Hothousing: Utilising industry collaborative problem-solving practices for STEAM in schools
2022
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been widely used in both industry and in schools over at least the last twenty years. The Industry Hothousing variant of CPS in its adult format is an intensive, time-constrained workshop based process designed to build mutual trust between customers and industry experts in order to synergically develop creative solutions together. Its potential use in schools raises two important questions: Firstly, what degree of structure and support is required to unleash student creativity and enhance learning - as in industry or does the student need more structured methods including explicitly being taught collaborative problem solving skills? Secondly, is CPS …
The Emotion Detectives Game: Supporting the Social-emotional Competence of Young Children
2017
The potential of digital games to enhance learning in different areas of child development has drawn increasing interest amid growing concern about children’s emotional well-being, social-emotional difficulties, and problem behaviors alongside diminishing economic resources for intervention and habilitation. However, digital games designed to promote social-emotional competence are surprisingly scarce. In this chapter, we explore children’s use of the digital game Emotion Detectives (ED), designed to promote children’s acquisition of emotional knowledge skills (e.g., recognizing, appreciating, and understanding emotions and their expressions), prosocial behaviors (e.g., helping, sharing, co…
Finnish in Toronto: Students and elderly immigrants in a community engaged service learning project
2019
Kuvaamme artikkelissamme yhteisössä toteutettavaa palveluoppimispedagogiikkaa (community engaged service learning pedagogy) Toronton yliopiston suomen kielen ohjelman ja Toronton Suomi-kodin eli suomenkielisen seniorikeskuksen välillä. Osana suomi vieraana kielenä -kurssia opiskelijat vierailevat säännöllisesti Suomi-kodissa, osallistuvat sen toimintaan ja viettävät aikaa suomenkielisten senioreiden parissa. Tutkimme sitä, mitä siirtolaissenioripari (Sirkka ja Pentti) ja kaksi nuorta suomen kielen opiskelijaa (Rosa ja Ilja) ajattelevat ja puhuvat kielestä ja sen oppimisesta erilaisissa kohtaamisissa. Lisäksi pohdimme sitä, millaisia siltoja yhteistyö muodostaa senioreiden ja nuorten väli…
Understanding Different Approaches to ECE Pedagogy through Tensions
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The concept of pedagogy is the key to understanding pedagogy in early childhood education (ECE) in the Nordic countries, which are known for their high quality of life and education. However, in ECE, there are several different approaches toward pedagogy and it can be said that pedagogy is a multidimensional and dynamic concept. In this paper, the different approaches to pedagogy are defined and reconceptualized through an integrative literature analysis focusing on scientific papers and research reports of the concept. Five approaches to pedagogy were constructed: pedagogy through interaction, pedagogy through s…
Experiencing ethical retail ideology in the servicescape
2020
Studies of the ideological underpinnings of retail stores have improved our understanding of consumers’ retail experiences in brand and national ideology contexts. In retailing, ideology is manifested in retail spatial settings through tangible and intangible cues in servicescapes. This study expands our knowledge on ethical retail ideology by exploring how servicescapes convey cues that shape consumption experiences and foster ethical consumption. Data from an ethnographic study highlight how consumption experiences in physical retail spaces embedding a particular ethical ideology can be thematised as aesthetics, nostalgia and care. We show that the material and discursive aspects in servi…

Making Sense of Business Ethics - About Not Walking the Talk
2006
By using a sensemaking perspective, this article argues that it is not relevant to fully expect firms to walk their talk in ethical matters. Accuracy between words and deeds is utopia in a post-modern world, with chaos and complexity. Integrating diverse ways of doing ethical business across global regions rather creates legitimacy, trust and a good image among firms in business networks. So what is the role of the ethics code? The article gives examples from a case study on Stora Enso, where the ethics code has a certain strategic meaning, but where the CEO also states that the firm has to do what it says, and say what it does. In short, the article discusses a new paradigm which influence…
