Dr Johanna Pöysä-Tarhonen is a senior researcher at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research (FIER), University of Jyväskylä and a Docent of Learning Environments Research at the Philosophical Faculty, University of Eastern Finland. She has profound interest in the theoretical foundations of learning as a social phenomenon and the use of technologies for learning, including educational design. Her research interests also include the design of future learning environments as hybrid, collaborative learning spaces and their scalability into varied levels of education. Much of her work is process-orientated, utilising multi-modal data and advanced methods, such as eye-tracking. Recently, she has carried out research on the anatomy and dynamics of productive collaborative problem solving (CPS) through studying joint attention behaviour and the role of coordination and commitment in collaboration in remote interaction context.
She also supervises doctoral students in the Doctoral School of the Faculty of Education and Psychology, JYU (https://www.jyu.fi/edupsy/fi/tohtorikoulu).
