Identifying objectives for a learning space management system with value-focused thinking

2017

A classroom with a blackboard and some rows of desks is obsolete in special education. Depending on the needs, some students may need more tactile and inspiring surroundings with various pedagogical accessories while others benefit from a simplified environment without unnecessary stimuli. This understanding is applied to a new Finnish special education school building with open and adaptable learning spaces. We have joined the initiative creation process by developing software support for these new spaces in the form of a learning space management system. Participatory design and value-focused thinking were implemented to elicit the actual values of all the stakeholders involved and transf…

Humanistisen ammattikorkeakoulun opiskelijoiden kokemuksia henkilökohtaisesta opintojen ohjauksesta

2009

Tutkimuksessa kuvataan Humanistisen ammattikorkeakoulun opiskelijoiden ko-kemuksia henkilökohtaisesta opintojen ohjauksesta. Aineisto koostuu 23:n syksyllä 2003 aloittaneen opiskelijan kirjoitelmista, joissa käsiteltiin opiskeluaikaisia hopsauskokemuksia. Tutkimuksen lähestymistapa on fenomenologinen. Aineiston analyysi tehtiin Giorgin fenomenologisen psykologian viisivaiheisen analyysime-netelmän mukaan. Analyysin perusteella opiskelijat sijoittuivat kolmeen ryhmään sen mukaan, mikä oli kirjoittajan syy osallistua tutkimukseen. Ensimmäisen ryhmän hopsausko-kemukset olivat olleet merkittäviä, mutta eivät myönteisiä. Heidän hopsaava lehto-rinsa oli vaihtunut usein, henkilökemiat olivat toimi…

Quantification of Recruit Training Demands and Subjective Wellbeing during Basic Military Training

2022

Purpose: Assess and describe the physical demands and changes in subjective wellbeing of recruits completing the 12 week Australian Army Basic Military Training (BMT) course. Methods: Thirty-five recruits (24.8 ± 6.8 y; 177.4 ± 10.1 cm, 75.6 ± 14.7 kg) consented to daily activity monitoring and weekly measures of subjective wellbeing (Multi-component Training Distress Scale, MTDS). The physical demands of training were assessed via wrist worn activity monitors (Actigraph GT9X accelerometer). Physical fitness changes were assessed by push-ups, sit-ups and multi-stage shuttle run in weeks 2 and 8. Results: All objective and subjective measures significantly changed (p &lt…

Henkilöstökoulutuksen arviointi osallistujan näkökulmasta : case Akatemia-henkilöstökoulutusohjelma

2017

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastellaan henkilöstökoulutuksen arviointia osallistujan näkökulmasta. Tutkielman tavoitteena on avata henkilöstön kehittämisen ja henkilöstökoulutuksen aihekenttää sekä kartoittaa tekijät, joiden avulla osallistuja arvioi suorittamaansa henkilöstökoulutusta. Tutkimusongelmaa lähestytään kirjallisuuskatsauksen ja laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen keinoin. Tutkimustapauksena toimii eräässä IT-alan yrityksessä toteutettu Akatemia nimellä kulkeva henkilöstökoulutusohjelma, johon osallistuneiden arvioinnissa käyttämiä tekijöitä empiirisellä haastattelututkimuksella kartoitetaan. Tutkimuksen ohjaavana teoriana toimii Kirkpatrickin Neljän tason –koulutuksen arviointim…

Dimensions of Professional Growth in Work-Related Teacher Education

2017

This article conceptualises adult learners’ professional growth in a tailored, work-related, teacher-qualification programme in physical education. The study data consisted of the reflectivelearning diaries of 20 adult learners during a 2-year tertiary and work-related teacher-qualification programme. The data were analysed using data-driven open coding analysis, which was conducted using the constant comparative method of the grounded theory approach. This article presents the horizontal dimensions (egocentric learner, researching professional and expert within society) and the vertical dimensions (transforming self-image, expanding professional self-expression and widening agency) of the …

The dimensions of social dynamics in comparative studies on higher education

2013

This article discusses social dynamics of higher education which is one of the most crucial but neglected perspectives in comparative studies of higher education. We pay attention to the importance of time, space and contexts—both geographical and socio-cultural ones—to reveal how they influence on different social dynamics in various systems of higher education. The article focuses on the national higher education system level. Theoretically we approach higher education systems from a relational perspective paying attention to dynamics created by changing relationships between different actors in cultural, geographical and historical contexts. peerReviewed

Models for the development of generic skills in Finnish higher education

2016

This article examines how Finnish universities and other higher education institutes have responded to the challenges posed by rapid changes in the world of work and societies all over Europe, particularly with reference to the development of generic skills. The data were collected by means of individual and group interviews at three Finnish higher education institutes, including two universities and one university of applied sciences. The interviews involved 63 persons in charge of management, development and teaching at these institutes. As a result of the qualitative data analysis, we distinguished four models to represent the development of generic skills, which we named (1) Specialist …

Speechlessness, anxiety, and confusion in a teacher education student group

2017

The aim of the study was to explore the tensions, as experienced by student teachers, in a teacher education program that is based on psychodynamic theory. Previous research shows that students have had orientation problems in innovative university studies because it involves students having to take steps toward their discomfort zone. It was therefore considered important to study the mismatch or match of the training model and student experiences. The data were gathered through student interviews. The data analysis utilized a case study methodology and proceeded from thematic network analysis toward a deeper interpretation of the data. The analysis shows students struggle to understand the…
