We welcome Dr. Jesús Peralta Hernández as a visiting researcher from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at the Institute of Vocational Education and Training and in particular at the Department of Vocational and Business Education.

As a post-doctoral candidate, Dr. Peralta Hernández's research focuses on creativity in the context of informal learning processes (including transformation processes and the associated opportunities for workplace-based learning). His other research interests include topics in the field of cultural psychology, activity theory and the theory of dynamic systems.

During his guest stay at the University of Kassel, Dr. Peralta will work with Professor Dr. Goller and his research group on a joint research project on the topic of "Creativity and work agency in the context of teachers' professional learning and development processes". The focus is on developing a category system that can be used to evaluate and interpret data from pedagogical interventions.

Further information about him can be found at the following link of the National Autonomous University of Mexico:
