Research on study skills

Van Ketel develops field experiments in teaching at the Faculty of Law. Study skills are the main topic in these. A major project is the development and evaluation of modules that increase opportunities for first-generation students.

In his research, he likes to focus on the direct relevance of research for (educational) practice. As a teacher and musician, he is inspired to do so by needs from the practical field, and as a psychologist he is convinced of the advantages of a scientific approach.
