Why you're still more likely to dislike math even if you have high grades in it..

Hi, I’m Kezia Olive
An Educational Psychology Researcher at Mind’s Hub research group in University of Helsinki and Department of Psychology of University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
I believe everyone deserves a chance in education and in science.
That’s why my research is mainly about students’ motivational development, identifying key factors, like gender and teacher support, that may inhibit or promote students’ learning motivation.
This is also why I care a lot about promoting accessible teaching and open-science.

I work mostly with quantitative data, but eager for discussions related to improving how to gain insights from Educational data.
