Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaiset käsitykset yläkoulun englannin opettajilla on monikulttuurisesta opetuksesta ja maahanmuuttajaoppilaista ja miten he ovat selviytyneet opettajan arjesta monikielisessä luokkaympäristössä. Teoriataustan valossa tutkimuksessa haetaan vastauksia seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Mitä englannin opettajat käsittävät termillä monikulttuurinen opetus? 2) Millaista englannin opettaminen heidän mielestään monikulttuurisessa luokkaympäristössä on? ja 3) Mitkä…

Music Piracy Neutralization and the Youth of the 2010's

2014

In this qualitative research, music piracy among the youth was studied by applying Sykes’ and Matza’s neutralization theory. The key objective of the study was to find out how youths view music piracy, and how they give accounts for it using techniques of neutralization. According to the conducted semi-structured interviews, youths do acknowledge the ethical and economic problems of music piracy. However, piracy is still exercised, and in order to justify this, multiple neutralization techniques are used. The most characteristic of the employed techniques was “claim of normalcy”, with “denial of victim” and “justification by comparison” also appearing frequently. In order to prevent piracy,…

Musical Self-Concept - Presentation of a Multi-Dimensional Model and Its Empirical Analyses

2009

Research on the specific domain of musical self-concept was so far exclusively concerned with musically active subjects (such as performers, music teachers, students, or singing children). In contrast, the starting base of the presented research is that music is a distinct aspect in everyone’s life and personality and that therefore musical self-concept is general and includes a number of domain besides achievement. The presented multi-dimensional model includes (i) non-academic and (ii) dimensions of musical ability. The first section entails representations with regards to “who I am” in music, such as emotional, social, physical, cognitive and spiritual notions, while section two addresse…

Usability of the testing criteria for English proficiency in competence tests : assessor perceptions

2010

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää arvioijien näkemyksiä englannin kielen taidon arvioimiseen laadittujen näyttökriteerien käytettävyydestä hotellivirkailijan ja matkailun ohjelmapalvelujen ammattitutkinnoissa. Ilman ammatillista pätevyyttä pitkään työssä olleet aikuiset voivat hankkia ammattitutkinnon Suomessa osoittamalla ammattitaitonsa näyttötutkintojen avulla. Näyttöä vastaanottava oppilaitos laatii näyttökriteerit tutkinnon perusteissa määriteltyjen arviointikriteerien pohjalta. Tarkastelun kohteina tässä tutkimuksessa eivät ole vain arvioijien yleiset näkemykset näyttökriteerien käytöstä pitkällä aikavälillä, vaan myös heidän mielipiteensä hyödyllisistä ja hyödyttömistä kriteerei…

Action-based teaching in primary school English language education in Finland

2016

Toiminnallisuus ja toiminnalliset opetusmenetelmät ovat yleisiä termejä tämän päivän pedagogisessa kirjallisuudessa. Vuonna 2016 voimaan astuvissa Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteissa (2014) toiminnallisuus ja toiminnalliset työtavat mainitaan kielten opetuksessa käytettävinä opetusmenetelminä. Toiminnallisuutta ei kuitenkaan ole paljoa tutkittu kielenopetuksen kontekstissa eikä termille ole laadittu yksiselitteistä ja kattavaa määritelmää. Tästä syystä on tärkeää selvittää, mitä toiminnallisuus on, miten sitä voidaan hyödyntää opetuksessa ja millaisia toiminnalliset opetusmenetelmät kielten opetuksessa ovat. Tutkielman tarkoitus on selvittää, miten alaluokkien englanninopettajat y…
