Aleksandar Baucal (University of Belgrade): is professor at the Department of Psychology at the University of Belgrade. His main field of interest is the socio-cultural developmental psychology and studies of development of new competencies through symmetric (collaborative peer learning) and asymmetric (learning with adults) social interaction. Aleksandar Baucal's contribution is related to improvement of traditional pre-post test research design by integration with the Item Response Theory (IRT) and involvement of qualitative case studies. The enhanced pre-post test design enables researchers to measure developmental effects of collaborative learning and to understand different ways how new competencies can be developed through social interaction.
