Her research group explores key factors influencing successful learning, including motivational, emotional, and cognitive aspects, as well as teacher perception and professional development.
Research interests center around the development and measurement of self-regulated learning competencies across educational transitions. The group investigates how self-regulation interacts with executive functions, self-efficacy, and resilience. Additional focus areas include game-based learning, digital learning settings, and the promotion of emotional regulation skills. Inclusive education is another core theme, particularly examining pedagogical-psychological aspects of teaching design for students with and without disabilities.
The team employs multi-method approaches, including longitudinal studies, eye-tracking, and mixed-method designs, to understand learning processes and teacher competencies. Current projects involve studying self-regulation in early education transitions and among prospective teachers.
Prof. Perels supervises bachelor’s and master’s theses on topics such as self-regulated learning, self-compassion, and inclusive teaching practices. Although specific grants and awards are not mentioned in the text, her leadership of an active research group indicates ongoing funded projects and scholarly contributions.
The research group includes postdoctoral researchers and graduate students working on interconnected themes, creating a collaborative environment focused on advancing empirical educational research.
