My main interest lies in students’ motivation and science education. I also focus on higher education pedagogy in my current research.
My primary research interest lies in students’ motivation, preferably in relation to science education. My research also concerns, for example, epistemic beliefs (beliefs about knowledge and knowing), assessment, and students' well-being. Currently, I have an assistant professor position focused on higher education pedagogy.
Originally, I am an upper secondary school teacher in chemistry and biology, and the long-term aim of my research is to contribute to the development of teacher practices to enhance students’ motivation.
I also teach courses within the teacher education and act as director of studies for research education at our department.
