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

Written essay feedback given by a teacher and as experienced by students

2016

Kirjallinen tuottaminen on olennainen osa kielten kouluopetusta Suomessa. Perinteisesti kirjalliset tuotokset arvioidaan ja opettaja antaa niistä palautetta. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma selvittää yhden lukioryhmän osalta, millaista palautetta opettaja antoi heidän kirjoittamistaan esseistä ja kuinka oppilaat kokivat tämän palautteen. Tutkielmassa on käytetty sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusotteita. Ensin oppilaat kirjoittivat lukiokurssillaan esseet, jotka opettaja arvosteli ja antoi niistä kommentteja. Sitten nämä esseet kommentteineen kerättiin ja palautteelle tehtiin sisällönanalyysi teorialähtöisesti Hattien ja Timperleyn mallin (2007) mukaan. Palaute oli pääosin varsin positii…

Learning to be a university student: reflective practice and study strategies of future teachers

2022

Every change in human life brings along an adaptation process. University transition includes most turbulent developmental periods of life as these years stand for the last stage of adolescence and can be considered as a critical transitional period both socially and biologically. In addition to the general confusion of adolescence, this period includes many problems such as leaving home and family, choosing friends and groups, being a candidate for a profession and finding a job. While making the transition to the academic life, students have to find their own identity, adopt and reconcile the values of the local and childhood period socially, the national and universal values of the socie…
