Sustainable practices for using digital technology in informal workplace learning
The negative effects of digital technology and the continuously growing learning demands related to work can pose burdens on the workforce. In this article, we explore how these challenges are related to informal workplace learning. We build on the concept of sustainable learning, aiming to outline what sustainability means in the context of using digital technology in informal workplace learning. We used digital ethnography to study the use of d…
Making the Invisible Visible
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…
Being an ethnographic researcher in a modern workplace
Purpose As digitalization changes work and organizations, the ethnographic research field and fieldwork become more complex. 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…
Meaningful learning over the course of teacher education
In teacher education (TE), meaningful learning (ML) allows pre-service teachers (PSTs) to understand both the content and how they construct their own learning. However, limited research explores these students' experiences of meaningful learning over the course of TE. This study examines 223 PSTs' reflections on meaningful learning during a 5-year master's program in Finland. Situational analysis, including situational, social world/arenas, and …
“Anything taking shape?” Capturing various layers of small group collaborative problem solving in an experiential geometry course in initial teacher education
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is widely recognized as a prominent 21st-century skill to be mastered. Until recently, research on CPS has often focused on problem solution by the individual; the interest in investigating how the theorized problem-solving constructs function as broader social units, such as pairs or small groups, is relatively recent. Capturing the complexity of CPS processes in group-level interaction is challenging. Therefo…
How pre-service teachers perceive their 21st-century skills and dispositions
Research-based discussions about 21st-century skills are currently needed; 21st-century skills refer to skills that today's students are expected to possess for successful future careers. The ways students perceive these skills or what kind of dispositions they have in this regard are significant. This paper provides an overview of the development of pre-service teachers' perceived 21st-century skills and dispositions. The quantitative data was c…
Virtual Reality in Education
Cognitive and emotional dimensions are often linked to each other in learning experiences. Moreover, emotions and engagement can lead to better outcomes at the cognitive level. Previous research has indicated that virtual reality (VR) provides a feeling of presence and immersion, which can trigger emotionally engaging learning situations. In this study, we explore the opportunities and challenges related to the use of VR in an educational context…
