Georg Pardi

Dr. Georg Pardi is a researcher and PhD student at the Institute for Research on Learning and Instruction (IWM) at the University of Tübingen, affiliated with the Multimodal Interaction Lab led by Prof. Dr. Gerjets. His work focuses on understanding how web search behaviors contribute to learning processes, particularly through eye-tracking studies and investigations into procedural knowledge acquisition.

He holds a Master’s degree in e-learning and media education from the Heidelberg University of Education, where his thesis explored learners' evaluation of search engine results for procedural knowledge. His research spans topics including multimodal interaction, virtual reality applications in education, and the impact of source reputation on search preferences.

Pardi is involved in projects like SALIENT (Search as Learning), MINT-ProNeD, and KuMuS-ProNeD, which aim to enhance STEM and arts education through technology-driven innovations. His work bridges cognitive science, educational technology, and human-computer interaction, emphasizing practical implications for learning design.

Key contributions include studies on immersive video environments, visuospatial abilities in VR, and methodological advancements in analyzing web-based learning behaviors. He actively collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to advance theories of 'search as learning' and improve educational technologies.
