The Center for Instructional Psychology and Technology (CIP&T) investigates learning and teaching in specific subject domains, esp. in mathematics. Emphasis is put on the role of cognitive, metacognitive and affective variables in the teaching/learning process, and on the design of powerful technology-enhanced teaching/learning environments. The CIP&T staff consists of about 40 people (PhD students, researchers, administrative staff, voluntary collaborators, …). The present PhD project fits within the ongoing research lines of the CIP&T. It specifically aims to contribute to the research line on designing powerful teaching/learning environments for young children in the domain of mathematics, using picture book reading.
