Yläkoulun oppilaiden kouluun kuulumisen kehityskulut 7. luokan alusta 8. luokan alkuun : kehityskulkujen yhteys oppilaiden käytösoireisiin

2016

Kouluun kuuluminen on yksi oppilaiden tunneperäisen kiinnittymisen osa-alue. Sillä viitataan oppilaan kokemuksiin siitä, miten hän tulee hyväksytyksi, arvostetuksi, mukaan otetuksi ja tuetuksi koulun sosiaalisessa ympäristössä. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan henkilökeskeisesti kouluun kuulumisen kehityskulkuja 7. luokan alusta 8. luokan alkuun 485 oppilaan vastaukset sisältävällä kyselyaineistolla. Lisäksi tutkitaan, millaisia yhteyksiä kouluun kuulumisen kehityskuluilla on oppilaiden raportoimiin käytösoireisiin. Aineistosta oli tunnistettavissa kaksi erilaista kouluun kuulumisen kehityskulkua. Ensimmäisessä ryhmässä, johon kuului 94 prosenttia oppilaista, lähtötaso oli 7. luokan alussa…

Building coherence and impact : differences in Finnish school level curriculum making

2022

AbstractThe study aims to gain a better understanding on how curriculum making regulated by reform’s implementation strategy contributes to teachers’ and teacher communities perceived curriculum coherence, and further to the impact that reform has on school development. The two-level path modelling was utilised for analysing clustered data including the 75 schools and 1556 individual teachers from these schools during the most recent Finnish core curriculum reform. The results showed that the participatory strategy, including balancing the steering and transformative dialogue, seemed to be crucial both for promoting the individual teacher’s and professional communities’ shared capacity to p…

Is individual- and school-level teacher burnout reduced by proactive strategies?

2021

There is provisional evidence that burnout may be contagious within professional communities via the crossover effect, referring to an inter-individual transmission of stress or strain. However, our understanding of effective means for tackling stressors is scarce. We tested a two-level path model to explore the interrelation between teachers’ proactive self- and co-regulative strategies and experienced burnout. The study sample comprised 1531 Finnish in-service teachers from 75 schools. The results showed that burnout symptoms varied both between individual teachers and between professional communities. Self- and co-regulative strategies serve partly different functions in regulating teach…

Students with reading and spelling disabilities: peer groups and educational attainment in secondary education.

2011

The present study investigated whether the members of adolescents’ peer groups are similar in reading and spelling disabilities and whether this similarity contributes to subsequent school achievement and educational attainment. The sample consisted of 375 Finnish adolescents whose reading and spelling disabilities were assessed at age 16 with the Finnish dyslexia screening test. The students also completed a sociometric nomination measure that was used to identify their peer groups. Register information on participants’ school grades also was available, and educational attainment in secondary education was recorded 5 years after completion of the 9 years of basic education. The results re…
