Visual accounts of Finnish and Greek teenagers’ perceptions of their multilingual language and literacy practices
2017
AbstractThis paper uses visual methods to explore how teenagers in two different European countries (Finland and Greece) personally relate to their first language and to English, which is widely used in the everyday lives of young people in both countries. Our data comprise sets of self-made visualizations in which 14- to 16-year-old teenagers depict their personal relationship to their first language (Finnish/Greek) and to English. Theoretically and methodologically, we subscribe to socio-culturally oriented research on (foreign language) literacy and language learning and recent studies on multilingualism. Overall, by offering a detailed account of the variety of representation forms and …

What does it mean to be visually literate? Examination of visual literacy definitions in a context of higher education
2018
Full Article Figures & data References Citations Metrics Reprints & Permissions Get access Abstract Competency in visual literacy (VL) is crucial for effective visual communication, and thus for living and working in a visually saturated environment. However, VL across disciplines is still marginalized in higher education curricula. This tendency is partly caused by the lack of knowledge and agreement on what it means to be visually literate. This study juxtaposes and evaluates 11 VL definitions, selected as the most relevant for higher education practitioners and coined from 1969 (the first one) to 2013 (the most recent one). The study further proposes three lists of VL skills with themati…
Typical and Atypical Development of Visual Expertise for Print as Indexed by the Visual Word N1 (N170w) : A Systematic Review
2022
The visual word N1 (N170w) is an early brain ERP component that has been found to be a neurophysiological marker for print expertise, which is a prelexical requirement associated with reading development. To date, no other review has assimilated existing research on reading difficulties and atypical development of processes reflected in the N170w response. Hence, this systematic review synthesized results and evaluated neurophysiological and experimental procedures across different studies about visual print expertise in reading development. Literature databases were examined for relevant studies from 1995 to 2020 investigating the N170w response in individuals with or without reading disor…

A competent participant in the new media landscape: Promoting an interdisciplinary perspective
2016
Dynamic changes in media technology, society, media consumption and the economy affect the media landscape as well as the role and status of media users who are no longer passive receivers, but active media participants, and thus need to develop appropriate competence areas. We argue that using an interdisciplinary perspective within communication and journalism studies is necessary to address the scope of challenges that new media users are facing. Hence, we propose a palette of competence areas to be achieved, which would include intercultural communication, interpersonal communication and a basic knowledge of ethics, visual literacy, and source criticism abilities. While we understand th…
Interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education
2016
Images are produced, used and distributed on an enormous scale. However, the skills of understanding, interpreting and using images as well as thinking and learning in terms of images are taken for granted, and thus, they are not sufficiently taught and developed, especially in higher education. The need for introducing visual literacy into the curriculum was identified in late 1960s, but no concrete guidelines have followed. This study proposes to apply interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education. The main focus is on the image interpretation process and the kinds of meanings viewers apply to a photograph in the interpretation process. In each o…
Verettömät vaalit? : kevään 2007 eduskuntavaalien mainonnan analyysi
2008
Pro gradu käsittelee kevään 2007 eduskuntavaalien mainontaa. Työssä käsitellään kolmen suurimman puolueen, Suomen Keskustan, Suomen Sosiaalidemokraattisen puolueen ja Kansallisen Kokoomuksen, vaalimainontaa. Puolueilta on valittu sekä televisiomainontaa että ulko- ja/tai lehtimainontaa. Mukaan on otettu myös SAK:n tekemä äänestysaktiivisuuskampanja, joka nivoutui kansalaisten mielessä SDP:tä tukevaksi mainonnaksi. Vaalimainonta on muuttunut eduskunnan 100-vuotisen historian aikana paljon. Naisten mukaantulo politiikkaan, teknologian kehittyminen ja uusi perustuslaki ovat muokanneet vaalikampanjointia historian saatossa. Vuonna 2007 käytiin toiset pääministerivaalit. Nämä vaalit erosivat ede…
VTS ja visuaalinen lukutaito : yhdysvaltalaisten käyttäjien näkemyksiä visuaalisesta lukutaidosta ja sen merkityksistä VTS-menetelmän osana
2016
Tämän tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, millä tavalla VTS-menetelmän käyttäjät käsitteellistävät ja merkityksellistävät visuaalista lukutaitoa menetelmän käytössään. Tutkimuksen kohteena ovat seitsemän yhdysvaltalaisen luokanopettajan ja menetelmän kehittäjän näkemykset visuaalisesta lukutaidosta ja sen merkityksistä. Tutkimus kiinnittyy laadullisen tutkimuksen metodologiaan: aineiston keruu tehtiin puolistrukturoidulla kyselylomakkeella ja analyysi toteutettiin aineistolähtöisesti käyttäen sisällönanalyysia ja fenomenografiaa. Käyttäjien mukaan visuaalinen lukutaito on erilaisen, ajan myötä monimutkaistuvan visuaalisen materiaalin lukemista ja siitä kirjoittamista. Käyttäjien visuaalises…
Visual Literacy From the Perspective of the VTS Method
2017
The purpose of this article is to investigate visual literacy from the perspective of the VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) method. The authors examine the viewpoints of seven American elementary school teachers on visual literacy and its meanings in the context of the VTS method. Data collection was done using a semi-structured questionnaire, which was followed by theory-driven content analysis. The authors emphasize that when supporting holistic development in a teaching context, it is the interconnected nature of aesthetics, growth and the learner’s learning which is more important than developing special skills, like visual literacy. In the teaching context visual literacy and language d…
