Good news to start the new year
The VignA coordination and management team is delighted to welcome its newest member Stephanie Mian!
She has already worked on the FWF project 'Personal educational processes in heterogenous groups' under the direction of Michael Schratz and also used them in her dissertation, in which she investigated phenomena of engagement (ger: 'Sich-Einlassen'). In her current research, she is using the vignettes in the STEPS project.
The VignA core team is looking forward to the new collaboration!
