Motivational predictors of students' participation in out-of-school learning activities and academic attainment in science : An application of the tr…

2018

Abstract Given the shortfall in students studying science, promotion of motivation and engagement in science education is a priority. The current study applied the trans-contextual model to study the motivational predictors of participation in science learning activities in secondary-school students . In a three-wave design, secondary-school students completed measures of perceived autonomy support, autonomous and controlled motivation, social-cognitive beliefs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control), intentions, and self-reported participation in out-of-school science learning activities. Five-weeks later, students self-reported their science learning activities. Students' science…

Eurooppalaista identiteetiä rakentamassa : lukion historian opetuksen luoma kuva Suomesta osana Eurooppaa 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle

2012

Pro gradu- tutkielmassani selvitin, minkälainen on lukion historian opetuksessa välittyvä kuva Suomesta eurooppalaisena valtiona. Tarkastelin mitä opetussuunnitelmat 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle kertovat historian opetuksen tavoitteista ja mitä kerrotaan historian opetuksen vaikutuksesta oppilaan identiteettiin. Tutkin mikä on ollut opetuksen painopisteenä ja millaisia historian tulkintoja on haluttu virallisesti tukea ja millaisia arvoja historianopetukseen on liitetty. Tutkimukseni alkuperäislähteenä toimivat vuosien 1985, 1994 ja 2003 lukion valtakunnallisten opetussuunnitelmien perusteet sekä yhteensä 42 näiden opetussuunnitelmien perusteella Editan, WSOY:n ja Otavan julkaisemaa historian …

Insights into Finnish first-year pre-service teachers’ twenty-first century skills

2016

This study focuses on Finnish pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their twenty-first century skills, especially their learning strategies, collaboration and teamwork, as well as knowledge and attitudes related to ICT in education. The target group consist of 263 first-year pre-service teachers from three universities. The results outline how pre-service teachers perceive their twenty-first century skills, the relationships between different areas of these skills, and the differences among pre-service teachers in terms of perceived skills. The results indicate that the pre-service teachers perceive themselves as skilled learners in terms of learning strategies used as well as collaboration …

Investigating former pupils’ experiences and perceptions of CLIL in Finland: a retrospective analysis

2019

The educational approach known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), in which content is taught partly through a foreign language, has gained great popularity in Europe in the past few decades. In Finland, CLIL has been in use since 1991 and, despite some fluctuations in its popularity, has gained a relatively stable place in the Finnish education system. CLIL has been extensively studied, but previous CLIL research has mostly focused on pupils currently enrolled in CLIL. This study takes a novel perspective by investigating CLIL retrospectively, through the eyes of former pupils. The data used are in-depth interviews with 24 former pupils who attended a CLIL class in Finland …

Modelli colturali sostenibili per le produzioni orto-floro-frutticole di qualità

2008

Il concetto di sviluppo sostenibile si è articolato nel tempo, integrando l’idea di sviluppo socialmente accettabile e compatibile con il mantenimento degli equilibri ecologici e la economicità dei processi produttivi. La salvaguardia dell’ambiente e della salute umana, l’uso razionale delle risorse naturali e degli input tecnici, il mantenimento di elevati e stabili livelli economici di crescita ed il rispetto dei principi di equità sociale, sono i paradigmi della sostenibilità dei processi produttivi, anche in agricoltura. In un contesto di economia globalizzata, che di fatto ha creato le condizioni di estremo disagio delle economie agricole più deboli e che comunque ha reso più aleatorie…

Spectral multipliers and wave equation for sub-Laplacians: lower regularity bounds of Euclidean type

2018

Let $\mathscr{L}$ be a smooth second-order real differential operator in divergence form on a manifold of dimension $n$. Under a bracket-generating condition, we show that the ranges of validity of spectral multiplier estimates of Mihlin--H\"ormander type and wave propagator estimates of Miyachi--Peral type for $\mathscr{L}$ cannot be wider than the corresponding ranges for the Laplace operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. The result applies to all sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups and more general sub-Riemannian manifolds, without restrictions on the step. The proof hinges on a Fourier integral representation for the wave propagator associated with $\mathscr{L}$ and nondegeneracy properties of the sub…

Max Weber ja Euroopan Unioni

2020

Emeritusprofessori Kari Palonen avaa Max Webein yhteyttä Euroopan Unioniin. Koska Weber kuoli espanjantautiin kesäkuussa 1920, hänellä ei kuitenkaan voinut olla mitään käsitystä Euroopan unionista, sellaisena kuin me sen tunnemme. Palonen lähestyykin Euroopan Unionia Weberin ajatusten kautta, joissa esimerkiksi ymmärretään toteutuneita mahdollisuuksia vertaamalla niitä toteutumattomiin. Palonen ei myöskään ole ainoa Weber-tutkija, joka on pohtinut Weberin suhdetta Euroopan integraatioon.

The British Parliament and Foreign Policy in the 20th Century : Towards Increasing Parliamentarisation?

2016

This article demonstrates the complexity of the foreign policy involvement of the British parliament during the 20th century. Parliamentary government as such provides some procedural means for involvement in foreign policy debate, in Britain as well as in other countries. Researchers have, nevertheless, often argued that parliaments play a limited role in foreign policy. Approaching our topic by combining the analysis of policy documents with more discourse-oriented analysis of parliamentary debates, we argue that noticeable, but not straightforward, parliamentarisation of foreign policy took place in the course of the 20th century. The aftermath of the First World War led to reconsiderati…

Reconceptualising the Role of Talk in CLIL

2011

This theoretical paper offers a reconceptualisation of talk in CLIL based on sociocultural and dialogic theories of education. Building on these educational theories and the experiences of an on-going CLIL project, this paper presents a pedagogical model for the navigation of the ‘talkscape’ of the CLIL classroom. This model comprises a total of seven talk-types: organisational, social, critical, expert, exploratory, meta and pedagogic. In addition to these talk-types, the paper introduces the notion of a ‘transitional dynamic’. This notion aims to capture the transition from first language to foreign language use in CLIL both within the context of individual courses and across a broader CL…
