Aron Decuyper is an active researcher at Ghent University's Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Department of Educational Studies, specializing in collaborative teaching dynamics and teacher professional development. His work primarily focuses on team teaching implementation, teacher self-efficacy, and instructional effectiveness within the Flemish educational context.
His research interests center on educational psychology and teacher training, with specific expertise in collaborative pedagogy, classroom dynamics, and teacher self-efficacy. Decuyper investigates how team teaching structures impact instructional quality, teacher collaboration patterns, and professional development needs, employing both quantitative large-scale surveys and qualitative video-based observation methodologies.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent focus on team teaching dynamics across multiple dimensions: implementation challenges in Flemish schools, teacher self-efficacy measurements, behavioral observation studies, and the development of practical frameworks for educational practitioners. His work demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication from descriptive studies to complex multilevel analyses and mixed-methods approaches.
Decuyper is actively involved in the ESTAFETT research project and the LOPO (LerarenOpleiding en Professionalisering) research group, contributing to teacher training innovations and educational policy recommendations in Flanders. His collaborative network includes key figures like Ruben Vanderlinde (28 co-publications) and Hanne Tack (20 co-publications), indicating strong institutional research partnerships.
His current research trajectory shows expansion into related areas including teacher burnout recovery, global citizenship education, and digital feedback tools for teacher training, suggesting growing influence across multiple educational subdomains while maintaining core focus on collaborative teaching practices.
