IDENTIFYING COMPOSITIONAL INSTRUMENTS IN A BILINGUAL PICTURE BOOK FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING
Bilingual picture books are one of the materials in joint-reading activities between adults and pupils. When using picture books, adults face difficulty conveying meaning from the book to children. Therefore, this paper investigates the compositional elements of a bilingual picture book and provides an understanding of exploring a picture book to create meaningful reading activities. This case study employs a multimodal discourse analytical approach to understand the placement of the visual resources and the dual text of a bilingual picture book entitled Kina Punya Teman Baru. The result shows the compositional instruments tend to attract the reader's focus on the characters and the continuity of the storyline. The tendency of using co-located backgrounds along with the simple bull eye focus of images directs readers to the actions and emotions experienced by the character. Visual elements in a bilingual picture book are put in a contextualized setting offering readers the to explore the particular image. This bilingual picture book uses Indonesian as L1 and English as L2. The composition of the verbal text layout indicates that this bilingual picture book is intended for pupils speaking Indonesian and are willing to learn English, but they still require scaffolding in accessing the language being learned

Lapsipotilas magneettitutkimuksessa : Digitaalinen kuvakirja
Magneettitutkimus on turvallinen tutkimusmenetelmä säteilysuojelullisesti lapsia tutkittaessa. Magneettikuvauksessa ei käytetä ionisoivaa säteilyä, joten se ei vaikuta solujen perimään. Lapsen saamasta säteilyaltistuksesta aiheutuu suurempi lisäriski kuin aikuisena saadusta säteilyaltistuksesta. Lapset ovat herkempiä säteilylle, koska he ovat pienikokoisia, sisäelimet sijaitsevat lähempänä ihoa ja oma keho antaa vähäisemmän suojan kuin aikuisilla.
Opinnäytetyö toteutettiin toiminnallisena ja opinnäytetyön tuotteena tehtiin digitaalinen kuvakirja magneettitutkimuksiin tuleville alle kouluikäisille lapsille. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli antaa lapsille tietoa magneettitutkimuksesta. Opinnäytetyön tehtävänä oli selvittää: Miten tuotetaan magneettitutkimukseen tulevalle lapselle digitaalinen kuvakirja?
Opinnäytetyön yhteistyötahoina olivat Tampereen yliopistollisen sairaalan Lastentautien poliklinikka sekä Tampereen seudun ammattiopisto. Opinnäytetyön tuote tehtiin digitaalisen kuvakirjan muodossa ja se on esillä Lastentautien poliklinikan internetsivuilla. Tuote sisältää valokuvia Lastentautien poliklinikan päiväsairaalasta ja röntgenosaston magneettitutkimustiloista. Tuotteessa on selvennetty lapsen hoitopolkua magneettitutkimuksessa tekstein sekä kuvituksen avulla. Opinnäytetyön tuotetta ei julkaista Theseus-julkaisuarkistossa.
Opinnäytetyön raportissa käsitellään magneettitutkimusta, kuvakirjojen merkitystä lasten ohjauksessa sekä toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön prosessia. Raporttiin kirjattiin yksityiskohtainen selvitys tuotteen suunnittelun sekä toteutuksen vaiheista. Kehittämisehdotuksena esitetään tutkimusta tuotteen toimivuudesta käytännössä sekä potilaiden että hoitohenkilökunnan näkökulmasta. Tuotteesta voisi tehdä lisäksi version eri kohderyhmälle.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe and painless test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of the body’s organs and structures. Since MRI does not use any ionizing radiation, its use is recommended for children.
This thesis was functional in nature. It was carried out in co-operation with Paediatrics Outpatient Clinic of Tampere University Hospital and Tampere vocational college. The purpose of this study was to produce a digital picture book for children undergoing MRI. The objective of the picture book was to introduce the MRI examination.
The digital picture book provides children with information about the MRI amusing them at the same time. The digital picture book includes photographs and artworks illustrating the hospital environment. The picture book is aimed at children under school age. The theoretical section explores MRI and a picture book as a coping strategy for a child. In addition, the theoretical section includes a full account on the making of a digital picture book.
Further studies are needed to prove whether the digital picture book works in practice. As a developmental suggestion a corresponding product could be aimed at older children.Tämän toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön tuotosta ei julkaista Theseuksessa
