Erityisopetustaustan yhteys koulu-uupumukseen ammatillisessa koulutuksessa
2015
Koulun asettamat odotukset ja vaatimukset kasaavat nuorille paineita. Mediassa on nostettu esiin huoli suomalaisten nuorten uupumisesta ja sitä myötä syrjäytymisriskin kasvusta. Tässä artikkelissa vertaillaan tyttöjen ja poikien koulu-uupumusta sekä selvitetään peruskoulun aikaisen erityisopetustaustan yhteyttä koulu-uupumukseen ja sen osa-alueisiin ammatillisessa koulutuksessa. Tutkimusjoukon muodostivat 1 187 ammatillisessa koulutuksessa ensimmäistä vuottaan opiskelevaa, 15–24-vuotiasta nuorta (601 tyttöä, 586 poikaa). Tutkittavista 12 prosentilla (134) oli ollut henkilökohtainen opetuksen järjestämistä koskeva suunnitelma (HOJKS) peruskoulussa. Osa-aikaiseen erityisopetukseen oli alakoul…
Classroom effect on primary school students’ self-concept in literacy and mathematics
2019
AbstractAccording to the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLP) model, high individual academic performance in a particular subject is related to high self-concept in that subject, whereas high average classroom performance has a negative effect on self-concept. In the present study, data from Finnish primary school students in grade 3 (504 students), grade 4 (487 students), and grade 6 (365 students) are used to examine whether the assumptions of the BFLP effect model hold already in primary school. Furthermore, we examined gender differences in BFLP effect. The results showed that as expected students’ high performance in literacy and in mathematics was related to high self-concept in the sam…
Antecedents and Consequences of Student-Athletes’ Identity Profiles in Upper Secondary School
2020
The present study examined the identity profiles that upper-secondary-school Finnish student-athletes show, and the extent to which these profiles were associated with their athletic and academic achievements and withdrawal from sports and school. A total of 391 adolescent athletes (51% females) completed assessments of student and athletic identity four times during their time in upper secondary school. Using growth mixture modeling, three groups were identified: (a) dual identity (77%), (b) changing identity (5%), and (c) athletic identity (18%). The higher the academic achievement was at Time 1, the more likely the athletes were to show dual identity than athletic identity profile. Simil…
The Quality of Maternal Homework Involvement : The Role of Adolescent and Maternal Factors
2021
This study examined adolescent and maternal factors of the quality of maternal homework involvement and the extent to which the factors predicted adolescents' subsequent achievement through adolescents' and mothers' perceptions of the quality of maternal homework involvement. The sample consisted of 847 Finnish adolescents and their 662 mothers who both rated the quality of homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control) in the fall of Grade 6. Adolescents rated their positive and negative academic emotions. Mothers rated their beliefs about adolescents' school success, their positive and negative emotions, and adolescents' task avoidance in homework situations. Info…
Zero-Achievers Non-Progressing Studies in Finnish Open University : Three Preventive Factors
2021
Current education policy responds to changes and needs in working life by guiding individuals at different stages of working careers to develop their skills in the spirit of lifelong learning. More and more are applying with hope and enthusiasm to the Open University to strengthen their competence but are unable to get their studies completed. The article explores factors related to the non-progression of studies by students at the Open University in Finland. We call non-progressing students zero-achievers who enroll in studies but do not complete a single credit during the period of course. This research is a descriptive mixed methods study. The research data was collected by an online sur…
Kodin ulkopuolelle sijoitettujen lasten palkitsevat ja haastavat tilanteet koulussa
2017
Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin selvittämään lastensuojelun toimenpiteenä sijoitettujen lasten koulussa kohtaamia palkitsevia ja haastavia tilanteita sekä niihin liittyviä tunteita. Lisäksi tutkimus pyrki selvittämään ratkaisukeinoja, joita lapset olivat käyttäneet haastavissa tilanteissa. Toistaiseksi tutkimuksia sijoitettujen lasten kouluarjesta ja heidän koulutilanteissa kokemista tunteista sekä haastavissa tilanteissa käyttämistä ratkaisukeinoista on niukasti. Laadullisen tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla seitsemää peruskouluikäistä lasta käyttämällä aineistonhankintamenetelmänä teemahaastattelua. Aineisto analysoitiin pääsääntöisesti aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Koulu…
Children's and adolescents' achievement strategies, school adjustment and family environment
2001
The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Oppimisvaikeuksien, motivaation ja oppijaminäkäsityksen merkitys ammatillisista opinnoista valmistumisessa
2020
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, missä määrin oppimisvaikeuksien vaikutus ammatillisesta koulutuksesta valmistumiseen on yhteydessä motivaatioon ja millaisia käsityksiä heikosti opiskeluun motivoituneilla opiskelijoilla on itsestään opiskelijana. Tutkimus koostui määrällisestä kyselytutkimuksesta ja laadullisesta haastattelututkimuksesta, joista määrälliseen osuuteen osallistui 554 ja laadulliseen osuuteen 44 ammattiopiston opiskelijaa. Tulokset osoittivat, että ne opiskelijat, joilla oli oppimisvaikeuksia mutta tyypillinen motivaation, valmistuivat pääosin tavoiteajassa. Sen sijaan niiden, joilla oli sekä heikko motivaatio että oppimisvaikeuksia, valmistumatta jääminen oli tilastol…
Maternal homework assistance and children's task-persistent behavior in elementary school
2018
The present study used a sample of 365 children to investigate the longitudinal associations between maternal homework assistance (i.e., help, monitoring, and autonomy granting) and children's task-persistent behavior in learning situations from grade 2 to grade 4 of elementary school. Also, the extent to which task-persistent behavior plays a role in the links between parental homework assistance and children's academic performance was examined. The results showed that the more autonomy granting mothers reported, the more task-persistent behavior children exhibited; and more task-persistent behavior children exhibited, the more autonomy their mothers granted. In contrast, the more mothers …
