(Un)sustainable creativity? Different manager-employee perspectives in the finnish technology sector

2020

The importance of creativity for working life and in organizations has increased in recent years. At the same time, the theme of sustainability has been intensely debated in research, society, and organizations. Together, creativity and sustainability have sometimes been described as a contradictory phenomenon: they are described in ways that place them in opposition to each other. To better understand creativity and sustainability and their differences from the perspective of people in different positions, we take advantage of a sociocultural approach in which we do not focus only on creative individuals but also on the impact of creativity on both organizational stakeholders and society a…

"Phonebloks, or a phone developed by its future users" : user experiences of a forum for a modular phone concept

2016

In late 2013, a project caught my attention as being interesting to me and potentially a lot of others, innovative, and environmentally friendly: a smartphone project called Phonebloks.

Kodväxling och dess funktioner i klassrummet : en jämförelse mellan svensk- och engelsklärare på gymnasiet

2013

Tämän tutkielman päämääränä oli selvittää, missä tilanteissa ruotsin- ja englanninopettajat käyttävät koodinvaihtoa lukiotunneilla ja millaisia funktioita näillä vaihdoilla on. Lisäksi haluttiin tutkia, eroavatko ruotsin- ja englanninopettajien tavat käyttää koodinvaihtoa toisistaan. Materiaali tutkimusta varten kerättiin observoimalla 16 lukiotuntia, joista 8 ruotsin- ja 8 englannintuntia. Observoinnin apuna käytettiin observointilomaketta, johon merkittiin, mistä kielestä mihin opettaja vaihtoi ja mikä funktio vaihdon taustalla oli. Lisäksi observointien aikana tehtiin kenttämuistiinpanoja. Jotta tutkimustuloksiin saataisiin toinen näkökulma, haastateltiin 3 ruotsin- ja 3 englanninopettaj…

The Dynamic Relationship between Response Processes and Self-Regulation in Critical Thinking Assessments

2021

Our aim was to explore higher education students’ response and self-regulatory processes plus the relationship between these, as evidenced in two types of performance-based critical thinking tasks included in the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International instrument.

Overall, the performance task evoked more holistic processes than the selected-response questions, in which students’ processes were more question-oriented. The results also indicated the entanglement of students’ response and …
