INTRODUCTION

He is currently the associate dean of the School of Psychology at Shandong Normal University. He graduated from Southwest Normal University in 2002, where he received his Ph.D. From then on, he works in Shandong Normal University. At the beginning of 2008, he joined the Cognitive Psychology Lab of The French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Université de Provence as a visiting scholar. Since 2008, Prof. Jiwei Si has been leading the Cognition Development and Learning Lab in the School of Psychology. His current research focuses on Metacognition, Cognitive Development and Learning. His group also concerns about Thinking and Decision Making, Career Planning and Professional Development.
