Teachers’ Identity Tensions and Related Coping Strategies : Interaction With the Career Stages and Socio-Political Context
2022
When external requirements conflict with teachers’ personal beliefs and values, the resulting internal struggles can lead to identity tensions. Contributing to discussion on teachers’ identity development in a challenging context, this study investigated teacher identity tensions and related coping strategies in Hong Kong. We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with qualified teachers and then performed a deductive thematic analysis of the data. We categorised the identity tensions as positioned on the micro or macro level, and distinguished the coping strategies as emotion-focused or problem-focused behaviours. The identity tensions and related coping strategies seemed to be associated…
It’s Not Only What You Say, But How You Say It : Investigating the Potential of Prosodic Analysis as a Method to Study Teacher’s Talk
2018
In this study, we introduce new insights into prosodic analyses as an emerging method to study what happens in classrooms interactions. We claim that the prosodic aspects (features of speech such as intonation, volume and pace) of talk are important, but under-represented in the learning sciences. These prosodic aspects may be used to complement, intensify or even reverse the linguistic content of speech. Thus far, most research on classrooms has focused on the content (what is said) rather than on understanding the meaning of the prosodic features (how it is said) of talk. In this study, we introduce prosodic analyses as a method to study classroom discussions. Our exploratory experiment f…

Contents and functions of dramatizations in team decision making
2017
This study examines the contents and functions of dramatizations in natural team decision making. Theoretically, the study employs symbolic convergence theory to understand decision making as a complex phenomenon constructed in symbolic communication. Observational meeting data and thematic interview data from an autonomous team in Finland were analyzed. A fantasy theme analysis and an inductive, rhetorical discourse analysis revealed three rhetorical visions and seven functions of dramatizations in the team’s decision making. Visions represented social, righteous, and pragmatic master analogues. The functions of dramatizations were legitimizing independent and current decisions, reinforci…
Emotions and Technoethics
2020
The relationship between emotions and ethics has been debated for centuries. The act of understanding emotions through the framework of ethics involves accepting that emotions are to some extent culturally dependent. By linking emotions in design to larger ethical discussions, it may be accepted that ethics and design are both technological constructions designed to shape a collective worldview. While both are cultural constructions, they are in constant dialogue with one another through social discourse and individualistic cognitive–affective appraisal processes. This chapter presents an account of technoethics that challenges ideas of ethical values embedded within technology, drawing att…
Educatio siglo XXI : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2018
El presente estudio describe la competencia digital en el tratamiento de contenidos de Ciencias Sociales de futuros maestros. Para ello se recurre al TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) y se analizan los resultados de un cuestionario sobre las concepciones al respecto de 153 estudiantes del Grado de Magisterio en Educación Primaria. Las conclusiones confirman un mayor autoconocimiento de contenidos pedagógicos o tecnológicos, frente a los disciplinares, lo que imposibilita, siguiendo la aplicación del modelo, el desarrollo de una competencia digital docente efectiva para el desarrollo de una didáctica crítica en Ciencias Sociales. The present study describes the use of digit…
Creating the Consumer girl : A Study of Consumerism in Seventeen Magazine
2010
Kriittisen diskurssianalyysin perusajatuksen mukaan kieli ei vain heijasta todellisuutta vaan myös rakentaa sitä. Kielenkäytöllä voidaan siis katsoa olevan valtaa ihmisten uskomusten, arvojen ja tietämyksen määrittelyssä. Samanlaista valtaa on myös medialla, jota feministinen mediatutkimus tutkii stereotyyppisiä ja normalisoivia sukupuolikäsityksiä rakentavana sukupuoliteknologiana . Usein median vallankäyttö tapahtuu juuri kielenkäytön kautta. Kun tietyt puhetavat eli diskurssit toistuvat mediassa tarpeeksi usein, muokkaavat ne myös yleisiä mielipiteitä. Hyvä esimerkki sukupuoliteknologiana toimivasta mediasta ovat naistenlehdet, jotka rakentavat rajattua ja usein kulutuskeskeistä kuvaa n…
The Use of Multimodal Resources by Technical Managers and Their Peers in Meetings Using English as the Business Lingua Franca
2020
Background: Engineers increasingly work and advance their careers in international business settings. As technical managers, they need management and technical skills when working with different stakeholders with whom they may not share a common first language. Studies have revealed that informal oral communication skills are of prime importance for global engineers who face challenges in building shared meaning and formulating clear messages in meetings with non-native speakers of English. This article proposes that studying the use of multimodal resources (spoken language, gaze, gestures, and objects) in meetings can unpack how work tasks are accomplished in business through different com…
