Three orientations for understanding educational autonomy: school principals’ voices from Australia, Finland, and Jamaica

2021

This paper reports on the findings from a multi-site case study conducted in Australia, Finland and Jamaica which explored the conditions that enabled and constrained the autonomy of school principals. Systematic data collection was carried out in the form of interviews of school principals and the data was analysed using a qualitative approach. The analysis indicates that: (1) school principals’ practices are prefigured by the peculiarities of historical trajectories and ideological traditions enmeshed in schooling sites; (2) these prefiguring arrangements in turn influence varying realisations of autonomous decision making practices across national sites; and (3) even in the expression of…

Do intensified job demands predict burnout? How motivation to lead and leadership status may have a moderating effect

2023

ObjectivesThe aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate how intensified job demands (job-related planning demands, career-related planning demands, and learning demands) are associated with burnout. We explored whether affective-identity motivation to lead moderates this association and, thus, functions as a personal resource regardless of leadership status. We further investigated whether the possible buffering effect is stronger for those professionals who became leaders during the follow-up.MethodsOur sample consisted of highly educated Finnish professionals (n = 372): part of them (n = 63, 17%) occupied a leadership position during the 2-year follow-up while the rest maintained …

Development of Network Security Education

2021

Distance education has grown tremendously over the last decade. Internet technologies have enabled a large-scale dispensation of lectures, exercises, and training. Virtual Learning Management Systems (LMSs) offer a number of tools to realize distance education and distance learning. In this work, we present a virtual system architecture for training cyber security professionals with hands-on skills. The architecture is based on a VirtualBox virtualization environment. Guest machines are installed on an instance of VirtualBox. The installed environment offers a safe and isolated workbench for experiments. After installation and configuration of the environment, students perform a number of i…

Towards a Great Design of Conceptual Modelling

2020

Humankind faces a most crucial mission; we must endeavour, on a global scale, to restore and improve our natural and social environments. This is a big challenge for global information systems development and for their modelling. In this paper, we discuss on different aspects of conceptual modelling in global environmental context. The paper is the summary of the panel session “The Future of Conceptual Modelling” in the 29th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases. peerReviewed

Automatic content analysis in collaborative inquiry-based learning

2019

In the field of science education, content analysis is a popular way to analyse collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) processes. However, content analysis is time-consuming when conducted by humans. In this paper, we introduce an automatic content analysis method to identify the different inquiry-based learning (IBL) phases from authentic student face-to-face discussions. We illustrate the potential of automatic content analysis by comparing the results of manual content analysis (conducted by humans) and automatic content analysis (conducted by computers). Both the manual and automatic content analyses were based on manual transcriptions of 11 groups’ CIBL processes. Two researchers …

Vieraasta kielestä omiksi sanoiksi: Mitä Vološinov sanoi kielen oppimisesta ja opettamisesta?

2014

Toisten ja vieraiden kielten opettamisen perustana ovat mm. erilaiset kieltä ja sen oppimista koskevat käsitykset. Mitä siis opetetaan, kun opetetaan kieltä? Mitä opiskelija kokee oppivansa, kun hän opiskelee kieltä? Mitä arvioidaan, kun arvioidaan kielitaitoa? Usein kieltä – kielenopetuksen keskeisintä käsitettä – tunnutaan pitävän itsestään selvänä. Sitä se ei kuitenkaan ole. Muuttuva maailma ja uudet teoreettiset näkökulmat pakottavat tarkistamaan myös kielikäsityksiä. Tässä artikkelissa esittelen dialogista kielikäsitystä ja keskityn erityisesti Valentin N. Vološinovin antiin. nonPeerReviewed

Changing society - changing language learning and teaching practices?

2012

Swift and unexpected changes have taken place in society over the past few decades: globalisation, increasing mobility, labour market changes and fast technological development have transformed society, making it multicultural, multilingual and multimodal. Education – and here above all language education – is at the centre of most societal activities and should be able to react to the changes quickly and flexibly. However, the changes in education are slow, and the views of the parties involved in the various levels of education as to the changes and their consequences do not always correspond. The purpose of this article is to outline the field of language education in the midst of the cu…
