Since November 2015, Barbara Flunger has been working as an assistant professor at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. Her research focuses on the question how students鈥� motivation and learning behavior can be improved, considering the impact of students' individual differences. To this end, she is also interested in advanced statistical modeling techniques that effectively identify and model the impact of student heterogeneity on academic outcomes, e.g., concerning the significance of students' family background.
Barbara Flunger was awarded a grant by the DFG on configurations of learning types in students鈥� homework behavior. Barbara Flunger is leading a research project since 2022 on the role of autonomy regulation in self-directed learning in collaboration with Tamara van Gog, funded by the PhD fund of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. Moreover, Barbara Flunger, together with Vincent Hoogerheide, leads the project 鈥淢aking homework work: Generating vlogs as learning strategy鈥�, funded by the Stimuleringsbeurs Rijksoverheid, as of September 2024.
