Biography
Professor Susanne Lajoie is a Tier 1 Canadian Research Chair in Advanced Technologies for Learning in Authentic Settings in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and a member of the Institute for Health Sciences Education at 91社区. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, as well as the American Psychological Association and the American Educational Research Association (AERA). She received the ACFAS Th茅r猫se Gouin-D茅carie Prize for Social Sciences along with the AERA-TICL Outstanding International Research Collaboration Award. Dr. Lajoie directs the Learning Environments Across Disciplines partnership grant funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Counsel in Canada. She explores how theories of learning and affect can be used to guide the design of advanced technology rich learning environments in different domains, i.e. medicine, mathematics, history, etc. These environments serve as research platforms to study student engagement and problem solving in authentic settings. She uses a cognitive approach to identify learning trajectories that help novice learners become more skilled in specific areas and designs computer tools to enhance self-regulation, memory, and domain-specific learning.
Research Interests
Dr. Lajoie has engaged in a wide array of innovative research and scholarly activities where she applies cognitive theories to education and training in multiple domains involving diverse learner populations:
- The design and evaluation of intelligent tutoring systems for classroom and real-world applications
- Computer-based learning and dynamic assessment in mathematics and science
- Medical education and informatics
- Cognition and instruction
- Individual differences
