Classroom effect on primary school students’ self-concept in literacy and mathematics
2019
AbstractAccording to the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLP) model, high individual academic performance in a particular subject is related to high self-concept in that subject, whereas high average classroom performance has a negative effect on self-concept. In the present study, data from Finnish primary school students in grade 3 (504 students), grade 4 (487 students), and grade 6 (365 students) are used to examine whether the assumptions of the BFLP effect model hold already in primary school. Furthermore, we examined gender differences in BFLP effect. The results showed that as expected students’ high performance in literacy and in mathematics was related to high self-concept in the sam…
Mediating effects of motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour on the associations of adiposity and ot…
2018
We investigated the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors with academic achievement and whether motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, or sedentary behaviour mediated these associations. Altogether 175 children 6-8 years-of-age participated in the study. We assessed body fat percentage (BF%), waist circumference, insulin, glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, leptin, alanine aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). Reading fluency, reading comprehension, and arithmetic skills were assessed using standardized tests. Speed/agility, balance, and manual dexterity test results were used to calculate moto…
Zero-Achievers Non-Progressing Studies in Finnish Open University : Three Preventive Factors
2021
Current education policy responds to changes and needs in working life by guiding individuals at different stages of working careers to develop their skills in the spirit of lifelong learning. More and more are applying with hope and enthusiasm to the Open University to strengthen their competence but are unable to get their studies completed. The article explores factors related to the non-progression of studies by students at the Open University in Finland. We call non-progressing students zero-achievers who enroll in studies but do not complete a single credit during the period of course. This research is a descriptive mixed methods study. The research data was collected by an online sur…
Teachers' physiological and self-reported stress, teaching practices and students' learning outcomes in Grade 1.
2022
Background Teachers' self-reported stress is related to the quality of teacher–student interactions and students' learning outcomes. However, it is unclear if teachers' physiological stress is related to child-centred teaching practices in the classroom and whether teaching practices mediate the link between teachers' stress and students' learning outcomes. Aims We studied the effect of teachers' physiological stress and self-reported stress on their teaching practices and thereby on students' learning outcomes in math. Sample A total of 53 classroom teachers and 866 Grade 1 students participated in the study. Methods Salivary cortisol in the middle of the school day and cortisol slope from…
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 …
Valmiuksia tulevaisuuden työelämään simulaatiopelioppimisen kautta
2021
Tänä päivänä työtä tehdään yhä useammin hajautetuissa di-gitaalisissa ympäristöissä, joissa yhteisöllisten digitaalistenja 21. vuosisadan taitojen merkitys korostuu. Myös liike-toimintaosaamista tarvitaan tänä päivänä laajalti eri aloilla.Dynaamisten ja monitahoisten ilmiöiden oppiminen tapah-tuu parhaiten aidon kaltaisissa oppimisympäristöissä, kutensimulaatiopeliympäristöissä. Tutkimusaineistomme koostuusimulaatiopeliympäristössä toteutetun korkeakoulukurssinopiskelijoiden reflektiivisistä esseistä. Tutkimuksen tulostenperusteella voidaan esittää, että tapauksemme kaltaisen si-mulaatiopeleillä voidaan tukea monipuolisesti työelämäval-miuksien kehittymistä Work is increasingly being conduc…
“I felt a bit nervous” : Virtual Exchange as an emotional journey
2021
Virtual Exchange is a collective term for a set of collaborative online learning practices that cut across institutional, cultural, and international borders. Moving outside their learning environments, the participants engage in project work with foreign peers. The teams have to work across time zones, use foreign languages, manage cultural differences and apply digital tools for communication and collaboration. The virtual projects enhance the development of transversal work/life skills, which are an asset in today’s global labour market. The aim of the present study is to explore the emotional trajectory of Virtual Exchange based on the students’ e-portfolios. By analysing the self-evalu…
Oral competence in upper secondary school teaching : teachers and students' views
2013
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää lukion englannin opettajien sekä opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä suullisesta kielitaidosta niin yleisellä tasolla kuin tarkemmin englannin opetuksessa. Ääntäminen valittiin erityisen tarkastelun kohteeksi, vaikka suullisen kielitaidon todettiin koostuvan monista tärkeistä osa-alueista. Lisäksi tarkoituksena oli selvittää opiskelijoiden ja opettajien välisiä mielipide-eroja. Aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla neljää lukion opiskelijaa sekä neljää lukion opettajaa. Haastattelut toteutettiin nauhoitettuina teemahaastatteluina, jotka litteroitiin. Aineisto analysoitiin teemoittain ja lisäksi opettajien ja opiskelijoiden vastaukset analysoitiin omissa osioissaa…
Finnish upper secondary school students in the vortex of the new syllabus : students’ views about English oral skills teaching and the inclusion of a…
2017
Suullisen kielitaidon testaaminen on ollut monien vuosien ajan tapetilla Suomen lukio-opetuksen parissa. Keskusteluja eri tahojen välillä on käyty tiheään ja varsinkin viime vuosina suullisen kokeen lisääminen osaksi ylioppilastutkintoa on noussut keskeiseksi keskustelunaiheeksi. Tätä prosessia on kiihdyttänyt erityisesti elokuussa 2016 käyttöönotettu uusi opetussuunnitelma, joka vahvasti painottaa tavoitteissaan suullisen kommunikaation taitoja elämän eri osa-alueilla. Suulliselle kielitaidolle on suuri kysyntä työelämässä ja täten kirjallisten taitojen on tehtävä tilaa suulliselle kielitaidolle. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää oppilaiden näkökulmasta, miten englannin kielen …
