An exploration into the applicability of school principals' training on the principals' leadership practices in Finland

2012

Quality leadership preparation has been shown to have positive influences on leadership practices of graduates. With five formal categories of leadership training programmes in the decentralized Finnish educational system, little is known about the leadership practices of graduates. This study explored the applicability of training on principals’ self-assessed leadership practices in Central Finland. Eight semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with principals from schools in and around the municipality of Jyväskylä. Purposive sampling was used as all participants had taken the advanced educational leadership training at the University of Jyväskylä in addition to other trainin…

Sotilaita vai seikkailijoita? : varusmiespalveluksen johtajakoulutuksen merkityksiä naisille uran ja johtamisosaamisen kannalta

2017

This thesis examines women in military leadership training in Finnish military service. The aim of this empirical qualitative PhD study is to explore the meanings of military leadership training to young women from a career and leadership competency viewpoint. The study reply to the following research questions: 1) How do women describe the meanings of military leadership training to their career? - Why did the women voluntarily participate in military service? - What did the women tell they pursued while participating in voluntary military leadership training from a career point of view? - What kind of factors for early career advantages or obstacles did the narratives include for the wome…

Co-costruzione dell'apprendimento: dalla pratica riflessiva all'azione. Inquiry-Based Laboratory e action learning nella formazione dei futuri docent…

2022

Il presente lavoro espone gli esiti di una ricerca sperimentale a gruppo unico, condotta con 1350 corsisti e 120 docenti di laboratorio frequentanti il V ciclo del corso di specializzazione per le attività di sostegno didattico per le scuole dell’infanzia, primaria, secondaria di primo e secondo grado dell’Ateneo di Palermo svoltosi nell’A.A. 2020/2021. La cornice teorica all’interno della quale si delinea la ricerca è quella dell’approccio Inquiry-Based Laboratory (IBL), del Reflective Learning e dell’Action Learning, fondamentale per la costruzione di una professionalità docente competente, consapevole e responsabile. Il percorso di ricerca ha applicato il modello dell’IBL alle attività l…

Corporeità e formazione: il ruolo della Danza Movimento Terapia nei corsi universitari di Scienze dell'Educazione

2019

A partire da una riflessione sulle specificità professionali degli educatori e dall'intreccio della dimensione personale con quella professionale nelle professioni educative, Il saggio tratta della necessità di adottare una nuova prospettiva formativa, che consideri l'unità mente-corpo, la dimensione artistica e la riflessività nei processi di apprendimento dei futuri educatori. Esplicita quindi le ragioni di un apprendimento dall'esperienza e sottolinea l'importanza della dimensione di gruppo, approfondendo infine le peculiarità della Danza Movimento terapia e l'efficacia di un percorso laboratoriale che utilizzi le sue metodologie Reflecting about educators professional specificities and …

Neural Adaptations to Strength Training

2018

Scientific study of strength training has revealed numerous physiological mechanisms that contribute to: (1) acute fatigue from a single strength training session and (2) chronic adaptation to repetitive and systematic strength training. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is initially to discuss potential neural mechanisms that influence force production from the perspective of a single repetition. Thereafter, the chapter will highlight scientific evidence for candidate neural mechanisms that acutely limit force production during a single strength training session and long-term adaptations caused by strength training. For some of these potential neural mechanisms, there is strong scient…

Effect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey protein

2010

Regardless of age or gender, resistance training or provision of adequate amounts of dietary protein (PRO) or essential amino acids (EAA) can increase muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in healthy adults. Combined PRO or EAA ingestion proximal to resistance training, however, can augment the post-exercise MPS response and has been shown to elicit a greater anabolic effect than exercise plus carbohydrate. Unfortunately, chronic/adaptive response data comparing the effects of different protein sources is limited. A growing body of evidence does, however, suggest that dairy PRO, and whey in particular may: 1) stimulate the greatest rise in MPS, 2) result in greater muscle cross-sectional area when…

A Case of Four Prospective Adult Class Teachers’ Mathematical Identity Work

2018

Research on adult students’ the mathematical identity work has not been explored so much. In this study I try to understand four prospective adult class teachers’ identity works on the basis of their learning diaries during a mathematics education course (6 ECTS). These four prospective class teachers’ reported they had negative experiences of mathematics during their school years but later in their lives the views towards mathematics had changed to a positive direction. However, the identity work during the mathematics education course revealed that life experiences had not changed the most fundamental views towards mathematics, mathematics learning and teaching. During the mathematics edu…

Individuality of responses to bilateral and unilateral volume equated hypertrophic strength training in physically active men

2019

Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible differences between unilateral and bilateral strength training during ten weeks progressive hypertrophic strength training and six weeks detraining period. Furthermore, it was examined possible different individual responders in muscle hypertrophy during strength training and, how those different responders would behave during the detraining phase following the training period. Methods. The present intervention included ten weeks of progressive hypertrophic resistance training followed by six weeks of detraining in healthy young men (n=24). Ultrasound was used to measure vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross-sectional area (…

Isometric force-time parameters in monitoring of strength training : with special reference to acute responses to different loading resistances

2017

The aim of the present series of studies was to investigate acute neuromuscular responses to (1) different strength training loadings and using (2) different external resistances. In addition, chronic adaptations and dynamic performances were compared to (3) the changes in isometric force-time parameters at the group level, and to (4) the individual timing of the improvement in the rate of force development (RFD) due to hypertrophic or maximum strength followed by power strength training periods. The latter one was achieved by systematic, repeated monitoring. Sixty-nine physically active men (20-35 yrs), but not experienced in resistance training, took part in the present series of studies.…
