Higher Education and Global Social Injustice
2020
This dissertation, composed of three unique scholarly articles, explores some of the ways in which institutions of higher education facilitate and mitigate social injustice on a global scale. Specifically analyzing the behavior of administrative actors—defined as those that serve in a leadership role outside of the classroom—the purpose of the research was twofold. Firstly, I aimed to identify the mechanisms by which administrative actors at U.S. and Finnish institutions of higher education legitimized and rationalized their involvement in globally unjust educational practices. Secondly, I sought to identify the ways in which administrative actors in these economically privileged countries …

Access to Higher Education: An Instrument for Fair Societies?
2019
Access to higher education (HE) has a long history. To offer a view on the current debates and worldwide issues regarding access to HE, this editorial depicts how the control of educational access has historically been used as an instrument of governance at the interface of two processes: social stratification and the territorialisation of politics. Access to HE has remained embedded in these large structural processes even though HE has expanded from a highly elitist institution into mass education systems with equity of educational opportunities having become a desirable goal across societies. Analysing these processes helps understand the complex mechanisms producing inequalities in HE t…
Higher Education
2022
Fifty years ago, higher education globally had started to change radically in terms of the proportion of young people enrolled in the system as well as society's expectations for what this would deliver. From the outset, Higher Education has featured research interrogating various aspects of inequality in higher education, including institutions and staff as well as students. This article offers an overview of that work. Our analysis is structured around three levels at which major questions on this topic have been framed and investigated. The macro level focuses on national systems and looks at widening participation, especially the increase in access to higher education for young people. …

Teenage Time Use and Educational Attainment in Adulthood in Finland
2021
We investigated the role of teenage everyday social ties in educational outcomes by examining the association between teenage time use and educational attainment in adulthood. The sample consisted of young people aged 10–18 from the 1979 Finnish Time Use Survey, and the same respondents’ educational attainment later in life recorded from population register data at the year of 40th birthday (n = 366 men and 393 women). We assessed the associations of time spent with the parents, on studying, leisure activities, as well as social connectedness with friends and participation in extracurricular activities, with educational outcomes. Our findings indicated that time spent with the father is pos…
Difficult but Valuable! Learning in Student-centered Assessment Feedback Practices in Higher Education
2022
Aims: The aim of this study is to fill a gap in research on students' experiences of learning in student-centered assessment feedback practices. The article examines what students tell us about their learning in the context of student-centered feedback practices in higher education during online learning.
 Study Design: The study was conducted as a qualitative online survey among Finnish university students (N=35). The relationship between learning and assessment was explored in the context of formative and summative assessment practices during an online learning environment. The data was analysed using a discursive approach.
 Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducte…
Yliopiston opiskelijavalinnasta opintourille : miten opintouratyypit ja siirtymäjärjestelmä linkittyvät koulutuspoliittisiin tavoitteisiin?
2020
Yliopistojen opiskelijavalintajärjestelmä on uudistumassa. Tavoitteena on nopeuttaa jatko-opintoihin sijoittumista ja varhentaa työelämään siirtymistä tutkinnon jälkeen. Hidas sijoittuminen jatkoopintoihin, pitkät opiskeluajat ja alhaiset tutkintojen läpäisyprosentit ovat olleet jo pitkään korkeakoulupoliittisena kesto-ongelmana. Ongelmat eivät siis liity pelkästään opiskelijavalintaan, vaan myös opintojen aikaisiin tekijöihin. Tarkastelen tässä artikkelissa, millaisina pitkien opiskeluaikojen ja matalien läpäisyprosenttien syyt näyttäytyvät yliopisto-opiskelijoiden opintourien pohjalta. Syitä peilataan hyvinvointivaltiomalleihin perustuviin siirtymäregiimeihin, jotka muodostavat reunaehdot…
