Biography

I work at the Department of Teacher Education as an Interaction Coordinator and Postdoctoral Researcher in Critical project (www.educritical.fi/en), which aims to support the development of children's and adolescents' critical reading skills. The project is funded for the years 2020-2026 by the Strategic Research Council (SRC) and it belongs to the program Literacy.  

Research interests

My research contributes to students' critical online reading skills, particularly their abilities to evaluate the credibility of online texts. I am also interested in which factors are related to students' skills, how these skills develop, and how critical online reading skills can be taught in schools, efficiently.
