Nuevas ecologías del aprendizaje en el currículo: la era digital en la escuela The new learning ecology in the curriculum: the digital age at school
2020
espanolLa expansion y crecimiento de los ambientes de aprendizaje como resultado de la integracion de las TIC han facilitado el surgimiento de distintas formas de interrelacion educativa, provocando un interes en el estudio de las ecologias del aprendizaje y de los ecosistemas educativos digitales. Cada vez es mas necesario un cambio profundo en el proceso ensenanza-aprendizaje ya que el alumnado actualmente dentro del aula demanda un tipo de aprendizaje activo, vivencial y digital. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los nuevos modelos o paradigmas del aprendizaje basados en los intereses de las nuevas generaciones que aprenden en un contexto rodeado de las TIC. La metodologia empleada…
Development Speeded up by Necessity : The Future of Higher Education and Academic Work Online
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on our lives and living. In higher education, it led to a swift shift from on-campus to online education resulting in practices of emergency remote teaching through virtual classrooms. In this project, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that this abrupt, enforced change to online education entailed for faculty and students in Sweden and Finland. We aim to examine the evolution of online work and study practices, their impact on the teaching and learning environment, and new expectations imposed on the faculty and students. Our goal is to enhance the theoretical understanding of e-learning, developing guideli…
Factors Enabling and Hindering Value Co-Creation in Continuous Service Development: A Systematic Literature Review
2022
This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) investigating the factors that enable and hinder value co-creation in organizations’ continuous service development processes. Employing the lens of service-dominant (S-D) logic, we classify the identified factors into three interrelated dimensions: institutions, resources, and service exchange. Our systematic findings may inform organizations’ efforts to support the emergence of positive rather than negative value outcomes when implementing continuous practices in their service development. In addition, we outline avenues for further research in this emerging topic area. peerReviewed
A Feasible Framework for Maintenance Digitalization
2023
The entire industry is changing as a result of new developments in digital technology, and maintenance management is a crucial procedure that may take advantage of the opportunities brought about by industrial digitalization. To support digital innovation in maintenance management, this study intends to meet the cutting-edge necessity of addressing a transformation strategy in industrial contexts. Setting up a customized pathway with adequate methodologies, digitalization tools, and collaboration between the several stakeholders involved in the maintenance environment is the first step in this process. The results of a previous conference contribution, which revealed important digitalizatio…
Essays on Digitalization and Firm Performance
2023
Esta tesis doctoral analiza cómo el uso de las tecnologías digitales (TD) afecta las decisiones de las empresas en el comercio internacional y el empleo. La rápida expansión de estas tecnologías ofrece oportunidades para reducir costes asociados a la distancia física, lo que permite a las empresas llegar a más clientes y ampliar sus mercados. Sin embargo, el hecho de que las TD también puedan ser sustitutas de la mano de obra, remplazando a los humanos en sus trabajos y aumentando potencialmente el desempleo, suscita preocupación. Así pues, estos dos temas serán abordados en la tesis. Primer, los Capítulos 1 y 2 se centrarán en el impacto de la digitalización en el comercio internacional. M…
Managing Continuous Digital Service Innovation for Value Co-Creation
2023
Service organizations across various industries are increasingly implementing continuous development methods and practices to transform their digital service innovation and development processes. Consequently, continuous digital service innovation (DSI) has become a way to react to today’s dynamic markets by proposing value to customers quickly while maintaining service quality. However, little is known about how organizations can enable value co-creation (VCC) in their continuous DSI processes. We fill this gap in the literature by focusing on organizational-level continuous DSI processes. Based on findings from 23 industry informants from six Finnish digital service organizations, we pres…
Implementing sentiment analysis to an open-ended questionnaire: Case study of digitalization in elderly care during COVID-19
2022
[EN] The rise of digital technology has enabled us to utilize even more integrated systems for social and health care, but these systems are often complex and time-consuming to learn for the end users without relevant training or experience. We aim to perform Named Entity Recognition based sentiment analysis using the answers of eldercare workers that have taken a survey about the effects of digitalization on their work. The collection of the panel survey data was carried out in two waves: in 2019 and 2021. For the sentiment analysis we compare these two waves to determine the effects of COVID-19 on the work of eldercare workers. The research questions we ask are the following: “Has technol…
Understanding the impact of digital on performing arts: a systematic literature review proposal
2023
Digital technologies have profoundly changed the cultural and creative industries. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the performing arts sector, this digital transition has had a later impact on it. However, it has accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing organizations to digitally transform themselves to keep in touch with their audience(s). Now that this crisis is over, many strategic and operational questions still remain unanswered. This research proposes a systematic literature review in order to establish the state of the art of the research on digitalization of the performing arts sector and to highlight the main research avenues to be explored.
Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing
2020
Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…
