Student Engagement and School Burnout in Finnish Lower-Secondary Schools: Latent Profile Analysis
2016
Self-ratings of behavioural engagement, cognitive engagement and school burnout were used in person-centred analyses to identify latent profiles among 2,485 Finnish lower-secondary school students. Three profiles were identified: high-engagement/low-burnout (40.6% of the sample), average-engagement/average-burnout (53.9%), and low-engagement/high-burnout (5.5%). Another sample of lower-secondary school students was used to validate the 3 profiles. The factors most strongly associated with the high-engagement/low-burnout profile of lower-secondary school students’ were high levels of support from teachers and family, good academic performance, and lack of truancy. The study indicated that te…
"En lärare som bryr sig" - välittävä opettaja : kouluetnografia ohjaavasta opettajasta ja tämän oppilaista ruotsalaisessa yläkoulussa.
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla erään ruotsalaisen yläkoulun oppilaanohjaussysteemiä: suomalaista luokanvalvojaa vastaavan opettajan oppilaalle antamaa kokonaisvaltaista ohjausta sekä ohjaavan opettajan ja oppilaan välistä ohjaussuhdetta. Tutkimus toteutettiin etnografiana tutkijan opetusharjoittelun yhteydessä, joka kesti koko kevätlukukauden ajan. Tutkimusaineiston muodostivat viralliset dokumentit, tutkijan omat kenttämuistiinpanot sekä kahden opettajan ja viiden oppilaan haastattelut. Ohjaus koostui viikottaisista koko luokan ohjausajoista, joista osa toteutettiin pienryhmissä. Siihen kuului myös joka lukukausi pidettävä kehityskeskustelu ohjaavan opettajan, oppilaan ja tämän huo…
Matematiikka-ahdistus 8-luokkalaisilla : opettajan kyky tunnistaa luokkansa ahdistusoppilaat
2015
Matematiikka-ahdistukseksi kutsutaan kielteisiä tunnereaktiota, joita osa ihmisistä kokee tilanteissa, jotka vaativat matemaattista päättelyä tai ongelmanratkaisua. Sen vaikutusten arvellaan olevan yhteiskunnallisesti ajatellen suurempia, kuin minkään muun matematiikan oppimisvaikeuden. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisena matematiikka-ahdistuksen taso näkyy 8-luokkalaisten itsearvioinneissa, onko tyttöjen ja poikien välillä eroa, miten hyvin opettajat ovat kykeneviä tunnistamaan ahdistusoppilaat ryhmässään sekä onko opettajien arvioiden perusteella ahdistusoppilaiden määrissä eroa erityisopetuksessa käyneiden ja muiden oppilaiden välillä. Tutkittuja taustatekijöitä oli…

Teachers' physiological and self-reported stress, teaching practices and students' learning outcomes in Grade 1.
2022
Background Teachers' self-reported stress is related to the quality of teacher–student interactions and students' learning outcomes. However, it is unclear if teachers' physiological stress is related to child-centred teaching practices in the classroom and whether teaching practices mediate the link between teachers' stress and students' learning outcomes. Aims We studied the effect of teachers' physiological stress and self-reported stress on their teaching practices and thereby on students' learning outcomes in math. Sample A total of 53 classroom teachers and 866 Grade 1 students participated in the study. Methods Salivary cortisol in the middle of the school day and cortisol slope from…
Selective breeding for endurance running capacity affects cognitive but not motor learning in rats
2012
The ability to utilize oxygen has been shown to affect a wide variety of physiological factors often considered beneficial for survival. As the ability to learn can be seen as one of the core factors of survival in mammals, we studied whether selective breeding for endurance running, an indication of aerobic capacity, also has an effect on learning. Rats selectively bred over 23 generations for their ability to perform forced treadmill running were trained in an appetitively motivated discrimination-reversal classical conditioning task, an alternating T-maze task followed by a rule change (from a shift-win to stay-win rule) and motor learning task. In the discrimination-reversal and T-maze …

Longitudinal associations between third‐grade teaching styles and sixth‐grade reading skills : a 3‐year follow‐up study
2022
Background Most previous studies of teaching styles and reading skills have been cross-sectional. Longitudinal research is needed to clarify the direction of effects. The present longitudinal study examined the degree to which differences in teaching styles in the third grade predict the sixth-grade reading performance. The consistency of the findings was addressed by comparing results across students in two countries (Finland and Estonia). Methods A total of 1,057 students (50.9% boys) were followed from the third to sixth grade. Teaching styles of third-grade teachers (N = 70) were examined as predictors of the development of reading (i.e., third-grade to sixth-grade reading fluency and c…
Understanding the Study Experiences of Students in Low Agency Profile: Towards a Smart Education Approach
2020
In this paper, we use student agency analytics to examine how university students who assessed to have low agency resources describe their study experiences. Students ( n=292 ) completed the Agency of University Students (AUS) questionnaire. Furthermore, they reported what kinds of restrictions they experienced during the university course they attended. Four different agency profiles were identified using robust clustering. We then conducted a thematic analysis of the open-ended answers of students who assessed to have low agency resources. Issues relating to competence beliefs, self-efficacy, student-teacher relations, time as a resource, student well-being, and course contents seemed to …
Self-direction
2020
Self-direction refers to an individual’s responsibility and active role in relation to their own activities. It has largely been considered from the perspective of the individual, with self-direction being seen as a characteristic of the person, a linear process, or a feature influenced by the factors surrounding the individual. It is understood as a positive activity that promotes creativity and learning. However, the possibilities for self-direction have been less explored. The theme of self-direction and its possibilities comprise a topical and important perspective in the research on self-direction. peerReviewed
