The technology of the future will bring a new, world-wide, interactive but virtual social experience to our parlors and desktops in place of face-to-face relationships. Governments will stand or fall on the basis of electronically mediated communication with masses of people. Adventures in this new open large group context in the outer world, and the maturation of our inner selves may mirror as well as contribute to each other. Small group experience and group therapy, in particular, may play a vital role.
Reading the Web—Students' Perceptions about the Internet
2006
This study explores the perceptions of Finnish 15‐year‐olds on the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. The data, students' written responses (N = 3112), were gathered in the context of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in the spring of 2000 as a national option. The data were analysed by close reading and using the Atlas.ti application for coding. Students regard easy access to a variety of current information as the most important advantage of the Internet.

Health on the net: the doctor answers
2012
The global net system has certainly played an important role in the increase and the following modification of communication dynamics. The term 'online community' has become increasingly popular and refers to a group of people in the online forums who share opinions and information as well as strong feelings of camaraderie, empathy and support (Preece 2005). Message boards have become the easiest way of asking for any information, and anyone can register to participate in an online discussion. The exchange of detailed knowledge, ideas or questions satisfies the users in most discourse domains because such exchange is fast, easy, and free. However, in particular situations such as doctor-pat…

Yliopisto-opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä etäopetuksen pienryhmätilanteista
2023
Koronapandemian myötä ryhmäkeskustelut tulivat osaksi opiskelijoiden etäopiskelun arkea. Opiskelijoiden asennoitumista sekä ryhmätyöhön että teknologiavälitteiseen vuorovaikutukseen on tutkittu, mutta tutkimusta etäopiskeluaikaisista ryhmäkeskusteluista ja niiden herättämistä tunteista ja asenteista ei vielä juuri ole. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, millaisena yliopisto-opiskelijat kokevat etäopiskelun reaaliaikaiset ryhmätilanteet ja millaisia asenteita ja tunteita ne heissä herättävät. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin verkkolomakkeella, jossa oli avoimia kysymyksiä. Kyselyyn vastasi keväällä 2021 yhteensä 59 opiskelijaa kolmesta suomalaisesta yliopistosta. Aineisto analysoitiin laadullisella …

Identity construction in a pwnage video on YouTube
2012
Internet on viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana synnyttänyt lukemattomia uusia genrejä, joista huomattava osa pohjautuu vanhoihin, jo olemassaolleisiin genreihin. Toimintatavat, tarkoitukset ja saavutukset näissä genreissä ovat vielä melko tuntemattomia tutkimuskohteita kielitieteessä. Tässä tutkimuksessa toissijaisena tavoitteena oli selvittää uuden YouTube-genren, josta tässä käytän nimitystä argument pwnage, tyypillisiä piirteitä. Ensisijainen tavoite oli yhtä kyseiseen genreen kuuluvaa videota analysoiden tutkia, miten videon tekijän sosiaalinen identiteetti rakentuu pwnage-toiminnassa. Pwnage käsittää tässä yhteydessä vastustajan voittamista ideologisessa, yksipuolisessa väittelyssä, joka e…
The impact of remote work and mediated communication frequency on isolation and psychological distress
2022
A massive shift towards remote work practices has presented many organizations and employees with acute challenges associated with multi-locational work. This shift underscores the need to reconsider isolation as one of the focal challenges of organizations in an era of increasingly dispersed and mediated work practices. This study relies on a three-wave survey among Finnish workers to investigate how remote work practices and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) have impacted perceptions of isolation during the global health pandemic, and whether these relationships have an effect on psychological distress. The findings indicate that facilitating the use of ICTs may he…
Lessons learned on student engagement from the nature of pervasive socio‐digital interests and related network participation of adolescents
2021
The rise of modern socio-digital technologies has fundamentally changed the everyday environments in which young people communicate with each other and cultivate interests. To gain a more sophisticated understanding of this phenomenon, this study provides in-depth, qualitative insights into adolescents’ experiences of their socio-digital developmental ecologies. The 15 interview participants were recruited based on a previously conducted questionnaire. The semi-structured theme interview addressed the socio-digital aspects of the participants’ interest-driven behaviours and related networks with the aid of participant-generated egocentric maps. The data not only qualitatively enrich the pic…
