Lähijohtaminen kestävän oppimisen edistäjänä työelämässä (JoKo): Tutkimushankkeen loppuraportti
2023
Luet Työsuojelurahaston rahoittaman JoKo-hankkeen (Lähijohtaminen kestävän oppimisen edistäjänä työelämässä) loppuraporttia. Tuomme tässä raportissa esille havaintojamme hankkeen aikana kerätyn haastatteluaineiston annista ja toteutetun ryhmävalmennuksen kokemuksista ja luomme niiden pohjalta syvempää ymmärrystä oppimisen kestävyydestä työssä. Suomalaisessa työelämässä painotetaan osaamisen ja jatkuvan oppimisen merkitystä erityisesti asiantuntijatyössä, mutta ymmärrystä oppimisen kestävyydestä meillä on vielä hyvin vähän. Tutkimusta hyvinvointia lisäävän eli kestävän oppimisen tukemisesta ja johtamisesta meillä on vielä vähemmän. Tällainen ymmärrys on kuitenkin ensiarvoisen tärkeää huomioi…
Fostering learning opportunities through employee participation amid organizational change
2014
Health care organizations are facing rapid changes, frequently involving modification of existing procedures. The case study reported here examined change processes and learning in a health care organization. The organizational change in question occurred in the emergency clinic of a Finnish central hospital where a new action model for shift-specific nursing supervision was being introduced. The aim of this study was to investigate some of the employee participation and learning opportunities amid this organizational change. The data collection was ethnographically informed, and the data consisted of audio-recorded and observed meetings, observations of the new action model, and field inte…
A firm’s organizational innovation and organizational learning abilities
2019
Many recent studies are dedicated to the problem of innovation as a mean of improving a firm’s overall performance. Various kinds of innovation in a firm usually are closely interrelated with each other. While the majority of studies focus on technological - product and process - innovation, the investigation of non-technological - marketing and organizational - innovation (ORI), has increasingly attracted the interest of researchers during the last decade. Organizational culture and organizational learning are important drivers of such innovation. For instance, a collaborative culture, trust and open-mindedness encourage new initiatives and ideas, while learning helps not just to improve s…
Organizational innovation for SME'S: a model for Latvia
2020
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can be a significant source of innovation in small economies. SMEs face challenges of limited capacity, personnel and resources for long-term investments. Additionally, they might not see and understand the benefits of innovation. Implementation of organizational innovation (OI) could give such enterprises an opportunity to improve competitiveness and develop other types of innovation. The purpose of this study is to develop a model, explaining OI through such factors as organizational culture (OC) and knowledge management (KM) in SMEs via an empirical study across various industries. Surveying 600 SMEs in Latvia, the authors explore the contributio…
Practices and Infrastructures for Machine Learning Systems : An Interview Study in Finnish Organizations
2022
Using interviews, we investigated the practices and toolchains for machine learning (ML)-enabled systems from 16 organizations across various domains in Finland. We observed some well-established artificial intelligence engineering approaches, but practices and tools are still needed for the testing and monitoring of ML-enabled systems. Peer reviewed
Organizing for collaboration in simulation-based environments : an affordance perspective
2023
Extant research has identified the significance of technological affordances in computer-supported learning environments. However, until recently, there is scarcely empirical research on affordances for organizing collaboration in these learning environments. To address this gap, this study empirically examines affordances for organizing collaboration in a simulation-based learning environment. We focus, in particular on understanding how the organizing affordances of the learning environment are perceived and employed by the learners during a simulation-based learning task. The study was executed among 177 undergraduate higher education (HE) business students from 10 universities in Belgiu…
“At least we have something to discuss over lunch…” The implications for knowledge management when implementing a new library system. A Norwegian exp…
2017
This article investigates how staff and management in Norwegian academic libraries have experienced the implementation of the new library management system Alma. As a new library management system is introduced, the need for learning on demand emerges. An anonymous survey was sent to all academic libraries in Norway, resulting in a total of 626 responses. This article presents the findings from this survey and provides some reflections on how a firm grip on knowledge management could have helped make such a transition easier.
Il Problem Based Learnig (PBL) come strumento di orientamento nella scuola secondaria di primo grado
2022
La scuola costituisce indubbiamente un luogo privilegiato di inserimento sociale, di partecipazione e di confronto e allo stesso tempo per imparare ad orientarsi e in cui gli alunni vengono incoraggiati attivamente al ragionamento e alla risoluzione dei problemi ricavando e attingendo in modo autonomo a tutte le fonti informative necessarie a tale scopo. L’ipotesi di ricerca da cui lo studio parte è che la metodologia didattica dell’apprendimento per problemi (PBL) sia efficace nello sviluppo di competenze strategiche (problem-solving, decision-making) e, pertanto, possa essere applicata nelle attività di orientamento. L’attività di Problem-Based Learning è stata proposta a 98 docenti di s…
Didattica orientativa e nuove tecnologie nella scuola

The analysis of teaching practices at school and at university.
2011
It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…
