Opettajien kokemuksia CLIL-opetuksen eriyttämisestä : käsityksiä, käytänteitä ja haasteita

2012

Tämä laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen ja määrällisen kyselytutkimuksen yhdistävä kaksivaiheinen tutkimus käsittelee eriyttämistä CLIL-opetuksessa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää (1) alakoulussa englanninkielistä CLIL-opetusta toteuttavien opettajien käsityksiä eriyttämisestä, (2) heidän CLIL-opetuksessa käyttämiään eriyttämiskeinoja sekä (3) heidän kokemiaan eriyttämisen haasteita. Tutkimuksen ensimmäisen vaiheen tavoitteena on laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen avulla lisätä ymmärrystä ja tietoutta eriyttämisestä ilmiönä inklusiivisessa CLIL-opetuksessa ja tulla tietoiseksi erilaisista käytännön eriyttämiskeinoista, joita opettajat voivat työssään hyödyntää. Tutkimuksen toinen vaihe selvit…

Classroom behavioural climate in inclusive education – a study on secondary students’ perceptions

2021

Previous studies pointed out that dealing with difficult behaviour is perceived by teachers as a major challenge in inclusive settings. However, research on the students' perception of the classroom behavioural climate (CBC) is rare. Therefore, this study aims to examine students’ perceptions of CBC and to identify predictors of CBC as well as associated variables. The sample consists of 650 German students from secondary schools (5th-9th grade) of whom 83 students are diagnosed with special educational needs (SEN). CBC was measured via four subscales (‘students’ possibilities to study and concentrating on teaching’, ‘disruptive behaviour’, ‘physical and psychological safety’ and ‘caring fo…

Understanding the challenges of rapid digital transformation : the case of COVID-19 pandemic in higher education

2021

Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four pat…

Challenges Associated with Reading Acquisition in Sub-Saharan Africa : Promotion of Literacy in Multilingual Contexts

2019

Heikki Lyytinen and his co-authors note the problems of poorly trained teachers and large class sizes in Africa. Drawing on experience in Zambia, they present a case study of a digital game that can help overcome these problems and lead to more effective literacy instruction, particularly for students facing barriers to learning how to read. peerReviewed

AI ethics:an empirical study on the views of practitioners and lawmakers

2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and technologies are being increasingly adopted in smart systems contexts; however, such technologies are concerned with ethical uncertainties. Various guidelines, principles, and regulatory frameworks are designed to ensure that AI technologies adhere to ethical well-being. However, the implications of AI ethics principles and guidelines are still being debated. To further explore the significance of AI ethics principles and relevant challenges, we conducted a survey of 99 randomly selected representative AI practitioners and lawmakers (e.g., AI engineers and lawyers) from 20 countries across five continents. To the best of our knowledge, this is the …

Opettajien ja rehtorin työn haasteita Kodolányi János -peruskoulussa Unkarin Geresdlakissa

2014

Tutkimusongelmina oli selvittää opettajien ja rehtorin kohtaamia haasteita Geresdlakin koulussa Unkarissa. Toisena ongelmana oli saada mahdollisimman laaja historian tuntemus Geresdlakista ja sen lähiseuduista. Laaja historian ja tapahtumien tuntemus auttaa tutkijaa ja lukijaa paremmin ymmärtämään Geresdlakin nykytilannetta. Tutkimusote oli kvalitatiivinen tapaustutkimus ja tutkimusmenetelmänä yksilöhaastattelu. Haastatteluista nousseet viisi pääteemaa analyysiin ovat luottamuksen rakentaminen, oppilaiden heterogeenisyys, käytökseen liittyvät haasteet, työn jatkuvuus/epävarmuus työstä, ja koulutuksen antamat tiedot ja valmiudet. Opettajien suurin haaste on saada luottamuksellinen yhteistyö …

Ethnographic challenges to studying the poor in and from the global South

2020

The ethnographic challenges of studying urban poor communities in the global South have been rarely addressed from a methodological standpoint. These issues are also relevant to studies of, and work with, migrants from the global South. Based on nearly 300 interviews conducted between 2010 and 2018 in low-income neighbourhoods of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the last 20 of which were conducted through Skype interviews through mobile phone. I discuss the benefits and disadvantages of using Skype for interviewing in the global South. I then consider some challenges of conducting interviews among individuals with extremely low education levels, whose basic needs are not met in their daily lives. T…

Intimate Partner Violence in Finland

2021

High prevalence of intimate partner violence against women and high levels of gender equality in Finland yield to what has been called the “Nordic paradox.” It has been argued that the high level of gender equality has caused the need for IPV interventions and especially the gendered perspective to be overlooked. However, there has been recent and ongoing development in IPV intervention and prevention in regard to perpetrator programs, couple therapy, and programs to address post-separation stalking. Training programs for social and healthcare professionals and the police have been developed, as well as for teachers and other professionals at school. We hope the current government’s new act…
