The changing paradigm of document delivery : exploring researchers’ peer to peer practices

2016

Purpose By definition, interlibrary lending is a process involving two libraries. The digital revolution changed the method by which the scientific documents were disseminated during the past couple of decades. Nowadays, researchers can exploit several software applications that enable them to upload, save and deliver their documents from one peer to another without the need for a middle man. This paper reviews this change via a study conducted in two Finnish academic universities. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which researchers have adopted these new possibilities for document dissemination and how this change will affect the role of the libraries in document delive…

Towards sustainable farming practices and food security: study about vulnerability of Finnish farms

2017

The aim of this paper is to discuss food security in the context of sustainable farming practices in Finland. There are two research questions: 1) How are the Finnish farms vulnerable from the viewpoint of food security? 2) How could they increase their resilience for guaranteeing food security in the future? The paper is based on a qualitative study for which 15 Finnish food system specialists were interviewed in 2015. According to the results, three types of vulnerabilities are discovered: 1) market vulnerabilities, 2) continuity of farms, and 3) environment changes. For reducing vulnerabilities, the re-evaluation of policy instruments is needed. At the same time, new knowledge and skills…

Bodily Practices in Action Formation and Ascription in Multilingual Interaction: Introduction to the Special Issue.

2022

This special issue brings together empirical studies that investigate how bodily practices feature in action formation and action ascription in multilingual interaction (Schegloff, 2007; Levinson, 2013). Grounded in video-based conversation analysis and drawing on data from diverse sociomaterial settings, the articles investigate the contingent interactional processes through which speakers from different language backgrounds accomplish actions and achieve intersubjectivity. They demonstrate how specific constellations of linguistic resources, bodily conduct, spatial configurations, and material ecology are built into accomplishment of actions at different levels of interactional organizati…

Russian-speaking immigrant teachers in Finnish classrooms : Views and lived experiences in Finnish education

2017

Success of integration depends, amongst other things, on immigrants’ involvement in the host country’s education. Educational differences between home and host countries can either promote or hinder academic progress of immigrants and, consequently, overall process of their integration. The goal of this study is to investigate what effect differences between educational systems of Finland and neighbouring Russia may have on professional induction of Russian-speaking immigrant teachers in Finland. This is done through researching experiences of Russian-speaking teachers in Finnish education. Their views and interpretations of their own eligibility and Finnish schooling practices lay foundati…

I paradigmi scientifici della ricerca didattica

2022

The initial positivist paradigm, derived from experimental medicine and experimental psychology, is followed by the empirical research in the didactic field, the phenomenological and the constructivist one. More recently the action research paradigm and evidence-based experimentation have been arisen. The great distinction that should be made today, as regards empirical research in the didactic field, is between the paradigms of reduction and the paradigms of complexity. The reflection on the degree of knowability of teaching practices focuses on some questions: is it pos- sible to identify similarities and coefficients between the results of research on the same theme but carried out in di…

"Yksilöllistä huomiota arkisissa tilanteissa" : päiväkodin toimintakulttuurin kehittäminen lasten itsetuntoa vahvistavaksi

2007

Itsetunnon perustaa rakennetaan päiväkoti-iässä. Päivi Koiviston tutkimus yhden päiväkodin toimintakulttuurista osoittaa, että lasten itsetunnon vahvistaminen päiväkodin arjessa on mahdollista, mutta se vaatii kasvattajilta ja koko työyhteisöltä tietoista toimintaa ja uskallusta oman työn kriittiseen arviointiin ja kehittämiseen. Lasten itsetunnon vahvistaminen on vaativa ja moniulotteinen tehtävä. Koivisto kehitti teoriaa ja käytäntöä yhdistäen mallin niistä tekijöistä, jotka osoittautuivat oleellisiksi lasten itsetunnon vahvistamisessa päiväkodin arkipäivän tilanteissa. – Mielenkiintoista oli havaita lasten arvostavan näitä samoja asioita, joihin tutkimuksen aikana yritettiin kiinnittää h…

Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts

2018

International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…
