The general aim of the thesis was to study university students’ learning from the perspective of regulation of learning and text processing. The data were collected from the two academic disciplines of medical and teacher education, which share the features of highly scheduled study, a multidisciplinary character, a complex relationship between theory and practice and a professional nature. Contemporary information society poses new challenges for learning, as it is not possible to learn all the information needed in a profession during a study programme. Therefore, it is increasingly important to learn how to think and learn independently, how to recognise gaps in and update one’s knowledge and how to deal with the huge amount of constantly changing information. In other words, it is critical to regulate one’s learning and to process text effectively. The thesis comprises five sub-studies that employed cross-sectional, longitudinal and experimental designs and multiple methods, from surveys to eye tracking. Study I examined the connections between students’ study orientations and the ways they regulate their learning. In total, 410 second-, fourth- and sixth-year medical students from two Finnish medical schools participated in the study by completing a questionnaire measuring both general study orientations and regulation strategies. The students were generally deeply oriented towards their studies. However, they regulated their studying externally. Several interesting and theoretically reasonable connections between the variables were found. For instance, self-regulation was positively correlated with deep orientation and achievement orientation and was negatively correlated with non-commitment. However, external regulation was likewise positively correlated with deep orientation and achievement orientation but also with surface orientation and systematic orientation. It is argued that external regulation might function as an effective coping strategy in the cognitively loaded medical curriculum. Study II focused on medical students’ regulation of learning and their conceptions of the learning environment in an innovative medical course where traditional lectures were combined wth problem-based learning (PBL) group work. First-year medical and dental students (N = 153) completed a questionnaire assessing their regulation strategies of learning and views about the PBL group work. The results indicated that external regulation and self-regulation of the learning content were the most typical regulation strategies among the participants. In line with previous studies, self-regulation wasconnected with study success. Strictly organised PBL sessions were not considered as useful as lectures, although the students’ views of the teacher/tutor and the group were mainly positive. Therefore, developers of teaching methods are challenged to think of new solutions that facilitate reflection of one’s learning and that improve the development of self-regulation. In Study III, a person-centred approach to studying regulation strategies was employed, in contrast to the traditional variable-centred approach used in Study I and Study II. The aim of Study III was to identify different regulation strategy profiles among medical students (N = 162) across time and to examine to what extent these profiles predict study success in preclinical studies. Four regulation strategy profiles were identified, and connections with study success were found. Students with the lowest self-regulation and with an increasing lack of regulation performed worse than the other groups. As the person-centred approach enables us to individualise students with diverse regulation patterns, it could be used in supporting student learning and in facilitating the early diagnosis of learning difficulties. In Study IV, 91 student teachers participated in a pre-test/post-test design where they answered open-ended questions about a complex science concept both before and after reading either a traditional, expository science text or a refutational text that prompted the reader to change his/her beliefs according to scientific beliefs about the phenomenon. The student teachers completed a questionnaire concerning their regulation and processing strategies. The results showed that the students’ understanding improved after text reading intervention and that refutational text promoted understanding better than the traditional text. Additionally, regulation and processing strategies were found to be connected with understanding the science phenomenon. A weak trend showed that weaker learners would benefit more from the refutational text. It seems that learners with effective learning strategies are able to pick out the relevant content regardless of the text type, whereas weaker learners might benefit from refutational parts that contrast the most typical misconceptions with scientific views. The purpose of Study V was to use eye tracking to determine how third-year medical studets (n = 39) and internal medicine residents (n = 13) read and solve patient case texts. The results revealed differences between medical students and residents in processing patient case texts; compared to the students, the residents were more accurate in their diagnoses and processed the texts significantly faster and with a lower number of fixations. Different reading patterns were also found. The observed differences between medical students and residents in processing patient case texts could be used in medical education to model expert reasoning and to teach how a good medical text should be constructed. The main findings of the thesis indicate that even among very selected student populations, such as high-achieving medical students or student teachers, there seems to be a lot of variation in regulation strategies of learning and text processing. As these learning strategies are related to successful studying, students enter educational programmes with rather different chances of managing and achieving success. Further, the ways of engaging in learning seldom centre on a single strategy or approach; rather, students seem to combine several strategies to a certain degree. Sometimes, it can be a matter of perspective of which way of learning can be considered best; therefore, the reality of studying in higher education is often more complicated than the simplistic view of self-regulation as a good quality and external regulation as a harmful quality. The beginning of university studies may be stressful for many, as the gap between high school and university studies is huge and those strategies that were adequate during high school might not work as well in higher education. Therefore, it is important to map students’ learning strategies and to encourage them to engage in using high-quality learning strategies from the beginning. Instead of separate courses on learning skills, the integration of these skills into course contents should be considered. Furthermore, learning complex scientific phenomena could be facilitated by paying attention to high-quality learning materials and texts and other support from the learning environment also in the university. Eye tracking seems to have great potential in evaluating performance and growing diagnostic expertise in text processing, although more research using texts as stimulus is needed. Both medical and teacher education programmes and the professions themselves are challenging in terms of their multidisciplinary nature and increasing amounts of information and therefore require good lifelong learning skills during the study period and later in work life.

La classificazione delle scienze di Pietro d'Abano costituisce un'interessante riformulazione della classificazione analoga, proposta da Aristotele in Metaph. VI, e della teoria degli abiti dianoetici, proposta da Aristotele in Eth. Nic. VI. Come risulta dal Conciliator per quanto concerne la medicina e dal Lucidator per quanto concerne l'astronomia, Pietro segue la classificazione aristotelica e le interpretazioni che di essa erano state date nel medioevo (dottrina dei tre gradi di astrazione e distinzione tra methodus compositiva e methodus resolutiva), aggiungendovi come contributo originale l'introduzione di una parte pratica sia nella medicina che nell'astronomia (astronomia iudicialis), dove quest'ultima deriva da Tolomeo e dagli Arabi.

L'immagine del "grembo materno della natura" da cui la ragione umana si deve emancipare per guadagnare la libertà è usata da Kant in uno scritto polemico contro Herder, Mutmasslicher Anfang der Menschengeschichte (1786), che può essere considerato una risposta al libro decimo delle Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit, uscito nel 1785. Seguendo il racconto biblico, anche Kant pone la prima coppia umana in un "giardino", un luogo sicuro e ben fornito di alimenti; ma il vero inizio della storia è fatto consistere nella rottura di questo equilibrio ad opera della ragione che gradualmente si è sottratta alla tutela della natura, imparando un po' alla volta a dominarla. Kant dichiara di condividere l'ideale rousseauiano di una cultura che non neghi la natura dell'uomo ma la promuova in quella che dovrà diventare la sua condizione fondamentale di esistenza, che è la libertà. Pone tuttavia questo ideale come termine finale del processo storico, non come condizione da recuperare nella sua purezza iniziale, ritornando alle origini, come invece appariva nella visione della storia proposta da Herder, che avrebbe su questo punto frainteso il pensiero di Rousseau.

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee kansainvälistymistä aineellisten hyödykkeiden verkkokauppaa harjoittavien yritysten näkökulmasta. Verkkokauppojen kansainvälistyminen on jäänyt vähäiselle huomiolle muuten mittavasti tutkitussa yritysten kansainvälistymisen tutkimuskentässä. Tutkielma alkaa johtavien kansainvälistymisteorioiden esittelyllä, jonka jälkeen tarkastellaan niiden soveltuvuutta verkkokauppojen kansainvälistymisen selittämiseen. Teorioiden todetaan olevan osittain soveltuvia myös verkkokauppojen kansainvälistymisen tutkimiseen, mutta yksikään teoria ei itsessään ole riittävä selittämään ilmiötä. Tämän takia tutkielmassa pyritään luomaan alustava kontekstisidonnainen teoria verkkokauppojen kansainvälistymisestä. Teorianluonnin pohjana toimii seitsemän verkkokauppayrityksen päättäjän ja kolmen toimialan asiantuntijan puolistrukturoidulla teemahaastattelututkimuksella kerätty aineisto. Tutkimuksellinen lähestymistapa on laadullinen ja aineiston analyysissä käytetään grounded theory -menetelmää. Tutkielman tulokset esittelevät verkkokaupan kansainvälistymiseen vaikuttavia tekijöitä neljän aineistosta johdetun proposition avulla. Ensimmäisessä propositiossa käydään läpi kansainvälisen verkkokaupan edellytyksiä ja kansainvälistymiseen liittyviä haasteita. Yleiseksi kansainvälistymisen edellytykseksi esitetään verkkokaupan toimimista kansainvälisen asiakkaan näkökulmasta. Toinen propositio käsittelee verkkokauppojen strategisia valintoja ja niiden vaikutuksia yrityksen toimintaan. Päätason strategioiksi tunnistetaan kapeamman markkina-alueen täyttä potentiaalia tavoitteleva lokalisoitu strategia ja laajempia markkina-alueita vähäisemmällä mukautuksella tavoitteleva globaali strategia. Kolmannessa propositiossa tuodaan esiin yleisimmät yhteistyökumppanityypit ja niihin tukeutumiseen liittyvät haasteet. Yhteistyökumppaniverkostojen todetaan olevan moninaisia ja useimmissa tapauksissa yhteistyökumppaneiden rooli on lähinnä kansainvälistymistä tukeva. Neljännessä propositiossa tarkastellaan yksilöiden roolia kansainvälistymiseen liittyvässä päätöksenteossa. Päättävissä rooleissa toimivat yksilöt ja heidän aikaisempi kokemuksensa vaikuttavat merkittävästi kansainvälistymiseen liittyviin päätöksiin. Tutkielman pääasiallinen kontribuutio on teoreettinen ja se liittyy propositioiden yhdessä muodostamaan uuteen verkkokauppojen kansainvälistymistä selittävään teoriaan. Teoria toimii pohjana jatkossa tapahtuvalle kontekstisidonnaiselle teorianluonnille ja täydentää aiempia teorioita.

Recent research in relationships marketing and sales and sales management emphasizes companies’ ability to create customer value as a core of all business-to-business relationships. The role of individual salespeople in business relation-ships is commonly acknowledged, but has been largely neglected in extant literature. This study offers especially more detailed perspective on salespeople’s roles and tasks in business-to-business value-based sales process. It focuses especially on Software-as-a-Service business environment. The objective of the study is to find out how salespeople can create value in Software-as-a-Service value-based sales process. It determines value-based sales process, salespeople’s roles and tasks in it, and combines value assessment in to process. The results indicate that salespeople have to adapt different selling roles and tasks in Software-as-a-Service value-based sales process to be able to support the customer’s value-in-use experience. The process itself is highly complex, consisting of multiple facets and selling behaviors, and involves relevant actors from both parties of relationship. The study concludes with a discussion of possibilities that provide interesting aspects for future research.
