METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IN ADULT LEARNING RESEARCH. COMBINING PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES IN SIMULATION-BASED LEARNING ENVIRONME…
2020
We aim to clarify whether physiological measurement technologies can be used in combination with traditional educational research methods to investigate learning experience. We developed an interdisciplinary research design for multilevel investigation of adult learning experience. We collected data in aviation simulations and forestry simulations, to show both similarities and differences between different learning situations. Both settings utilize high quality virtual simulations allowing learning to occur in near authentic situations. The learning situations were structured pedagogically in a similar way. They involve learner-instructor interaction in a one-on-one setting and follow a tr…
Within-students variability in learning experiences, and teachers' perceptions of students' task-focus
2016
In order to advance our understanding of educational processes, we present a tutorial of intraindividual variability. An adaptive educational process is characterised by stable (less variability), and a maladaptive process is characterised by instable (more variability) learning experiences from one learning situation to the next. We outline step by step how we specify a multilevel structural equation model of state, trait and individual differences in intraindividual variability constructs, which can be appropriately fitted to intraindividual data (e.g., time-points nested in persons, intensive longitudinal data). In total 285 primary school students’ (Years 5 and 6) completed the Learning…
Towards the Learning Experience Technology Usability framework
2017
The availability of learning technology has increased over past decades; however, severe usability issues that cause adverse effects on the learning experience can be found in many available technologies. Learning solution usability is commonly evaluated by focusing on either technical or pedagogical usability and rarely both. This artificially separates the two important aspects of learning technology usability. This chapter provides a new framework for designing and evaluating learning solutions that synthesizes the above usability types to consider them a part of a complex and dynamic whole comprising of learning, technological design, content-related issues and context. The proposed Lea…
Novel and experimental music technology use in the music classroom : learning performance, experience, and concentrated behavior
2021
In recent years, music technology in the classroom has relied on general devices such as the iPad. In the current study, we used a mixed-methods approach to examine the learning performance, learning experience, and behavior of two class groups of primary school music students (N = 42), using established music technology (i.e., the iPad with the Keyboard Touch Instrument app) and novel music technology (KAiKU Music Glove). Results show a significant difference of change in test scores during learning (p = <.01) and a medium effect-size is found (d = .75), indicating use of the iPad and Keyboard Touch Instrument app contributed to increased learning when compared to the KAiKU Music Glove.…
Formazione Service e-Learning: esperienza media-educativa
2023
The use of technology is an interesting device, which constitutes a useful self-training approach, related to an experience, from which to extract significant materials and traces of their personal learning. In Italy, Service Learning (SL) projects that use digital media in the university environment are still rare and therefore there are not many data and research results related to the introduction of SL in the training of future teachers. On the contrary, at the international level we find a vast scientific literature on SL and its applications, also in the academic field. Service e-Learning (Se-L) can in fact represent an essential approach for university education, which allows student…
A learning experience like no other : The significance of student exchange for language students at the University of Jyväskylä
2010
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mikä merkitys opiskelijavaihdolla on Jyväskylän yliopiston kielten opiskelijoille. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että vaihto-opiskelun aikana saadut oppimiskokemukset ovat opiskelijoille hyvin monipuolisia, ja niillä on niin henkilökohtaisia kuin ammatillisiakin vaikutuksia. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat keskittyneet yleisesti yliopisto- tai korkeakouluopiskelijoihin, mutta tarkkaa katsausta opiskelijavaihdon hyödyistä kielten opiskelijoille ei ole tehty. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa Jyväskylän yliopiston kielten opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä vaihto-opiskelusta ja kansainvälistymisestä, odotuksista ennen vaihtoa ja vaihdossa s…
Meaningful Learning Experiences in the Finnish Teacher Education
2017
During the last few years the change of the school and how the school should change in the first place to meet the challenges of the future have been discussed a great deal. The talk has begun of the cross-disciplinary competences, referred to also as transversal (generic) competences in the curriculum, and of developing teaching towards the integrated modules called multidisciplinary learning modules in the reformed curriculum of the basic education. The multidisciplinary learning modules promote the reaching of the objectives set for the basic education and in particular, the development of the cross-disciplinary competences.This research was carried out in a Finnish class teachers' adult…
Self-Efficacy and Study Burnout Among IT Students : Challenges and Potentials
2022
There is a risk of student dropout in the field of engineering, particularly in the domain of information technology. To find novel pedagogical and technological solutions to prevent student attrition, we must better understand student experiences regarding their learning and studying processes. This study was conducted within the introduction of a new engineering degree program at the University of Jyväskylä and focused on first-year students. The research questions are: How do IT students experience study burnout at the beginning of their studies? What kind of self-efficacy beliefs do IT students have at the beginning of their studies? How are the self-efficacy beliefs of IT students asso…
Experience of medical students mentoring in an acute geriatric unit: Use of evidence-based medicine
2019
International audience; n a retrospective study, we studied the learning experience of second and third year undergraduate medical students in the acute geriatric unit of a University Hospital.Students who did not receive Evidence based medicine (EBM) classes had lower grades than those who did in the final theoretical and practical evaluations (p < .01).Our experience suggested that the implementation of EBM in the curriculum through small, structured semiology courses tailored to the specificities of the elderly improved Evidence based practices for undergraduate medical students. EBM should improve instruction and mentoring during undergraduate students' clinical rotation.
Perceptions of university students about their education in physics in secondary education
2018
Este artículo presenta los resultados de un cuestionario diagnóstico sobre las percepciones hacia la física, por parte de 104 estudiantes, quienes inician su carrera profesional de Licenciatura en Ciencias Naturales y Educación Ambiental, en una universidad colombiana. Este estudio, se centró en las siguientes categorías: experiencias sobre el aprendizaje de la física, metodología del profesor en la clase de física, dificultades de los estudiantes para aprender física y sugerencias para mejorar su enseñanza. Los resultados reflejan la importancia de explorar y generar estrategias, que permitan optimizar las cuatro dimensiones; por ejemplo, en relación al aprendizaje de la física, los partic…
