Oppikirjoilla on hyvin keskeinen rooli opetuksessa kaikilla asteilla, joten ne väistämättä vaikuttavat myös oppijoihin. Oppikirjojen kieli- ja oppimiskäsitykset vaikuttavat siihen, miten opitaan ja nämä käsitykset voivat myös siirtyä oppijoille. Oppikirjatutkimus on kohdistunut erityisesti Suomessa peruskoulun ja lukion oppikirjoihin jättäen aikuisten kielten oppikirjat vähemmälle huomiolle. Kuitenkin myös aikuiset tarvitsevat laadukkaita ja ajantasaisia oppikirjoja oppiakseen. Tässä tutkielmassa tutkittiin oppijan roolia aikuisten englannin ja ruotsin kielen oppikirjojen tehtävissä. Tehtävien ja oppijan roolin kautta haluttiin selvittää myös kieli- ja oppimiskäsityksiä kirjojen takana. Näi…

2019

Changing technologies and competition in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) are challenging the learning of individual workers and teams alongside and through work. Organisations call for employees’ autonomy and self-directedness executed by agile operations and low hierarchies, where learning is also increasingly the responsibility of the individuals and teams themselves and occurs in practice without strong control of the organisation.

Context as a Provider of Key Resources for Succession: A Case Study of Sustainable Family Firms

2019

[EN] Although succession is the single most important issue in family-owned businesses (FOBs), there is scarce comprehensive and integrative analysis of the context (i.e., the social, organizational, and normative setting) where succession events occur. Research usually focuses on the success or failure of succession processes, instead of the risks faced by FOBs during succession. The succession process takes time and multiple actors are involved. Therefore, succession is influenced by uncertainty and unforeseen events. This study addresses the aforementioned gap in the literature by investigating how context can reduce the risk of failure in succession. Based on organizational change theor…
