Sharing and promoting disciplinary competences for university teaching in English: voices from the University of Jyväskylä language centre’s TACE pro…
2015
The internationalisation of universities often means that the language of learning and teaching needs to be changed – at present most commonly to English. Apart from English-speaking countries, then, most European universities offer their degree programmes in a language that is not the first language of either the students or the teachers. This challenging situation is also the reality in Finland and at the University of Jyväskylä. Many Finnish universities have set up supporting infrastructures to deal with the new challenges, particularly in their international master’s programmes. In this article we describe the TACE programme, which has been run by the Language Centre on an annual basis…
TikTok per una didattica universitaria efficace ed efficiente
2023
È ormai noto come l’utilizzo della tecnologia consenta da un lato una maggiore personalizzazione dell’apprendimento e dall’altro permetta una diversificazione dei contenuti da presentare. Un'ampia letteratura ha messo in evidenza la valenza dell'impiego dello storytelling nell'ambito della comunicazione didattica e per questo motivo si è voluto valutare con che impatto la produzione di contenuti su TikTok possa diventare una metodologia innovativa di apprendimento. Il seguente contributo presenta una ricerca che ha coinvolto 350 studenti del primo anno del Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo nell’anno accademico 2022/2023 sulla progett…
Multiple mini-interviews as a selection tool for initial teacher education admissions
2022
This study investigates the reliability of multiple mini interviews (MMIs) to select students for classroom and special education teacher programs (n = 418) using intraclass correlations and cross-classified multilevel modeling. The results indicated mostly small effects of clustering of applicants to different interviewers and five-station circuits. The largest variance components in the MMI total score were for applicants (63.3%) and measurement error (20.6%), while the variance component for the interviewer was relatively small (11.6–14.4%). The applicants' and interviewers' perceptions were positive. This study provides evidence for the use of MMIs as a reliable tool for initial teacher…
Who am I? : the teacher identity construction of student teachers
2015
Opettajaidentiteetti on tutkimusaiheena varsin ajankohtainen ja viime vuosina huomiota on aiempaa enemmän alettu kiinnittää myös opettajaopiskelijoiden ammatti-identiteettiin, sillä tämän rakennusprosessin osatekijät vaikuttavat varsin eri tavoin lopulliseen identiteettiin. Aiempien tutkimusten pohjalta voidaan huomata, että opettajaidentiteetin muodostumisprosessissa on useita eri osatekijöitä, jotka tässä tutkielmassa on jaettu kahteen faktoriryhmään: henkilökohtaisiin ja opettajankoulutuksellisiin faktoreihin. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen perusteella kävi myös ilmi, että useat opettajaopiskelijat kokevat ristiriitaa henkilökohtaisten näkemystensä ja opettajankoulutuksen painotuksen välillä. Tä…
Becoming interested during teacher education
2018
In this article we examine first-year student teachers’ possibilities to become interested in professional issues in teacher education. We study the phenomenon of becoming interested among first-year student teachers via three different kinds of data. We analysed our data through John Dewey’s definition of interest, where a person has an interest if s/he is actively keen on some object that has personal meaning for her/him. According to our data, student teachers adopt an object of interest that teacher educators provide. Learners found it difficult to find the objects of interests by themselves, and it was exceptional for them to find personal meaning and an active state of interest. This …
Oppimisen paikat ilmiölähtöisellä kurssilla : luokanopettajaopiskelijat mielen hyvinvoinnin digitaalista lukutaitoa tutkimassa
2019
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan, millaisia ammatillisen kehittymisen kannalta merkityksellisiä oppimisen paikkoja rakentui luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden ilmiölähtöisellä kurssilla, jossa tutkittavana ilmiönä oli mielen hyvinvoinnin digitaalinen lukutaito. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 38 opiskelijan päiväkirjoista ja kurssin loppukirjoitelmista. Tulokset osoittavat neljä pääasiallista oppimisen paikkaa: käsitekarttatehtävät, artikkelien lukeminen, mielen hyvinvointia tukevien digitaalisten ratkaisujen arviointi opiskelijaryhmässä ja kouluvierailut. Ammatillinen kehittyminen osoittautui moniulotteiseksi prosessiksi, jossa oli monesti läsnä yhtä aikaa monenlaisia asiantuntijuuden elementtejä. Etenkin a…
Student teachers' questioning behaviour which elicit conceptual explanation from students
2016
Getting students to explain their thinking is one of the big challenges in teachers’ work. Previous studies have analysed teacher questioning by focusing on amounts of different types of questions. In this study, I use questioning diagrams to see how questioning develops during the lessons. The data includes video recordings of student teachers’ mathematics lessons in secondary and upper secondary school. The data is analysed by constructing questioning diagram for each student teacher and locating conceptual explanations given by students. The lessons which included largest amount of conceptual explanations are further studied. In these lessons the student teachers had lengthy discussions …
Tracking student teachers' technology-enhanced collaborative problem solving: Combining objective assessment data with subjective verbal reporting
2016
In spite of increasing interest, technology-enhanced formative assessment practices reflecting 21st century skills are not yet much studied, particularly in teacher education context. Also, studies that combine both objective and subjective data around these practices are still rare. This study responds to these challenges in exploration of student teachers’ collaborative problem solving (CPS) processes. Relevant events in CPS tasks are tracked through process data acquired via ATC21S™ portal, and complemented with students’ interpretations of these processes as cued retrospective reports. The broader aim is to provide student teachers with hands-on experiences of using novel, technology-en…
Autorreflexión pedagógica
2019
The autobiographical reflection on school learning makes it possible to explain how personal life guidelines are loading teaching activity with experiences. Educational time does not consist only of a linear narration, but works as the evocation of temporal and spatial memories of an explanation of the present. Personal life is intertwined with school reflection to give meaning to what we decide from teaching
