Emeritus Hoogleraar

About Me

Ton de Jong studied cognitive psychology at the University of Amsterdam and received a PhD in technological science from the Eindhoven University of Technol­ogy on the topic ‘problem solving and knowledge repre­sentation in physics for novice students.

Currently he is full professor of the section Instructional Technology at the University of Twente, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences where he acts as head of the section Instructional Technology. In 2001/2002 he has also been (part-time) full professor at the Institute for Knowledge Media at the University of Tübingen (Germany). He has also worked for the Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, and the University of Amsterdam. He has coordinated eight EU-funded projects including the Go-Lab project.

He is (co-)author of over 100 journal papers and over 90 book chapters and was the (co-) editor of a number of books. He has three publications in Science.

He is former associate editor for Instructional Science and the Journal of Engineering Education. He is on the Editorial Boards for the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, International Journal of Science EducationJournal of Computers in Education, and Smart Learning Environments. He has been on the Editorial Boards of the International Journal of Educational Research, Educational Technology Research & Development (ETR&D), Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Educational PsychologistLearning & Instruction, the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, , Contemporary Educational Psychology, and Educational Research Review.

Ton de Jong is a fellow of AERA and the ISLS and is appointed member of the Academia Europaea.
