On the motivations to enroll in doctoral studies in Computer Science — A comparison of PhD program models

2013

While student motivation has been intensively researched, only a few studies cover motivation at doctoral level and even less focus on doctoral education in Computer Science. In this paper we investigate the motivation of graduate students to pursue doctoral studies specifically in Computer Science. We interviewed 63 doctoral students, from two different doctoral models (traditional and structured) in Finland and Austria, on their initial reasons and experiences that led them to enroll in doctoral studies. We identified five disjoint main motivational drivers that relate with different aspects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Together with a measure of the strength of their initial mo…

Gender segregation in the employment of higher education graduates

2014

This article examines the employment and placement in the working life of Finnish higher education graduates (i.e. graduates from universities and polytechnics), focusing on gender equality. It reports a study on gender segregation in higher education and working life, considered in relation to Nordic gender equality policies. The data were gathered via a questionnaire administered to graduates in business and administration (n = 1067) and in technology (n = 1087), three years after their graduation. The results showed that men were able to secure permanent and full-time employment more often than women, and men achieved better correspondence between their degree and their employment. Howev…

Innoeduca : international journal of technology and educational innovation

2019

La influencia de la tecnología es una realidad innegable en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida, por ello es fundamental el desarrollo de la Competencia Digital en la formación de postgrado de los futuros profesionales de la educación. Mucho se ha escrito en los últimos años sobre la formación docente en el uso de las tecnologías, y del análisis de los resultados obtenidos en investigaciones previas se constatan limitaciones en la formación específica en TIC recibida en los grados de educación en general, así como la tendencia al desarrollo de esta competencia desde una perspectiva transversal. Bajo esas premisas, en estas líneas se pretende describir y analizar una experiencia de aula basada…

The educational paradigm shift—a phenomenographic study of medical teachers’ experiences of practices

2023

Abstract Background This paper proposes a novel approach to the development of competence-oriented higher education, a national transformation aimed at harmonising and digitising undergraduate medical and dental education in Finland. Methods We apply phenomenography as a viable qualitative method for medical education research. To better understand medical teachers’ expectations towards the change in the educational paradigm, we need to study teachers’ experiences of the current practices in undergraduate medical and dental education. The phenomenographic approach facilitates solid links between research, educational development, and change. Results The phenomenographic study maps the quali…

Cumulative inertia or cumulative stress? Migration behaviour of Finnish graduates

2009

An interesting yet largely unstudied question regarding labour migration behaviour and residence duration is whether migration becomes more or less likely over time. This paper analyses the determinants of residence duration for Finnish graduates. Our results affirm the importance of cumulative inertia as a determinant of migration. The longer a person stays in a region, the smaller are the hazard rates of migration. However, for those graduates who moved to a new region during their year of graduation, the propensity for repeat migration is particularly high during their first three years of residence. 

Korkeakoulutuksen eriytyvät työelämätulokset

2018

Tässä väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan korkeakoulutettujen tutkinnollaan saavuttamien työelämätulosten eriytymistä ja eriytymisen yhteyttä koulutusalaan sekä muihin tutkinnon suorittaneiden taustaan liittyviin tekijöihin. Näitä tekijöitä ovat sukupuoli, pohjakoulutus ja ikä. Lisäksi eriytymistä tarkastellaan työantajasektorin (julkinen/yksityinen) mukaan, joka on olennaisesti yhteydessä sekä koulutusalaan että sukupuoleen. Tutkimuksen teoreettisessa kehyksessä korkeakoulututkinto ymmärretään resurssina, joka valmistuneella on hyödynnettävissä työelämään sijoittumisessa, mutta jonka hyödynnettävyys eriytyy henkilöiden muiden ominaisuuksien mukaan. Resurssinäkökulma perustuu signaaliteoriaan, jon…
