Finnish higher education institutions' reactions to the 2015 asylum seeker situation : Motives, goals and future challenges
2017
In 2015, military conflicts and related humanitarian crises neighbouring areas of Europe made millions of people leave their homes. Europe, including Finland, experienced a rapid increase in the number of asylum seekers. In this article, we examine the reception of asylum seekers by Finnish higher education institutions mainly by analysing media data written about and written by universities and universities of applied sciences in Finland. The higher education institutions, in keeping with their societal role, spontaneously developed various kinds of pop-up courses, co-operation projects and other activities for asylum seekers. These activities range from crisis work to medical clinics and …
Violência, evasão e exclusão na educação superior
2019
The present text focuses on a relationship between higher education, institutional and symbolic violence and exclusion, practicing as a challenge based on reflections on the existence of evasion in Brazilian university. Ignoring the educational institution as a direct responsible for these things, this text considers that a logic in University organization and operation helps to enlarge inequalities that provide the mechanisms of evasion; at the same time, it presents itself as a space of reference and a struggle against social inequalities and violence. On a provisional basis, the text stands out that: depending on the execution of educational procedures and practices undertaken by the ins…
Digital competence in the curricula of Spanish public universities
2018
[EN] The massive incorporation of the technological resources in the classrooms of the infantile and primary centers has been a reality evident for some years, thanks to state plans like School 2.0 or autonomous ones like EducaMadrid or the Intelligent Educational Centers in the Valencian Community. And although much has been written in recent times about digital competence and the initial training of teachers in public universities, it is necessary to continue investigating and reflecting on their suitability and implementation in a society in continuous technological change. On this subject, in these lines it is tried to analyze the curriculum of the Teaching Degrees of several public uni…

Adolescents' credibility justifications when evaluating online texts.
2022
AbstractResearch has shown that students differ in their abilities to evaluate the credibility of online texts, and, in general, many perform poorly on online evaluation tasks. This study extended current knowledge by examining students’ abilities to justify the credibility of online texts from different perspectives, thus providing a more nuanced understanding of students’ credibility evaluation ability. We examined how upper secondary school students (N = 73; aged 16 to 17) evaluated author expertise, author intention, the publication venue, and the quality of evidence when reading four texts about the effects of sugar consumption in a web-based environment. Additionally, we examined how …
The conflicting historical issues and their school approach: a Spanish example
2017
En este estudio se analiza la forma en que los “tiempos difíciles” de la reciente historia española (la Guerra Civil y la dictadura franquista, 1936-1975) han sido tratados tanto en los manuales escolares de historia como en el interior de las aulas, estableciendo, por una parte, los avances historiográficos y didácticos conseguidos y, por otra, las actuales insuficiencias y deficiencias de tales planteamientos desde la perspectiva de un tratamiento realmente democrático y reconciliatorio de los mismos. Los avances han sido muy lentos, tanto en las representaciones sociales del conjunto de la sociedad española como en su presentación escolar. Todo ello permite afirmar que esta cuestión sigu…
Varhaiskasvatustutkimuksen kaksi vuosikymmentä : tieteenalat, kysymyksenasettelut ja metodit
2017
Varhaiskasvatus on tullut yhteiskunnan palveluna yleisesti tutuksi viime aikoina poliittisen keskustelun kautta. Varhaiskasvatus käsite otettiin Suomessa käyttöön Varhaiskasvatuksen koulutuskomitean mietinnön (KM 1974:15) myötä. Tämän jälkeen varhaiskasvatuksesta tuli myös lastentarhanopettajakoulutuksen pääoppiaine, kun aiempia oppisisältöjä yhdistettiin varhaiskasvatuksen kokonaisuudeksi. (Husa & Kinos 2001, 19.) Oppiaineena varhaiskasvatus on monitieteinen, joskin sen juuret ovat vahvasti kytköksissä kehityspsykologiaan (Karila, Kinos, Niiranen & Virtanen 2003, 125–126). Karila ym. (2003) ovat analysoineet lastentarhanopettajakoulutusten opetussuunnitelmia ja huomauttaneet, että analyysi…

Tässä artikkelissa pohditaan käytännöllisten alojen ylimpään opetukseen ja tutkimukseen liittyvän julkaisutoiminnan kehitystä Suomessa. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan suomalaiselle tekniikan julkaisutoiminnalle ominaisia piirteitä. Tutkimuksessa pohditaan sitä, mitkä tekijät ovat vaikuttaneet tekniikkaan, teollisuuteen ja elinkeinoelämään liittyvän tiedon julkaisumenettelyihin. Lähteinä on käytetty suomalaisia teknillisen alan artikkelijulkaisuja 1800-luvulla ja teknillistä julkaisu- ja kirjastotoimintaa koskevaa kirjallisuutta.
