Petri Nokelainen
Oma esittely
I am a Full Professor (Engineering Pedagogy) in the Tampere University, Finland. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Tampere (Vocational Education), the University of Helsinki (Methodology), and the Tallinn University (Education).
I have led the Professional Growth and Learning research group since 2012.
My research interests include engineering higher education (regulation of learning and active learning methods), professional growth (workplace learning and mentoring), development of professional and vocational excellence (self-regulation, competence), technology enhanced learning (pedagogical usability, pedagogical design, learning analytics), and applied multivariate and Bayesian methods (hybrid modeling, psychometrics).
I am the Chief Editor of Journal of Vocational and Professional Education, Board Member of VETNET (European Educational Research Association) and Finnish Vocational Research Association (OTTU), and Editorial Board Member of several scientific journals (incl. Vocations and Learning).
