Personlig profil
Meritförteckning
I am a post-doc researcher at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki. I did my Ph.d. (educational psychology) at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland with Prof. Jari-Erik Nurmi, Prof. Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen and Dr. Eija Pakkarinen from University of Jyväskylä and Prof. Eve Kikas from Tallinn University, Estonia. In my Ph.d., I specifically focus on teaching practices, classroom observation, reading skills and development, motivations in Finnish and Estonian schools.
Currently, I am working with Prof. Katariina Salmela-Aro on numerous academic projects. I am focusing on motivations, engagement, and wellbeing using longitudinal data and experience sampling method data.
In general, I am interested in understanding how students are motivated to learn in the school, and how the school environment and teaching practices can help them to reach it.
