Sana-assosiaatioverkkojen koheesion yhteys ryhmädynamiikkaan
2016
Tässä pilottitutkimuksessa selvitettiin sana-assosiaatioiden koheesiota ryhmissä. Tarkoituksena oli selvittää, löytyykö yhtenäisyyttä ryhmän keskinäisen toimeen tulemisen välillä ja sen suhteen, kuinka ryhmät assosioivat sanoja. Assosiaatioiden koheesion mittaamisessa käytettiin pohjatietona muistiteorioita ja verkkoteoriaa. Koehenkilöt olivat Jyväskylän yliopistossa järjestetyn kurssin oppilaita, jotka jakaantuivat ryhmiin. Kurssin aluksi ensimmäiset assosiaatiotehtävät teetettiin oppilailla. Kurssin loputtua he tekivät kaksi uutta tehtävää sekä ensimmäiset tehtävät, jotta osalle tehtävistä saatiin kaksi eri mittauspistettä. Kurssin oppilaat sekä vetäjät täyttivät kurssin loputtua ryhmän k…

Transformative technologies, spatial changes : essays on mobile phones and the Internet
2009
Sakari Taipale tarkastelee väitöskirjassaan sitä, kuinka matkapuhelimen ja internetin käyttö vaikuttaa sosiaalisten tilojen muodostumiseen.Uudet informaatio- ja kommunikaatioteknologiat ovat monipuolistaneet sosiaalisen vuorovaikutuksen muotoja. Matkapuhelimen ja internetin avulla sosiaalisia tiloja, erilaisia toimijoiden yhteenliittymiä, voidaan luoda tietoverkoissa ilman toisten ihmisten fyysistä läsnäoloa. Tämän seurauksena sosiaalisen tilan kahden keskeisen osatekijän, rajojen ja tarkoituksen, välinen suhde on muuttunut. Rajat näyttävät menettäneen suhteellista merkitystään sosiaalisen tilan koossapysyvyyden kannalta, kun taas tilan tarkoituksen merkitys on vahvistunut.- Verkkoympäristö…

Vocational Education and Training Institutions' Collaboration with the World of Work from the Perspective of Actor Networks and Ecosystems of Learning
2018
Vocational and professional education institutions, as well as higher education institutions, are more and more expected to collaborate with the world of work and each other. At the same time, the boundaries of organisations have become somewhat blurred. Employers may be subcontractors for a larger firm or subdivisions of an enterprise (organisation) may serve their headquarters through digital connections on the other side of the globe. As a result, the forms and cultures of organisations that educational institutions are expected to collaborate with have become rather complex and difficult to figure out. In order to better understand the complexities of the collaborative practices that ed…
