Designing browsing for in-car music player
2012
User interface features of a touch based mobile music player and their comparative impact on driver distraction when searching music albums were investigated. In a driving simulator experiment (N=18) three scrolling methods buttons, swipe and kinetic were compared, whereat the number of music tracks presented in a list-style format varied between three, five and seven items per page. Half of the participants used the music player in a portrait mode and half of them in a landscape mode. It was expected that swipe supports less severe distraction effects than kinetic or button due to systematic page-by-page scrolling and low levels of pointing accuracy required for browsing. Three items shoul…
Simplicity and the art of something more: A cognitive-semiotic approach to simplicity and complexity in human-technology interaction and design exper…
2018
In human–technology interaction, the balance between simplicity and complexity has been much discussed. Emphasis is placed on the value of simplicity when designing for usability. Often simplicity is interpreted as reductionism, which compromises both the affective nature of the design and usability itself. This paper takes a cognitive–semiotic approach toward understanding the dynamics between the utilitarian benefits of simplicity in design and the art of something more: considerate complexity. The cognitive–semiotic approach to human–technology design experience is a vehicle for explaining the relationship between simplicity and complexity, and this relationship’s multisensory character …
Visual Distraction Effects of In-Car Text Entry Methods
2017
Three text entry methods were compared in a driving simulator study with 17 participants. Ninety-seven drivers’ occlusion distance (OD) data mapped on the test routes was used as a baseline to evaluate the methods’ visual distraction potential. Only the voice recognition-based text entry tasks passed the set verification criteria. Handwriting tasks were experienced as the most demanding and the voice recognition tasks as the least demanding. An individual in-car glance length preference was found, but against expectations, drivers’ ODs did not correlate with incar glance lengths or visual short-term memory capacity. The handwriting method was further studied with 24 participants with instru…
Visual understanding of divergence and curl: Visual cues promote better learning
2019
Prior research has shown that students struggle to indicate whether vector field plots have zero or non-zero curl or divergence. In an instruction-based eye-tracking study, we investigated whether visual cues (VC) provided in the vector field plot can foster students’ understanding of these concepts. The VC were only present during instruction and highlighted conceptual information about vector decomposition and partial derivatives. Thirty-two physics majors were assigned to two groups, one was instructed with VC about the problemsolving strategy, and one without. The results show that students in VC-condition performed better, responded with higher confidence, experienced less mental effor…

Moral distress among social workers : the role of insufficient resources
2015
The present study examined moral distress among Finnish social workers and the role of perceived resource insufficiencies in explaining it. The aim was to shed light on this understudied phenomenon in the field of social welfare. The study focused on work-related moral distress, defined as impaired wellbeing that is connected to the continual inability to implement actions that one considers morally appropriate. The survey data were collected with an electronic questionnaire between the years 2011 and 2012. The respondents (n = 817) were social workers in the public social welfare services and the overall response rate was 46.5 per cent. Nearly 11 per cent of the respondents reported experi…
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…
Unitarinat : lasten unien jakamisen ja kertomisen muodot
2016
Tämä pro gradu –tutkielma käsittelee esiopetusikäisten lasten ryhmässä toteutetun taideprojektin aikana esiin nousseita tarinoita unista. Työ pyrkii löytämään vastauksia lasten kerronnan tapoihin ja muotoihin. Työssä keskeiseksi nousee tutkimusta varten kehitetty käsite unitarina. Unitarina on luova- ja kollektiivi-nen prosessi, jonka kautta lapset kertovat tarinoita näkemistään unista monin eri menetelmin. Tutkimus lähestyy kysymyksiä unitarinan synnystä, sen olemuksesta ja tavoista joilla unet tarinallistuvat ja sanallis-tuvat lasten puheessa ja piirustuksissa. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen tutkimus. Siihen osallistui yhteensä 14 lasta. Aineiston keruu to-teutettiin eräässä kaksiki…
Äänioppaiden käyttö Suomen taidemuseoissa ja niiden vaikutus taiteen vastaanottoon
2015
Tarkastelen tutkielmassani äänioppaiden käyttöä Suomen taidemuseoissa. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytän kyselytutkimusta. Siitä saamallani aineistolla kuvaan ääniopastoimintaa taidemuseoissamme. Selvitän myös syitä, miksi ääniopastoimintaa ei museoissa ole aloitettu. Äänioppaista selvitän niiden käyttöaikaa, niiden tehtäviä sekä hyviä ja huonoja kokemuksia niistä. Haluan tietää, onko palautetta äänioppaidenkäyttäjiltä kerätty ja minkälaista saatu palaute on ollut. Olen kiinnostunut, millaisena museoammattilaiset näkevät äänioppaiden tulevaisuuden ja mitä kehitysideoita heillä niiden suhteen on. Haluan myös valottaa tutkimukseni perusilmiötä, taiteen vastaanottoa, omakohtaisen taidenäyttelykäynnin…
Ensimmäiset elämykset : musiikkiin integroitu taidekasvatus osana vauvaperheiden elämää
2010
Tutkimus kohdistuu vauvan ja vanhemman ensimmäisiin yhteisiin musiikki- ja taidekokemuksiin. Laadullinen toimintatutkimus käsittelee neljää eri tapaa toteuttaa musiikin ja muiden taideaineiden integraatiota vauvan ensimmäisen elinvuoden aikana. Kaikkien neljän toimintatapauksen yhteisenä perustekijänä on musiikki, johon liitetään muita taideaineita: tanssia/ liikettä, kuvallista ilmaisua sekä sanataidetta. Tutkimuksen kohderyhminä olivat vauvat ja –vanhemmat Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliiton, Jyväskylän kaupungin Kulttuuriaitan ja Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulun Muskaristudion yllä pitämissä toimintaryhmissä. Näiden lisäksi tarkasteltiin myös vauvaperheille suunnattuja monitaiteellisia esityk…
