Patterns of action transitions in online collaborative problem solving : A network analysis approach
2022
AbstractIn today’s digital society, computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and collaborative problem solving (CPS) have received increasing attention. CPS studies have often emphasized outcomes such as skill levels of CPS, whereas the action transitions in the paths to solve the problems related to these outcomes have been scarcely studied. The patterns within action transitions are able to capture the mutual influence of actions conducted by pairs and demonstrate the productivity of students’ CPS. The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to examine Finnish sixth graders’ (N = 166) patterns of action transitions during CPS in a computer-based assessment environment in w…
Face and Content Validity of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence in Young Children
2022
An international group of experts have developed a pictorial tool to measure perceived water competence for children aged from 5 to 8 years old: the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Water Competence (PSPWC).

In the first part of the study, 120 children were interviewed to investigate face validity of the PSPWC to ensure that all pictorial items were understandable. In the second part of the study, 13 scientific and/or pedagogical international experts were invited to assess the tool’s content validity via an online survey. Face validity results revealed that children were able to understand and sequence correctly the aq…

Suomalaisen viittomakielen taitotasokuvainten ja arviointikriteereiden kehittäminen Yleisissä kielitutkinnoissa
2019
Artikkelissa kuvaamme lyhyesti suomalaisen viittomakielen taitotasokuvainten ja arviointikriteereiden kehittämistä ja siihen liittyvää validointiprosessia Soveltavan kielentutkimuksen keskuksessa. Suomalaisessa viittomakielessä ei aiemmin ole ollut yhtenäisiä, teoreettisesti määriteltyjä kuvauksia viittomakielen taidon kehittymisestä. Nyt kehitetyissä taitotasokuvaimissa ja arviointikriteereissä viittomakielen taito on kuvattu kuusiportaisella asteikolla kolmessa eri osataidossa: viittomakielen ymmärtämisessä, viittomakielen itsenäisessä tuottamisessa ja viittomakielisessä keskustelussa. Kuvaimia ja kriteereitä voidaan soveltaa eri käyttötarkoituksiin, kuten kielen opetukseen, kielitaidon a…
