Changes in physicochemical properties of soils in the area affected by lime industry
2016
Lime and cement industry belongs to the best developed branches of industry in Opole Voivodeship. The plants are located in eastern and central part of the province, in the vicinity of the city of Opole and the towns of Krapkowice and Strzelce Opolskie due to the location of the resources of calcareous raw materials (limestones and marls).The impact of lime and cement industry on the natural environment, especially soils, was studied by many authors, but these works do not concern the Province of Opole, which is one of the main centers of lime and cement industry in Poland for centuries. The article is an attempt to show changes in physicochemical properties of soils being under long lastin…
Prose fiction in the English classoom : perceptions of IB students
2013
Kirjallisuuden opiskelun merkitystä kielenoppimisessa on tutkittu laajalti, ja se on todettu tärkeäksi ja toimivaksi menetelmäksi. Opiskelijoiden omat näkemykset asiasta saattavat myös vaikuttaa oppimistuloksiin, mutta ne ovat aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa jääneet huomiotta. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, pitävätkö oppilaat kirjallisuuden opiskelua hyvänä tapana oppia englannin kieltä. Tutkimus kohdentuu kansainvälisen IB-tutkinnon opiskelijoihin, koska siinä vieraan kielen laajan tason (higher level) opetussuunnitelmaan kuuluu oleellisena osana kirjallisuusanalyysi. Tutkielmassa kartoitetaan laajan tason ja suppeamman tason (standard level) opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä kirjallisuuden kä…
“Anything taking shape?” : Capturing various layers of small group collaborative problem solving in an experiential geometry course in initial teache…
2022
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is widely recognized as a prominent 21st-century skill to be mastered. Until recently, research on CPS has often focused on problem solution by the individual; the interest in investigating how the theorized problem-solving constructs function as broader social units, such as pairs or small groups, is relatively recent. Capturing the complexity of CPS processes in group-level interaction is challenging. Therefore, a method of analysis capturing various layers of CPS was developed that aimed for a deeper understanding of CPS as a small-group enactment. In the study, small groups of teacher education students worked on two variations of open-ended CPS tasks…
APORTES A LA FORMACIÓN DEL PROFESORADO CONSTRUCTIVISTA: RESULTADOS EN DOS PAÍSES
2016
La investigación aborda la influencia que tiene la participación en la investigación educativa en la calidad de la enseñanza de docentes de ciencias experimentales de Argentina y España. Se han utilizado tres vías de acceso a la actividad educativa de dichos docentes: un cuestionario, una entrevista semiestructurada y la observación de clases, con seis apartados y 34 ítems. La investigación, llevada a cabo con 55 docentes de ciencias españoles y 23 argentinos, pone de manifiesto cómo, a pesar de la diferencia de trayectoria formativa de los docentes y de contexto educativo en ambos países, la formación didáctica intensiva y la puesta en práctica de la misma mediante investigaciones (ya sea …
Like ships passing in the night? Nonstandard work schedules and spousal satisfaction in Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
2020
This study examined the associations of work schedules and spousal satisfaction among Finnish (n = 347), Dutch (n = 304) and British (n = 337) parents. In addition to comparing parents with nonstandard schedule with parents in regular day work, the study examined separately the roles played in spousal satisfaction of morning, evening, night and weekend work and other working time-related variables (working hours, changes in and influence over one’s work schedules and spouse’s work schedule). The three-country data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a multigroup procedure in Mplus. Little evidence for negative associations of work schedules and related factors with spousal…
The state-of-the-art of collaborative technologies for initial vocational education : a systematic literature review
2018

 
 
 Future workplaces require collaboration skills in which members of different work communities use technologies to solve complex problems. Vocational education and training (VET) programs need to meet the challenge to prepare students to be part of a competent workforce. Particularly initial vocational education is under pressure to develop learners’ collaboration skills and abilities. To date, however, no attempt has been made to perform a comprehensive review of the use of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) technologies across different vocational education settings to account for contextual factors of VET. In this systematic review, 26 published studies …
Finnish upper secondary level students' experiences and preferences of user-generated media content in the EFL classroom
2017
Kielten opiskelu on yhä multimodaalisempaa. Tutkimustieto tietyistä medioista ja välineistä luokkahuoneessa on kasvanut viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana sekä kansainvälisesti, että Suomessa. Erityisesti opettajien näkemyksiä ja kokemuksia erilaisten internet materiaalien käytöstä osana opetusta on tutkittu, mutta tämän seurauksena oppilaiden näkökulma on jäänyt vähäiseksi. Tutkielman fokukseksi valikoitui käyttäjäkeskeiset mediat. Käyttäjäkeskeisillä medioilla tarkoitetaan internet materiaaleja, joiden sisältö on sivun käyttäjien tuottamaa ja jakamaa. Käyttäjäkeskeisten medioiden huomio keskittyy siis luovaan sisältöön ja sen tuottamiseen. Tästä hyviä esimerkkejä ovat muun muassa YouTube ja W…
Effect of aerobic exercise and low carbohydrate diet on pre-diabetic non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women and middle aged men: s…
2014
Background. Pre-diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and pose extremely high costs to the healthcare system. In this study, we aim to explore whether individualized aerobic exercise (AEx) and low carbohydrate diet (LCh) intervention affect hepatic fat content (HFC) in pre-diabetes via modification of gut microbiota composition and other post-interventional effects. Methods/design. A 6-month randomized intervention with 6-month follow-up is conducted from January 2013 to December 2015. The target sample size for intervention is 200 postmenopausal women and middle-aged men aged 50–65 year-old with pre-diabetes and NAFLD. The qualifi…
Growth and population structure of perch in relation to diet in a small humic lake, Valkea-Kotinen
2011
Lake Valkea-Kotinen is a long-term ecological monitoring site in the Evo region of southern Finland .The aim of this study was to investigate the growth and population structure of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) in relation to diet in Valkea-Kotinen in order to provide reference data for a study investigating effects of increased loading of dissolved organic matter to nearby Lake Alinen Mustajärvi. Valkea-Kotinen was predominantly inhabited by small benthivorous perch. The growth relationship between opercular bone and total length of perch in the lake is similar to those earlier analysed for nearby lakes. Compared to wider growth rates, the growth of perch was slow and similar to those in si…
