Research Interests: Pengelley explores how technology interacts with cognitive processes during assessments, emphasizing working memory limitations in younger students. His work advocates for tailored strategies to mitigate digital distractions and enhance digital literacy skills.
Key Findings: Recent studies indicate paper-based tests may yield better results for complex questions due to reduced cognitive load. Recommendations include extended testing time for complex computer tasks and early keyboard training.
Collaborations: Co-authored research with Anabela Malpique (Edith Cowan University) and Nina Rovis-Hermann (Murdoch University). Collaborated with Peter Whipp on empirical studies involving 263 Perth high school students.
