Research summaries and biographies of the participants

The Doctoral School provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in a workshop under the guidance of distinguished senior researchers. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their dissertation work to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. We welcome submissions from students at any stage of their doctoral studies.

Prospective Supervisors:

  • Prof. Dr. Andrej Brodnik (University of Ljublana, Slovenia). Suggestions and criteria for writing computer science education doctoral thesis.
  • Prof. Dr. Erik Barendsen (Nijmegen Rounbound University, The Netherlands). Investigating teacher knowledge and students' learning using PCK instruments, concept maps and learner reports.
  • Dr. Renata Burbaitė (Panevėžys gymnasium). Using software to make research easier
