Janina Eberhart

Janina Eberhart is a postdoctoral researcher at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology at the University of Tübingen.

She is a developmental psychologist researching children’s cognitive development in educational contexts, in particular their self-regulation, metacognition, and executive functions. She completed a Ph.D. in the Centre for Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL) at the University of Cambridge  and examined children's classroom experiences and their executive function development. Her recent work aims to understand how metacognition can be best promoted in elementary school children. Currently, Janina is based in Stephanie Jones’ Ecological Approaches to Social and Emotional Learning (EASEL) Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for a one-year research stay.
