- Hähkiöniemi Markus
Markus Hähkiöniemi, University lecturer, PhD (Mathematics education), Department of Teacher Education. Management of project in Jyväskylä and designing activities, especially students’ involvement in mathematical reasoning. Hähkiöniemi is leading an ongoing research project on how mathematics teacher trainees implement technology enriched inquiry mathematics in grades 7 to 12 (e.g., Hähkiöniemi, Leppäaho & Francisco, 2013). Hähkiöniemi has been a teacher in high school as well as lecturer and researcher in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Hähkiöniemi has expertise in designing mathematical activities in which students are actively solving problems.
- Pirjo Häkkinen
Pirjo Häkkinen, MSc is a former secondary school teacher (14 years) and now she is a researcher of Chemistry Education at Department of Chemistry. Her interests are connected to primary school students, concerning how they learn chemistry and physics through experimental work. Chemistry and physics started as new subjects in primary schools 5th and 6th grade (11 and 12 years, respectively) in 2004. Both the new curriculum from 2014 and the former in 2004 have emphasized experimental teaching and learning.
