Regarding measurement, the ambition of the ProMoBE project - like any research project - is to be able to test hypotheses made on the basis of the literature by rigorously using reliable and valid tools.
Another ambition of the ProMoBE project is to reduce the gap between the world of educational psychology research and the world of teaching. To this end, we make the tools we use available so that teachers who wish to do so can use them to develop their own protocols.
