: Influence of tenth graders' personal school experiences on their achievement and curriculum choices

2005

This study shows that various dimensions of students' school experiences (namely academic self-evaluation and their attitude towards certain subjects) have a significant influence on their academic achievement (French and Mathematics), as well as on their curriculum choices. The results should encourage teachers and counsellors to take into account students' personal biases when helping them to either construct academic projects or to avoid academic failure.

Highest Academic Educational Expertise and Working Career

2016

21st century skills are multidimensional and highly demanding, especially in highest academic level. Academic education is facing new challenges and expectations which are set e.g. by working life and individuals in academic contexts.

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli suorittaa monikansallinen vertailu akateemisista perheyrittäjyyden opinnoista ja sitä kautta löytää uutta opetusmateriaalia, jonka avulla voidaan kehit…

The Agency and Practical Learning of a Lay Advocate in Seventeenth-Century Helsinki : The Case of Gabriel Abrahamsson

2018

This chapter discusses seventeenth-century Sweden, where academically trained advocates and procurators emerged but attempts of advocacy monopoly failed. The case of Gabriel Abrahamsson—a son of a pastor, a former cavalryman and farmer, and, later on, a lower-level civil servant in Helsinki—proves that no specific privileged status or academic education was needed for advocacy in lower courts. The tradition to use any reasonable man as a legal representative continued, and trusted men from various social backgrounds with self-acquired legal skills acted as lay advocates.
