About this blog...

This blog is about reflecting my studies of pedagogics 1.8.2019-30.11.2020 in Hämeenlinna Ammattikorkeakoulu (in southern Finland) and combining the pedagogics studies with my former research. I have studied human behaviour and especially the subtle underlying psychological mechanisms of decision-making. My dissertation about the “Consumer Media Choice – Towards a Comprehensive Model” is under review. I hope to defend it next spring. 

As studying to be a Finnish Teacher for adults and teenagers I am especially interested in barriers to learning, role of expectations in learning (and expectations management) and self-rewards systems.  These themes are connected to my former research about barriers to buying (or deciding), expectations management in marketing and identity related consumption motives. 

Furthermore, I am extremely interested in Future Studies and I have published few papers related to future of consumption, media choices and voter decision making. I plan to participate in June 2020 the 21^stFutures Conference about Future of education and learning. The future sights of learning and educations will therefore also be discussed in this blog.
