The challenge for school-based teacher educators : establishing teaching and supervision goals
School-based teacher educators (SBTEs) should be able to set goals in two roles – as a teacher and as a supervisor of student teachers. The purpose of the study was to investigate school-based teacher educators’ teaching and supervising goals and to identify how teachers in the role of supervisors perceived university expectations. Thematic analysis indicated that teachers have difficulty establishing goals for themselves as teachers and supervisors. Their teaching goals proceeded from curricula and focused on their pupils’ cognitive development, whilst their perceptions about supporting pupils’ social development were vague. Teachers were unaware of what exactly universities expected of th…
The child's play world at home and the mother's role in the play
Aino Ugaste selvitti väitöstutkimuksessaan lapsen leikkimaailmaa kotona, äidin käsityksiä lapsen leikistä ja kehityksestä sekä äidin roolista lapsen jokapäiväisessä elämässä ja leikeissä. Ugaste tutki, leikkivätkö lapset kotona, millaisia leikkejä he leikkivät ja miten äiti tukee ja ohjailee lasten leikkejä kotona.- Lapset leikkivät mieluiten sekä yksin että äidin kanssa roolileikkejä.

Yhteisissä…

Beliefs about teaching held by student teachers and school-based teacher educators
Teachers' beliefs about teaching goals and practices are influenced by several factors, including teaching and mentoring experiences. To identify which teaching goals and practices are preferred for the social and cognitive development of pupils, 112 student teachers and 73 school-based teacher educators were questioned. In contrast to teacher educators, student teachers consider the mechanical acquisition of knowledge and practices that support intrapersonal processes directed toward cognitive development to be a more effective goal, while teachers with mentoring experience prefer teaching practices that support pupils' social development. Knowledge about teaching-related beliefs is essent…
