Discussing Mathematical Learning and Mathematical Praxeologies from a Subject Scientific Perspective
2018
International audience; This programmatic contribution discusses the link between concepts from Anthropological Theory of Didactics (ATD) and the “subject-scientific point of view” according to Holzkamp (1985, 1993). The main common concern of ATD and the subject-scientific approach is to conceptualize and analyse “objects” like “institutionalized mathematical knowledge” and “university” not as conditions that cause reactions but essentially as meanings in the sense of generalized societal reified action possibilities. The link of both approaches is illustrated by the issue of “real numbers” in the transition from school to university: Hypotheses are derived for further actual-empirical res…
Where do these rails go? : drama in education in practising fluency for upper secondary school English students
2012
Draamakasvatuksessa oppiminen tapahtuu prosessina kokemusten ja toiminnan kautta. Sen vahvuus kielten opetuksen oppikirjoissa on yleensä tehtävinä, jotka tarjoavat valmiiksi kirjoitettuja vuoropuheluita. Kielen oppimisen kannalta sujuvan, normaalin kielenkäytön opetus on tärkeää ja draama antaa sille mahdollisuuden. Oppilaat tarvitsevat kaiken muun ohella mahdollisuuksia käyttää vierasta kieltä uusissa tilanteissa ja tehdä se tavalla, jolla he pystyvät itse luomaan kommunikointinsa ilman tarkkoja repliikkejä. Tämä oppimateriaali perustuu draamakasvatuksen hyötyihin, jotka on mahdollista sisällyttää kielten opetukseen ja joita muut metodit eivät tarjoa. Oppimateriaali pyrkii tuomaan kielen t…
Debrecen (suomen kielen yliopisto-opetuksesta Unkarissa ja lähialueilla)
2008
Teaching of Finnish at the University of Debrecen has, at least so far, suc-cessfully taken part in the Bologna Process. In the new curriculum, Finnish studies is a 50 ECTS module in Bachelor’s degree and has an own MA programme. In language teaching, above all, communicative skills are aimed at. Student theses are written mainly in the field of linguistics. In the surrounding society, Finnish language and culture are frequently presented and valued highly. Debrecen has excellent exchange prog-rammes to Finland and especially to Jyväskylä, its twin city and univer-sity. Career opportunities for graduates are various. Typically, students attain jobs according to their main subject. However, …
La Self-Efficacy degli insegnanti di sostegno in formazione iniziale
2021
Nell’ultimo ventennio gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy hanno sempre più indagato le percezioni degli insegnanti e come queste influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 1591 studenti iscritti al V ciclo del corso per il conseguimento della specializzazione per le attività di sostegno didattico per gli alunni con disabilità dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. In the last twenty years, studies on Self-Effic…
Do videowikis on the web support better (constructivist) learning in the basics of information systems science?
2012
This paper describes the combination of a wiki and screen capture videos as a complementary addition to conventional lectures in an information management and information systems development course. Our basis was collaborative problem-based learning with the problems defined by students. The idea was that students were expected to find concepts or issues from four lecture themes which are not well-defined or clarified for them. The students worked in small groups of two or three students or they completed the coursework individually. First, the students selected the theme which was most unclear for them. Second, the students selected the problematic things from this area and created the pre…
Using Video Conferencing and Video Recordings for Upper Secondary Distance Teaching: Teachers' View Points
2016
In Finland the “Isoverstas” (formely ISOverkosto) network of schools coordinates the development of upper secondary distance learning services. The community actually is quite extensive with 65 member schools. In this paper we introduce the results related using synchronous and asynchronous online video resources for distance teaching. The topic is approached broadly at the level of schools and different support services as well as the pedagogical practices of individual teachers. The research data consists of wiki stories written by teachers, the interviews of selected teachers, and an online survey. Data-based content analysis was chosen as the main analysis method with the aim of highlig…
Towards Computer-based Exams in CS1
2017
Even though IDEs are often a central tool when learning to program in CS1, many teachers still lean on paper-based exams. In this study, we examine the “test mode effect” in CS1 exams using the Rainfall problem. The test mode was two-phased. Half of the participants started working on the problem with pen and paper, while the other half had access to an IDE. After submitting their solution, all students could rework their solution on an IDE. The experiment was repeated twice during subsequent course instances. The results were mixed. From the marking perspective, there was no statistically significant difference resulting from the mode. However, the students starting with the paper-based pa…
Innovators and innovated: Newspapers and the postdigital future beyond the “death of print”
2017
Along with other cultural organizations, newspapers, through waves of digital disruption, have become subject to a dominant narrative of crisis. But newspapers have long participated in change. A constructivist approach, qualified by consideration of media materiality, draws attention to diverse but essential processes of innovation around them. We see a contraflow of migration from digital to print, opening up a shared media space; bonding strategies are bringing multimedia to ink on paper, while bridging via boundary objects such as QR (Quick Response) codes are connecting the two. Among other initiatives, development of automation of news production and experiments with transparency are …
Let's talk business! : a task-based material package of public speaking and small talk in the BELF context
2012
Arvioiden mukaan lähivuosina yli kolmannes maailman ihmisistä käyttää englannin kieltä. Tämä on jo vuosia näkynyt ja tulee myös tulevaisuudessa yhä enemmän näkymään kansainvälisessä liike-elämässä, jossa englantia käytetään lingua francana. Eritoten englannin suullinen taito, kuten julkinen puhuminen ja small talk, näyttelevät suurta roolia tässä kontekstissa. Huomionarvoista on kuitenkin se, että hyvin usein liike-elämän kieli- ja viestintäkoulutuksen opetusmateriaalit epäonnistuvat valmistamaan kansainvälisen liike-elämän toimijoita tosielämän tilanteisiin. Tästä johtuen olen maisterintutkielmassani koonnut opetusmateriaalipaketin, jonka keskiössä on ensinnäkin tulevien liike-elämän toimi…
An Edutainment Implementation in an English Vocational Training Class
2021
Edutainment ha sido definido como la unión entre la educación y el entretenimiento, aspectos que todo profesor querría tener en sus clases. Sin embargo, todavía no hay una implementación suficiente del enfoque para afirmar de una forma clara si es útil utilizarlo en las clases de aprendizaje de segundas lenguas o lenguas extranjeras. Este estudio tiene la ambición de contribuir a la comunidad educativa con un caso que podría ser un punto de partida para futuras investigaciones. En este trabajo se describe una investigación que duró 2 semanas en dos grupos de alumnos de 1º de un curso superior de formación profesional, donde se implementó el Edutainment en el grupo experimental y se implemen…
