(2017)This thesis analyzes interaction between different generations as digital media has become more common in everyday life. Because digital media is often less familiar for older people, this research focuses on the perspective of elderly people and how they feel about it. The study is part of the home economics research field and is based on project KUMOUS (1.2.2015-31.1.2018) launched by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health The project aims to identify the everyday needs of users of different age (young people, people of working age- and seniors), as well as to identify possible new services. Data collection took place in October-November 2015 in South Karelian social and health district (Eksote) area. The data was obtained by interviewing representatives of different generations in two different genus. One of the interviews was carried out by WhatsApp. This is an ethnographic case study, in which the material was approached using two separate cases. The data was collected through interviews in cooperation with the project, in the presence of Senior Research Fellow Mervi Hasu from the Institute of Occupational Health. It can be concluded that digital media did not perceived to be a relevant form of media between the family members. Communication between oldest and their offspring took place by phone or meeting with face to face. Family elders do not find personal computers and smart phones familiar and for example video calls or other applications were not seen as offering more value to the current communication. In this perspective the change of digitalization was not noticed. Interaction between the third generation and the central person was found to be much lower as it is between the second-generation members and the oldest person in family. Communication an interaction between the family members includes the importance of a well-being and healthcare, and relations were found important, although interaction would be less face to face and they might see only rarely.

(2017)The objectives. The subject of this study was the digitalisation of teaching in the Finnish school system. The purpose of this thesis was to bring forward what parents perceive as the objective of the digitalisation of teaching and also how parents feel the digitalisation has contributed to teaching and learning. In addition, the challenges the parents recognise in connection with the school digitalisation was also an interest of this study. Methods. Two parents of elementary school students in Vantaa were interviewed for this thesis. The data collection was carried out as semi-structured theme interviews conducted by Helsinki University teacher education students in the spring 2015. This was a qualitative study, and the data was analysed using thematic and content analysis. Results and Conclusions. According to the results, the parents felt that the purpose of the digitalisation of schools was to diversify teaching, learn 21st century skills and to decrease expenditure. Parents saw the new digital learning environments and teaching methods as a means to strenghten the ownership of knowledge of the pupil. The new kind of knowledge ownership was seen to increase the pupils motivation. Digital technology was considered an inherent part of shool routines and the everyday life of pupils. Parents also identified challenges in the adoption of digital teaching practices, namely in pedagogical decisionmaking, establishing ground rules for digital methods and practices, furthering co-operation between school and parents and in ensuring adequate funding. The results of this thesis suggest that digitalisation versifies teaching methods and enhances the pupils motivation to learn more. Even so, in order for digitalisation to reach its full potential in elevating teaching and learning, securing adequate funding is important, but significant efforts from the educational decisionmaking and teachers individually are imperative.
