Measuring higher-order cognitive skills with multiple choice questions:potentials and pitfalls of Finnish teacher education entrance

2023

This mixed methods study examines the structure of the multiple-choice exam for student selection in Finnish teacher education. Through qualitative content analysis, we categorized multiple-choice ques-tions into items that assessed lower-and higher-order cognitive processes based on the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded four factors that represented lower-and higher-order cognitive processing skills and comprehension of empirical and theoretical items. These were associated with matriculation examination grades, especially with the average grade and the mother tongue grade. When developing future multiple-choice exams for admissions, we recommen…

Exploring Finnish Guidance Counselors’ Conceptions of Career Management Skills

2020

This article reports the findings from a phenomenographic investigation into guidance counselors’ conceptions of career management skills (CMS). The results show that CMS was conceived as (a) information-based knowledge, (b) personal skills development, (c) interpersonal skills development, and (d) autonomous application of skills. The differences appeared along six dimensions of variation that included awareness of CMS, emphasis, promotion of CMS, teaching practice, assessment, and attitude. The findings give us a more profound understanding of critical aspects that may have an important role in the development of individual’s CMS.

Why Finnish polytechnics reject top applicants

2019

I use a panel of higher education clearinghouse data to study the centralized assignment of applicants to Finnish polytechnics. Many top applicants remain completely unassigned each year. The same applicants' future applications reveal that many of them should have been admitted to a different program immediately. The application system, however, discourages applicants from applying to multiple programs within the same year, while at the same time leaving them in the dark on the set of programs willing to admit them. Improvements to the application system have the potential to substantially reduce reapplications, thereby shortening long queues into Finnish higher education. peerReviewed

Soveltuvuuskoe vai ei? : sosiaalialan ammattilaisten käsityksiä alansa korkeakouluopiskelijoiden ja työntekijöiden soveltuvuudesta alalle

2016

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää sosiaalialan ammattilaisten käsityksiä alansa korkeakoulujen opiskelijavalinnasta sekä soveltuvuuskokeen tarpeesta osana opiskelijavalintoja. Tarkoituksena on myös tutkia sitä, miten opiskelijoiden ja työntekijöiden soveltumattomuus tai hyvä soveltuvuus alalle näyttäytyy koulutuksen aikana ja myöhemmin työelämässä. Sosiaalialan korkeakouluilla tarkoitetaan tässä tutkimuksessa ammattikorkeakoulujen sosionomikoulutusta sekä yliopistojen sosiaalityön koulutusta, joista ensin mainitussa opiskelijoiden soveltuvuuden testaamisella on ollut pitkään vakiintunut asema. Tarkoituksena on tuottaa uutta tietoa aiheesta, jota varsinkin Suomessa on tutkittu väh…
