Liisa Lavonen serves as a Lecturer at Viikki Normal School for lower grades and as a Doctoral Researcher within the Doctoral Programme in School, Education, Society and Culture at the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Educational Sciences. Her work bridges teacher training and primary education research with emphasis on home economics and science disciplines.

- Master of Education (awarded April 12, 2017)
Lavonen's research centers on project-based learning methodologies in primary education, investigating how contextualized projects enhance pupils' scientific and home economics knowledge through qualitative research approaches. She examines classroom dynamics, developmental processes, and the integration of storytelling and technology to support student engagement in everyday life contexts, with particular focus on Finnish educational practices.
Her recent publications (2022-2025) consistently demonstrate how interdisciplinary project units foster scientific reasoning and practical life skills in primary classrooms, while simultaneously informing teacher education curricula and collaborative school culture development.
Projects:
- GenAI in primary school (2025-2027): Investigating generative artificial intelligence applications in primary education
- NAVI-HED: Navigating through Digital Challenges in Home economics education (2021-2023): Addressing digital integration challenges in home economics teaching
As a Doctoral Researcher, Lavonen actively contributes to academic discourse through conference presentations and collaborative research networks, though specific student advising roles are not documented. Her work operates within a robust Finnish research consortium examining innovative pedagogical approaches across educational contexts.
