Understanding the role of professional learning in teachers’ ICT integration
This study investigates (1) European teachers’ engagement with ICT-related in-service learning activities, (2) practices related to teachers’ emphasis on developing students’ digital information and communication skills (TEDDICS) and their computational thinking skills (TEDCTS), and (3) the explanatory power of two professional learning models for these teaching practices. The first model considers only variables related to the in-service learnin…
What is Digital Parenting? A Mixed-Method Study Exploring Parents’ Views of the Role of Digital Technology in Parenting and Family Interactions
Discovering technology-aided possibilities for automatic analysis of science teacher questions
The research focus on teacher questions is justified by previous research emphasizing the essential role of questions in facilitating meaningful learning in science. Analysis of teacher questions has traditionally been based mainly on manual coding, which is extremely labour intensive. In this study we explore how both machine learning and large language models can be used for this purpose. Whereas machine learning approaches involve supervised t…

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Mentors' Competence Instrument (MCI) was used to collect data in the three Wellbeing Service Counties in Finland. The cross-sect…
Toward closing the zipper
Emerging technologies have the potential to transform education, and individuals with different technological orientations and backgrounds should have equal opportunities to harness the benefits. However, the underlying personal characteristics that potentially contribute to differences in technology adoption beyond the issues of technology access and skills have received less attention, especially in a context where access to technology and the …
Exploring interconnections between communicative activities, situational stress reactions and cognitive engagement in undergraduate mathematics lesson
The aim of this study was to explore the interconnections between communicative activities, situational stress reactions, and cognitive engagement in undergraduate mathematics lessons. The multimodal data consisted of video recordings of the lesson and cardiac physiological measurements of students. Whereas situational stress levels sustained higher during individual students’ presentation turns, in-depth moment-by-moment analysis of selected cri…

Managers’ sociocognitive conflicts in collaborative learning
Despite extensive research on collaborative learning and sociocognitive conflict, its impact on executive education and managers’ learning is less understood. This study addresses this gap by identifying the manifestations and topics of verbalised sociocognitive conflicts and reflective collaborative discussions in managers’ collaborative small-group learning settings. The research material comprises approximately 40.5 hours of video recordings f…
Digital work practices that promote informal workplace learning
Informal workplace learning is an essential part of lifelong learning. In recent years, digital technology has come to play an increasingly important role in enabling informal learning at work through various tools and resources. However, as little empirical research exists on informal learning in this context, more knowledge of digital work practices that promote informal workplace learning is needed. This paper describes a digital ethnography t…
The tempo and presence of university students’ learning across schoolscapes
Although the term schoolscapes often alludes to physical spaces, contemporary schoolscapes not only exist physically but also virtually, requiring students to navigate through different spatialities and temporalities. In this study, we interviewed six Information and Software Engineering university students to explore how tempo and presence converge with learning experiences within physical and virtual schoolscapes. Using thematic analysis, two t…

In this paper, we discuss the advantages and challenges of digital ethnography, drawing on insights from our study. Design/methodology/approach We reflect on our experiences using digital ethnography to study the use of digital technology in informal workplace learning within a knowledge work context. The research topic and…
The effectiveness of personalized technology-enhanced learning in higher education
Understanding and measuring skill gaps in Industry 4.0 — A review
This study utilized a systematic-narrative hybrid strategy to overview the concept of skill gap and its measuring approaches. Using the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic search in January 2023 to retrieve English records from the ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using the keywords “skill gap,” “skill mismatch,” “skill shortage,” “identifying or measuring,” and “Industry 4.0.” In total, 40 articles met our p…
Organizing for collaboration in simulation-based environments
Extant research has identified the significance of technological affordances in computer-supported learning environments. However, until recently, there is scarcely empirical research on affordances for organizing collaboration in these learning environments. To address this gap, this study empirically examines affordances for organizing collaboration in a simulation-based learning environment. We focus, in particular on understanding how the org…
Capturing cognitive load management during authentic virtual reality flight training with behavioural and physiological indicators
Teachers’ problem-solving skills in technology-rich environments
This study focuses on the problem solving skills in technology-rich environments of teachers. PIAAC (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) data on adults’ (n = 11,294) competencies, is used to investigate how problem solving skills of teachers are associated with sociodemographic, work-related, and everyday-life related background factors. In addition, the problem solving skills in technology-rich environments of teach…
Student-centredness in physics laboratory teaching sessions
There is a call for more interactive and student-centred pedagogy in higher education. This also concerns physics laboratory work, where student investigations are too often passive repetitions of close-ended tasks with little guidance from teaching assistants. To address this gap, a laboratory course was designed to enhance active student participation and interaction between students and teaching assistants. A seminal part of the course was the…
The focus and timing of gaze matters
Although eye tracking has been successfully used in science education research, exploiting its potential in collaborative knowledge construction has remained sporadic. This article presents a novel approach for studying collaborative knowledge construction in a simulation-based environment by combining both the spatial and temporal dimensions of eye-tracking data with video data. For this purpose, we have investigated two undergraduate physics st…
