Opiskelijoiden itsearvioinnin laaduntarkastelua suuren kurssin kontekstissa
This study is part of an ongoing larger project concerning student self-assessment skills in university courses. We have developed a method enabling large cohorts of students to assess their own learning outcomes and to give their own course grades with the help of an automatic verification system. This paper explores the question of accuracy, namely, whether the self-assessed grades correspond to the studentsâ actual skills, and how well the automatic system can pick up issues in the self-assessment. Based on an expertâs evaluation of the skills of two students, we conclude that although for large part the model works as intended, there are some cases where neither the self-assessment nor the computer verification seem to be accurate.Peer reviewe
Hiki, Àhky ja loikka - Osallistujien pedagogisia mietteitÀ ja ideoita hankkeen varrelta
DIGIJOUJOU-hankkeessa tyoÌskennelleet opettajat ovat hankkeen toimintavuosien 2017-2019 aikana pohtineet opetuksen ja oppimisen digitaalisuutta ja joustavuutta eri naÌkoÌkulmista: mitaÌ digitaalisuus ja joustavuus suomen ja ruotsin opiskelussa tarkoittaa, miten soveltaa, lisaÌtaÌ ja kehittaÌaÌ digitaalisuutta ja joustavuutta omassa opetuksessa ja opiskelijoiden oppimisessa. Hankelaisten blogikirjoituksissa naÌemme askeleita opettajien omasta ja yhdessaÌ muiden kanssa oppimisesta hankkeen edetessaÌ; epaÌvarmuus muuttuu varmuudeksi, ajoittainen digiaÌhky oman asiantuntijuuden kasvuksi ja joustavuus osaksi opettajan arkipedagogiikkaa. Antoisia ja inspiroivia lukuhetkiaÌ!
LisĂ€tietoa: https://digijoujou.aalto.fi/LaÌrarna i DIGIJOUJOU-projektet har under projektets verksamhetsaÌr 2017-2019 reflekterat oÌver digitalisering och exibilitet fraÌn olika perspektiv; vad betyder digitalisering och exibilitet i laÌrandet av finska och svenska, hur ska man implementera, oÌka och utveckla dessa i den egna undervisningen och i hur studerande laÌr sig finska och svenska. I projektdeltagarnas bloginlaÌgg faÌr vi inblick i hur allas laÌrandeprocess i projektet framskrider; osaÌkerhet utvecklas till saÌkerhet, digikaoset faÌr ordning och exibilitet blir en del av den egna sakkunnigheten och pedagogiken. Med oÌnskan om givande och inspirerande laÌsning!

Evidence of a causal effect of genetic tendency to gain muscle mass on uterine leiomyomata
Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common tumours of the female genital tract and the primary cause of surgical removal of the uterus. Genetic factors contribute to UL susceptibility. To add understanding to the heritable genetic risk factors, we conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of UL in up to 426,558 European women from FinnGen and a previous UL meta-GWAS. In addition to the 50 known UL loci, we identify 22 loci that have not been associated with UL in prior studies. UL-associated loci harbour genes enriched for development, growth, and cellular senescence. Of particular interest are the smooth muscle cell differentiation and proliferation-regulating genes functioning on the myocardin-cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A pathway. Our results further suggest that genetic predisposition to increased fat-free mass may be causally related to higher UL risk, underscoring the involvement of altered muscle tissue biology in UL pathophysiology. Overall, our findings add to the understanding of the genetic pathways underlying UL, which may aid in developing novel therapeutics.Peer reviewe
