prof.dr. M.D. Endedijk (Maaike)

I am an adjunct professor in Professional Learning and Technology and chair of the corresponding department (PLT). My research is focused on lifelong learning, with a specific focus on self-directed workplace learning. Facing the rapid changes in the world of work and society, continuous professional learning is vital for employees to keep up with and contribute to societal transformations and technological innovations. I use innovative measurement techniques (e.g., sensor technology and a mobile app) to get more insights in how learning processes evolve in the flow of work, both within individual employees, teams, and learning communities. To increase the potential of workplace learning, I develop interventions (e.g., Career Compass Feedback tool, micro-interventions in the Learning Moments app, micro Learning Communities) to facilitate continuous learning. Most of my research is located in the technology and health sector. I try to relate my research as much as possible to societal challenges, such as human capital challenges in relation to the energy transition or the digital transformation. In addition, I am a lecturer in the program Educational Science & Technology and academic lead of the UT-wide program management team of lifelong learning.
