CV

Luise von Keyserlingk is Tenure Track Professor for Learning and Instruction at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology. Her research interests focus on motivation, self-regulated learning, educational choices and mental health of high school students and university students. She is particularly interested in understanding which individual and contextual factors contribute to a positive academic and socio-emotional development of learners in high school, at college, and during educational transitions.

A central element of her current research is the combination of multiple data sources from realistic educational contexts, such as self-reports from survey data, digital trace data from learning management systems, and administrative data to improve our understanding of motivation, learning, and a positive socio-emotional development in authentic learning environments.

Before starting her position as a Tenure Track Professor at the Hector Research Institute, she was employed as a postdoctoral fellow at the TU Dortmund University (2021 – 2023) and at the University of California, Irvine (USA; 2019 – 2021). Before, she worked as a doctoral student at the DIPF Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and obtained her doctoral degree at the Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany.
