| Abstract: | This investigation aimed to theoretically conceptualize the components of socio-digital participation (SDP) supported by data collected using a novel SPD-inventory as well as a semi-structured interview -tool. We carried out a pilot study in a Finnish comprehensive school with both quantitative (n=284; age 12-15) and qualitative data (n=35). We identified six conceptually separate dimensions of SDP. Social networking was conceptualized to be more likely to be friendship-driven, and, knowledge- and media-oriented as interest-driven. Academic participation was conceptualized as a separate boundary-crossing dimension between autonomous and controlled study activities. Further, we identifi ed two separate dimensions of gaming: recreational games and action and sports games. Based on the results we propose that in cultivating novel pedagogical practices, the heterogeneity should be recognized instead of onsize- fi ts-all mentality, and, further, that it is critical for the educational system to deliberately facilitate students appropriating of advanced digital practices of working with knowledge and media.

(2018)The aim of this study was to create a model which describes the main elements for improving schools with digital technology and helps to reveal differences between schools and identify their best practices and challenges. The innovative digital school model (IDI school) offers a framework for research but also a research-based model for schools to examine their own practices with digital technologies. The model combines previous research on school improvement, creation of innovations, and digital technology in education as a special case of innovations and learning as knowledge creation to define six main elements describing an innovative, digital school: visions of the school, leadership, practices of the teaching community, pedagogical practices, school-level knowledge practices and digital resources. The model was applied to investigate three basic education schools. The results indicate that the model worked: we found essential differences between the schools and their best practices and challenges for improvement. It worked particularly well for those elements, which are mainly the responsibility for leadership inside a school. The differences of various elements between schools were not based on socioeconomic background but on the school-level practices. As a conclusion, we suggest that to improve schools with digital technology, all elements of the model should be included in the evaluation and development process.

Privacy as the Price of Free Digital Services : - Applying EU Competition Law on Digital Platforms (Helsingin yliopisto, 2023)The purpose of my thesis is to study the interrelationship between privacy and competition law in the context of the digital economy by evaluating both current and possible future paths of development. A starting point for the research is the assumption that digitisation and datafication have transformed market dynamics and created a pressure to integrate perspectives from the traditionally separate regimes of privacy and competition law. The research mixes doctrinal and legal theoretical methods to figure out how the privacy-competition law interrelationship has been construed in the EU competition case law so far, and how it should ideally be developed in the future, from the perspective of the goal of non-dominance, a conception of freedom developed within the political philosophy of republicanism which I argue forms the main underlying objective of both privacy and competition law. I will argue that developments in the case law show a continuous movement away from so-called separationists accounts of the privacy-competition interrelationship towards increasing integrationism. I will further argue that this is, especially if combined with new data-centered special legislation, the likely optimal development from a non-dominance point of view.
