Henri Heiskanen

My main research areas are related to early childhood education and classroom teacher students’ learning, teaching and motivation of mathematics. I have published several articles in scientific journals and participated in professional anthologies.

I have researched the profiles of team leadership in Finnish early childhood education and examined the experiences of early childhood education teachers about team leadership. In my dissertation, I researched the motivation, emotions, self-regulation skills and learning strategies of student teachers and their connections to the performance of mathematics tasks in different learning environments.

As a teacher trainer, I aim to promote students’ learning and support their professional development on the way to becoming a teacher.
