Vapaalaskuvälineiden ja -brändien eWOM-viestinnän motivaatiotekijät
2015
Viestintä erilaisissa online-kanavissa on nykypäivänä yleinen tapa olla vuoro-vaikutuksessa tuttujen, mutta myös tuntemattomien henkilöiden kanssa. Verkkovälitteinen suusanallinen viestintä, eWOM-viestintä on noussut digitaalisessa maailmassa tärkeäksi markkinointivälineeksi yrityksille. eWOM-viestintä ja online-suosittelu on osa jokapäiväistä vuorovaikutusta arvostelusivustoilla, so-siaalisissa verkkoyhteisöissä, blogeissa, sisällönjakosivustoilla sekä muissa sosi-aalisen median kanavissa. eWOM-viestintä on tärkeää kaikille organisaatioille, se viestittää yritykselle kuluttajien asenteista ja mielipiteistä tuotteita tai palve-luja kohtaan.

Kollektiiviset tavoitteet naisten palloilujoukkueissa kilpailukauden alussa
2015
Tavoitteiden on aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa todettu tehostavan urheilusuorituksia. Enemmistö tutkimuksista on tehty yksilölajeissa, mutta joukkueurheilussa ja varsinkin naisjoukkueissa asetettavista joukkueen yhteisistä kollektiivisista tavoitteista on vain vähän tutkittua tietoa. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin selvittämään, millaisena naisjoukkueen kollektiiviset tavoitteet näyttäytyvät pelaajille. Pelaajien käsityksiä tarkasteltiin sekä tulostavoitteiden, että suoritus- ja prosessi- eli toimintatavoitteiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin, kuinka yhtenäinen käsitys joukkueiden sisällä vallitsi yhteisestä tulostavoitteesta. Toisena tavoitteena oli tarkastella sitä, mitkä 25:stä toiminta…
The role of languages at Finnish universities
2011
The promotion of multilingualism is one of the objectives of the European Union. However, in academic contexts, internationalisation and multilingual expertise are often understood as using English as a medium in teaching, research, tutoring and administrative communication. To explore the role of different languages at Finnish universities, an online survey was conducted in November – December 2009 among their staff, with 3605 respondents across disciplines and occupational groups. In this paper, we will present some of the results focussing on the following questions: How important are different languages considered in a university working environment? What are the language skills and use…
Modeling epidemics through ladder operators

Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli suunnitella kielikurssi, joka edistäisi puolustusvoimien henkilökunnan sotilasterminologian oppimista. Kurssin päätavoitteena oli käyttää täysipainoisesti konstruktivismiperustaista PVMoodlea oppimisessa, sekä sitouttaa oppijat yhteisölliseen oppimiseen, ottaen huomioon sotilaspedagogiikan oppimisen ohjaamisen KATRIKS periaatemallin (muistimalli, joka tukee oppimis- ja opetussuunnitelman laadintaa). Teoriataustassa käsitellään kohderyhmän mukaisesti aikuisoppimista, yhteisöllistä oppimista, sanaston oppimista, sekä verkon käyttöä oppimistapahtumassa. Teoreettisen osan perusteella luotiin PVMoodleen sanastokurssi. Kurssin painotus on konstruktiivisessa oppimisess…
Assessing reading and online research comprehension: Do difficulties in attention and executive function matter?
2021
This study evaluated the relation between sixth graders' (N = 426) teacher-rated difficulties in attention and executive function (EF) and their comprehension skills. Reading comprehension was assessed with a multiple-choice task and online research and comprehension (ORC) with a problem-solving task. The analyses were controlled for gender, reading fluency and nonverbal reasoning. To investigate differences in students' performance between the tasks, comprehension skills in the multiple-choice task were also controlled for in the ORC task. Structural equation models showed that teacher-rated attention and EF difficulties were related to students' performance more in the problem-solving tas…

Lessons learned from Creation of Digitally Competent Educators SLP
2021
[Introduction] Mismatch of competences and socio-economical results of this issue is recognized as an important problem for higher education institutes (HEIs) in Europe. To cope with this issue HEIs need to create new more flexible and modular structures. In this context, a European HEIs are encouraged to create micro-credentials and short learning programmes (Futures et al., 2020). European Short Learning Programmes (E-SLPs) are one of these new and flexible structures suggested by an EU Project funded under Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 3: Support for Policy Reform, Initiatives for Policy Innovation, "Forward Looking Cooperation Projects". SLPs have potential to respond to market needs a…

Feedback, used on further development of the SLP, focused on the content and implementation of the course modules. The SLP followed the design guidelines produced inside the E-SLP project and was based on the Digital Compe…
“I felt a bit nervous” : Virtual Exchange as an emotional journey
2021
Virtual Exchange is a collective term for a set of collaborative online learning practices that cut across institutional, cultural, and international borders. Moving outside their learning environments, the participants engage in project work with foreign peers. The teams have to work across time zones, use foreign languages, manage cultural differences and apply digital tools for communication and collaboration. The virtual projects enhance the development of transversal work/life skills, which are an asset in today’s global labour market. The aim of the present study is to explore the emotional trajectory of Virtual Exchange based on the students’ e-portfolios. By analysing the self-evalu…
