The following contains currently open thesis topics in our areas of research. If you are interested in a topic or have a thesis idea of your own that might fit our research interests, please contact us directly.
Topics in this area focus on humanistic computer science learning environments in which students can bring their own questions, interests and solution strategies into learning processes in computer science. Particular attention may be given to acceptance, empathy, self-regulation, trust, failure…
This area focuses on attitudes and strategies that play a role when solving computational problems, such as persistence, tolerance of errors, curiosity, self-efficacy, student-centered dispositions and dealing with uncertainty.
