Ensuring Diverse User Experiences and Accessibility While Developing the TeSLA e-Assessment System

2019

The TeSLA project, with its new, innovative approaches for e-assessment, offers a great possibility for increasing the educational equality and making higher education studies available for all. It has been estimated that 10–15% of students in higher education institutions have some disabilities or special educational needs. At online universities or in online programmes, the number is even higher. These numbers emphasise the importance of the universal design for learning as a leading principle while developing the digital learning environments and e-assessment procedures. In this chapter, we describe the key elements of ensuring the accessibility of the TeSLA e-assessment system during th…

Acceptability of the e-authentication in higher education studies: views of students with special educational needs and disabilities

2021

AbstractTrust-based e-assessment systems are increasingly important in the digital age for both academic institutions and students, including students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Recent literature indicates a growing number of studies about e-authentication and authorship verification for quality assurance with more flexible modes of assessment. Yet understanding the acceptability of e-authentication systems among SEND students is underexplored. This study examines SEND students’ views about the use of e-authentication systems, including perceived advantages and disadvantages of new technology-enhanced assessment. This study aims to shed light on this area by exa…

Experiences of students with HIV/AIDS in rural, post-conflict Uganda

2015

The roll out of Anti-Retroviral Therapy across Sub-Saharan Africa has given rise to a new generation of adolescents that previously would not have survived into their teen years. The aim of this research is to give voice to these young people, specifically HIV positive students, in the rural, post-conflict area of Katakwi, Uganda. Through the lens of empowerment, which focuses on participation, capacity building, leadership potential, and relationships, this research examines the factors in these students’ lives that contribute to their empowerment, or the absence of these factors that then have the potential to disempower them. It considers the way the students themselves see both the prot…

Toward adjustment profiles for lower secondary student-athletes in the Finnish dual career context: A mixed-methods approach

2022

Engagement, burnout, and experiences are central concepts for understanding student-athlete adjustment in a dual career (DC) environment. As part of a larger 3-year, lower secondary sports schools pilot project, the aim of this study was to examine student-athletes’ DC adjustment in Finnish lower secondary sports schools at the end of the second academic year. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, we sought to (a) identify adjustment profiles among student-athletes based on measures of engagement and burnout in school and sport and (b) to extract experiences that describe the distribution of student-athletes in the profiles. A latent profile analysis using questionnaire data fr…

Hitaan opiskelijan analyysi

2013

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia luokanopettajaopiskelijan kokemusta opiskelusta ja ymmärtää opiskelussa koettuja jännitteitä. Niitä syntyi ympäristön odotusten ja oman kokemuksen välillä, kun opiskeluissa kesti suunniteltua pidempään. Opiskelun hitaus tuntuu ongelmalliselta, sillä yliopisto-opintoja on pyritty nopeuttamaan ja tehostamaan. Opiskelijoiden haluttaisiin valmistuvan nykyistä nopeammin. Hidas opiskelija määrittyy herkästi epäonnistujaksi, vaikka oma kokemus opiskelusta olisi toinen. Tutkimuksessa kuvattiin autoetnografisella otteella tutkijan omaa opiskelukokemusta. Tutkimusteksti muodostui aineiston ja analyysin vuoropuheluksi; kokemuksen näkyväksi tekeminen, analysointi ja…

Using Chinese in China - challenges and opportunities : a case study of three Finnish sojourners

2016

Despite the growing attention on interaction between language learners/sojourners and host community, there has been little research on second language (L2) using experience by adopting case study approach, by which each individual’s voice is valued. Grounded in sociocultural theory (SCT), the present study explores challenges and opportunities of international sojourners when they use Chinese in China by investigating three Finnish sojourners’ experiences in using Chinese. Coleman’s concentric circles model is adopted to illustrate sojourners’ different language choices and reasons with compatriots, international people and host community. Narratives and interview data are analyzed and dis…

Transformative Teaching and Learning Through Engaged Practice : Lecturers’ and Students’ Experiences in a University and Underserved Community Partne…

2018

peer-reviewed The Community Wellness, Empowerment, Leadership and Lifeskills (CWell) program is a two-year community-driven program developed in partnership between an underserved-community in Limerick City, and staff at the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. This paper explores the transformative teaching and learning experiences that arose throughout the duration of the progam for the lecturers and students. Data were collected through interviews and focus groups with lecturers and students involved in the program. Students supported the notion of “learning differently” and focused around prior learning and attitude to learning, learning about learning and impact of learning. Lecturers…
