Lessons from research on project-based learning in higher education: A review of the literature and a comparative analysis in the context of higher education and adult education

Using detailed, empirical examples and a systematic review of the literature, Shorttitle, explores a field that, to date, has not been subject to thorough, empirical research. Shorttitle aims to provide a timely contribution answering such fundamental questions as what exactly is meant by project-based learning (in the context of higher education), how it has been implemented - and with what possible impact, and how a current topic of learning research, the interplay between teacher-regulation and student regulation of learning, can manifest itself.

Dr. Helle defended her dissertation at the University of Turku in 2007. Her main professional interests lie in the study of learning in higher education and beyond (i.e. other professionally relevant contexts). The Academy of Finland recently awarded her a prestigious, 3-year post-doctoral fellowship.
