Biography

I work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) and in the EDUCA - the Future of Education Flagship. I also belong to the research group of the cross-national Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study.

Research interests

The goal of my research is to increase understanding of which factors positively or negatively affect the learning, well-being and health of young people.

The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) asks teachers and school leaders about working conditions and learning environments at their schools to help countries face diverse challenges. TALIS aims to provide valid, timely and comparable information to help countries review and define policies for developing a high-quality teaching profession. It is an opportunity for teachers and school leaders to provide input into educational policy analysis and development in key areas. Themes explored include professional development, school leadership, teaching practices, school climate, appraisal and feedback, job satisfaction and teacher profiles.
