Esports fandom in the age of transmedia: the reception of the overwatch league
2021
In our article, we analyse the ways audiences engage with Overwatch esports and construct their fan relationships. We situate our research into several intersecting theoretical frames. To understand how Overwatch esports audiences engage with the esports through different media and media related practices we apply the framework of transmedia studies in our examination. To better understand how meanings related to esports are constructed through these practices we also draw from research on fandom and fan engagement. We reflect these findings on earlier research on sports fandom and esports viewership, enabling us to identify how Overwatch esports communities relate to traditional sports com…

Professional identity among student teachers of physical education : the role of physicality
2019
In this study, we investigate the role of physicality in the professional identities of physical education (PE) student teachers. Twenty PE student teachers participated in semi-structured interviews during their final teaching practice. Data were analysed using qualitative thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke 2006) and typologies (Patton 2002). The results showed substantial diversity in the student teachers’ conceptions of physicality and the ways these conceptions were embedded in their developing professional identities. The results also brought to light criticism directed at traditional notions of the body and physicality in PE and PE teacher education (PETE). We suggest that conception…

Groove as a multidimensional participatory experience
2023
Groove is a popular and widely used concept in the field of music. Yet, its precise definition remains elusive.

Consequently, in an online survey, 88 participants provided free-text descriptions of the term groove. A thematic analysis revealed that groove is a multifaceted phenomenon, and participants’ descriptions fit into two main categories: music- and experience…
Non-native English-speaking teachers of English in Finland : teachers' thoughts and experiences of their profession
2014
Englanninkielen opettajia on nykyään määrällisesti paljon, niin Suomessa kuin ympäri maailmaa.Opettajat jakautuvat karkeasti kahteen ryhmään; englantia äidinkielenään puhuviin natiiviopettajiin ja ei-natiiveihin englantia puhuviin opettajiin. Jo vuosikymmen sitten on arvioitu, että ei-natiivit englanninkielen opettajat ovat muodostaneet enemmistön. Siitä huolimatta ei-natiiveja opettajia on alettu tutkia vasta viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana, sillä natiiviopettajia on perinteisesti suosittu. Suomessa tilanne on kuitenkin toinen, sillä ei-natiivit opettajat ovat Suomessa itsestäänselvyys ja selvä enemmistö. Tutkielman tarkoitus on toimia keskustelunavauksena ja tuoda uusi näkökulma suomalai…
