Gauguin, Conrad y Leiris, un episodio en la invención de la identidad del primitivo
1997
Me propongo mostrar cómo uno de los elementos más omnipresentes en nuestra autocomprensión, el consideramos civilizados y el usar constantemente el concepto de «civilización» como valor desde el cual formular muchos de nuestros juicios, ha necesitado de la construcción de una “identidad primitiva”. Esa invención de la identidad primitiva se ha dado al hilo de la elaboración del discurso antropológico, pero no solo. Pues no es menos cierto que a esa invención también contribuyeron otro tipo de textos no menos responsables de que el concepto de «primitivo» todavía prevalezca en nuestro sistema de sentido común, aun a pesar de las críticas muy de detalle que le ha dedicado la antropología empí…

Early Immersion in Minority Language Contexts: Canada and Finland
2020
This chapter discusses early immersion in a minority language in two bilingual countries, Canada and Finland. In Canada, immersion in the minority language, French, has been implemented since the mid-1960s and Finland introduced immersion in Swedish in the mid-1980s. As the core features of immersion education evolve in tandem with second language education theorizing (particularly as it relates to the interdependence and hybridity between and within languages), so too does the need to revisit the relevance of these core features across different contexts. In this vein, this chapter compares how changing socio-political realities in the two contexts have influenced program development in re…
Miten monikielisyys ja kielitietoiset toimintatavat koetaan varhaiskasvatuksessa?
2020
Monikielisyyden tukeminen on vahvasti esillä uusimmissa varhaiskasvatuksen opetussuunnitelmissa. Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa varhaiskasvatuksen toimijoiden kokemuksia monikielisyydestä ja kielitietoisista toimintatavoista. Tutkimus perustuu monikielisessä lapsiryhmässä työskentelevälle henkilöstölle suunnattuun kyselyaineistoon (n = 86). Aineisto analysoitiin temaattista analyysia ja sisällön erittelyä hyödyntävän sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Artikkelin päähuomio kohdistuu siihen, miten varhaiskasvattajat ovat suhtautuneet toimintaympäristön monikielistymiseen, ja mitä tämä osaltaan kertoo monikielisyysja kielenoppimiskäsitysten murroksesta. Lisäksi kuvaamme henkilöstön kokemuksia siitä,…
Stabilise, balance and adjust : Framing the early years transitions of children whose parents work non‐standard hours
2022
This study examined talk by parents about the early years transitions of their children (n = 7) in the context of parental non-standard working hours and Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. Parents were interviewed at three time points: when their child was aged one, four, five or six years (a total of 21 interviews). The third interview was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article focuses on the children's ECEC transitions and the interpretative frames used by parents when talking about their work and childcare. The frames used by the parents to discuss the children's transitions were stabilising the children's lives, balancing between staying at home an…
Implementing positive behaviour intervention and support in Finnish early childhood education and care : leadership team’s perspective
2023
The effective implementation of positive behaviour intervention and support (PBIS) requires both organisational and professional change. This means that the whole community including all educators and children commit to shared principles, practices, and structures to create a safe and supportive social climate. In this article, we investigate the initial implementation of the Finnish PBIS ProVaka in eighteen early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. Our inductive qualitative analysis of longitudinal progress diary data focuses on roles, responsibilities and communication among the ECEC communities. The results show that successful ProVaka development is a matter of successfully exp…
Teachers’ language practices and choices in a bilingual, co-located kindergarten in Finland
2022
This article explores the language practices and choices of four teachers in a co-located kindergarten in Finland. Following Finland’s official bilingualism, the education system is built on two tracks –Finnish and Swedish. As official languages of Finland, the two languages share the same status, but since Finnish is the registered language of the vast majority of the population, Swedish can be seen as a de facto minority language –one reason why Swedish education has been seen as an important space for maintaining Swedish language and culture. This constitutes an important perspective for research on Finnish and Swedish early childhood education units that are located in the same building…
Children’s strategic participation in a bilingual Early Childhood Education and Care Centre
2020
This article considers children’s language learning experiences at an early childhood education and care centre (ECEC) in Central Finland. The article draws on data gathered as part of a Master’s thesis study (Holmila, 2019) which looked at the perspectives of staff, parents and children regarding the use of English as part of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology at the ECEC, with a view to future developments of CLIL provision. This article considers what can be learned from the children’s perspectives. Following a brief overview of the advantages of bilingual educational programmes and the educational context for this study, the main section of this article focu…
Parental Perceptions of the Ideal Foreign Language Teacher : Voices from Eight Countries
2020
Early language education has become a global trend as parents from around the world increasingly enroll their children in language classes at preschool or pre-preschool ages. The younger the FL learners are, the greater the parents’ role in their children’s learning process – and the more they may be motivated to be involved in their children’s schoolwork, learning aims, and the way they are being instructed. But what do they want from FL teachers when their children are just beginning their language studies? This topic brought together 14 students from different parts of the world. Students from Canada, China, Colombia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and Vietnam enrolled in the…
Progressive non-linear damage of variable angle tow composite plates by a Ritz approach
2022
In this work a Ritz model for progressive non-linear damage analysis of variable angle tow composite plates is presented. The damage is treated in the framework of continuum damage mechanics and its evolution is based on a linear softening law with which four damage indices are computed for degrading the mechanical properties of the material. A set of analyses have been carried out to investigate how damage evolves in VAT composite plates under progressive loading.
