2007
Feedback provided to a user is an important part of learning and interaction in e-learning systems. In this paper we present the results of our pilot experiment aimed to study interrelation between several types of immediate feedback presentation and learning styles (LSs) of users. In the experiment we used the feedback supported by quiz module of moodle learning system. The obtained results demonstrate tendencies in interrelation between LS and immediate/summative feedback presentation and we suggest three hypotheses for future research.

Technology’s aid to learning and learners with differerent learning styles : Pupils’ assessment
2009
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli lähteä selvittämään erilaisten oppijoiden käsityksiä teknisten apuvälineiden käytön hyödyllisyydestä heidän oppimiselleen. Tutkimuksessa etsitään vastauksia muun muassa seuraavanlaisiin kysymyksiin: Mitkä ovat oppilaiden omat kokemukset siitä kuinka teknisten apuvälineiden käyttö opetuksessa hyödyttää heitä parhaiten? Mitkä apuvälineet ovat toimivimpia ja millä tavalla he kokevat hyötyvänsä niiden käytöstä? Lisäksi tutkimuksessa sivutaan kysymyksiä siitä, miten erilaisten teknisten apuvälineiden käyttö ottaa erilaiset oppimistyylit huomioon sekä miten se hyödyttää erilaisia oppijoita. Tutkimus pyrkii myös selvittämään, vastaako oppilaan oppimistyyli hänen omia…

The authors cooperated extensively during the project, assessing and evaluating students’ responses and performances both quantitatively and qualitatively. This article focuses on (1) the place of e-learning and stylistics in our departments …
Parents' Causal Attributions Concerning Children's School Achievement: A Longitudinal Study
2005
The present study investigated the causes to which parents attribute their children's academic successes and failures during children's transition from preschool to primary school. It followed 182 mothers and 167 fathers of 207 children. The parents completed a questionnaire concerning their causal attributions, level of education, and parenting styles in the middle of the preschool year and during Grades 1 and 2. The children's performance in reading and mathematics was tested at the beginning of the preschool year. The results showed that, while the children were in preschool, parents attributed their children's success to ability and teaching. When the children moved to primary school, p…
Group interaction styles in a virtual context: The effects on group outcomes
2010
The influence of communication and information technologies (TICs) on group functioning and group outcomes is an important topic. Interdependent group work implies the need to communicate in order to share information and knowledge related to the task. The importance of this group interaction in the group functioning and outcomes stands out. In this sense, a line of investigation has arisen to study the role of interaction styles in the relationship between communication technology and group outcomes, as some functional or dysfunctional outputs depend on group interaction styles. From this perspective, the objective of this study is twofold: (1) to analyze the group interaction styles in vi…
