A multidimensional adapted process model of teaching
AbstractIn the present study, we aimed to specify the key competence domains perceived to be critical for the teaching profession and depict them as a comprehensive teacher competence model. An expert panel that included representatives from seven units providing university-based initial teacher education in Finland carried out this process. To produce an active construction of a shared understanding and an interpretation of the discourse in the field, the experts reviewed literature on teaching. The resulting teacher competence model, the multidimensional adapted process model of teaching (MAP), represents a collective conception of the relevant empirical literature and prevailing discours…
Conceptual Framework of Teaching Quality: A Multidimensional Adapted Process Model of Teaching
A universal challenge in the field of teacher education is generating a shared vision of the key knowledge and skills needed for the teaching profession. Prior research has pinpointed a range of critical qualities necessary for teaching and other facets of a teacher’s work. However, a research-based conceptual model relevant to understanding the key competencies of the teaching profession has not yet been presented. To address this need, this paper presents a multidimensional process model of key knowledge and skills for teaching. It is adapted from the competence model of Blömeke et al. (2015), and it specifies the core professional practices, situation-specific skills, and cognitive and n…
Opettajan toiminnan yhteys kolmasluokkalaisten onnistumiseen ongelmatehtävän ratkaisemisessa
Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on tarkastella yhteyttä opettajien (N = 7) toiminnan ja heidän kolmasluokkalaistensa (N = 86) ongelmanratkaisusuoritusten välillä Neliönjako-tehtävässä. Tutkimusaineistona käytettiin oppilaiden ratkaisuja, oppitunneista nauhoitettuja videoita sekä opettajien tuntisuunnitelmia. Opettajien toimintaa analysoitiin ongelmanratkaisutunnin vaiheiden (johdatteluvaihe, tutkimisvaihe ja yhteenvetovaihe) avulla. Oppilaiden ratkaisut luokiteltiin, ja heidän suorituksiaan verrattiin eri luokissa. Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella oppilaiden oli mahdollista saada ongelmatehtävästä korkeimman tason ratkaisuja matematiikan peruslaskutaidosta riippumatta. Opettajan toiminnalla ol…
Developing a method to determine teachers’ and pupils’ activities during a mathematics lesson
Identifying childhood movement profiles and comparing differences in mathematical skills between clusters : A latent profile analysis
The aims of this study were; 1) to identify different movement profiles in sixth graders, and 2) to investigate if there are differences in their mathematical basic (BasicMath) and problem solving (ProbSol) skills between existing movement profiles. The sample included 461 (223 girls, 238 boys) students with a mean age of 11.27 +/- .32 years from southern and middle Finland. A latent profile analysis (LPA) revealed four movement profiles: "poor movers", "average movers", "skilled movers" and "expert movers". These profiles differed substantially in their motor competence (MC) and health-related fitness (HRF). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) also revealed that "poor movers" and …
A systematic review of functional numeracy measures for 9–12 -year-olds: Validity and reliability evidence
This systematic review aimed to summarize the characteristics and the measurement properties of functional numeracy measures developed for use by teachers among 9–12-year-old children with or without mathematical learning difficulties. A systematic search from five databases was conducted based on pre-defined criteria. PRISMA guidelines were followed for reporting the results. The terminology and classification of measurement properties adopted by the COSMIN taxonomy was used. Twenty-one studies of 18 measures met the inclusion criteria. Most of the identified measures did not report on several measurement properties due to incomplete or missing psychometric data. Knowledge of Mathematical …
