Tietotekniikan valtakunnallisten oppisisältöjen toteutuminen Keski-Suomen peruskoulujen opetuskäytänteissä
2017
Tutkimus sai alkunsa kiinnostuksesta uusia Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteita kohtaan. Vuonna 2014 hyväksytty POPS asettui erityisesti tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuksen osalta vastaamaan perusopetuksessa havaittuihin puutteisiin ja ongelmiin. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää mitä uusia sisältöjä POPS14 tuo tietotekniikan opetukseen sekä kuinka noiden sisältöjen opetus toteutuu koulujen arjessa. Tutkimuksessa tunnistettiin tyypilliset ja yleisesti käytössä olevat TVT:n opetusmenetelmät ja niitä pyrittiin kuvailemaan laadullisen tutkimuksen keinoin. Tavoitteeseen päästiin lähinnä Opetushallituksen julkaisuihin kohdistuneen kirjallisuuskatsauksen, Keski-Suomen peruskouluj…
Inquiry Based Learning and Responsible Research and Innovation: Examples of Interdisciplinary Approaches at Different Schooling Levels
2021
The Inquiry-Based approach to Science Education (IBSE) is presented in scienti#c literature (Hake, 1998; Sharma et al., 2010) and in research projects reports (e.g. ESTABLISH, 2010; SAILS, 2014) as a credible solution to the reported lack of ef#cacy of more ‘traditional’ educative approaches, especially when focused on Research and Innovation (RRI) (Sutcliffe, 2006; IRRESISTIBLE, 2013; Ark of Inquiry, 2013). IBSE is an inductive approach to science teaching that considers direct experience at the center of learning. IBSE activities and strategies actively involve students in the identi#cation of relevant evidence, in critical and logical reasoning on the evidence collected and in re+ection …
Multiple Creativities Put to Work for Creative Ecologies in Teacher Professional Learning: A Vision and Practice of Everyday Creativity
2021
AbstractIn this chapter, we argue for a new vision for teacher professional learning based on the diverse creativities as practice which catalyzes educational change in whole-school contexts. We argue that it is possible (and preferable) to expand improvements to teacher education and professional development beyond neoliberal notions of “workplace readiness” and toward an environmental, ecological, sustainable education for lives worth living. This creative ecological approach considers the entire context and community of various stakeholders.Applying a case study approach, we analyze teachers’ published assignments in a blended in-service teacher education course entitled “Everyday Creati…
Student teachers’ views of their own musical skills to teach the National Core Curriculum in Finland
2022
As in many other countries, Finnish primary school teacher education has reduced substantially the amount of music studies during recent decades. From the perspective of the National Core Curriculum, there is a reason to reflect on teacher education and primary school student teachers’ skills to teach music. The present study investigates 392 student teachers’ musical skills in five different teacher training programmes in Finland. The data, mainly based on students’ self-assessment, was collected through a quantitative questionnaire. The results reveal significant shortcomings of music education in teacher training. For example, many key content areas such as singing or composing, are addr…

Yläkoulun liikunnanopettajien näkemyksiä liikunnan oppilasarvioinnista perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman 2014 mukaan
2017
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa liikunnanopettajien näkemyksiä liikunnan oppilasarvioinnista vuonna 2014 valmistuneen perusopetuksen valtakunnallisen opetussuunnitelman mukaan. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään myös, onko iällä tai sukupuolella yhteyttä opettajien näkemyksiin. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat mm. opettajien perehtyminen ja suhtautuminen vuoden 2014 opetussuunnitelman mukaiseen arviointiohjeistukseen, opetussuunnitelman vaikutus käytännön arviointityöhön sekä opettajien näkemykset vuoden 2014 opetussuunnitelman mahdollisuuksista ja haasteista arviointityössä. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella tammikuun 2017 aikana LIITO ry:n jäsenrekisterin kautta. Kyselyy…

Finland: Towards the Future School
2018
Finland is known globally for two things: first, Santa Claus who is living in Korvatunturi in Lapland, near the Russian border; and second, education. A huge success in the international Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results in the early 2000s raised Finnish education to the core of educational discussion all around the world. Finland’s top rankings in not only one category but in all three main test categories—literacy, mathematics and science—has led to many questions as to the origins of this success. The answers lay in two main categories: the developmental history of Finnish compulsory school and teacher education. In Finland, PISA results were of more importanc…
