Is it a tool or a toy? How user's conception of a system’s purpose affect their experience and use

2019

The boundary between hedonic and utilitarian information systems has become increasingly blurred during recent years due to the rise of developments such as gamification. Therefore, users may perceive the purpose of the same system differently, ranging from pure utility to pure play. However, in literature that addresses why people adopt and use information systems, the relationship between the users conception of the purpose of the system, and their experience and use of it has not yet been investigated. Therefore, in this study we investigate the interaction effects between users’ utility-fun conceptions of the system and the perceived enjoyment and usefulness from its use, on their post-…

To Gamify or Not to Gamify? : Gamification in Exercise Applications and Its Role in Impacting Exercise Motivation

2016

Gamification and different exercise applications have become increasingly popular in recent years. The common purpose of gamification is to enhance one’s motivation and engagement to certain activities. Gamification has been commonly understood as the use of game elements in non-game context. In this paper, we propose a divide between the process and the experience of gamification. This paper is the first to propose such division and the results demonstrate its necessity. Gamification exists also in many exercise applications. The purpose of this study is to explore how the use of an exercise application affects users’ exercise motivation and behaviour by concentrating especially on the rol…

"Let's do this together and see what we can come up with!" : Teachers' Views on Applying Game-based Pedagogy in Meaningful Ways

2015

Game-based pedagogy offers a promising approach to renewing school education and making it more engaging. However, teachers’ ways of using game-based pedagogy have been rather traditional, not making use of its full potential. This paper presents initial findings on the experiences of teachers who participate in a project that aims to promote the meaningful use of game-based pedagogy. The findings suggest that game-based pedagogy could indeed play a key role in changing traditional practices in schools. Game-based approaches can support differentiated instruction, enhance pupils’ motivation and effort, provide new perspectives to assessment, and transform traditional roles in the classroom …

What’s the name of the game? : Historiallinen empatia ja pelillisyys historian opetuksessa

2019

Historian opetuksen yhteydessä on viimeisten kahden vuosikymmenen aikana puhuttu erityisesti opetuksen suuntaamisesta sisältöjen opettamisesta historian taitojen ja demokraattisena kansalaisena toimimisen suuntaan. Tavoitteet edellyttävät myös käytäntöjen muuttumista. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan lukion historian opetusta opetuskokeilun kautta. Kokeilussa hyödynnettiin pelillisyyttä sekä historiallista empatiaa. Kahdeksan tuntia kestäneen pelin aikana opiskelijoiden tehtävänä oli konstruoida tietoa vuonna 1957 tapahtuneesta ampumavälikohtauksesta presidentin kesäasunnolla Kultarannassa. Aineisto kerättiin opetuskokeilun yhteydessä (N = 30 lukiolaista) kyselylomakkeen ja haastattelun avu…

Nykypäivänä urheilu- ja hyvinvointiteknologiayritykset muodostavat kansainvälisesti merkittävän kokoluokan markkinan. Alan yritykset ovat keskittyneet liiketoiminnassaan esimerkiksi anturi- ja sensoriteknologioiden tarjoamiin mahdollisuuksiin, älypuhelinsovelluksiin ja tietokoneohjelmistoihin sekä eleohjaukseen, digitaalisiin pintoihin ja tekoälyyn perustuviin liikkumisympäristöihin. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, mitkä makrotason muutosajurit ovat tehneet toimialasta Suomessa sellaisen kuin se tänä päivänä on. Samalla luodaan katsaus suomalaisten urheilu- ja hyvinvointiteknologia-alan yritysten ominaispiirteisiin. peerReviewed

Lastenkirjallisuuden digitalisoituminen : leikillisyys ja pelillisyys lastenkirjasovelluksissa

2017

There is an increasing amount of digital literature for children, which has mainly gone undetected by literary studies. It is worth noting how many functionalities in digital literature, considered as novelties not present in print literature, have actually been employed in children’s literature (pop-up books, books with audio-extensions etc.) for a long time. During the past decade, tablet devices, especially, have been employed as platforms for children’s digital literature, which takes advantage of their touch screens, audio-visual capabilities and computing power. These literary apps, as well as various augmented books, follow many of the traditional traits of children’s literature, but…
