Personality and learning differences

Educational Psychology

This research axis investigates how individual differences—including personality traits, identity development, and emotional-cognitive processes—shape learning experiences, motivation, collaboration, and educational outcomes. It aims to deepen understanding of the psychological and social mechanisms that drive how learners engage with and respond to different learning environments, both in traditional and digital settings. This work adopts a multi-method approach integrating experimental studies, classroom interventions, and systematic reviews. Together, the projects under this axis explore how learners’ personalities and self-concepts influence collaboration, engagement, and adaptability, and how emerging technologies such as conversational AI can be designed to support these diverse learner profiles. Identify how learners differ in their approaches to education based on personality traits and cognitive-emotional profiles. Examine how these individual differences influence group formation, collaborative processes, and academic engagement across diverse learning contexts. Design and evaluate AI-mediated learning environments that can enhance inclusion, motivation, and educational outcomes by adapting to learners’ unique personality and profiles.
