Prof. dr. Katrien De Cocker is appointed as a lecturer at the Department of Movement and Sports Sciences (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) at Ghent University. Within the Sports Pedagogy research group, she takes the lead in the ‘education’ and ‘health’-related topics. Given her expertise in developing and evaluating (tailored digital) interventions, she mainly conducts intervention research. Building on Self-Determination Theory, she aims to develop interventions that optimize the (de)motivating styles of (physical education) teachers and healthcare professionals and evaluate whether this positively influences the physical and mental health of students and patients.
