My research consisted of different iterative phases of analysis and exploration, design
and construction as well as evaluation and reflection (figure 1). The project was
carried out in several cycles, which each included at least one sub-study. The cycles
(see Figure 2) were carried out in 2010-2013 in two, class-teacher education
programmes at the University of Tampere (the Department of Teacher Education in
Hämeenlinna = HOKL) and at the University of Eastern Finland (the School of
Applied Educational Science and Teacher Education = SKOPE). Cycle 4 remains to
be done in the spring of 2014.
