About REBECCA COLLIE
I am a researcher in Educational Psychology and Learning Sciences. I completed my undergraduate at the University of Melbourne and my master’s and doctoral studies at the University of British Columbia. Previously, I worked as a primary school teacher in Melbourne.
My research focuses on optimising student, teacher and school thriving. I conduct research in the broad areas of wellbeing, motivation, and both academic and social-emotional development, using quantitative methods. My work focuses on students and teachers, also exploring supportive teaching practices and contextual factors that foster high-quality teaching and learning. In addition, I publish research on the use of generative AI in education, examining how it is being adopted and its implications for both teaching and learning.
To thrive is to prosper, to flourish, to grow and to develop well.
