معرفی
Dr. Jacqueline Wong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Education and Pedagogy at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Utrecht University. Her academic work focuses on enhancing educational practices through evidence-based research in self-regulated learning and learning analytics, with particular applications in higher education contexts.
Dr. Wong earned her Ph.D. (cum laude) from Erasmus University Rotterdam with a thesis entitled "Enhancing Self-Regulated Learning Through Instructional Supports and Learning Analytics in Online Higher Education," which received the Best Thesis Award 2021 from the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities. She completed her Master's degree (cum laude) in Educational Psychology, where she examined the use of movements to support text comprehension. Prior to joining Utrecht University, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology (2020-2022) working with the Program of Innovation in Mathematics Education (PRIME).
Dr. Wong's research program spans several interconnected areas: the application of learning analytics to support self-regulated learning, the design of instructional interventions that promote metacognitive awareness, and the investigation of how emerging technologies like generative AI can enhance educational experiences. Her work frequently examines how technology can be leveraged to support students' metacognitive processes and goal-setting behaviors in both traditional and online educational settings. She has made significant contributions to understanding how conversational agents and learning analytics can provide personalized support for students' self-regulated learning processes.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward integrating emerging technologies with established educational theories. Her 2024-2025 work increasingly focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and educational psychology, particularly examining how generative AI tools can enhance academic text accessibility and provide adaptive support for learning. She also continues to investigate cognitive aspects of learning in educational games and augmented reality environments, with implications for both educational practice and learning theory development.
Among her notable achievements, Dr. Wong received the Best Thesis Award 2021 from the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities. This recognition highlights the significant contribution her doctoral work has made to the field of educational psychology and learning sciences. Her systematic reviews, including examinations of student engagement in mathematics education and gamification in MOOCs, have provided valuable syntheses of research in growing areas of educational technology.
Dr. Wong has been an active research member of the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Learning and Education (LDE-CEL) and the network for Self-Regulated Learning in Digitalised Schools (SeReLeDiS). Her collaborative approach to research is evident in her extensive co-authorship network across multiple institutions. Before joining Utrecht University, she worked with lecturers to promote student motivation and self-regulated learning in blended service mathematics courses and examined the effectiveness of technology tools for learning mathematics.
Dr. Wong's work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical implementations, often involving close partnerships with educators to ensure research relevance to real-world classroom challenges. Her current research appears to be moving toward deeper integration of AI technologies with educational theory, particularly examining how generative AI can support metacognitive processes and self-regulated learning across diverse educational contexts.
