Les 21, 22 et 23 septembre 2006, le Département d’Études Françaises de l’Université de Turku (Finlande) a organisé une conférence internationale et bilingue (anglais et français) sur le thème de la mobilité académique ; le but de cette rencontre était de rendre possible la tenue d’un forum international et multidisciplinaire, susceptible d’être le siège de divers débats entre les différents acteurs de la mobilité académique (c’estàdire des étudiants, des chercheurs, des personnels enseignants et administratifs, etc.). Ainsi, ont été mis à contribution plus de cinquante intervenants, (tous issus de domaines aussi variés que la linguistique, les sciences de l’éducation, la didactique, l’anthropologie, la sociologie, la psychologie, l’histoire, la géographie, etc.) ainsi que cinq intervenants renommés1. La plupart des thèmes traités durant la conférence couvraient les champs suivants : l’organisation de la mobilité, les obstacles rencontrés par les candidats à la mobilité, l’intégration des étudiants en situation d’échange, le développement des programmes d’études, la mobilité virtuelle, l’apprentissage et l’enseignement des langues, la prise de cosncience interculturelle, le développement des compétences, la perception du système de mobilité académique et ses impacts sur la mobilité effective. L’intérêt du travail réalisé durant la conférence réside notamment dans le fait qu’il ne concentre pas uniquement des perspectives d’étudiants internationaux et en situation d’échange (comme c’est le cas de la plupart des travaux de recherche déjà menés sur ce sujet), mais aussi ceux d’autres corps : enseignants, chercheurs, etc. La contribution suivante contient un premier corpus de dixsept articles, répartis en trois sections : 1. Impacts de la mobilité étudiante ; 2. Formation en langues ; 3. Amélioration de la mobilité académique. À l’image de la conférence, la production qui suit est bilingue : huit des articles sont rédigés en français, et les neuf autres en anglais. Certains auteurs n’ont pas pu assister à la conférence mais ont tout de même souhaité apparaître dans cet ouvrage. Dans la première section de l’ouvrage, Sandrine Billaud tâche de mettre à jour les principaux obstacles à la mobilité étudiante en France (logement, organisation des universités, démarches administratives), et propose à ce sujet quelques pistes d’amélioration. Vient ensuite un article de Dominique Ulma, laquelle se penche sur la mobilité académique régnant au sein des Instituts Universitaires de Formation des Maîtres (IUFM) ; elle s’est tout particulièrement concentrée sur l’enthousiasme des stagiaires visàvis de la mobilité, et sur les bénéfices qu’apporte la mobilité Erasmus à ce type précis d’étudiant. Ensuite, dans un troisième article, Magali Hardoin s’interroge sur les potentialités éducationnelles de la mobilité des enseignantsstagiaires, et tâche de définir l’impact de celleci sur la construction de leur profil professionnel. Après cela arrive un groupe de trois articles, tous réalisés à bases d’observations faites dans l’enseignement supérieur espagnol, et qui traitent respectivement de la portée qu’a le programme de triple formation en langues européennes appliquées pour les étudiants en mobilité (Marián MorónMartín), des conséquences qu’occasionne la présence d’étudiants étrangers dans les classes de traductions (Dimitra Tsokaktsidu), et des réalités de l’intégration sur un campus espagnol d’étudiants américains en situation d’échange (Guadalupe Soriano Barabino). Le dernier article de la section, issu d’une étude sur la situation dans les institutions japonaises, fait état de la situation des programmes de doubles diplômes existant entre des établissements japonais et étrangers, et tente de voir quel est l’impact exact de tels programmes pour les institutions japonaises (Mihoko Teshigawara, Riichi Murakami and Yoneo Yano). La seconde section est elle consacrée à la relation entre apprentissage et enseignement des langues et mobilité académique. Dans un premier article, Martine Eisenbeis s’intéresse à des modules multimédia réalisés à base du film « L’auberge espagnole », de Cédric Klapish (2001), et destinés aux étudiants en mobilité désireux d’apprendre et/ou améliorer leur français par des méthodes moins classiques. Viennent ensuite les articles de Jeanine Gerbault et Sabine Ylönen, lesquels traitent d’un projet européen visant à supporter la mobilité étudiante par la création d’un programme multimédia de formation linguistique et culturelle pour les étudiants en situation de mobilité (le nom du projet est EUROMOBIL). Ensuite, un article de Pascal Schaller s’intéresse aux différents types d’activités que les étudiants en séjour à l’étranger expérimentent dans le cadre de leur formation en langue. Enfin, la section s’achève avec une contribution de Patricia KohlerBally, consacrée à un programme bilingue coordonné par l’Université de Fribourg (Suisse). La troisième et dernière section propose quelques pistes de réflexion destinées à améliorer la mobilité académique des étudiants et des enseignants ; dans ce cadre seront donc évoquées les questions de l’égalité face à la mobilité étudiante, de la préparation nécessitée par celleci, et de la prise de conscience interculturelle. Dans un premier chapitre, Javier Mato et Bego

The purpose of this study was to analyze nursing ethics education from the perspective of nurses’ codes of ethics in the basic nursing education programmes in polytechnics in Finland with the following research questions: What is known about nurses’ codes in practice and education, what contents of the codes are taught, what teaching and evaluation methods are used, which demographic variables are associated with the teaching, what is nurse educators’ adequacy of knowledge to teach the codes and nursing students’ knowledge of and ability to apply the codes, and what are participants’ opinions of the need and applicability of the codes, and their importance in nursing ethics education. The aim of the study was to identify strengths and possible problem areas in teaching of the codes and nursing ethics in general. The knowledge gained from this study can be used for developing nursing ethics curricula and teaching of ethics in theory and practice. The data collection was targeted to all polytechnics in Finland providing basic nursing education (i.e. Bachelor of Health Care). The target groups were all nurse educators teaching ethics and all graduating nursing students in the academic year of 2006. A total of 183 educators and 214 students from 24 polytechnics participated. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire with four open-ended questions, designed for this study. The data was analysed by SPSS (14.0) and the open-ended questions by inductive content analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Inferential statistics were used to estimate the differences between the participant groups. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated with Cronbach’s coefficient alpha. The literature review revealed that empirical research on the codes was scarce, and minimal in the area of education. Teaching of nurses’ codes themselves and the embedded ethical concepts was extensive, teaching of the functions of the codes and related laws and agreements was moderate, but teaching of the codes of other health care professions was modest. Issues related to the nurse-patient relationship were emphasised. Wider social dimensions of the codes were less emphasized. Educators’ and students’ descriptions of teaching emphasized mainly the same teaching contents, but there were statistically significant differences between the groups in that educators assessed their teaching to be more extensive than what students had perceived it had been. T he use of teaching and evaluation methods was rather narrow and conventional. However, educators’ and students’ descriptions of the used methods differed statistically significantly. Students’ knowledge of the codes and their ability to apply them in practice was assessed as mediocre by educators and by students themselves. Most educators assessed their own knowledge of the codes as adequate to teach the codes, as did most of the students. Educators who regarded their knowledge as adequate taught the codes more extensively than those who assessed their knowledge as less adequate. Also students who assessed their educators’ knowledge as adequate perceived the teaching of the codes to be more extensive. Otherwise educators’ and students’ demographic variables had little association with their descriptions of the teaching. According to the participants, nurses need their own codes, and they are also regarded as applicable in practice. The codes are an important element in nursing ethics education, but their teaching needs development. Further research should focus on the organization of ethics teaching in the curricula, the teaching process, and on the evaluation of the effectiveness of ethics education and on educators’ competence. Also the meaning and functions of the codes at all levels of nursing deserve attention. More versatile use of research methods would be beneficial in gaining new knowledge.

Työn tavoitteena on luoda poikkileikkaus ongelmalähtöiseen pedagogiikkaan ja erityisesti sen käyttömahdollisuuksiin Yrityspeli-kurssin opettamisessa oppimislähtöisen opetustavan tukena. Toisena tavoitteena on kurssin pelisovelluksen dokumentointi käyttökelpoiseksi viiteteokseksi. Lopuksi työssä tutkitaan sovelluksen keskeisten parametrien ja pelistrategioiden vaikutusta kysyntään. Ongelmalähtöistä oppimista on tutkittu lähinnä kirjallisuuteen perustuen ja täydennetty tietämystä haastattelututkimuksella. Sovelluksen rakenne on havainnoitu käyttämällä sovellusta. Sovelluksen kriittisiä ominaisuuksia on saatu selville ajamalla sovellusta tarkoitusta varten valikoidulla numeerisella aineistolla. Ongelmalähtöinen pedagogiikka osoittautui soveltuvin osin hyväksi opetusmenetelmäksi Yrityspeli-kurssilla mallintamisen ja käytännön ongelmanratkaisutaitojen kehittämisessä. Kurssin pelisovellus näyttäisi toimivan luotettavasti, tosin se ei ole rakenteeltaan erityisen joustava. Sovelluksen keskeisistä parametreista hinnan vaikutus kysyntään on huomattavasti markkinointipanosta suurempi. Testien mukaan pelissä on mahdollista pärjätä niin kustannusjohtajan kuin hintadifferoijankin strategialla.

Tämä tutkimus käsittelee yrittäjyyskasvatusta Oulun seudun ammattiopistossa. Tutki-muksen tavoitteena on selvittää koetaanko ulkoisen yrittäjyyden opettaminen tärkeäksi ja onko sen integroiminen ammattiaineisiin onnistunut. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään myös opiskelijoiden halukkuutta toimia yrittäjänä tulevaisuudessa työmarkkinoilla sekä miten OSAOn strategiaan kirjatut yrittäjyyden tavoitteet ovat toteutuneet. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu kahdesta keskeisestä käsitteestä: Yrittäjyyskasvatus ja ulkoinen yrittäjyys. Tutkimuksen kohdeorganisaationa oli Oulun seudun ammattiopisto ja tarkemmin 2. ja 3. vuosikurssin opiskelijat ja opetushenkilöstö. Tutkimuksen empiirinen aineisto kerättiin sähköisellä Webropol-ohjelmistolla. Otokseen kuului noin 4000 opiskelijaa ja 577 opettajaa. Tutkimus edustaa kvantitatiivista tutkimusmenetelmää. Tutkimukseen vastasi 568 opiskelijaa ja 239 opettajaa. Tutkimuksen luotettavuuden kannalta määriä voidaan pitää riittävinä. Suurin osa kysymyksistä oli väittämiä, joiden vastausvaihtoehtona käytettiin Likertin viisiportaista asteikkoa. Tutkimuksen eri osiot käsittelivät ulkoisen yrittäjyyden tärkeyttä ammatillisella toisella asteella, yrittäjyyden integroimisen onnistumista ammattiaineisiin, OSAOn ilmapiiriä yrittäjyydestä sekä opiskelijoiden halua työskennellä tulevaisuudessa yrittäjänä. Saatujen vastauksien perusteella ulkoisen yrittäjyyden opettaminen koetaan tärkeäksi ammatillisella toisella asteella. Yrittäjyyden integroimista ammatillisiin aineisiin ei voida pitää täysin onnistuneena ja tähän nousi syyksi tavoitteiden uupuminen tutkinnon perusteissa. OSAOn ilmapiiri koettiin ulkoista yrittäjyyttä tukevaksi. Opiskelijat suhtautuivat myönteisesti siihen, että he voisivat tulevaisuudessa työskennellä yrittäjänä.

Opiskelumotivaatio on monimutkainen käsite, johon vaikuttavat sekä sisäiset että ulkoiset tekijät. Motivaatiota voidaan tarkastella useasta eri näkökulmasta. Työn tarkoituksena on selvittää sähkötekniikan opiskelijoiden motivaation tilanne. Myös opetuksen käytännön tekijöiden vaikutus opiskeluun selvitetään. Työ toteutettiin määrällisenä kyselytutkimuksena; kysely lähetettiin sähkötekniikan opiskelijoille syksyllä 2014. Tuloksia verrattiin lisäksi muihin aihetta käsitteleviin tutkimuksiin. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin sähkötekniikan opiskelijoiden motivaation olevan hyvää tasoa. Sähkötekniikan opetus on yhteisöllistä ja opetushenkilökunta helposti lähestyttävää. Kyselyn vastauksista löytyi joitakin kursseja, joiden suorittaminen on opiskelijoille epämieluisaa. Vastaavasti tietyt kurssit ovat suosittuja suoritustapansa ja arvostelunsa takia. Opiskelumotivaation kannalta havaittiin palautteen ja opintojen tärkeyden kokemisen olevan merkittäviä tekijöitä. Sähkötekniikan opetus vaikuttaisi olevan hieman erilaista kuin muu opetus Lappeenrannan teknillisessä yliopistossa. Käytännön asioiden ja työelämän taitojen opetusta olisi lisättävä.

The rate of adoption and use of learning management systems to support teaching and learning processes in academic institutions is growing rapidly. Universities are acquiring systems with functionalities that can match with their specific needs and requirements. Moodle is one of the most popular and widely deployed learning management systems in academic institutions today. However, apart from the system, universities tend to maintain other applications for the purpose of supplementing their teaching and learning processes. This situation is similar to Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), which is our case study in this project. Apart from Moodle, the university also maintains other systems such as Oodi, Noppa and Uni portal for the purpose of supporting its educational activities. This thesis has two main goals. The first goal is to understand the specific role of Moodle at LUT. This information is fundamental in assessing whether Moodle is needed in the university’s current teaching and learning environment. The second aim is to provide insights to teachers and other departmental stakeholders on how Moodle can provide added value in the teaching of a software development course. In response to this, a Moodle module for a software development course is created and the underlying features are tested. Results of the constructive work proposed some improvements through (i) the use of Moodle for in-class surveys, (ii) transfer of grades from Moodle to Oodi, (iii) use of Moodle in self-study courses and MOOCs, (iv) online examinations, and (v) Moodle integrations with third party applications. The proposed items were then evaluated for their utility through interviews of five expert interviews. The final results of this work are considered useful to LUT administration and management specifically on ways that Moodle can bring changes to the university at managerial, economical and technical level. It also poses some challenges on platform innovations and research.

This Master's thesis studies the development of interaction and socialization in online communities. A large number of online communities fade away even before they really get started. In many occasions the reason is that the community does not give anything new, or even if they do, the delivery does not satisfy the users. In this thesis guidelines were developed to help to see important things, which might be forgotten when developing an online community. The thesis goes through the characteristic of an online community and human behaviour related to them and also compares behaviour in the Internet and real life. In addition, usability is an important part of the online communities and thus it is also covered in this thesis. As a result of this thesis an 8-step guideline was developed to ease the design of an online community. Guidelines were also applied to two real life cases which are described as one part of this work.

There is currently little empirical knowledge regarding the construction of a musician’s identity and social class. With a theoretical framework based on Bourdieu’s (1984) distinction theory, Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) theory of ecological systems, and the identity theories of Erikson (1950; 1968) and Marcia (1966), a survey called the Musician’s Social Background and Identity Questionnaire (MSBIQ) is developed to test three research hypotheses related to the construction of a musician’s identity, social class and ecological systems of development. The MSBIQ is administered to the music students at Sibelius Academy of the University of Arts Helsinki and Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, representing the ’highbrow’ and the ’middlebrow’ samples in the field of music education in Finland. Acquired responses (N = 253) are analyzed and compared with quantitative methods including Pearson’s chi-square test, factor analysis and an adjusted analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that (1) the music students at Sibelius Academy and Metropolia construct their subjective musician’s identity differently, but (2) social class does not affect this identity construction process significantly. In turn, (3) the ecological systems of development, especially the individual’s residential location, do significantly affect the construction of a musician’s identity, as well as the age at which one starts to play one’s first musical instrument. Furthermore, a novel finding related to the structure of a musician’s identity was the tripartite model of musical identity consisting of the three dimensions of a musician’s identity: (I) ’the subjective dimension of a musician’s identity’, (II) ’the occupational dimension of a musician’s identity’ and, (III) ’the conservative-liberal dimension of a musician’s identity’. According to this finding, a musician’s identity is not a uniform, coherent entity, but a structure consisting of different elements continuously working in parallel within different dimensions. The results and limitations related to the study are discussed, as well as the objectives related to future studies using the MSBIQ to research the identity construction and social backgrounds of a musician or other performing artists.

There exist several researches and applications about laser welding monitoring and parameter control but not a single one have been created for controlling of laser scribing processes. Laser scribing is considered to be very fast and accurate process and thus it would be necessary to develop accurate turning and monitoring system for such a process. This research focuses on finding out whether it would be possible to develop real-time adaptive control for ultra-fast laser scribing processes utilizing spectrometer online monitoring. The thesis accurately presents how control code for laser parameter tuning is developed using National Instrument's LabVIEW and how spectrometer is being utilized in online monitoring. Results are based on behavior of the control code and accuracy of the spectrometer monitoring when scribing different steel materials. Finally control code success is being evaluated and possible development ideas for future are presented.
