Teija Paavilainen is a Project Researcher and RC DIGS research community coordinator at the University of Eastern Finland's School of Applied Educational Science and Teacher Education. Her work focuses on integrating learning analytics and learning design to support self-regulated learning (SRL) in primary education. She investigates how digital tools and pedagogical frameworks can enhance learning processes in blended environments, particularly in phenomenon-based and collaborative learning contexts.

Research Interests:

• Learning analytics in K-12 education
• Technology-enhanced SRL strategies
• Learning design frameworks for digital classrooms
• Teacher agency in educational technology adoption
• Inclusive STEAM education

Key Projects:

• FCLab.fi - Future Classroom Lab (2018–2025)
• TOTY Research Group

Her recent work emphasizes contextualized analyses of LA data through mixed methods, combining log data with classroom observations to understand how pedagogical designs influence SRL behaviors. She has contributed to studies on teachers' perceptions of learning analytics and the role of dashboards in guiding pedagogical decisions.
