Collaborative Problem Solving in Finnish Pre-service Teacher Education: A Case Study
2017
This chapter provides results from a case study utilising the ATC21STM assessment portal in the context of pre-service teacher education in Finland. The results from the portal are combined with a questionnaire regarding teamwork and collaboration dispositions. Twenty-four pre-service teachers completed both these measures. The students of this study were following two divergent teacher education programs that had different profiles in terms of their study contents and methods of studying. The participants of both groups tended to be highly disposed to collaborate and work in teams, and their collaborative problem solving skills can be described as very good. The participants’ measured soci…
Student teachers and their attitudes towards ICT: Lessons learned from three different countries
2021
This paper explores the attitudes that student teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain convey to digital technologies in formal educational settings as they start the 1st semester. A number of studies look at educational inclinations and employment of digital technologies (Granić & Marangunić, 2019; Ritter, 2017; Scherer & Teo, 2019). We have chosen to examine student teachers’ attitudes towards the professional use of digital technologies within a pedagogical framework. In this respect, a comparative qualitative analysis of one open-ended question that forms part of a more extensive questionnaire distributed to all participants is considered. The employed analytical lens subsequently …
Collaborative Musical Creativity between Students and Adults: The Sonorous Paella
2021
While creativity is a key element of contemporary curriculum frameworks around the world, it is still insufficiently fostered in formal education settings. This study analyzes a project for collaborative musical creativity, entitled The Sonorous Paella. Participants (N = 12) were eight Year 4 secondary students, two professional musicians, an artist-in-residence, and a music teacher. Drawing on a graphic musical score, the participants worked together for 1.5 months to produce a group composition and performance. They were provided with various sound producers (instruments, everyday objects, technological devices) and were encouraged to flexibly utilize the physical space to maximize collab…

LEGITIMATION OF VIRTUE EDUCATION IN TEACHER TRAINING DISCOURSE DURING SOVIET LATVIA
2019
Soviet virtue education had a relevant place in the discourse of the founders of communism and in the Communist Party’s documents.

What elements of the Soviet approach to character education facilitated the consolidation of totalitarianism in Latvia?This research is based on written academic sources published in Soviet Latvia about virtue education and intended to schoo…
Espressione scritta per lo sviluppo della creatività e della capacità critica in Università
2018
La scoperta della scrittura ha svincolato il pensiero dal contesto e lo ha reso capace di interpretare i messaggi linguistici a partire solamente dalla parola e dalle loro connessioni logiche, ragionamento logico che permette argomentazioni più ampie, categorizzazioni più sistematiche, codificazioni sempre più precise. L’attività di scrittura favorisce l’acquisizione di schemi cognitivi utili alla strutturazione logica del pensiero, promuove abilità di pianificazione e di organizzazione delle proprie idee in modo rigoroso, contribuisce allo sviluppo di capacità espressive formali. I saggi sono stati corretti usando “la Guida per la correzione dei temi” di Calonghi e Boncori (2006). Dalla co…
Relationships and linguistically sensitive teaching : Developing teacher practicum at Åbo Akademi University
2020
Project “Linguistically sensitive teaching in all classrooms” (Listiac) aims to make an impact on initial teacher education systems in Europe through action research. In line with European policies, the seven partner countries including Finland, Spain (the autonomous Basque country and Catalonia), Belgium, France, Slovenia, Lithuania and Portugal work together in providing competences and skills needed for handling linguistic diversity in our schools. Diversity education has been regarded nearly everywhere as an isolated ‘add-on’ course or study module (EC 2017). Thus, it has remained insufficiently mainstreamed as an integrated component of teaching practice. Listiac addresses this imbalan…
Between theory and practice – foreign language teacher students’ cognition of oral proficiency and grammar teaching in Sweden
2019
The present study explores patterns of cognition among 14 foreign language (FL) teacher students in Sweden regarding teaching oral proficiency and grammar in French German, Italian and Spanish. It is based on reflective cumulative log texts written by the students during a theoretical course in FL pedagogy. The log texts were investigated using qualitative content analysis to uncover central themes and patterns of agency. The findings indicate, among other things, that the FL teacher students hold strong experience-based cognitions regarding teaching both oral proficiency and grammar, and that, regardless if their FL learning experiences at school were based on form-focused teaching or comm…
