About
I have successfully defended my PhD thesis on "Computer-based learning games involving chance-based uncertainty: An approach in the interdisciplinary area of NeuroEducation" at the Graduate School of Education of the University of Bristol (UK) under the supervision of Dr Paul Howard-Jones. My broad area of research interest is technology enhanced learning and in particular educational computer games. My focus is on how positive prediction error may impact on learning within such environments. I am also interested in learners’ motivation and emotional engagement within such contexts. Additionally, I look at the dialogue discourse to gain insight on the constructs individuals form while playing a computer game for learning. Also, I am interested in competitive computer gaming and how the type of the artificial opponent may influence individuals’ learning and constructions. My explorations follow an interdisciplinary approach, mostly combining knowledge derived from Education, Neuroscience and Psychology. Based on this, I have conducted both laboratory-based and classroom-based studies to investigate the research topics I am interested in.
Prior to my enrollment in the PhD course, I completed an MEd in Research Methods (Distinction) in 2007 and an MSc in Education, Technology and Society (Distinction) in 2006 at the University of Bristol. My undergraduate studies (BSc) were completed at the University of Cyprus in 2005 in the area of Education Sciences – Primary Education.
