In recent decades, increased diversity and migration have challenged school staff members’ ways of working. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by Finnish school staff in supporting students with migrant backgrounds, and to elaborate on how they enact professional agency toward these challenges. The data consist of 15 thematic interviews with staff members across various work positions in two Finnish lower secondary schools. Based on thematic analysis, the challenges within the staff community and the education policies were found to include the following: (1) the diversification of students makes tensions more visible in the staff community, and (2) inflexible education polic…
Examining Competing Entrepreneurial Concerns in a Social Question and Answer (SQA) Platform
2021
This study aims to determine the competing concerns of people interested in startup development and entrepreneurship by using topic modeling and sentiment analysis on a social question-and-answer (SQA) website. Understanding the underlying concerns of startup entrepreneurs is critical to society and economic growth. Therefore, greater scientific support for entrepreneurship remains necessary, including data mining from virtual social communities. In this study, an SQA platform was used to identify the sentiment of thirty concerns of people interested in startup entrepreneurship. Based on topic modeling and sentiment analysis of 18819 inquiries in various forums on an SQA, we identified addi…
Alkuorientaatio koronan keskellä : alkukeitoksen avulla kemian opintoihin kiinni
2021
Korkeakouluopintojen merkityksellinen aloitus antaa suuntaa niiden yleiselle sujuvuudelle. Yliopistojen alkuorientaatioviikoilla tai -kursseilla on täten suuri merkitys opintoihin integroitumiselle ja myös niiden jatkuvuudelle. Jyväskylän yliopiston kemian laitoksella alkuorientaatio on vuodesta 2007 lähtien järjestetty kahden opintopisteen arvoisena kemian perusopintokokonaisuuteen sisältyvänä Alkukeitos-kurssina. Kurssin tavoitteena on tukea kemian opiskelijoiden opintojen sujuvaa aloitusta ja opintoihin sitoutumista. Syksyllä 2020 Alkukeitos-kurssin järjestäminen aiheutti haasteita vallitsevan koronatilanteen vuoksi. Kurssin korona-ajan toimintamallin toimivuutta arvioitiin palautekeskus…
Schools Went Online Over One Weekend – Opportunities and Challenges for Online Education Related to the COVID-19 Crisis
2020
This study aims to further the understanding of the opportunities and challenges for online education from the perspective of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. The situation was unique in many ways, as the migration from traditional to online education was very rapid and forced by situational circumstances. However, it also had the potential to foster organizational change in the use of online education in a way that has never been seen before. A literature review was used to explore the opportunities and challenges for online education, and the results are discussed in connection with the COVID-19 crisis. The study identified nine opportunities and nine challenges for online edu…

Toiminnanohjausjärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessi salibandyseurassa
2016
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia toiminnanohjausjärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessia salibandyseurassa. Tarkempina tavoitteina oli selvittää prosessin aiheuttamat hyödyt ja haasteet seuran toimintaan. Lisäksi tutkittiin uuden seuratoiminnanohjausjärjestelmän aiheuttamaa muutosta päivittäisiin seuratoimintoihin kuluvaan työaikaan, jäsenmäärään sekä merkittävimpiin tulovirtoihin. Salibandy on lyhyen lajihistoriansa aikana kasvanut harrastajamäärältään voimakkaasti, mikä on aiheuttanut uudenlaisia vaatimuksia aatteellisina, voittoa tavoittelemattomina yhdistyksinä toimiville salibandyseuroille, joiden toimintaa pyöritetään pääosin vapaaehtoistyön voimin. Toiminnanohjausjärjestelmien, joiden …
Motivational Challenges of Engineers Participating in an Online Upskilling Program
2022
The present powerful surge of available online learning platforms will provide employees with enhanced opportunities to rapidly develop their skills, regardless of time and place. Despite the potential, there are challenges for participants on online learning platforms to finalise the courses they engage in. The reasons for the high number of students dropping out before completion of the course are motivational, social, and technological. Studies show that large skill gaps exist among industry employees worldwide. It is often caused by the implementation of new technologies, digitalization, as well as increasing requirements on sustainability and resilience. E-learning provides a major opp…
We are “not” too (young/old) to collaborate : Prominent Key Barriers to Intergenerational Innovation
2019
In this study, we analyzed the barriers to technology-supported intergenerational innovation to understand better how young and old can collaborate towards global innovations. Researchers in different disciplines have already identified various barriers to intergenerational collaboration. However, barriers are changing depending on the context of collaboration, and difficulties still exist to support intergenerational innovation in global settings. Therefore, we investigated the barriers that emerge when people work with someone decades older or younger. The results of our study have shown what barriers are influenced by age, what barriers exist only for senior and younger adults. The study…
Communication Challenges in CBRN Terrorism Crises : Expert Perceptions
2015
This paper is a follow-up of ‘Terrorism Communication: Characteristics and Emerging Perspectives in the Scientific Literature 2002–2011’, published in JCCM in September 2013, Volume 21, Issue 3. The aim of this paper was to investigate experts' perceptions on communication in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism crises, including challenges and good practices. This is pursued by means of a qualitative online questionnaire aimed at international crisis communication and crisis management experts. The challenges of communication concerning CBRN terrorism arise from the complexity of such incidents, having to do with the nature of the threat, leading to problematic p…
The long and winding road of enterprise architecture implementation in the Finnish public sector
2018
This thesis examines the implementation of enterprise architecture (EA) in the Finnish public sector. EA is a systematic approach for analysing, visualising, developing and governing the functions and structures of organisations. It describes how organisations businesses, information and systems function as a whole. Research and practice have shown the implementation of EA is challenging and slow to advance. Finland provides a prolific area for research since the use of EA is mandatory in public sector, which is rare amongst countries taking a whole-of-government EA approach. In order to research EA as a method for systemic change, a suitable theoretical framing was necessary. The context, …
