How does university teachers’ pedagogical training meet topical challenges raised by educational research? A case study from Finland
2023
Through a literature review, this study identified research themes related to university pedagogy and examined how these themes appear in the curricula of university pedagogy courses and in the experiences of the participants and trainers of these courses at a Finnish research university. The literature review produced a multidimensional model of the relationships between identified themes, which can be used as an analytical tool for examining pedagogical training. Analysis of the courses revealed a need to broaden the understanding of the course contents and practices and their alignment to global, societal, and labour-market needs. peerReviewed

Compromiso Estudiantil en el Contexto Universitario Colombiano y Desempeño Académico
2014
20 páginas A pesar de la ampliación de la cobertura en la educación superior latinoamericana, persisten graves problemas de deserción que llevan a cuestionar el papel de las experiencias educativas en el fomento del compromiso académico de los estudiantes. Esta investigación se realizó en Colombia y buscó determinar la relación que existe entre el compromiso estudiantil y el desempeño académico de un grupo de universitarios colombianos. El estudio transversal y correlacional empleó la versión en español de la encuesta National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) que mide el nivel de participación de los estudiantes en cinco dimensiones: reto académico, aprendizaje activo y colaborativo, int…
The Advent of Open Source Democracy and Wikipolitics: Challenges, Threats and Opportunities for Democratic Discourse
2011
It has been claimed that the Web 2.0, the open source movement, and the emerging mode of peer production have inaugurated a new era of debate about openness, participation, and cooperation as bedrocks for rebuilding the civilizations of the modern world. By way of introducing the concept of wikipolitics, this paper examines whether, and if so how, politics and democracies can benefit from this emerging participatory spirit and modern ICTs, and to document possible dangers of such a shift in the democratic process. peerReviewed
Eight Hypotheses on Technology Use and Psychosocial Wellbeing: A Bicultural Phenomenological Study of Gaming during the COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
AbstractIn this nonconfirmatory qualitative study, we pursued a range of hypotheses regarding how gaming operates in the lives and psychosocial wellbeing of those who actively play videogames during a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Informed by an explorative survey (N = 793), interpretive phenomenological analysis was applied to interview data from actively gaming Chinese (n = 10) and Finnish (n = 10) participants. Our findings demonstrate how the general increase of pandemic-time gaming did not manifest in all player groups, but in some life contexts gaming activity rather decreased along with reformations in subjective meaning hierarchies and values. Ultimately, eight subo…

Iedzīvotāju novecošanās un tās ietekme uz pensiju sistēmas ilgtspēju Latvijā un Igaunijā.
2016
Maģistra darba tēma ir „Iedzīvotāju novecošanās un tās ietekme uz pensiju sistēmas ilgtspēju Latvijā un Igaunijā” un tā mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā iedzīvotāju novecošanās ietekmē pensiju sistēmas ilgtspēju. Pētījumam izvirzīti šādi uzdevumi: demogrāfisko procesu un pensiju sistēmas teorijas izpēte, Latvijas un Igaunijas demogrāfisko norišu attīstību un abu valstu pensiju sistēmu salīdzinājums, jomas ekspertu intervēšana, lai uzzinātu aktualitātes un problēmas demogrāfisko procesu un pensiju jautājumos. Pētījuma rezultātā konstatēts, ka iedzīvotāju novecošanās nav lielākais drauds pensiju sistēmas ilgtspējai ne Latvijā, ne Igaunijā.
Following the money? : Performance based funding and the changing publication patterns of Finnish academics
2020
Research on how performance-based funding influences the behaviour and performance of academics is limited in Europe. In this study, we investigate the changing publication patterns among Finnish academics associated with the introduction of awarding funding for publications within specific journals in the national performance-based funding model. We find evidence, particularly in the social sciences, and to a lesser extent humanities, that Finnish academics increasingly target international (English-language) publication outlets and lower-tiered journals. We conclude discussing the possible long-term implications of the current funding formula for both Finnish academia and society. peerRev…
The Educational Implications of the Atomistic Family Structure : How the Atomization of the Family Undermines the Education of Critical Citizens by M…
2017
This article uses historical and sociological research as the basis for a philosophically argued thesis about the negative educational consequences of the atomization of the family structure. Carle Zimmerman’s theory of the social causality involved in the atomistic family structure is illustrated with an example of a Bolshevik social experiment and applied to the atomization of the modern Western family as shown by contemporary social science research. The focus is on the ways that the atomization of the family undermines the education of children into autonomous and critical citizens. Once the normative structures of marriage and family disintegrate, the identity and relationship rights o…
The Pandemic and Its Shadow. Feminist Theoretical and Art Discourses on Trauma and Community in COVID-19
2022
This article explores the philosophical and psychoanalytic trajectories of conceptualizing the Covid-19 pandemic as ‘collective trauma’, and considers what would be the risks, but also productive possibilities, of such a theoretical move. the context of this inquiry is the so-called ‘shadow pandemic’ – the drastic increase in domestic violence globally, which accompanied introduction of lockdowns as a measure of containing the impact of Covid-19 on public health infrastructures. For the women who were victims of violence during the lockdowns, the discourse of ‘sheltering’, ‘isolation’ and ‘staying home’ has carried antithetical meanings to the o6cially sanctioned ones – those were meanings …
