Computer game as a pragmatic concept : ideas, meanings, and culture
2020
This article discusses the ‘computer game’ as a pragmatic concept. A dual nature of the computer game as both a pragmatic idea and a pragmatic meaning is introduced. Practical meanings of the computer game correspond with the concrete effects that engaging with computer games produces in an individual. Practical ideas of the computer game correspond with the subjectively constituted conceptual families concerning the computer game’s assumed practical meaning. Individual computer games can be considered flat or round depending on the range of their practical meanings. Thus, the article contributes to the study of cultural objects by offering a framework for examining the evolution and existe…
Teachers’ Implicit Meaning Systems and Their Implications for Pedagogical Thinking and Practice: A Case Study from Finland
2016
ABSTRACTThis qualitative case study examines teachers’ implicit meaning systems built around their core beliefs on the malleability of human qualities. Previous research has demonstrated the influence of students’ implicit theories on motivation and achievement and has presented successful interventions for students. However, research on teachers’ implicit theories and, in particular, their actualization in natural environments is lacking. The data for this study include observations and stimulated recall interviews with two Finnish teachers whose opposing implicit theories were first indicated in 2000 by Carol Dweck . The results depict how these teachers’ implicit meaning systems influenc…
The demand for IPR services - to use or not to use a professional representative
2021
We analysed the use of professional representative services and related outcomes in patent, utility model, design right and trademark filings. We found that: 1) there is a positive association between the use of a professional representative and the likelihood of grant or registration; 2) the demand for professional intellectual property rights (IPR) services is heterogeneous between IPR types: applicants are most likely to hire professional representatives (IPR agents and attorneys) for patents, followed by utility models, design rights and trademarks; 3) individual applicants are less likely to use professional representatives compared to firm applicants. peerReviewed
IPR gender gaps: a first look at utility model, design right and trademark filings
2018
This study extends the analysis of the gender gap in patenting into design rights, utility model (UMs) and trademarks (TMs), which are complementary methods for protecting intellectual property. The analysis is descriptive and uses register data from the Finnish patent and registration office covering the years 1982–2013. A persistent gender gap is found for all intellectual property rights. The gap has narrowed over time for national patent, design right and TM filings but not for UM filings. It is found that, in comparison to men, women are relatively less often single inventors or designers and more often members of inventor or designer teams. peerReviewed

APO-opintokokonaisuus pedagogisen merkitysperspektiivin kriittistä reflektiota tukemassa
2009
Tutkimukseni tarkoitus on selvittää millainen aikuiskouluttajan pedagogisten opintojen anti on pedagogisen merkitysperspektiivin kehittymisen näkökulmasta. Arvioin APO -opintojen toteutumista Jack Mezirowin transformatiivisen oppimisteorian näkökulmasta. Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty kyselylomakkeella Jyväskylän yliopiston aikuiskouluttajan pedagogisten opintojen 2006–2007 vuosikurssin opiskelijoilta. Tutkimuskyselyyn vastasi 80/97 opiskelijaa. Kyselylomakkeessa on strukturoituja ja avoimia kysymyksiä. Analyysi on kuvailevaa strukturoitujen kysymysten osalta ja avoimien kysymysten analyysissä menetelmänä on sisällön analyysi. Tutkimukseni tulosten mukaan APO -opintokokonaisuus tarjoaa emansip…
