SEPI – Studies in Educational Psychology and Intervention

The SEPI-research group is dedicated to exploring and advancing the field of educational psychology, with a specific focus on developing and evaluating interventions aimed at improving learning outcomes.

The mission of the SEPI (Supporting Education and Psychological Interventions) research group is to serve as a vital connection between psychological research and educational practice, ensuring that the insights gained through rigorous scientific investigation are translated into meaningful, real-world applications in schools and learning environments. Our goal is to identify, study, and implement effective interventions that empower all students to achieve their fullest potential, with a particular focus on those who encounter learning challenges or require additional support due to various cognitive, emotional, or social factors. 

By leveraging evidence-based strategies and practices, we strive to create educational systems that are not only inclusive and equitable but also highly effective in meeting the needs of diverse learners. This includes addressing disparities in educational outcomes, fostering a sense of belonging and community in schools, and supporting educators in adopting approaches that are informed by the latest psychological research. 

At the core of our work lies the application of psychological principles to tackle the multifaceted challenges faced by students, educators, and institutions. Whether it involves designing interventions to enhance academic performance, developing tools to improve emotional well-being, or creating frameworks to support students with unique learning profiles, we are dedicated to fostering environments where every learner can thrive. Through our research, we aim to contribute to a future where educational practices are firmly rooted in science, and all students, regardless of their background or abilities, are provided with opportunities to succeed.
