Assoc. Prof Sonja UGEN

Sonja Ugen is an Associate Professor in Educational Testing. Her main research interests englobe typical and atypical learning in and test development for multilingual contexts in the areas of reading, writing and mathematics. With a background in developmental psychology and psycholinguistics, she has acquired experience in (large-scale) standardised test development through her role in setting up the national school monitoring programme. Her interests extend from educational to psychological testing.
In this context, LUCET has recently developed specific test batteries aimed at diagnosing developmental learning disorders within a multilingual school population. Along the same lines, bridging large-scale and diagnostic testing, LUCET has developed a large-scale visual screening tool.
