Sui Lin Goei serves as a Visiting Fellow at the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences, specifically within the Teacher Academy at VU Amsterdam, and holds the position of Professor of Inclusive Learning Environments at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Her academic profile demonstrates substantial engagement with educational research, particularly in teacher development methodologies and inclusive learning environments across various educational contexts.

Dr. Goei's research interests center on Lesson Study (appearing in 100% of her academic fingerprint), Inclusive Education (17%), Teacher Professional Development (18%), and related areas including Self-Efficacy (14%) and Educational Needs (12%). Her work examines how educational practices, particularly Lesson Study, translate across cultural contexts while maintaining effectiveness in improving classroom dynamics and teacher development. She investigates the implementation challenges of educational methodologies in diverse settings, with particular attention to social classroom dynamics and inclusive learning environments.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on cross-cultural implementation of Lesson Study, with particular attention to how this Japanese-originated methodology adapts in Western educational contexts including Portugal, England, and the Netherlands. Her work demonstrates evolving sophistication in examining the intersection of institutional structures, cultural factors, and teacher agency in educational reform. Recent publications increasingly address higher education contexts while maintaining strong connections to primary and secondary education applications.

Dr. Goei has supervised two PhD theses and actively participates in research project leadership, including the ELEV8 project focused on 'Elevating Lesson Study in Europe through Virtual Alliance in Teacher Education' (2022-2025) and the ARETE research project (2019-2023). Her academic service includes board membership with Lesson Study NL since 2017 and participation on the NIAS-Lorentz Advisory Board.

Her research activities extend to international collaboration, including a visiting researcher position at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia in Bandung (2017), demonstrating commitment to global educational exchange. Dr. Goei's work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to quality education and reduced inequalities through inclusive learning environments.
