Lärarnas uppfattningar av att inleda undervisningen i A1-språk i årskurs 1

2022

Since 2020, the teaching of the A1 language starts in grade 1. In order to study the shift to an earlier start to the teaching of the A1 language, a survey of the teaching of A1 languages in grade 1 was carried out with the focus on the most common A1 languages: Finnish in the Swedish-medium schools and English in the Finnish-medium schools. The article examines the teachers’ perceptions of starting the teaching of A1 languages in grade 1. The data consists of 644 answers to an online questionnaire, of which 94 apply to A1 Finnish and 550 to A1 English. The results show that the teachers generally have a positive perception of early language teaching and consider starting the language in gr…

English teaching in Finnish upper secondary schools : students' and teachers' perceptions

2014

Englannin opetus on käynyt läpi monia muutoksia ajan kuluessa. Globalisoituvan yhteiskunnan myötä englannin käyttö on yleistynyt ja kieltä opitaan myös muualla kuin koulumaailmassa. Tämä asettaa haasteita englannin opetukselle ja opettajien onkin mietittävä, miten opetusta voisi kehittää nykyajan vaatimuksia ja tarpeita vastaavaksi. Tässä kehittämistyössä on tärkeää ottaa myös oppilaat ja heidän mielipiteensä huomioon. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää millaista englannin opetus nykyään on suomalaisissa lukioissa. Erityisesti tutkimus pyrkii saamaan selville, käytetäänkö tunneilla enemmän perinteisiä vai innovatiivisia opetusmenetelmiä. Perinteisillä opetusmenetelmillä tarkoiteta…

Analysis of corrective feedback in a multilingual classroom context from a CLIL perspective.

2017

Esta tesis doctoral analiza el feedback correctivo en una clase plurilingüe desde una perspectiva CLIL. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el feedback que tiende a ser utilizado cuando se corrigen los errores orales en clase comparando diferentes asignaturas, todas ellas impartidas en lengua inglesa. Para ello se analiza la relación entre tipos de feedback y tipos de errores en diferentes asignaturas. Lo que se intenta averiguar es qué estrategias normalmente se eligen para corregir, qué tipo de error es el más frecuente y si hay alguna relación entre tipo de error, el feedback utilizado y la asignatura. Para el estudio se realizaron grabaciones de las clases con video cámara. Las asig…

The Analysis of teachinpractices at school and at university

2011

It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…

A New Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT) to Assess the Quality of Life at Work in the Italian Academic Context

2022

Refereed/Peer-reviewed The present study provides evidence for a valid and reliable tool, the Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT), to investigate the quality of life at work in academics within the Italian university sector. The AQ@workT was developed by the QoL@Work research team, namely a group of expert academics in the field of work and organizational psychology affiliated with the Italian Association of Psychologists. The tool is grounded in the job demands-resources model and its psychometric properties were assessed in three studies comprising a wide sample of lecturers, researchers, and professors: a pilot study (N = 120), a calibration study (N = 1084), and a validation study …

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el proceso de adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior del cuestionario de opinión del alumnado sobre la docencia de su profesorado que se ha seguido en la Universidad del País Vasco. En este proceso se ha adoptado una metodología mixta. Tras efectuar la revisión de los cuestionarios de otras universidades, teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico del nuevo cuestionario, las competencias transversales adoptadas por la Universidad y las tres dimensiones que señala la ANECA, se redactaron una serie de indicadores y posibles ítems susceptibles de conformar el nuevo cuestionario. Este marco teórico, los indicadores e ítems fueron contrastados en di…

Using a blended approach to enrich MOOCs on Finnish education

2021

Blended education embraces various combinations of face-to-face and online teaching. It has become a normal part of higher education degree programmes. Since the late 1990s, the Open University of the University of Jyväskylä (JYUOpen) has been offering online and blended education for its rapidly growing number of students. For many years now, Finnish education has ranked high in PISA research. Furthermore, the University of Jyväskylä has been successful in global rankings, especially in the field of education (Shanghai Ranking: 36, QS World University Rankings: 51–100 and Times Higher Education: 67). In order to present the success factors of the Finnish education system, we offered our fi…
