Finnish teachers as civic educators : From vision to action
2020
In this article, we examine Finnish class teachers as citizenship educators. Over the last ten years, the autonomous position of the Finnish teacher has become a symbol of the world-famous education system, and this study aims to illustrate how this freedom comes true in the framework of teacher as a citizenship educator. A prior study shows that teachers mostly share the same universal values, emphasizing altruism rather than individualism. Socially, teachers are more focused on maintaining the status quo and continuity of society than changing it radically. This article aims to answer the question how teachers define their role between society and individual learners and how they prioriti…
The blog as a communication tool : an analysis of Finnish museums' blogs
2016
Bloggaaminen on ollut tasaisesti nousussa oleva trendi sosiaalisessa mediassa 1990-luvun lopulta alkaen. Sosiaalisesta mediasta löytyy monenlaisia blogeja eri aiheista ja eri aloilta. Uusi järjestöjen blogilaji ilmestyi 2000-luvun alussa, nimittäin museoblogi. Museoiden läsnäolo sosiaalisessa mediassa on kasvanut merkittävästi viime vuosikymmeninä, ja samalla museot muuttuivat enemmän yleisösuuntautuneiksi ja avoimiksi uusille viestintämahdollisuuksille. Bloggaaminen on uusi tapa lisätä museoiden läsnäoloa sosiaalisessa mediassa, kommunikoida ja olla vuorovaikutuksessa kävijöiden kanssa sekä markkinoida palvelujaan. Tämä tutkimus analysoi neljäkymmentäkuusi suomalaista museoblogia korostama…

La description du conditionnel français dans quatre grammaires finlandaises
2016
The present study aimed to explore whether the French grammar books produced in Finland between 1990 and 2015 show signs of contextualization in their description of the French conditional form. The research plan for the present study was inspired by the one used by the research program GRAC (Grammaire et contextualisation) that aims to discover the varieties of descriptions of the French grammar in different countries. Contextualization is understood as differences in relation to the standard French description of the French lan-guage. The grammar books studied in the present study are all in Finnish and are used by Finnish students learning French. Therefore it is expected that the common…

Variation and variability in L2 learning trajectories : Learning the Finnish existential construction
2022
Taking an onomasiological approach and a dynamic usage-based perspective, this study explores how four beginning L2 learners of Finnish develop in expressing existentiality (‘there is something somewhere’) before and after instruction. Data were collected weekly over a period of nine months and examined for conventionalized and non-conventionalized constructions that express existentiality. As expected from a dynamic usage-based perspective, both inter-individual variation and intra-individual variability were identified. The initial repertoires of two of the learners were quite variable, as they used several different non-conventionalized constructions before settling on more conventionali…

2017
Artikkelissa tutkitaan suomalaisen maiseman ja identiteetin kuvauksia suomenkielisessä rocklyriikassa vuosina 1980–1999. Aineisto muodostuu kahdestakymmenestä laulusta yhdeltätoista eri artistilta ja yhtyeeltä. Tutkimusmetodina käytetään temaattista sisällönanalyysiä. Kappaleiden ja niiden lyriikoiden tutkimus tuo lisätietoa Suomi-kuvan tutkimukseen ja nostaa esiin suomalaisen rockmusiikin äänen, joka on mukana ihmisten arjessa. Suomalainen rockmusiikki on osa suomalaista populaarikulttuuria ja kulttuurihistoriaa. Sillä on kyky uusintaa ja representoida Suomea ja suomalaisuutta. Aineiston kappaleiden maisema muodostuu pääkaupungin, pikkukaupunkien, luonnon ja maaseudun ympäristöistä. Kappal…
