About
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning (CRADLE) at Institute of Behavioural Sciences (University of Helsinki). My main fields are (educational) philosophy, epistemology, and methodology. The topic of my doctoral disseration (2006) made in philosophy was on abductive models of discovery. My research focuses on models and theories on knowledge creation, discovery, distributed cognition, and technology mediated collaborative learning. My most important papers have dealt with metaphors of learning (acquisition, participation, knowledge creation), the trialogical approach to learning, and abductive methodology of searching hypotheses.
