Monialaisen ohjauksen rakentuminen ohjaustilanteissa: onko monialainen ohjaus monialaista?
2022
Monialaisia ohjauspalveluita perustellaan niiden myönteisillä vaikutuksilla asiakkaisiin, työntekijöihin ja mukana oleviin palveluntuottajiin, mutta monialaista ohjausta koskeva empiirinen ja teoreettinen tutkimusnäyttö on toistaiseksi vähäistä. Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme sitä, miten eri tavoin monialaista ohjausta toteutetaan toiminnan tasolla. Aineiston muodostaa vuosina 2018–2019 kerätty havainnointiaineisto nuorten ohjaus- ja neuvontapalveluja tuottavan Ohjaamon ohjaustilanteista (n = 68). Kysymme, millaisiin erilaisiin tekoihin monialainen ohjaus jäsentyy ohjauksen työmuodon ja ammatillisten toimintatapojen perusteella, joita olivat ohjaajien lukumäärä, ohjauksen tavoite, ohjauksen …
Co-sensing and co-shaping as shared and relational practices in bringing about relational leaders in higher education
2021
AbstractThe aim of this article is to investigate how and what kinds of relational and shared practices were co-created within a multicultural team in a higher education collaborative learning environment. The students interacted while working towards the shared goal of co-constructing knowledge. The study provides insight into how student teams can actively build collaboration in learning spaces through manifesting relational leadership. Shared and relational practices refer broadly to all the knowledge, attitudes and skills that emerge from team interaction. A compound theoretical framework combining relational leadership and leadership trichotomy was adapted to study what particular fact…
Development of pedagogical design in technology-rich environments for language teaching and learning
2015
This study explores the development of pedagogical design for language teaching and learning in increasingly technology-rich environments. More specifically, it focuses on the process of design, enactment and analysis of language and literacy pedagogies in technology-rich environments. Two substudies are reported in five articles, each of which approaches pedagogical design from a different perspective. The first substudy examined (a) what pedagogical choices language students make in regard to learning objectives, working modes, materials and assessment, and (b) what kind of experiences, attitudes and perceptions were behind these choices. The second substudy focused on developing a design…
Influence of Oral Health Care Systems on Future Career Environment of Dental Students in Europe
2021
Oral healthcare is organized subsidiarily and independently by nation states in Europe and also within the EU and consequently, major differences between the nation states and the various oral healthcare systems in Europe are present. The socialization in the respective catchment area can have an impact on the job choice and the perception of employment opportunities of different professional groups. Therefore, the purpose of this survey was to elucidate the influence of different oral healthcare systems on students living or studying in the respective catchment area. A questionnaire (in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish) with 18 different components was administered. Data on ge…
Akateemisen saksan kielen rooli suomalaisopiskelijoiden näkökulmasta
2009
In most academic disciplines nowadays, German plays only a minor role in academic publishing. On the other hand, academic mobility has increased and Germany is the most popular target country for Finnish students. For any successful academic exchange with German-speaking countries, a sound competence in German is a major advantage. To explore students’ opinions about multilingualism and the role of German, an online-survey amongst 20400 students, with 3516 respondents (17,3 %), was conducted in 2008. The main emphasis was on language skills needed for studying in Finland and German-speaking countries, on possible culture-bound practices and on students’ self-evaluation of oral skills in Ger…
Sustainable Food Consumption Practices: Insights into Consumers’ Experiences
2021
In recent years, the increasing consumer concern towards food safety, environmental sustainability and social justice issues have stimulated new consumption practices more oriented towards social, economic, and environmental sustainability [1–3]. This includes the growing consumers’ preference for organic food, local food, and other sustainable food and beverage consumption (Contribution 1) [ 4], as well as the spread of alternative distribution chains, which emphasise the importance of local food productions [ 5 ], the short-distance transportation of food, and the direct relationship between consumers and producers, although, as Kwil and colleagues (Contribution 2) highlighted in this Spe…
Deinstitutionalization revisited
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to offer a new analysis and understanding of the notion of deinstitutionalization. Deinstitutionalization of taken-for-granted practices as a natural consequence of ever-increasing entropy seems to directly contradict the major institutional thesis, namely, that over time isomorphic forces increase and, as a result, possibilities for deinstitutionalization decrease culminating in the impossibility of abandoning in highly institutionalized fields.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is conceptual in nature. Oliver’s 1992 paper on deinstitutionalization is taken as a key text on the subject and as a starting point for building an alternative theory of dein…
Practices and Infrastructures for Machine Learning Systems : An Interview Study in Finnish Organizations
2022
Using interviews, we investigated the practices and toolchains for machine learning (ML)-enabled systems from 16 organizations across various domains in Finland. We observed some well-established artificial intelligence engineering approaches, but practices and tools are still needed for the testing and monitoring of ML-enabled systems. Peer reviewed
The analysis of teaching practices at school and at university.
2011
It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…
