Development of teacher education students’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) through reflection and a learning-by-doing approach in craft and techn…
2020
The approaches of learning by doing and making have always been inherent components of Finnish craft and technology education. Craft is a practical subject that involves many hands-on activities during which students actively practice experimentation, investigation, invention, problem-solving and designing skills. The same ideology is utilised in craft and technology teacher education courses at the University of Jyväskylä. The overall purpose of this study was to increase our understanding of the development of teacher education students’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in craft and technology education through reflection and the learning- by-doing approach. To achieve this goal, stude…
I think there’s a teacher hiding behind that text book : first year teacher trainees conceptions of creative EFL teaching
2010
Luova englanninopettaminen on opettamista, joka ei tukeudu yksinomaan oppikirjoihin ja muihin valmiisiin materiaaleihin. Luova englanninopettaja käyttää kieltä opettaessaan vaihtelevia opetusmenetelmiä ja -materiaaleja. Yhdelle opettajalle tämä voi tarkoittaa yletöntä ylimääräistä työmäärää, toiselle vaihtelua ja vapautta opettamiseen. Luovaan englanninopettamiseen liittyviä käsityksiä ja tuntemuksia ei ole kuitenkaan tutkittu laajasti varsinkaan suomalaisessa kontekstissa eikä siis voida sanoa, miten ne vaikuttavat englanninopettajan kokemuksiin omasta työstään. Aiemmat luovuutta käsittelevät tutkimukset ovat käsitelleet opettajuuden eri puolia laajemmin, jolloin luovaan opettamiseen ei …
Factores de riesgo en el reflotamiento de pequeñas empresas
2021
Las Pymes, pequeñas y medianas empresas, constituyen una pieza importante del entramado empresarial europeo, originan la mayor parte del PIB y son responsables de crear la mayoría de puestos de trabajo. Sin embargo, son un tipo de empresas especialmente frágiles cuando sufren un declive. Por este motivo, el diagnóstico temprano y la implementación de las medidas adecuadas son clave para devolverle a la Pyme la salud empresarial de la que antes gozaba. Dada la situación débil de las Pymes y las dificultades que atraviesan cuando se enfrentan a un reflote empresarial, esta tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo identificar los factores de riesgo en el reflotamiento o turnaround de este tipo de em…
Towards a more efficient EFL reading comprehension classroom environment : The role of content and critical reading
2013
Traditional reading comprehension methods background the sometimes controversial content of texts in the interest of ‘ensuring comprehension’ via dealing with language points. According to Wallace (1992), EFL learners are often marginalized as readers; their goals in interacting with written texts are perceived to be primarily those of language learners. This study explores how a change in teaching approach via a CDA framework along with a change in reading content affects the EFL students’ perceptions of their reading comprehension classroom environment. Through a one-group pretest posttest design, the What Is Happening In This Class? (WIHIC) questionnaire was distributed twice among 41 (F…
Exploring the material mediation of dialogic space : A qualitative analysis of professional learning in initial teacher education based on reflective…
2019
This study addresses the crucial relationship between theory and practice as a key feature of professional learning in initial teacher education. The context for the study is an EU-funded intensive programme drawing on different dimensions of insideness and outsideness and artsbased pedagogies in response to the diversity of education today. The data for the study comes from self-selected pages from preservice teacher participants’ reflective sketchbooks. As a methodological approach that unifies the sensuous and cognitive this study suggests that reflective sketchbooks document the dialogic encounters of students whilst also providing a material space that can itself become a form of dialo…
Using Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy to Foster Critically Reflective Learning About Management and Leadership
2019
This chapter focuses on an Arts-Based Intervention (ABI) into an Introductory course of Management and Leadership offered to students considering key concepts and frames of thinking in the field for the first time. First, we introduce Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy and conceptually frame our ABI in relation to the mode of learning that it allows for together with the drive for equality that it is concerned with. We then introduce the context of the ABI, describe the course and its background and the course facilitators together with information about the participants. Emphasis is placed on the way the course was framed to bring a sense of present-day management reality through our use of art-based …

Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?
2013
The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…
Estudio comparativo de evaluación de pruebas diagnósticas en la determinación de la distancia al margen anal del cáncer de recto
2015
La localización topográfica exacta de los tumores de recto y sus relaciones individuales con las estructuras anatómicas de la pelvis determinan su estrategia terapéutica multidisciplinar basada en la combinación de radioquimioterapia y cirugía radical con exéresis mesorrectal. Actualmente los métodos diagnósticos basados en instrumentos rígidos o flexibles no siempre se correlacionan con la impresión del cirujano durante el desarrollo de la intervención quirúrgica. Por otro lado la imagen por Resonancia Magnética permite hoy en día un detallado estudio topográfico pélvico fundamental para la estadificación locorregional. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es comprobar si la Resonancia Magnética…
Localización del cáncer de recto en relación a la reflexión peritoneal. Implicaciones pronósticas.
2021
Introducción La afectación del margen de resección circunferencial (MRC) en la resección de los tumores de recto es uno de los factores principales relacionados con la recidiva local. Sin embargo, los tumores de recto localizados a nivel de la reflexión peritoneal (RP) pueden afectar tanto a la serosa peritoneal (T4a) como a la fascia mesorrectal (MRC afecto). La determinación de la localización de los tumores de recto respecto con la RP y su posible infiltración es un factor a tener en cuenta en la estadificación por sus implicaciones terapéuticas y pronósticas. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la exactitud de la resonancia magnética (RM) preoperatoria para determinar la…
