Forum 1 - 4th and 5th papers

Day 2, still Forum 1 :)

First we heard about Finnish teenagers in the media landscape. Minna-Riitta Luukka & Annikka Suoninen opened some of the latest statistics in Finland about the use of media among teenagers. A good way to start a research project, I think, but propably not answering the research questions yet (e.g. conceptions and values of literacy; see abstracts).

The second presentation in Friday (5th paper) was connected to the same research project than the first presentation. Peppi Taalas, Sari Pöyhönen, Mirja Tarnanen & Merja Kauppinen tried to open more the questions about the learning environment and materials (and especially media texts) used. Propably the further research in this project will challenge the data even more and bring up some really valuable information and solutions for getting media education, not only as a cross-curricular theme but, to the learning environment of school.
