Consolidation by Game-Playing: a Gamesmanship Inquiry into Forestry Industry
2006
If one takes a flight in Finland from the country’s capital, Helsinki, for instance, north to Rovaniemi, the ‘Gateway to Lapland’, the scenery below consists typically of lakes, rivers and marshland, but most of all of forests. Wood in all its forms has been for centuries the core of the national character as well as the locomotive of business in Finland. Over the years the Finns have come to understand that the forest sector is perhaps the strongest guarantor of the Finnish economy and identity. The old saying ‘Finland earns its living from its forests’ can even be interpreted to mean ‘what is good for the forest sector is good for Finland’. Lilja, Tainio and Rasanen (1991a) encapsulated t…
Language acquisition through interaction between gamers in digital gaming environments
2014
Internetin kautta pelattavat moninpelit tarjoavat monenlaisia mahdollisuuksia harjoitella Englannin kielitaitoa, sekä käyttää sitä hyväksi erilaisissa kommunikointitilanteissa. Pelien hyötyä kieltenoppimisessa on jo jonkin verran tutkittu, mutta tutkimus rajoittuu suurelta osin itse pelien sisältöihin. Lähivuosina internetin kautta pelaaminen yhdessä toisten pelaajien kanssa on yleistynyt, mikä on avannut keskustelua myös pelien interaktiivisuuden vaikutuksista kielitaitoon. Internetissä tapaa usein pelaajia monista erilaisista kulttuureista ja taustoista, mikä rikastuttaa kielikulttuuria sekä mahdollistaa kielenkäytön harjoittelun matalan kynnyksen tilanteissa. Suomalaiset pelaavat interne…

Report on the 10th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus17)
2018
The 10th annual International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus) took place on September 13–15, 2017, at Queen Mary University of London (UoL). The SysMus series has established itself as an international, student-run conference series aimed at introducing graduate students to networking and discussing their work in an academic conference environment. The term “Systematic Musicology,” first coined by Guido Adler (1885), nowadays covers a wide range of systematic or empirical approaches to theoretical, psychological, neuroscientific, ethnographic, and computational methodologies in music research. Presentations for SysMus17 focused on three central topics in relation t…
The Impact of Personality and Motivation on Immersion in Simulation Games
2020
The cognitive-motivational process model of learning describes how personality traits in a specific situation influence current learner motivation and through certain mediators, the learning outcome. This study investigates the influence of personality traits and current motivation on these mediators. For 86 high school students playing a simulation game, the Big Five, the need for cognition, current motivations, immersion, and joy of learning were measured. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that need for cognition, interest, and challenge significantly and positively impacts the experienced immersion. Also, the joy of learning correlates positively with immersion. The adapted model…
Experimental macroeconomics: a role-playing experience among bachelor students
2020
This current innovative education project has the main goal of introducing students to experimental economics to help them better understand complex macroeconomic concepts. For this purpose, it is used an online experimental platform to develop a role-playing dynamic with which students become real economic agents. This gamified technique allows students to interact with each other in the goods and production factors markets and, thus, generate a circular flow studied as one of the main macroeconomic principles. The online platform is conceived as a two-sided website: on one hand, students are assigned a role and asked to make decisions; and, on the other, professors can instantaneously acc…
"Kun siihen pystyy kuitenkin, ei oo mitään järkee olla tekemättä" : oppimisen vaikeudet pianonsoiton opiskelussa - oppilaiden kokemuksia ja opetuksen…
2017
Music is a strong element of the empirical world of the young. Playing an instrument creates meanings, and it can help to feel and deal with emotions. Music itself is a source of immense joy and motivation for young players, even when learning is not easy. Year after year, the piano is the most popular instrument chosen by Music Institute applicants. The aim of this study was to investigate the difficulties encountered by piano students who are slower to learn than might be assumed from their talent and practising. The study also examined whether the piano teach- er’s observations about the student's learning difficulties in piano playing tally with the results of tests measuring learning d…

Students’ experiences of their agency in whole-class playing
2022
The agency of primary school students has been studied increasingly in recent years; yet, we know relatively little about student agency in music educational settings or how students experience their participation in joint musical action. This study explores sixth-grade students’ experiences of their agency in whole-class playing. Qualitative content analysis of 11 pair interviews identified vulnerability as an essential element of participating in whole-class playing, highlighting the intrinsically emotional nature of the process, the immediacy of the musically shared moment and the safe place of entrainment. This study elucidates the enactment of agency and the resources facilitating and …
Teacher beliefs about student agency in whole-class playing
2022
This study explores music teachers’ beliefs of student agency in whole-class playing and investigates what characterises student agency through teachers’ values, actions and observations within this unique multimodal and -dimensional learning environment. Our abductive analysis of 11 interviews reveals that the role of teacher support is significant in enacting students’ agency. This study provides insights into student agency through the eyes and actions of teachers within the context of whole-class playing and suggests that the enactment of different aspects of student agency is an essential feature necessary for whole-class playing to succeed. peerReviewed
