Young children in day and night care : negotiating and constructing belonging during daily arrivals
2016
The paper aims at understanding the processes related to young children's belonging during daily arrivals at day and night care. Two aspects of a child's belonging are considered: membership and sense of belonging. Data were gathered by ethnographic observation of 8 children aged from 20 to 36 months in two Finnish day care centres offering day and night care. Arrival episodes taking place at different times of day were analysed qualitatively based on the children's actions and expressions. During these episodes, the children negotiated and constructed their belonging by interacting with adults, peers and material objects. These interactions took place within varying social and material sur…

‘More homework for me, too’. Meanings of differentiation constructed by elementary-aged students in classroom interaction
2012
Although the necessary role of differentiation in special education is well established in the literature, little is known about its social and peer interaction implications from the student perspective. The present qualitative study aims at offering detailed observational analyses of the meanings that 7- to 9-year-old students give to differentiated instruction in its initial phases in authentic classroom activities. The results were yielded from an ethno–methodological conversation analysis of the video-recordings of authentic classroom situations in a part-time Finnish special education setting (N = 12 lessons). The results revealed that whilst differentiation as a pedagogical solution s…

"I ate an apple today" : suitability of Facebook posts and reactions to norm violations
2015
Facebook on yksi maailman suosituimmista sosiaalisista verkostoitumissivuista. Käyttäjät esiintyvät Facebookissa pääsääntöisesti omilla nimillään, kirjoittavat lyhyitä tekstejä verkostolleen ja jakavat muuta materiaalia avoimesti. Facebookia ja sosiaalista mediaa on tutkittu paljon erilaisista näkökulmista, mutta Facebookiin kirjoituksen aiheista ei ole paljoa tutkimusta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää mistä aiheista ihmiset kirjoitavat Facebookiin, mitä aiheita välttävät, mitä aiheita pitävät täysin sopimattomina ja miten he reagoivat epäsopiviin kirjoituksiin. Näitä kysymyksiä varten suoritettiin verkko-kysely, jossa kysyttiin avoimesti vastauksia näihin kysymyksiin. Vastaaj…
