Craig Vis - Student Educational Psychology: Learning and Performance

I hope to help the FAIRPLAY project from both a practical and a research perspective.
I hope to help the FAIRPLAY project from both a practical and a research perspective.

Craig Vis, student of the Master Educational Psychology: Learning and Performance, participated in the FAIRPLAY research project for his thesis. For that, he attended Hibernian FC Community Foundation in Edinburgh, Scotland. The FAIRPLAY project aims to increase resilience within the youth throughout the world by closely elaborating with multiple football clubs in Europe. In this testimonial he talks about the field experience he attained while attending this foundation, which was inspiring, energizing, and often quite touching.

The start of the involvement 

I’m currently on track to finish my MSc in Educational Psychology: Learning and Performance. This programme focuses on the mechanics that stand at the precipice of how we as humans learn and demonstrate what we have learned. Initially, I approached this course from a strictly educational point of view, but when dr. Brian Godor presented the FAIRPLAY project during one of our lectures, I immediately got inspired. This project brings together three of my passions: education, psychology, and sport in particular. I simply reached out to Brian, chatted about whether I could participate in this research for my thesis, and here we are!

The underlying construct of resilience

I hope to help the FAIRPLAY project from both a practical and a research perspective. On the one hand, I helped design a guidebook aimed at football trainers and contains a wide variety of exercises to foster resilience amongst adolescents. On the other hand, I study how optimism, one of the underlying constructs of resilience, is conceptualized between cultures to provide insight into the extendibility of FAIRPLAY’s research findings.

Lessons learned in Scotland

I visited Scotland to understand the work that community foundations, such as those found at Hibernian FC, do to reach out and help the many corners of society. Lewis Melee, CEO of the Hibernian FC Community Foundation and our collaborator on the FAIRPLAY project, welcomed me with open arms . Thanks to his efforts and hospitality, I attended several activities such as the practice sessions of the Community Foundations’ Youth Academy team (which is also the cohort that participates in the FAIRPLAY project)  In particular, the Memories of Football sessions had a lasting impact on my understanding of the far-reaching impact of community foundations.

This latter initiative, led by official club historian and curator Tom Wright, is a bimonthly activity organised by lifelong fans of Hibernian FC. Here, patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other mental health issues unite to relive their lifelong experiences of football anew, build connections, and share their passion for the game together. This initiative explicitly showed me the power of community work: seeing absent-minded people beam up after hearing one of the old clubs’ chants that played during the 60s shows that football is more than eleven people kicking a ball. Instead, sports are far-reaching and deeply ingrained in our culture and lives. It yields genuine and raw emotion and passion, fiercely experienced amongst the young, old, rich and poor.

My experience has shown me again that everybody should be able to access the opportunities of sport because, in the end, it brings people together for life.

Blok 3

5 ECTS -

People have always used media to support their learning. However, online digital media seem to have revolutionized the way we learn. Our learning needs can now be met anytime, anywhere, and adapted to our individual preferences. From Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to intelligent tutoring tools, from adaptive practice to serious games, the online opportunities seem endless. From a psychological perspective, this raises a lot of questions about the effects on individual learners. How do they handle their own learning behavior in an online environment that allows for constant distraction? What role does multimodality play in the way that people learn? How does gamification affect both both achievement but also motivation of the learner? And how can we design online learning environments that optimally adapt to the learners needs? We will tackle these questions by having a closer look at the available scientific evidence, but also by relating this evidence to existing online learning tools.

2 ECTS - 

In this practical, we will dive into the exciting field of learning analytics: the use of digital trace data that enable to designer of online learning environments that adapt to the needs of the individual learner.
