Children's reading proficiency is closely related to their self-beliefs, such as their mindset, and socio-emotional well-being. Current practices for early assessment of reading proficiency, e.g. to detect reading problems, are known to be biased by children's socioeconomic status (SES) and (multi)lingual background, and thereby might negatively affect reading development and self-beliefs in children from lower SES backgrounds. This PhD position is part of a larger project (LeesKans) in which a new digital dynamic assessment (DA) tool will be developed to differentiate kindergartners based on their potential for learning to read rather than their current knowledge , with the aim to make it less biased. In this PhD project, you will obtain qualitative and quantitative data from and with teachers, parents and children to understand how to optimally implement DA practices without contributing to stigma and fixed-mindset beliefs about potential. Specifically, you will study the association between teacher's mindsets about learning potential and their teaching practices, such as the type of feedback they provide. In a parallel PhD project at Maastricht University, the effectiveness of the DA tool for characterizing dynamic developmental changes in both reading and socio-emotional skills in children will be tested. Together, the outcome of both PhD projects will enable teachers in providing improved reading education tailored to the diverse cognitive-motivational needs of individual children. The two PhD projects are part of a larger project funded by a collaborative NRO grant with consortium partners at UM (Milene Bonte), VU University (), RID dyslexia institutes (Jurgen Tijms), UvA (Eddie Brummelman), IPABO (Inouk Boerma), Erasmus MC (Hanneke Scholten). Both PhD students will closely work together with this dedicated team of researchers, game designers (game design studio Game Tailors), teachers and children across different regions of the Netherlands. The PhD project at the VU will be based in the Lab of Learning at the section of Clinical developmental Psychology (Faculty of Behavioural ad Movement Sciences). Your daily supervisors will be prof. and dr. Tieme Janssen, in close collaboration with dr. Eddie Brummelman (UvA) and prof. Milene Bonte (UM).
