Attitudes towards English variations : Finnish high school students’ views on American English, British English and Australian English
2010
Englanti on maailman kieli, joka kuuluu jokapäiväiseen suomalaiseen katukuvaan ja englannin eri variaatioita esiintyy ympäri maailmaa. Ihmiset muodostavat omat käsityksensä ja asenteensa näitä variaatioita kohtaan henkilökohtaisten kokemustensa ja maailmankuvansa kautta. Aiemmissa tämän tieteenalan tutkimuksissa on keskitytty pääasiassa asenteisiin, joita suomalaisilla on eri kielistä yleisesti. Aiemmat tutkimukset ovat keskittyneet yksittäisten ihmisten välisiin mielipide-eroihin, eikä niinkään sukupuolten välisiin asenne-eroihin. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin sitä, millaisia erilaisia asenteita suomalaisilla lukion kolmasluokkalaisilla oppilailla on englannin kielen eri variaatioita k…

Students’ perspectives on English medium instruction within higher education. Exploring gender differences in Norway and Finland
2020
This study aims to explore gender differences in students’ perspectives on language use within higher education (HE), using data from a survey distributed to students at two universities in Norway and Finland. Analysing responses concerning language use in HE, I found that most students were positively inclined towards English medium instruction (EMI). However, while there in both countries were only small differences in attitudes towards EMI between male and female students, in Finland, female students were less confident in their English skills than male students were. Furthermore, female students in both countries reported more difficulties in coping with English in their day-to-day stud…
Actitudes hacia la autoridad y violencia entre adolescentes: diferencias en función del sexo
2015
ResumenLas conductas violentas en adolescentes constituyen una importante problemática social debido a sus graves consecuencias. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las diferencias entre chicos y chicas adolescentes en conductas violentas dirigidas hacia sus iguales, y en algunas variables explicativas de estas conductas como sus actitudes hacia la autoridad y las normas, la comunicación con sus padres y la calidad de la relación con sus profesores. Se analizó también en qué medida las relaciones entre estas variables son diferentes en función del sexo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 663 adolescentes (50.68% chicas, 49.32% chicos) entre 12 y 15 años (M=14.05 y DT=1.38). Los resul…
At the Roots of Product Placement: The Mere Exposure Effect
2013
The present study aims to analyze the effect of product placement on attitude change and takes into consideration psychological models of the mere exposure effect. A sample of high school students watched an excerpt from two widely-distributed movies in which several products were shown by using the technique known as product placement. The results indicate that students who saw the commercial brand liked the products more than those who didn’t see it. This effect, in line with the literature on the product placement effect, seems to be independent from the recognition of the brand in the movie excerpt. This study also shows that, in the high involvement condition, one exposure is enough to…
Universitäten zwischen Mehrsprachigkeit und „international English“ : Sprachideologien und Einstellungen des Personals finnischer Universitäten zu Me…
2023
In Finnland wird Mehrsprachigkeit traditionell geschätzt. Im Zeitalter von Globalisierung und Internationalisierung mit Englisch als Lingua franca muss man sich jedoch auch fragen, welchen Wert andere Sprachen als Englisch noch haben. Ziel vorliegender Studie war, die Einstellungen des Universitätspersonals in Finnland zum Gebrauch anderer Fremdsprachen als Englisch und speziell zum Deutschen zu untersuchen und Rückschlüsse auf verbreitete Sprachideologien zu ziehen. Als Untersuchungsmaterial dienten rund 2000 offene Kommentare auf eine Umfrage zur Rolle von Sprachen unter finnischem Universitätspersonal aus dem Jahr 2009. Diese Kommentare wurden inhaltsanalytisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse…
Compositional Homology and Creative Thinking
2015
The concept of homology is the most solid theoretical basis elaborated by the morphological thinking during its history. The enucleation of some general criteria for the interpretation of homology is today a fundamental tool for life sciences, and for restoring their own opening to the question of qualitative innovation that arose so powerfully in the original Darwinian project. The aim of this paper is to verify the possible uses of the concept of compositional homology in order to provide of an adequate understanding of the dynamics of creative thinking.
La innovación educativa desde la metodología: Mejora de las actitudes y competencias científicas de los alumnos (Educational innovation in research m…
2010
A programme of educational innovation was implemented to improve the attitude toward research methods for psychology students. Students used real data to test their own hypotheses using different statistical methods. Specifically, they implemented two key methodological principles in research methods: sample size and ordinal claims (Frick, 1996). Students had to work in teams, using Internet data bases for developing the theoretical background of the study, the definition of the objectives, the definition of variables, data analysis, and discussion of results. We assessed the attitudes towards research methods before and after the study. Results showed that: 1) the students improved their s…
