Author Biography


Carolien Knoop-van Campen (Nijmegen, 1987) graduated from the Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen, with the profiles Nature & Health and Nature & Technology in 2006. In the following years, she obtained her Bachelor in Pedagogy at the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen, and her Bachelor in Pedagogical and Educational Sciences at the Radboud University (RU) Nijmegen. To pursue both her interest in research and her ambition to be practically relevant, she first completed the two-year Research Master’s degree in Behavioral Science (RU) and then obtained

her diagnostic qualification as a child psychologist (orthopedagoog) through a practical internship in primary education.


In 2015, she started a PhD project at the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) at the Department of Learning and Development with her own research proposal. In this project, Carolien researched multimedia learning in children and adults with dyslexia. In 2018 she was nominated for the Christine Mohrmann Stipendium for promising female PhD candidates. To further specialize in learning processes, Carolien attended an international eye-tracking course at Utrecht University (UU) and went on a

working visit to Prof. Dr. Ladislao Salmerón in Valencia. She is a member of the EARLI Special Interest Group 27 ‘Online Measures of Learning Processes’ and has presented her research at various national and international conferences and symposia. She regularly presents her work to the educational field, for example at the annual National Dyslexia

Conference and during training days for e.g., the Regional Institute for Dyslexia and the CED-group. Carolien taught undergraduate and graduate students of the Pedagogical Sciences and Educational Sciences program and obtained her Basic Teaching Qualification (BKO) in 2019.


In addition to her PhD research, from 2014 onwards Carolien has been working within the Adaptive Learning Lab (ALL, RU) on research into adaptive learning environments and teacher dashboards, where she continued to work as a postdoc with dr. Inge Molenaar. She was also involved as a postdoc on the ‘Tussen wal en schip’ project of prof. dr. Evelyn Kroesbergen on twice-exceptional students.


Currently, Carolien works as an assistant professor at the BSI (RU). She is co-promotor on two projects (HHAIR: Hybrid Human-AI Regulation" & "How teacher dashboards support the development of primary school students’ SRL skills") and works together with dr. Ellen Kok (UU) on research into the application of eye-tracking data in reading comprehension education. She teaches at the Pedagogical Sciences and Educational Sciences programme (RU).
