My research deals with learning, teaching and communication of science and technology in
In my current research I connect science learning to agency, futures-thinking and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and work also with the concepts of teacher's professional agency, authenticity and relevance of science education, and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in school contexts. I have studied scientific and technological literacy and public engagement in several societally relevant fields of science and innovation, such as nanotechnology and climate change. I've been involved in the following EU-funded projects:
My teaching (as Senior university lecturer in Didactics of Physics in the Dept. of Education, Univ. of Helsinki) includes courses and supervision for pre-service secondary school (subject) teachers, pre-service primary school (class) teachers, and in-service teachers.
I co-operate in various projects related science education, science communication and public engagement in the context of the LUMA centre.
