Research

Dr. Maria Cutumisu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, Faculty of Education, McGill University in the area of Learning Sciences. Previously, she was a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, Faculty of Education, at the University of Alberta in the area of Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta. She graduated with an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computing Science from the Department of Computing Science, University of Alberta and she trained as a postdoctoral scholar in Learning Sciences in the AAA Lab at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Her research in the Assessment of Learning and Transfer (ALERT) lab draws on computing science and education and has been funded by tri-council grants and scholarships as a PI (NSERC DG, NSERC CGS-D, SSHRC IG, and SSHRC IDG) and as a co-PI (SSHRC IG, and SSHRC IDG, and CIHR). Her research interests include feedback processing (SSHRC IDG grant), machine learning and educational data mining techniques for automated feedback generation (NSERC DG), game-based assessments that support learning and performance-based learning (SSHRC IG grants), computational thinking (e.g., CanCode Callysto grants, CCTt tests, and SSHRC IG), AI in games (e.g., reinforcement learning in computer role-playing games), serious games (e.g., the RETAIN game for neonatal resuscitation), and virtual character (i.e., agent) behaviours in interactive computer games with applications in education. She has employed learning analytics to investigate the impact of K-16 students’ choices (e.g., willingness to choose critical feedback from interactive virtual characters and to revise digital posters) on learning outcomes and mindset within an online game-based assessment environment to understand how prepared students are to learn and innovate. She uses psychophysiological techniques (e.g., eye-tracking and electrodermal activity wearables) to provide a comprehensive understanding of students' learning and memory processes (SSHRC, Killam). She is also affiliated with the Centre for Research in Applied Measurement and Evaluation (CRAME), Centre for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation (CSAR), EdTeKLA, AI4Society, Centre for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education (CMASTE), Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute (NMHI) at the University of Alberta, and Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI).
