Introduction
I defended my educational psychological thesis in University of Oulu at December 2023. My main interest is counseling in general upper secondary school. I draw my concepts and methodology from the psychology from the standpoint of the subject, based on critical psychology. Theoretically, I'm interested in applying these concepts in counselling. I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher concentrating on teachers' part in counseling based on the whole school approach.

Suomessa toisen asteen koulutuksen keskeyttämistä on tutkittu kuitenkin lähinnä ammatillisen koulutuksen tai eri tavalla marginaaliin asetettujen opiskelijoiden näkökulmista, ei juurikaan suhteessa ohjaukseen. Tässä artikkeliväitöskirjassani tutkin lukion keskeyttämistä mahdollis...
