Educational Psychology & Stealth Assessment Intern

The Educational Psychology & Stealth Assessment Intern will contribute to the design and refinement of game-based evaluation tasks for children across Classes 1–12. This role focuses on embedding assessment invisibly into gameplay to measure cognitive and learning dimensions without triggering test anxiety.

Key Responsibilities:

• Apply Evidence-Centred Design (ECD) principles to construct and map Competency Models, Evidence Models, and Task Models for interactive gameplay.
• Translate core cognitive constructs—including attention, working memory, reasoning, and problem-solving—into age-appropriate game mechanics and quests.
• Collaborate with product and game design teams to ensure assessment tasks maintain ecological validity and cannot be gamed or faked.
• Adapt narrative loops and difficulty scaling across four specific age bands (Classes 1–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12) to match developmental stages.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors/ Master's or advanced studies in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Instructional Design, or Learning Sciences.
• Knowledge of Evidence-Centred Design (ECD) and game-based assessment frameworks.
• Strong research capabilities in evaluating cognitive development and learning mechanics.
