Oppikirjat osaamisen ja laadun vahvistajana korkeakouluopetuksessa – millaisia rakenteita tarvitaan?

Oppikirjaprojektimme taustalla oli moninäkökulmaisen opetusmateriaalin tarve sijaishuollon opetuksen tueksi. Oppikirjan tekeminen oli toisaalta haastava ja kovasti työtä vaativa, mutta samalla se tarjosi mahdollisuuden olla uuden äärellä ja nähdä sijaishuoltoon liittyviä ilmiöitä toisella tavalla kuin ennen.

Osaavia aikuisten ja ikääntyvien digitaitojen ohjaajia Lappiin -OdigO-hanke kehittämässä digitaitojen ohjausosaamista

Digitaitoihin liittyy myös medialukutaito ja terveyden lukutaito. OdigO-hankkeen ytimessä on ymmärrys siitä, että edistyneisiin digitaitoihin kuuluu myös taito auttaa ja ohjata muita digitaitoihin liittyvissä kysymyksissä.

Poronhoitajan osaaminen ja hyvinvointi kehittämisen kohteena

Poronhoito on vanhin edelleen elinvoimaisista pohjoisen elinkeinoista. Poronhoitotyön osaamiseen kuuluu paljon hiljaista tietoa, jota opitaan, kun lapset kasvavat poronhoitotöissä ja vanhimmat osallistuvat töihin niin kauan kuin toimintakykyä riittää. Poronhoitajankin kohdalla kyse on kuitenkin ammatista, ja ammattitaitovaatimukset muuttuvat.

Oman osaamisen kehittäminen elämää ja työuraa varten

Itsensä johtaminen ja yhteistyöosaaminen ovat nousseet tärkeäksi työelämätaidoksi substanssiosaamisen lisäksi. YAMK-opintojemme edetessä huomasimme, että johtamiseen liittyvän osaamisen lisäksi matkaan tarttui osaamista myös aikataulujen hallinnasta, elämän priorisoinnista, oman hiljaisen tiedon esilletuomisesta sekä muiden alojen erilaisten näkökulmien ymmärtämisestä.

Knowledge sharing and acquisition forms the foundation for international collaboration during which knowhow is exchanged and new perspectives are gained.

Laplanders must commercialise their Lapland themselves

The contact between tourists and products from Lapland ceases with the end of the trip and it is almost impossible to buy authentic Lappish goods from outside the region. An authentic, durable, and high-quality product made in Lapland has potential to be successfully marketed if it is available through modern sales channels.

International networking at the top of Europe

Today, networking between individuals and organizations more often takes place digitally. For small firms it is a good way to expand the partnerships and to find new customers. My wish is that also in future, Lapland UAS, together with partners, will look to the future and support cross-border projects and educational programmes where the young generation learns about the opportunities of the European Arctic.

Culture Bumb to make students feel home in Lapland

International students often do not seem to be given the chance to actually get acquainted with local Finnish people, as they instead opt to interact and experience local sights with other non-native students in the end. The Culture Bump initiative is to make planners and participants from different countries and cultures interact with one another.
