Resocialisation through e-learning: motivation, skills, and expectations of Finnish inmates
Kokkuvõte
The objective of this research is to determine if the resocialisation processes, supported by e-learning, would
meet the capabilities, and needs of inmates in closed and open institutions in Finland.
To reach to objective, three study questions were set:
-How do Finnish inmates see their motivations, possibilities, and skills for e-learning?
-How do Finnish inmates see education as a tool for resocialisation?
-What kinds of features define Finnish inmates as students and learners?
The method of this study is qualitative empiric research, and the strategy of study is a case study, which was
seen as a suitable strategy through its flexibility and wide range. Twelve semi-structured interviews were
conducted to collect data for analysis, and later, through findings, the author was able to find answers to study
questions.
