About me

I work as a Professor and Director of CARPE (Centre for Assessment Research, Policy and Practice in Education) at Dublin City University (Ireland) and as an Ikerbasque Professor and principal investigator of ERLA (Education, Regulated Learning & Assessment group) at Deusto University (Spain).

My research focuses on the application of educational psychology to understand self-regulated learning, educational assessment, and their interaction. I examine how formative assessment practices, such as self-assessment, peer assessment, the use of rubrics, and feedback, influence self-regulated learning, self-efficacy, and academic performance. Additionally, I investigate the psychological factors, including interpersonal and social variables, that are associated with these assessment practices.

I have extensive experience as an external consultant and facilitator of full-day workshops for educational institutions, particularly universities, with a focus on educational assessment and self-regulated learning. Examples of these workshops include ‘Foundations of Educational Assessment,’ ‘How to Deliver Feedback that Has an Impact,’ and ‘Design of Assessment Instruments,’ among others.
