Critical Exploration of Flexible Delivery
2020
This work-in-progress research article presents an introductory qualitative study on students' perceptions of a flexibly delivered, modular computer science course. Many contemporary approaches to education rely in various ways on flexible delivery of course content. This is often done to capitalize on modern technology and the web, and to put the student ‘in the center.' However, it is becoming manifest that these approaches may challenge both the students and the equity between them, making it important to understand the effects of flexible delivery in terms of the students. In the voice of our students, flexible delivery was seen as a largely positive approach, reducing stress, promoting…

Personality, well-being and job resources : from negative paradigm towards positive psychology
2007
Anne Mäkikangas tutki väitöstyössään suomalaisten persoonallisuutta, työtä ja terveyttä. - Ihmiset, jotka arvostavat itseään ja näkevät itsessään vahvuuksia, suhtautuvat usein myös luottavaisesti tulevaisuuteensa. Oman itsensä arvostaminen, vahva luottamus asioiden järjestymiseen ja hallittavuuteen ovat myös tärkeitä terveyden edistäjiä. Erityisesti nämä persoonallisuuden voimavarat ovat merkityksellisiä psyykkisen terveyden näkökulmasta, Mäkikangas havaitsi. Mäkikangas osoitti, että lapsilähtöinen kasvatus ja hyvä koulumenestys ennustivat optimistisuutta myöhemmin aikuisiällä. Merkittävä havainto tutkimuksessa oli, että tyytyväisyys elämän keskeisiin osa-alueisiin, kuten työhön ja vapaa-ai…

Oral Discourse In Scientific Research
2018
This chapter discusses the role and characteristics of oral discourse in scientific research, with “scientific” understood in a broad sense, covering any discipline of research. After introducing corpora of oral academic discourse, genre-specific characteristics of PhD defences, research group meetings, colloquia, and conference presentations are discussed from a discoursal point of view. In scientific research, oral discourse plays a fundamental role in the social construction of knowledge. Its analysis offers valuable insights into the sociology of scientific communities. peerReviewed
