Prof. dr. Tim Mainhard
After doing his master’s in psychology at Maastricht University, Tim Mainhard received a PhD from Utrecht University for his dissertation on interpersonal teacher behavior in secondary education classrooms. He received several external research grants, including personal grants from the Dutch Research Council.
His research on interpersonal processes in the classroom is relevant to current societal issues such as citizenship education, equity in education and the teacher shortage. Tim Mainhard focuses primarily on how interaction and the social climate in primary and secondary education can best be operationalized and how teacher-student interaction contributes to motivation, well-being and learning. His research also focuses on implications for teachers themselves, such as professional well-being and stress.
