Halliki Põlda serves as Lecturer of Lifelong Learning at Tallinn University's School of Educational Science, building on prior experience as a Communication Lecturer at the same institution. Her career centers on bridging educational theory with practical communication strategies through non-formal learning frameworks.
Dr. Põlda earned her doctorate in 2019 with groundbreaking research on societal constructions of giftedness, establishing that public communication should frame it as a developable human capacity rather than an exclusive trait. Her work directly challenges elitist narratives in education.
Her research portfolio spans Educational Communication, Non-formal Learning Methodologies, and Giftedness Studies, utilizing Critical Discourse Analysis to examine power structures in educational narratives. She actively promotes the principle that all individuals possess inherent, cultivatable talents requiring societal support.
Halliki supervises bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students with an emphasis on learner-centered approaches. She treats young learners as autonomous adults, designing flexible educational pathways that accommodate diverse developmental needs while rejecting one-size-fits-all pedagogical models.
