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 which focused on children’s classroom experiences and their executive function development. Her current work aims to understand how metacognition can be best promoted in elementary school children.
At the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology she works on the project “Schule macht stark - SchuMaS!” which aims to improve learning conditions for children who attend schools in socially disadvantaged areas.
