Project description

The TKIO project aims to develop and investigate the integration of RDI and teaching and learning in the universities of applied sciences. 


Objective: 
The goal is to integrate RDI and learning to support cooperation between the universities of applied sciences, regional enterprises, and other stakeholders, as well as joint knowledge building in the region, in addition to strengthening students' attachment to the world of work already during their studies. 

Research: 
TKIO project aims 
  • to identify how UAS articulates TKIO and how it is positioned and defined in their strategies. 
  • to examine the perspective of UAS staff on the integration of RDI and learning and teaching: how RDI is perceived in their work, what promotes and what hinders the integration of RDI and teaching. 

Partners: 


The project is led by The Schools of Professional Teacher Education from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. Other collaborators are The Schools of Professional Teacher Education at OAMK, TAMK, Jamk, and HAMK Edu. 

The project is funded by Ministry of Education and Culture. 

Timetable: 

The project will be implemented between 10/2023 and 11/2024.

The TKIO project aimed to develop and investigate the integration of RDI
and teaching and learning in the universities of applied sciences (UAS). 


Objective: 
The
goal was to integrate RDI and learning to support cooperation between

stakeholders, as well as the joint knowledge building in the region, in
addition to strengthening students' attachment to the world of work
already during their studies. 

Research: 
The objectives were as follows:
  • to identify how universities of applied sciences articulate  the integration of RDI and
    learning and teaching (In Finnish: TKIO)
  • to
    examine the perspective of UAS staff on the integration of RDI and
    learning and teaching: how RDI is perceived in their work, what promotes
    and what hinders the integration of RDI and teaching.
