From everyman's right to everyman's possibility
2016
This article describes a blended learning study module that was carried out in class teachers’ adult education. The goal of the planning of this module was to create a learning environment that would give a student an optimal learning experience in versatile, authentic, e-learning environments. In the study, the ubiquitous learning model was based on the principles of transformational pedagogy (OED). The module was carried out in flexible and versatile learning environments based on transformational pedagogy, where knowledge also included command of the 21st century teaching skills 21. The theoretical framework of the study module followed the model of contextual-pedagogical model [18]. The…
What makes the difference : PIAAC as a resource for understanding the problem-solving skills of Europe's higher-education adults
2019
The ever-evolving technological landscape is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. The central goal of higher education (HE) is to guarantee a high level of know-how, which is in line with the changing demands of technology at work and in everyday life. This study builds on European data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to understand adults' (N = 53,407) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The study provides insight into the socio-demographic, work-related, and everyday factors that are associated with a strong and a weak problem-solving performance. The results indicate that HE adults stand out from adults with…

Digital media in blended coaching : interaction and distance presence in adult education
2011
In this study were studied the dimensions and advantages of the digital media in the adult education and distance presence. The point of view and limiting of the study was coaching and the significance of face-to-face interaction in it. The study was partly based on my three earlier reports about the digital media in the direction of teaching training. Main question of the three reports was would the digital media supply some new dimensions and benefits for teaching training guidance? It was seen, in the reports, as the biggest disadvantage that the distance presence is not a genuine situation because there is lack of (quick) interactivity. The need for a flexible two-way communication chan…
Teacher students’ meaningful learning in widening learning worlds
2019
This qualitative metasynthesis investigated students’ meaningful learning experiences amid andragogical teacher education programmes. The programmes catered to the specific learning needs of adult students in the context of university-based teacher education. This study aimed to provide a wider picture of the frames of students’ meaningful learning in andragogical teacher education programmes. The findings revealed three major learning worlds of adult students’ meaningful learning, which formed a common system widening from the professional awakening to the transformative community and agency in society. Based on the findings, this study argues that in andragogical teacher education, which …
Hyvää verkko-opetusta etsimässä: oppimista edistävät ja estävät tekijät verkko-oppimisympäristöissä – opiskelijoiden kokemuksen ja opettajien arviot
2003
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää opiskelijoiden ja opettajien käsityksiä hyvästä verkko-opetuksesta ja -opiskelusta. Tutkimuksessa keskityttiin erityisesti verkko- opettajan roolin ja tehtävien tarkasteluun. Verkko-opetusta tutkittiin osana opetus-opiskelu-oppiminen prosessia (Uljens 1997, Kansanen 1999). Hyvän verkko-opettajan ominaisuuksia etsittiin tehokkaan opettajan kriteerien (Tirri 1993), opettajan pedagogisen ajattelun ja verkko-opettajatutkimuksien lähtökohdista käsin. Mielekäs oppiminen määriteltiin Jonassenin (1995) esittämien kriteerien lähtökohdista. Tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto koostui vuosina 1995-1999 Helsingin yliopiston virtuaalisen avoimen yliopiston (HEVI) ja A…
Jokamiehen oikeudesta jokamiehen mahdollisuudeksi
2016
Uudenlaisten pedagogisten mallien pohjalle suunnitellut opintokokonaisuudet lisäävät yliopistojen opintotarjonnan saavutettavuutta ja antavat yksilöille paremmat mahdollisuudet elinikäiseen oppimiseen. Luokanopettajien aikuiskoulutuksessa on käynnissä laaja oppimisympäristöjen kehittymistyö, jossa e-oppimisella on näkyvä sija. Aikuisopiskelijoiden elämäntilanne luo haasteita täysipäiväiselle läsnäololle ja siitä noussut tarve on nähty Luokanopettajien aikuiskoulutuksessa myös mahdollisuutena laajentaa henkilökunnan pedagogista osaamista uudistavien e-oppimiskäytänteiden ja pedagogisten mallien suunnittelijoina, kehittäjinä ja toteuttajina. Luokanopettajien aikuiskoulutuksen 25-vuotinen taiv…

Endotyping allergic rhinitis in children: A machine learning approach.
2021
Introduction: The diversity of allergic rhinitis (AR) phenotypes is particularly evident in childhood, suggesting the need to analyze and identify new approaches to capture such clinical heterogeneity. Nasal cytology (NC) is a very useful diagnostic tool for identifying and quantifying nasal inflammation. Data-driven approaches such as latent class analysis (LCA) assign subjects to classes based on their characteristics. We hypothesized that LCA based on NC, including the assessment of neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells, may be helpful for identifying AR endotypes in children. Methods: A total of 168 children were enrolled. Sociodemographic characteristics and detailed medical history…
Field-Specific Educational Practices as a Source for Students' Vocational Identity Formation
2008
Although work-related identity research has undergone considerable expansion in recent years, vocational identity among students remains a neglected area. However, initial vocational education plays a crucial role in the process of lifelong learning. Accordingly, this chapter discusses students' vocational identity formation during their vocational education and training. As recent findings on vocational or professional identity emphasise its context-based or sociocultural construction, [the authors] examined students' vocational identity formation in two different fields: one) technology and transport, and two) social services and health care. [The authors'] quantitative data indicate that…
