Sabbatical leave 2018-2019 Prof. Peter Van Petegem

At NTNU a unique educational project is running across all faculties of the university, more specifically 'Experts in Teamwork', focusing on interdisciplinary cooperation skills. In recent years, a lot of efforts were invested in education, and at the same time a lot of data has been collected with the aim of researching the effectiveness of this learning environment. The focus of my sabbatical will be on a thorough evaluation study, in which different cohort groups can be used (annually> 2000 students, divided into 'villages' of 25-30 students, with interdisciplinary groups of 5-6 people), with three measuring moments each.Besides the track of psychometric research, structural comparisons, multilevel analyzes with multiple measurement moments, I want to discover a second track, more specifically data mining. There is expertise available at NTNU in this area and I would like to explore the possibilities for analyzing large data files with educational variables.
