My research interests are in the thematic field of governing and developing of the education system. I have concentrated my work especially on how responsibility is managed and how to ensure quality of the educational offerings that is given to the students. In connection with this, I have studied teachers' competence development both in teacher education and the profession, assessment at all levels, and how the school system meets a diverse group of students. Theoretically, most of the work is based on pedagogy, sociology of education and professional theory.
