Kim Stroet is appointed as assistant professor at the Institute of Education and Child Studies at Leiden University. She obtained her PhD with a dissertation on teacher-student interactions in prevocational education. Dissertation: ‘Studying motivation in classrooms’ (2014). (Co-)promotors: dr. M.C.J.L.

Research

Currently, Kim is developing a line of research aimed at gaining understanding of how motivation, engagement and creativity may be supported in diverse contexts. She pays attention to processes within the child, as well as to group processes, and to fair opportunities in education.

Focus points for the coming years are cognitive autonomy, diversity and connectedness within an inclusive community. Within this line of research she applies mixed methods and works in close collaboration with primary schools in The Hague and Leiden.

 

Kim is involved in the kenniswerkplaats ‘Gelijke Onderwijskansen, Haags Onderwijs Anders’. The kenniswerkplaats is a collaboration between the municipality of The Hague, three educational boards and six schools for primary education in The Hague. The focus is on stimulating research in schools and sensitivity to practice at the university. Central themes are motivation, teacher-expectations, feedback, and parental involvement. The kenniswerkplaats is financed by the municipality of the Hague and the Gelijke Kansen Alliantie.
