Approaching pedagogical language knowledge through student teachers: assessment of second language writing
2015
The article examines student teachers' pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis is based on data from an applied task in which Finnish student teachers (n = 221) of 16 school subjects assessed second language (SL) learners' writing skills. First, we briefly discuss subject teachers' role in language and literacy teaching in the multilingual and multicultural classroom. Our findings indicate that the student teachers use a range of criteria but focus mainly on word-level assessment when assessing writing samples, and that their assessment orientation varies from technical to analytical. Finally, we discuss the challenges of developing teacher education to promote pedagogical language kno…
Capability to be educated : inspiring and inclusive pedagogical arrangements from Finnish schools
2018
The idea and concept of inclusive education have been debated, and different interpretations of what inclusion means and to whom it concerns have been presented. In this paper, we bring together notions of inclusive quality education, pedagogy, learning and teachers, and illustrate how the principle(s) of inclusion(s) has been enacted and translated into classroom practices in Finnish context. Drawing from Finnish teachers’ narratives, we highlight successful, small-scale and creative pedagogical arrangements and teachers’ sensitivity to recognize and commit to responding to the needs of diverse learners. Our argumentation is rooted in the capabilities approach. We carry out an evaluative e…

Psychometric properties of the Assessment Tool for Perceived Agency (ATPA-22) - utility for the rehabilitation of young adults not in education, empl…
2020
Background: Promoting and supporting agency have been at the heart of the debate multidisciplinary. To promote self-awareness of young people’s agency and identify persons in need of support the Assessment Tool for Perceived Agency (ATPA-22) was developed. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ATPA-22. Participants were young adults not in education, employment or training (NEETs) and students in higher education (HEI). Materials and methods: The main data analysis was implemented by Many Faceted Rasch (MFR) analysis. Results: The ATPA-22 items defined a unidimensional construct with reasonable internal consistency and separation ability. The ATPA-22 was capabl…
Patterns of university teachers’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental cultures
2019
Many studies have been conducted about academics’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental culture, but their interconnectedness has been considered to a lesser extent. The research presented here examined these patterns comparatively by disciplinary fields and years of teaching experience. Three inventories were filled in by 1141 academics from one Finnish and two Hungarian universities. Based on a hierarchical cluster analysis, four patterns emerged: (1) Experimenters with diverse teaching approaches; (2) Experimenters perceiving their department’s culture as most supportive and collaborative; (3) Individualistic knowledge-focused teachers; and (4) Stude…
Unpacking the link between family socioeconomic status and civic engagement during the transition to adulthood: Do work values play a role?
2017
We investigated whether the link between family-of-origin socioeconomic status (SES) and civic engagement in young adulthood is mediated by youth’s work values, i.e., the desired characteristics of their current or future jobs. We used data from a Finnish study: 2004 (age 16–18, NT1 = 1,301); 2011 (age 23–25, N T2 = 1,096); and 2014 (age 25–27, NT3 = 1,138). A lower family SES in 2004 was negatively related to youth’s civic engagement in 2014. Lower family SES predicted the importance that youth attached to extrinsic job rewards (e.g., good pay) in 2011, but not the importance of intrinsic job rewards (e.g., learning opportunities). Extrinsic work values, in turn, predicted lower civic enga…
Public policies for the elderly from a human rights based approach
2021
El presente trabajo parte de la premisa de que el envejecimiento de la población es un fenómeno que hay que abordar desde las políticas públicas puesto que interroga a la sociedad en su conjunto y exige la responsabilidad de los Estados como garantes de los derechos de las personas mayores. Tales políticas deberán guiarse por los estándares y principios marcados por Naciones Unidas, el Consejo de Europa y la Unión Europea, que reclaman adoptar un enfoque basado en derechos Humanos y una atención integral centrada en la persona, como canales para articular un tratamiento adecuado de los derechos de las personas mayores, sin olvidar el compromiso ético de todos los agentes implicados en dar r…
L’antropologia filosofica di Remo Cantoni: umanismo critico, “connessione orizzontale” e partecipazione
2016
The paper proposes a critical reflection on Remo Cantoni’s philosophical thought, with particular regards to his anthropological point of view that addresses concepts such as “critical humanism” and “horizontal connection”. The strict relationship between anthropology and participation are his main topics on which he has made outstanding remarks in the second decade of XXth century in the Italian cultural panorama. Since his early works, Cantoni points out the need to develop a different way of analysing the pluridimensionality of human beings and widely debates contemporary European cultural context after the end of World War II. The paper tries to put in evidence how Cantoni’s anthropolog…
De participació local. Una proposta metodològica desde la investigació-acció-participativa
2018
Citizen participation is an increasingly prevalent term in our society. In the process of deployment in the municipal area, progressively local corporations make efforts to innovate practices and develop experiences of citizen participation in defining policies and public affairs, and allocating budgets. While innovation has been advanced with regard to the tools and mechanisms to be used to promote participation, many of the initiatives and experiences have focused more on the implementation of the vote than in the different social processes inherent in the participation. Moreover, we are faced with the absence of a methodological guide that allows approaching a project or strategic plan o…
Induktīvās un deduktīvās pieejas izmantošana darbības vārdu laiku mācīšanā augstskolā: salīdzinošā analīze
2018
Gramatika vienmēr tiek uzskatīta par vienu no galvenajiem aspektiem svešvalodu apguvē. Ir zināmas divas galvenās un, savā ziņā, pretrunīgas metodes gramatikas apmācībā, tādas kā deduktīvā un induktīvā metodes. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai studentu sasniegumi angļu valodas apguvē būtiski atšķiras atkarībā no tā, vai darbības vārdu laikus māca deduktīvi vai induktīvi. Pētniecības metode, kas izmantota maģistra darbā bija darbības pētījums, un datu vākšanas instrumenti bija testi un anketas. Pētījuma dalībnieku skaits bija divdesmit astoņi pirmā kursa bakalaura studenti, kuri specializējas angļu filoloģijā kādā Latvijas universitātē. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka nav novērojama st…
