Research Interests
Haataja investigates primary school students' mathematics motivation and teachers' professional development using multi-method approaches. Her work explores nonverbal teacher-student interactions through physiological measurements like eye tracking and EDA, emphasizing collaborative problem-solving and classroom dynamics. Recent studies focus on:
- Teacher beliefs and professional growth
- Visual attention in co-teaching
- Ecological validity of eye-tracking data
- Impact of socioeconomic factors on mathematical competence
- Authentic assessment and epistemic agency
- Admission methodologies (MMIs) in teacher education
Article Trends
Her publications center on mathematics education, teacher-student interactions, and technological integration (eye tracking). Key themes include collaborative learning, cognitive processes, and emotional factors affecting educational outcomes. Recent works analyze scaffolding techniques, measurement methodologies, and pandemic impacts on learning.
Projects
- Co-teaching visual attention (2025)
- MathTrack (2016–ongoing, Academy of Finland)
- MATHMot - Suomi (2020–2024, Norwegian Research Council)
- Language learning behavior (2023–2024)
Activities
Haataja actively participates in academic events, including presentations (e.g., “Exploring reciprocal visual interaction” 2025, “Interpersonal theory workshop” 2024) and committee roles in Finnish Educational Research Association and FERA. She organizes conferences and seminars on mathematics education and teaching methods.
