Sähköisten oppimateriaalien käytön mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita korkeakoulutuksessa

2016

Sähköinen oppimateriaali on käsitteenä laaja. Sillä on useita läheisiä käsitteitä ja synonyymejä, joilla voidaan kontekstista riippuen tarkoittaa eri asioita. Koulutuksen digitalisoituminen on ajankohtaista kaikilla koulutusasteilla, mutta sähköisten oppimateriaalien käytön mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita korkeakouluissa tutkiva kirjallisuus on hajanaista erityisesti suomenkielellä. Tässä tutkielmassa tutkittiin kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla, mitä sähköisellä oppimateriaalilla tarkoitetaan sekä mitä mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita niiden käytöllä on korkeakouluissa. Tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan sähköisellä oppimateriaalilla tarkoitetaan sähköisessä muodossa julkaistua materiaalia, joka on tarkoite…

Interaction in online learning environments : how to support collaborative activities in higher education settings

2006

Collaboration promoted and supported by instructional technology has the potential to lead learners to deeper understanding and knowledge building. There have been optimistic views that any web based interaction can be educationally valuable. However, online learning environments do not, as such, guarantee that learners will achieve genuine collaboration. It seems that there are several difficulties facing those who wish to employ online learning environments as a medium for productive learner interaction. The particular aim of this exploration of interaction and learning in computer supported collaborative learning environments was to study the interplay between learners and consider the w…

Infographics as a Reflective Assignment Method in Requirements Engineering e-Course?

2019

Our Work in Progress Paper in Innovative Practice Category focuses on how learners’ experience use of infographics in advanced level e-course on requirements engineering (RE). Infographics are visual representations of information in such a way that information can be easily understood at a glance. Most of the previous infographics studies have been conducted in the context of inquiry learning. To complement this research, we studied how learners experience use of infographics as a method for reflective assignment and hence if the usage of infographics supported conceptualization about RE. We adopted a qualitative content analysis approach, applying thematic network analysis to the data rec…

Project-Based Education Research Course Supports Exchange-students’ Research Minded Teacher Identity

2022

Project-based education (PBE) gives possibilities for students to work together and feeling of belonging in a community even during distance learning. At the Department of Chemistry, University of Jyväskylä (JYU), a group of exchange students participated in a PBE chemistry teacher education research course online. The goal of the course was to enforce the connection between research on science teaching and acting sustainable in society. This study is based on semi-structured online group interview of the students after this PBE course. The main focus of this investigation was how positive feelings and attitude affect learning. peerReviewed

Using a blended approach to enrich MOOCs on Finnish education

2021

Blended education embraces various combinations of face-to-face and online teaching. It has become a normal part of higher education degree programmes. Since the late 1990s, the Open University of the University of Jyväskylä (JYUOpen) has been offering online and blended education for its rapidly growing number of students. For many years now, Finnish education has ranked high in PISA research. Furthermore, the University of Jyväskylä has been successful in global rankings, especially in the field of education (Shanghai Ranking: 36, QS World University Rankings: 51–100 and Times Higher Education: 67). In order to present the success factors of the Finnish education system, we offered our fi…

Evaluation of Student Teachers’ Perceived Quantitative Workload and Usefulness of an On-line Elementary Science Education Course Unit

2022

We have designed a 1 ECTS on-line science pedagogy unit as a part of a 6 ECTS science education course for elementary school student teachers. To improve the unit, we asked 169 participants to estimate their use of time and the usefulness of the themes and contents in it. We analysed the responses in the framework of students’ perceived workload. The Basics of School Science was perceived as the most useful section, followed by Science Teaching and Learning Methods and Basics of Science and Scientific Knowledge in Schools, respectively. This in mind, we discuss the rescaling of the workload and the respective weights student perception and teacher expertise should have in the process. peerR…
