Enhancing Digital Skills of Early Childhood Teachers Through Online Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math Training Programs in Estonia

2022

Teacher professional development programs, including mid- and long-term Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math (STEAM) courses, have recently moved from in person learning at university premises to an online environment. Whether it is a temporary change in learning methods caused by the COVID-19 restrictions or whether it will become a new normal is currently under discussion in many teacher training institutions around the world. The aim of this study was to design and implement time- and money-saving synchronous online teacher training format for conducting co-design courses for early childhood teachers in the theme of STEAM integrated learning activities. Based on Tallinn University…

Inspiraatio ja luovuus nuorten verkkokirjoittajaryhmässä

2017

Tutkimukseni tarkoitus on selvittää, voiko multimodaalisten menetelmien käyttäminen auttaa nuoria saavuttamaan inspiraation ja luovuuden tilan sekä edistää heidän tarinoiden kirjoittamisen harrastamistaan. Yhdistän tutkimuksessa digitaalisuuden ja luovan kirjoittamisen suunnittelemalla multimodaalisuutta hyödyntävän luovan kirjoittamisen verkkokurssin mallin ja toteuttamalla testikurssin varhaisnuorten ryhmälle. Aineistonani ovat tutkimukseni kirjallisena osuutena toimiva työpäiväkirja ja siihen kirjaamani havainnot tutkimuskohteesta sekä kurssille osallistujien kanssa eri kanavien kautta tapahtunut vuorovaikutus. Tutkimukseni tuottaa uutta tietoa mobiililaitteiden käyttäjien subjektiviteet…

Digital Education For All: Multi-University Study of Increasing Competent Student Admissions at Scale

2022

An indubitable way to put learning at scale in practice is to implement Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. When a wide-enough portfolio of them is available, new applications arise. For instance, university admissions in Finland, where this study was conducted, have traditionally been based on students' grades in high school studies, an entrance examination, or a combination of both. A minority of students have been accepted through an open university admission path where students can get a study right if they complete enough university course credits with a high enough grade in a given time frame. In this work, we report results from a multi-university project in which the open univers…

Designing for virtual mobility: Potentials and caveats

2019

This paper reflects on the joint pilot development and implementation of an international master level online course in Educational Design by three universities from different European countries. The pilot targeted curriculum internationalization and provision of international learning experiences to students with less mobility opportunities through online learning and use of technology. The key focus was on connecting students from different countries by collaborative learning and working on an authentic task in the professional domain of their study - educational media design - via a joint platform and digital media. In small international groups, students collaboratively developed mobile…

Exploring Gameful Motivation of Autonomous Learners

2022

In this explorative study, we investigated motives of autonomous learners to participate in an online course, and how these motives are related to gameplay motivations, engagement in the course experience, and learning outcomes. The guiding premise for the study has been the idea that learning and game playing carry phenomenal similarities that could be revealed by scrutinizing motives for participating in a massive open online course that does not involve any intentionally game-like features. The research was conducted by analyzing survey data (N = 705) collected from individuals who had voluntarily participated in an open online course about artificial intelligence and its societal impact…

DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING A BIG OPEN ONLINE COURSE BY USING A 3D VIRTUAL IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT – LESSONS LEARNED

2017

Open Education (OE) is a distance learning approach that was strategically chosen by the European Commission (EC) to encourage cost-effective training, upskilling and reskilling of large population groups and workforce with speed and flexibility. Institutions and businesses design and offer Open Online Courses (OOCs) to address skill gaps, organizational and societal needs. OOCs and especially Massive OOCs (MOOCs) are suffering from high rates of attrition, which is attributed to various factors such as learner isolation and lack of motivation to complete the course. Recommendations to address the retention gap in MOOCs include adopting a participation-driven approach, using game design tec…

Temporal perspective on the gender-related differences in online learning behaviour

2022

Although several studies suggested considering gender in online learning, the literature about how male and female students would behave is fragmented. Little attention has been paid to the effect of gender on online learning behavioural patterns. This study aimed at investigating the roles of gender in online learning behaviours by analyzing the gender-related differences of students’ online learning behavioural patterns. We used the case study approach with descriptive statistical analysis, lag sequential analysis, and temporal log data analysis to investigate gender-related differences in students’ online learning behaviours. The results indicated no significant difference in the counts …

Opiskelijoiden verkko-oppimisympäristössä antamat vertaispalautteet tarkastelussa : mitä opittavaa tieteellisen kirjoittamisen ohjaamiselle?

2020

Jyväskylän yliopiston avoimessa yliopistossa on useamman vuoden ajan kehitetty vertaisarviointia ja sen ohjausta osana verkko-opetusta. Olemme jatkaneet vertaispalautetoiminnan kehittämistä tutkimalla, millaista opiskelijoiden kirjoittama vertaispalaute sisällöllisesti on. Kirjoituksessa kuvaamme avoimen yliopiston opiskelijoiden antamien kirjallisten vertaispalautteiden sisältöä ja palautteen muotoa kahdella aineopintotasoisella verkkokurssilla, joissa harjoitellaan tieteellistä kirjoittamista. Pohdimme myös, miten opettajat voisivat ohjata opiskelijoita monipuoliseen palautteenantoon. Luokittelimme opiskelijoiden palautteet evaluaatioihin, muutosehdotuksiin, kysymyksiin ja kommentteihin. …
