2019
Ar skolotāja profesionālo pilnveidi bieži saprot tālākizglītības kursu un semināru apmeklēšanu, taču viena no 21. gadsimta izglītības sistēmas inovācijām ir mācīšanās mijiedarbībā un sadarbībā, ko sauc par “mācīšanu komandā”. Skolotāja maģistra pieredzes darbā ir pētīts mācīšanas komandā potenciāls veicināt skolotāja profesionālo pilnveidi. Tā kā mācīšana komandā ir saistīta ar vismaz diviem cilvēkiem un to vislabāk var saprast no personīgās pieredzes perspektīvas, maģistra darba autores ir divas angļu valodas kā svešvalodas skolotājas, kas ir veikušas sešu ciklu darbības pētījumu, kas kā datu vākšanas metodes ietver grupas diskusiju, skolotāju dienasgrāmatas, anketu skolēniem un refleksija…
Policy-practice gap in participation of students with disabilities in the education and training programme of Ethiopia: policy content analysis

Emotions in Technology Design
2020
Understanding emotions is becoming ever more valuable in design, both in terms of what people prefer as well as in relation to how they behave in relation to it. Approaches to conceptualising emotions in technology design, how emotions can be operationalised and how they can be measured are paramount to ascertaining the core principles of design.Emotions in Technology Design: From Experience to Ethics provides a multi-dimensional approach to studying, designing and comprehending emotions in design. It presents emotions as understood through basic human-technology research, applied design practice, culture and aesthetics, ethical approaches to emotional design, and ethics as a cultural frame…
Professional identity in relation to vocational teachers’ work : an identity-centred approach to professional development
2018
This paper reports a study on teachers’ professional identity and work in vocational education. The findings showed that vocational teachers’ work included vocational teaching within the school, developmental work, technology-enhanced work, professional duties outside the school, and educational duties within the school. Furthermore, the study revealed the harmonious and tensioned relationships between these elements of the work and teachers’ identities. Recognition of the nuanced nature of these relationships provides a perspective for promoting teachers’ professional development. From a practical perspective, there is a need to support vocational teachers’ identity work and the adoption o…
Not just daycare: nordic mothers in research, development and innovation navigating work and childcare
2022
Nordic welfare policies mitigate work–childcare reconciliation; however, they are not enough for mothers working in intensive work cultures. In addition, there are differences among the three Nordic states in both work–family policies and cultural norms as to how they should be used. In this article, we study the resources mothers who work in research, development and innovation (R&D&I) in Finland, Norway and Sweden rely on in their work–childcare reconciliation. Thematic analysis of interviews with 74 professionals resulted in identifying four main resources: father involvement, parental leave system and daycare, flexible working, and grandparent help and networks. Our analysis brings to v…

2021
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan lukion historian opettajien käsityksiä aineistopohjaisen esseen arvioinnista ja siihen vaikuttavista piirteistä tiedonalan tekstitaitojen näkökulmasta. Aineisto koostuu opettajien ryhmähaastatteluista ja lukiolaisten kirjoittamista aineistopohjaisista esseistä. Haastattelut analysoitiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin avulla ja esseiden kielellisiä piirteitä systeemis-funktionaalisen kieliteorian avulla. Analyysissä keskityttiin opettajien arvostamiin esseen piirteisiin ja niiden kielellisiin toteumiin. Opettajien arvostamissa piirteissä korostuivat erityisesti sisältötiedon hallinta sekä tehtävänannon noudattaminen. Aineiston käyttöön ja opiskelijan omaan pohdintaa…
Monilukutaito lukion historian opetuksessa
2019
Lukion opetussuunnitelman perusteisiin (Opetushallitus, 2015) on sisällytetty Monilukutaidot ja media -aihekokonaisuus, jossa monilukutaito määritellään taitoina tulkita ja tuottaa erilaisia tekstejä. Jokaisen opettajan odotetaan opettavan oman tiedonalansa tekstitaitoja, joiden alakohtaisuus pohjaa tiedonmuodostuksen käytänteisiin. Tällä korostetaan eri oppiaineiden sisältötiedon hallinnan lisäksi myös tekstitaitojen kehittymistä kaikissa oppiaineissa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelemme, millaisena monilukutaito ja erityisesti tiedonalan tekstitaitojen opetus näyttäytyvät lukion historian opetuksessa. Tutkimuksen aineisto on kerätty suomenkielisten lukioiden historian opettajille suunnatun k…
Child socioemotional behavior and adult temperament as predictors of physical activity and sedentary behavior in late adulthood

This longitudinal study investigated whether socioemotional behavior in childhood and temperament in middle adulthood predict accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior in late adulthood. Methods This study was based on the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS). Socioemotional behavior (behavioral ac…
Sensory testing in new product development: working with children
2015
Abstract This chapter aims at briefly reviewing applications of sensory descriptive testing methods with children, as well as their limits in relation to the cognitive development of children. Children’s sensory perceptions and preferences may differ from those of adults, which may make working directly with children a must for successful product development, at least at some stages of product development. However, most reported studies with children have characterized their preferences. Some studies have used discrimination tests and ranking tasks to gain knowledge about differences among products, or about sensory abilities development. A much smaller number of studies have involved child…
