Pair interactions in online assessments of collaborative problem solving: case-based portraits
2018
This exploratory case study focuses on how pairs of students can build a shared understanding and acquire collaborative problem-solving (CPS) practices during an online assessment of CPS skills, which is seen in the context of the CPS construct, in a symmetrical and asymmetrical task type. Even though CPS is widely recognised as a core twenty-first-century competency, its nature is not yet well understood. Also, until recently, most of studies have focused on the individual’s solution to a problem or on the skills individuals bring into a problem-solving space. This study extends from an individual- to group-level focus in CPS, emphasising the role and quality of the social aspects in CPS p…
Great expectations: Learning the boundaries of design rights
2019
We present a case study of an increase in design right filings and concurrent design right litigations in an industry that previously had little experience of design right protection. The motives for and outcomes of filing, and how these changed over time are discussed. We go on to explore the events, which offered the decision makers opportunities to update their beliefs about the scope of design right protection. We find that filing motives changed from specific protection goals to freedom to operate over time. We also find that the actors faced several, but sometimes contradictory, learning opportunities. There are two types of learning relating to the usage of design rights: 1) learning…
Critical Exploration of Flexible Delivery
2020
This work-in-progress research article presents an introductory qualitative study on students' perceptions of a flexibly delivered, modular computer science course. Many contemporary approaches to education rely in various ways on flexible delivery of course content. This is often done to capitalize on modern technology and the web, and to put the student ‘in the center.' However, it is becoming manifest that these approaches may challenge both the students and the equity between them, making it important to understand the effects of flexible delivery in terms of the students. In the voice of our students, flexible delivery was seen as a largely positive approach, reducing stress, promoting…
Developing a Method for Measuring Science and Technology Oriented Creativity (STOC)
2021
Abstract The article contains the results of a research within the STIMEY (Science, Technology, Innovation, Mathematics, Engineering for the Young) project funded by the European Union’s Horizon-2020 research and innovation program (2016-2021). In the project, a hybrid learning environment (LE) was developed for both on-site and online learning suitable for the learning conditions in the COVID-19 era and beyond. The purpose of the research segment presented in this paper was to develop an instrument for assessment of the learner’s progress in creativity as one of the key targets of STIMEY. COVID-19 has shown that creativity is also needed to allow education systems the flexibility for unexp…
Opetusteknologia koulun arjessa 2
2011
Tässä kirjassa esitellään tuloksia vuosina 2009–2011 toteutetusta kansallisesta Opetusteknologia koulun arjessa (OPTEK) - tutkimushankkeesta. Tutkimushanke on kirkastanut tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäytön haasteita 2010-luvun Suomessa ja osoittanut käytännöllisellä tavalla sen mahdollisuuksia opetuksessa, opiskelussa ja oppimisympäristöjen kehittämisessä. Lisäksi hanke on ollut suuntaamassa ja luomassa strategisia linjauksia Suomessa yhdessä liikenne- ja viestintäministeriön koordinoiman Tieto- ja viestintätekniikka koulun arjessa -hankkeen kanssa. OPTEK-hankkeessa on luotu käytännön ratkaisuja, toimintamalleja ja tuotteita tieto- ja viestintätekniikan ja median palveluiden hyödyntä…
Practical, Not Radical : Examining Innovative Learning Culture in a Public Service Media Organization
2022
Recent scholarship has argued for media organizations’ need to radically innovate to ensure their survival in the future. This study deploys the innovative learning culture (ILC) framework to qualitatively study innovation and learning in a legacy public service media organization. While innovation and learning are linked, the learning processes of professional journalists have received only little attention. Through an analysis of a development network operating in a public service media organization, we identify characteristics of ILC in the network and how those characteristics manifest in practice, as well as examine contextual factors that shape ILC. Our findings indicate that innovati…
Workplace Learning from the Organizational Point of View
2022
The focus of this chapter is on workplace learning from the organizational point of view. The chapter reviews multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research literature on learning organization starting from the seminal works by Argyris and Schön, and Senge, and continuing with the studies of the development of measuring characteristics of learning organization by Marsick and Watkins. The relationship between individual and organizational learning is discussed. Also concepts other than learning organization have been used in research studies in order to describe learning taking place in organizations. The concepts such as knowledge creation, expansive learning and innovative knowledge co…
Optimal Spectral Wavelengths for Discriminating Orchard Species Using Multivariate Statistical Techniques
2019
Sustainable management of orchard fields requires detailed information about the tree types, which is a main component of precision agriculture programs. To this end, hyperspectral imagery can play a major role in orchard tree species mapping. Efficient use of hyperspectral data in combination with field measurements requires the development of optimized band selection strategies to separate tree species. In this study, field spectroscopy (350 to 2500 nm) was performed through scanning 165 spectral leaf samples of dominant orchard tree species (almond, walnut, and grape) in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiyari province, Iran. Two multivariable methods were employed to identify the optimum wavelengths:…
Innovatiivisen koulun piirteet ja kehittämisen prosessit
2017
Tutkimuksessamme tarkastelemme kouluja, jotka ovat osoittaneet toiminnassaan innovatiivisuutta ja kehittämisorientaatiota. Suomessa kouluja ei suoranaisesti palkita tai rankkeerata esimerkiksi innovatiivisuudesta, mutta osoituksena kehittämisorientaatiostaan koulut voivat saada erilaisia tunnustuksia tai huomionosoituksia hyvistä käytänteistä, kokeiluista tai pedagogisista ratkaisuistaan. Tutkimuksemme tavoitteena on tarkastella innovatiivisina pidettyjen koulujen piirteitä ja sitä, kuinka ne itse kokevat oman innovatiivisuutensa. Toinen keskeinen tarkoitus on kartoittaa, minkälaista kehittämistyötä näissä kouluissa tehdään. Näiden tavoitteiden kautta tarkoituksemme on syventää ymmärrystä s…
