Mouw, Dr. J.M. (Jolien)

Jolien Mouw is an educational scientist and conducts research on teaching and learning technologies. In her research and teaching, Mouw focuses on interactive learning, targeted teaching innovation, and teaching design involving learning technologies. In particular, she looks at how augmented and virtual reality can play a role in educating current and prospective teachers. She also focuses on training and professionalizing (future) educators in primary and higher education.

With her research, Mouw aims to answer questions such as ‘how can teachers incorporate learning technologies into their lessons?’, ‘which skills do teachers need to be able to teach with these technologies?’, and ‘what are the conditions for effective student learning when using these technologies?’ Mouw believes that these questions can help shape the future of education.

Mouw has won the Dutch Education Award 2024 for the project 'Order in the classroom with Virtual Reality'. In this project future teachers can practise ‘pre-school management skills’ such as quietening the class, anticipating behaviour and learning to react. The project is currently implemented at multiple universities of Applied Sciences and at the academic primary education teacher-training programme at UG.
