‘It has given me this kind of courage…’: the significance of CLIL in forming a positive target language self-concept

2019

This article sets out to broaden the understanding of foreign language self-concept in CLIL context. The few existing studies on self-concept in CLIL have been quantitative and provided somewhat discrepant results, highlighting the need for approaching the topic qualitatively. The data of the present study are in-depth interviews with 24 former Finnish CLIL pupils who retrospectively reflected on their CLIL experiences. The participants had received English-medium CLIL for nine years during their comprehensive school in the 1990s. The data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. The participants generally felt that CLIL had had a significant role in contributing to their very p…

Community-dwelling older adults and their informal carers call for more attention to psychosocial needs - Interview study on unmet care needs in thre…

2022

Background: Unmet care needs are usually defined in terms of receiving sufficient help in instrumental activities and activities of daily living. Research on unmet needs is mostly based on quantitative data. Older persons’ and informal carers’ views and experiences have received less attention. Methods: In this paper, we rely on a definition of unmet needs which includes both unmet needs due to insufficient care and those situations where informal carers experience undue strain. Using theory-driven content analysis, we examine community-dwelling older adults’ and their informal carers’ experiences of unmet needs: what kind of unmet needs they have, why and in which ways these needs are left…

Hauskasti puvuttomina : burleskin esteettisen vastarinnan traditio ja ilmiö Suomessa

2011

Tutkielmassani tarkastelen burleskin nykyilmiötä suhteessa sen historiallisiin juuriin, tyyliin ja traditioon esteettisen vastarinnan näkökulmasta etsien siitä vastakulttuurisia yhdessä nauramisen elementtejä. Tutkin, mitä historiallisten burleskien ja karnevalistisuuden piirteistä nykyilmiö yhä kantaa mukanaan, ja miten nykyburleski uudenlaisena, yhteisöllisenä, yksilöllisenä, heterogeenisenä, uudistavana ja uudistuvana esteettisen vastakulttuurin muotona liittyy erilaisten strategioiden kautta osaksi burleskin traditiota. Näkökulmani on useimpien aihetta käsittelevien tutkimusten naisnäkökulmasta poiketen laajemmin sukupuolen representaatioita, murroksia ja tulkintoja, sekä inhimillistä n…

Promoting emotional skills in early adolescents with mental health conditions in music therapy : a content analysis of focus group interviews

2023

Introduction: Music therapy is actively used with early adolescents in relation to their emotional skill development. Yet, the conceptualization of emotional skills is typically not systematically addressed in therapeutic practice. This study examined music therapists’ views on the progress of emotional skills when working with early adoles-cents with mental health conditions. The study also explored what kind of methods the therapists use with the target group, and the applicability of a previously pub-lished conceptual model. Method: We conducted a deductive-inductive content analysis of transcripts from four focus group interviews among 13 professional music therapists. Results: The ther…

"You helped me out of that darkness" Children as dialogical partners in the collaborative post-family therapy research interview.

2021

Applying Dialogical Methods for Investigations of Happening of Change (DIHC), this study investigated how children who had been diagnosed with an oppositional defiant or conduct disorder participated in a collaborative post‐therapy research interview and talked about their experiences of family therapy. The results showed that the children participated as dialogical partners talking in genuine, emotional, and reflective ways. Encountered as full‐membership partners, the children also co‐constructed meanings for their sensitive experiences. However, their verbal initiatives and responses appeared in very brief moments and could easily have been missed. The collaborative post‐therapy intervie…
