New on CELSTEC Staff: Halszka Jarodzka

Halszka Jarodzka has joint the Learning & Cognition group at CELSTEC as an assistant professor as of 15th of July.

Halszka Jarodzka studied psychology at the Eberhard-Karls University of Tuebingen, Germany. During this period she worked as a student assistant at the Max-Planck-Institute (working group on developmental psychology), Eberhard-Karls University of Tuebingen (department of social and personality psychology), Knowledge Media Research Center (media and educational psychology), and as a student apprentice at SAP AG (research unit of a software company). She did her “diploma” (german Master) on social dilemmas in knowledge sharing within an online game scenario. Afterwards she worked at the Hypermedia group at the Knowledge Media Research Center as a research scientist and as a PhD candidate.

Her thesis is on (1) detecting expertise differences at a process level via eye tracking and verbal protocols while inspecting visual material (2) and the training of these processes by means of “eye movement modelling examples” (worked examples that present the visual attention of the model). She did this in the domains of biological classification and medical diagnosis.
