Veronique Schutjens works on research projects concerning student self-regulation, specifically focusing on learning experiences in outdoor environments within the field of Geosciences. Her research aims to boost learning effects through 'outdoor' teaching methodologies, emphasizing the connection between individual reflection, peer interaction, and feedback during these experiences. With over 30 years of experience, her human geographical research has centered on the determinants of spatial variations in entrepreneurial attitudes and the conditions affecting new firm creation and development. Schutjens has shifted her focus to analyze how outdoor teaching impacts the development of transferable skills and professional competencies that young adults need in the 'outside world'. She advocates for Educational Scholarship, particularly in the context of Scholarship Teaching and Learning, and chairs the 'Youth Education & Life Skills' research community at Utrecht University, collaborating with colleagues in Social Behavioural Sciences to enhance educational practices.
