Female survivors’ experiences of authorities’ actions in cases of partner stalking

2020

Previous studies have shown that civil authorities fail to understand the nature of stalking and the harmful consequences it causes victims. The aim of this study was to investigate how the victims of partner stalking had perceived the actions of civil authorities and the stalking investigation process. The data were drawn from conversations among members of an internet-based peer support group for female victims of partner stalking. We identified four main categories of victims’ experiences pertaining to authorities’ actions and the investigation process: authorities’ problems in dealing with stalking, dissatisfaction with the investigation process, trust in the authorities and expectation…

Using Slack for computer-mediated communication to support higher education students’ peer interactions during Master’s thesis seminar

2018

Our study contributes to the research on computer-mediated communication in higher education by experimenting a modern communication tool called Slack. In particular, we consider using Slack to support students’ peer interactions during Master’s thesis work. For this purpose, we designed a case study that was executed in a Master’s thesis seminar course. During the course, all out-of-class communication was carried out by using Slack, instead of e-mails or learning management systems. After the course, we used a questionnaire to investigate how the students perceived Slack for asking for assistance, their intention to use Slack, and Slack’s ease of use. Furthermore, the questionnaire asked …

Can peer-tutored psychological flexibility training facilitate physical activity among adults with overweight?

2021

Objective An increase in psychological flexibility has been found to be associated with health behavior changes. Peer-led interventions have been advantageous in improving physical activity among individuals at health risk. This study aimed to discover whether an ACT-based peer-tutored online intervention can increase self-reported physical activity participation and psychological flexibility among adults with overweight. Design The study was a non-randomized longitudinal intervention study. The intervention participants (N = 177) were primary health care clients with overweight. They participated in a 24-month program provided by health services, including three online modules of ACT of si…

Murtumatta mukana - lujuutta liikkumalla : liikuntaryhmiin osallistumisen yhteys ryhmäläisten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen, fyysiseen toimintakykyyn ja t…

2016

Tarkoitus: Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko Murtumatta mukana – lujuutta liikkumalla – vertaiskoulutettujen ohjaajien ohjaamiin vertaisliikuntaryhmiin osallistumisella yhteyttä ryhmäläisten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen, fyysiseen toimintakykyyn ja tasapainoon. Menetelmät: Tutkimusasetelma oli havainnoiva poikkileikkausasetelma. Eläkeliiton osoittamat vertaisohjaajat Jyväskylän ja Lapuan alueella tiedottivat tutkimuksesta ja jakoivat kysely-lomakkeita tutkimuksesta kiinnostuneille vertaisliikuntaryhmäläisille. Tutkimuskyselyitä pa-lautui 100 kpl, joista muodostettiin 6kk liikuntaryhmässä mukana olleiden (N=57) ryhmät. Lisäksi vapaaehtoisille halukkaille (N=62) tehtiin tasapain…

Yhteisöllisyys ihanteena, vertaistuki voimavarana : opiskelijoiden käsityksiä yhteisöllisestä oppimisesta yliopistossa

2011

Tiivistelmä - Referat – Abstract Tavoitteet Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on yksilöllisen ja yhteisöllisen oppimisen välinen jännite erilaisine oppimisteorioineen. Oppimiskäsitysten tarkastelussa hyödynnettiin muun muassa Tynjälän (1999), Vygotskyn (1982), Laven ja Wengerin (1991) sekä Dillenbourgin (1999) määritelmiä. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tutkia kasvatus- ja yhteiskuntatieteiden opiskelijoiden käsityksiä yhteisöllisestä oppimisesta yliopiston oppimisympäristöissä. Yhteisöllistä oppimista lähestytään yhteisöllisyyden, vertaistuen ja osallistumisen näkökulmista. Oppimista ei tarkastella irrallaan opetuksesta, joten lisäksi tutkitaan yliopisto-opiskelijoiden käsityksiä siitä, mikä on opett…

Older Adults Learning Digital Skills Together: Peer Tutors’ Perspectives on Non-Formal Digital Support

2023

In later life, digital support is predominantly received outside of formal education from warm experts such as children, grandchildren, and friends. However, as not everyone can rely on this kind of informal help, many older adults are at risk of being unwillingly left without digital support and necessary digital skills. In this article, we examine non-formal digital support and peer tutoring as a way to promote digital and social inclusion through the acquisition of necessary digital skills. First, we ask: (a) What is peer tutoring, in the field of digital training, from the peer tutors’ point of view? Then, based on the first research question, we further ask (b) what are the key charact…

‘I’m a foreign teacher’: legitimate positionings in the stories of a migrant teacher

2022

This qualitative study examines one migrant teacher’s identity positions in the context of a peer mentoring group setting in Finland. Combining theories of legitimacy and teacher narratives, this study asked which positions were available and legitimate for a migrant teacher. The analysis of three of the stories the teacher (‘Ji Yoo’) shared was inspired by Barkhuizen’s three-step framework for examining positioning in teacher narratives. Findings showed that Ji Yoo’s most legitimate positions were being ‘foreign’, novice teacher, cultural broker, and expert teacher, the latter two being the least frequent and least explicit ones. The authors suggest that migrant teachers’ struggles of havi…

Investigating the direct and indirect effects of a school-based leadership program for primary school students: Rationale and study protocol for the …

2023

Background Leadership is a valuable skill that can be taught in school, and which may have benefits within and beyond the classroom. Learning to Lead (L2L) is a student-led, primary school-based leadership program whereby older ‘peer leaders’ deliver a fundamental movement skills (FMS) program to younger ‘peers’ within their own school. Aim The aims of the study are to determine the efficacy of a peer-led FMS intervention on: (i) peer leaders’ (aged 10 to 12 years) leadership effectiveness (primary outcome), leadership self-efficacy, well-being, and time on-task in the classroom; (ii) peers’ (aged 8 to 10 years) physical activity levels, actual and perceived FMS competency, cardiorespirato…
