CONSIDERING VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS’ VIEWS IN THE DESIGN OF A HYBRID STEM LEARNING ENVIRONMENT - PERCEPTIONS FROM FINLAND AND GREECE
2017
Raising young people’s interest in studies and careers related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (i.e., STEM) is an important societal concern both at European and global level. We argue that the creation of attractive and engaging STEM learning environments necessitates involvement of learners, educators, parents, and STEM professionals in their design. In this paper, we will present a study in which primary, lower and upper secondary school students, teachers, school directors, parents, and STEM professionals in Finland (n = 27) and Greece (n = 24) were invited in the participatory co-design of a hybrid (virtual, physical, formal, and informal) STEM learning environment…
Customer Perception Driven Product Evolution - Facilitation of Structured Feedback Collection
2016
Competitive environment not only requires effective advertising strategies from the product producers and service providers, but also to do comprehensive and sufficient analysis of their customers to understand their needs and expectations. Successfully involving customers into a product/service co-creation process, companies more likely increase their future revenue. Customer feedback analysis is widely applied in marketing and product development. Among other challenges (e.g. customer engagement, feedback collection, etc.) automation of customer feedback analysis becomes very demanding task and requires advance intelligent tools to understand customers’ product perception and preferences.…
Changing people’s attitudes and beliefs toward driving through floodwaters : Evaluation of a video infographic
2018
Abstract Despite awareness of campaigns such as ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown’ and the Australian state of Queensland’s ‘If It’s Flooded, Forget It’, people continue to drive through floodwaters, causing loss of life, risk to rescuers, and damage to vehicles. The aim of this study was to develop a video infographic that highlights the dangers of driving through floodwaters and provide safety tips to reduce the risk, and to evaluate its effectiveness in changing the beliefs and intentions of Australian adults toward this risky driving behaviour. This study adopted an online three-wave non-controlled pretest–posttest design. Australian licensed drivers (N = 201, male = 41, female = 160; Mage = 34…

Exploring relations between Big Five personality traits and musical emotions embodied in spontaneous dance
2022
We explored the hypothesis that musical emotions are embodied differentially by people according to their personality. Nine hundred and fifty two individuals completed the Big Five personality inventory. A subset of 60 participants were asked to spontaneously move to 30 short musical stimuli while being recorded with a motion-capture system. The musical stimuli were separately rated for perceived emotions. Embodied musical emotions were evaluated as the correlation between features derived from the motion-capture data and the mean ratings of perceived emotions. Correlations between embodied musical emotions and personality traits provided tentative support for our hypothesis. A series of l…
Role of odorant-binding proteins in Drosophila melanogaster chemosensory perception
2019
Chemoperception is used by animals to detect nutritive food and avoid toxic compounds. It also allows animals to identify suitable ecological niche and mating partners. Like many other insects, Drosophila melanogaster possesses a very sensitive chemosensory ability and can detect and discriminate a wide panel of semiochemicals. Chemosensory detection is mostly mediated by olfactory and gustatory systems involving several multigene chemoreceptor families. Volatile and non-volatile chemical compounds entering the sensory organ (sensillum) must be solubilized before being transported through the hydrophilic sensillum lymph bathing the dendrites of chemosensory neurons. These perireceptor event…
Influencia del docente y la docente, la metodología y el contenido de las clases de educación física en la percepción de estudiantado chileno
2021
Resumen Introducción. La relevancia de la educación en la sociedad actual es evidente, por ello, es de vital importancia conocer la percepción de los diversos actores que interactúan en esta, en particular, la del estudiantado sobre las metodologías y contenidos que ofrece el profesorado es determinante en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Objetivo. Conocer la percepción que reportan estudiantes de tres centros educativos de la región de Valparaíso (Chile), en relación con la satisfacción por las actividades deportivas, la clase de educación física y la función del personal docente. Metodología. Se utilizó una escala de 12 ítems agrupadas en tres dimensiones. Se aplicó una escala de perc…
Teaching foreign language to the elderly : teachers perceptions
2009
Väestön ikääntymisen myötä eläkeikäisten ihmisten rooli on noussut tärkeään asemaan myös vieraiden kielten oppimisessa ja opetuksessa. Ikääntyneitä oppijoita on kuitenkin tutkittu Suomessa vielä valitettavan vähän. Poikkeuksena mainittakoon Aino Jaatisen (2003) paljolti omaksi avukseen laatima tutkimus ikääntyneistä englannin oppijoista, jota on käytetty pohjakirjallisuutena myös tässä tutkielmassa. Tämän proseminaarityön päämääränä on ollut kartoittaa vieraiden kielten opettajien havaintoja iäkkäistä oppijoista sekä heidän mahdollisesti käyttämiä opetusmetodejaan. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin kyselylomakkeen avulla, johon vastasi kuusi opettajaa. Tutkimustulokset osoittivat, että opettajat …
Attitudes, Sentiments, and Concerns About Inclusive Education of Teachers and Teaching Students in Spain.
2020
The Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns About Inclusive Education Revised scale was developed to close the existing gap in measuring perceptions of inclusive education in the educative context. It has been widely used in other cultures but not in Spain. Our objective has been to analyze the psychometric properties in the Spanish sample by studying their relationship with empathy and social dominance variables, finally taking into account sociodemographic variables to observe if there are differences. The scale was applied to a total of 647 subjects: 323 university-students (18–45 years) and 324 in-service teachers (35–58 years). The scale showed psychometric properties suitable for the gene…
Students with specific language impairment in English education : English and special education teachers' perceptions
2016
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää englannin opettajien ja erityisopettajien kokemuksia englannin opettamisesta oppilaille, joilla on kielellinen erityisvaikeus (aikaisemmin dysfasia, englanniksi specific language impairment). Tätä aihetta on tutkittu Suomessa hyvin vähän, mutta maailmanlaajuisesti aiheesta löytyy joitakin tutkimuksia (ks. esim. Malinen ym. 2013, Dockrell ja Lindsay 2001 & Brackenreed 2010). Kielellisestä erityisvaikeudesta on saatavilla runsaasti tutkimusta ja tietoa, mutta opettajien opetuskokemuksista sitä löytyy huomattavasti vähemmän. Aihe on kiinnostava, koska noin 7 prosenttia lapsista kärsii kielellisestä erityisvaikeudesta, mikä on enemmän kuin esimerkiksi ADHD:…
