Heli’s main research interest is in classroom interactions, especially in educational classroom dialogue. Methodologically Heli is specialized in qualitative and mixed-methods research and she is interested to look at new mixed research methods to capture both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of effective classroom interactions. As working in the Teachers’ Stress Study (TESS) she is also interested in teachers’ gaze behavior and its relation to the quality of teacher-child interactions and teacher stress.
