Disciplinary contextualisation of transversal competence in Finnish local curricula : the case of multiliteracy, mathematics, and social studies
2020
Competence-based education is a widely implemented educational approach, but more research is needed into the relationship between transversal competences and individual disciplines. In this article, we present the results of a study focusing on how the transversal competence of multiliteracy is contextually defined in Finnish local curricula in the disciplines of mathematics and social studies. The article offers new insights into the discussion between content- and competence-based educations by introducing the concept of disciplinary contextualisation. Based on the qualitatively analysed data, four different types of disciplinary contextualisation are presented and further discussed. The…
Comparing the Effect Size of School Level Support on Teachers’ Technology Integration
2020
Teachers are expected to lead the innovative use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) at the classroom level of context. However, research literature shows that a number of factors influence their ICT pedagogical practices. Therefore, the present study investigates the influence of school level support on teacher educators’ technology integration. A mixed method is used to collect data through three focused interviews (N = 19) and self-completion survey (N = 136). The data collected is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The result shows support for the model hypothesized and suggests that the ICT pedagogical practices of the teacher educators do not predict their t…
Enhancing Digital Skills of Early Childhood Teachers Through Online Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math Training Programs in Estonia
2022
Teacher professional development programs, including mid- and long-term Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math (STEAM) courses, have recently moved from in person learning at university premises to an online environment. Whether it is a temporary change in learning methods caused by the COVID-19 restrictions or whether it will become a new normal is currently under discussion in many teacher training institutions around the world. The aim of this study was to design and implement time- and money-saving synchronous online teacher training format for conducting co-design courses for early childhood teachers in the theme of STEAM integrated learning activities. Based on Tallinn University…
Varhainen sosioemotionaalinen tuki yleisen tuen portaalla lastentarhanopettajien arvioimana
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata lastentarhanopettajien käsityksiä lasten varhai- sista sosioemotionaalisen tuen tarpeista sekä selvittää, millaisia varhaisia sosioemotionaalisen tuen menetelmiä lastentarhanopettajat käyttävät yleisen tuen portaalla. Kvalitatiivisen tutkimuksen aineistonkeruu toteutettiin eräässä keskisuomalaisessa kunnassa. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmänä oli kunnan päiväkodeissa työskentelevät lastentarhanopettajat. Aineisto kerättiin etnografisesti suuntautuneella, keskustelunomaisella, puolistrukturoidulla teemahaastattelulla. Aineiston analysoinnissa käytettiin teoriaohjaavaa sisällönanalyysia. Lastentarhanopettajien kokemusten perusteella varhaiset sosioemotionaalisen tu…
Digital competence across boundaries - beyond a common Nordic model of the digitalisation of K-12 schools?
2021
This paper explores policy related to digital competence and the digitalisation of Nordic K-12 schools. Anchored in some key transnational policies on digital competence, it describes some current Nordic movements in the national policies of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The concept of boundary objects is used as an analytical lens, for understanding digital competence as a plastic and temporal concept that can be used to discuss the multi-dimensional translation of this concept in these Nordic countries. The paper ends with a discussion of the potential to view digital competence as a unifying boundary object that, with its plasticity, temporality and n-dimensionality, can show sign…
A one-year follow-up of basic psychological need satisfactions in physical education and associated in-class and total physical activity
2020
This study examined basic psychological need satisfactions for competence, autonomy, and social relatedness in physical education (PE) and their contributions to accelerometer-based in-class and total moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across a one-year follow-up (T1). Participants were 523 students (girls 280, boys 243; mean age = 11.26 ± 0.31) and the data were collected using self-reports and waist-worn accelerometers. The key findings were: (a) competence and social relatedness need satisfaction at baseline (T0) predicted total MVPA at T1 via total MVPA at T0; (b) in-class MVPA at T0 predicted total MVPA at T1 via total MVPA at T0; (c) in-class MVPA was directly associated w…
Intercultural competence needs of exchange students coming to or going abroad from the university of Costa Rica
2012
Internationalization of higher education is a process in constant development that has occurred over many years. It involves efforts of the entire academic community and the implementation of diverse strategies. Focusing on the academic exchange, the less developed regions face certain particularities that limit them. The following study portraits this situation from the perspective of intercultural competence, in the context of one Latin American University, the University of Costa Rica (UCR). It explores the intercultural competence needs of exchange students, whose common ground is the UCR. The population considered in the study are regular students of the University of Costa Rica, who p…
Agency, expertise and working life skills : Students’ conceptions of the generic competences required in the world of work
2021
Fundamental changes in working life highlight the demands on the co-operation between the educational sector and working life, that should contribute to students’ employability. In addition to discipline-specific expertise, the development of working life skills has received increasing attention when it comes to employment. Drawing on data from Finnish universities of applied sciences (n=5) and universities (n=3), this paper examines how students (n=380) value the generic competences needed in in the world of work. The study is based on European reforms of labour markets and educational structures. This paper adds to current discourses around employability by highlighting differences betwee…
Les adjectifs décrivant les compétences dans les offres d'emploi sur Internet
2011
Työpaikkailmoitusten avulla yritykset etsivät itselleen sopivia työntekijöitä. Ilmoituksissa käytetään adjektiiveja kuvailemaan halutun työntekijän ominaisuuksia eli kompetensseja. Tutkin pro gradu -työssäni millaisia nämä adjektiivit ovat; viittaavatko ne hakijan persoonaan, koulutukseen vai kokemukseen. Analysoin myös ovatko adjektiivit subjektiivisia vai objektiivisia. Aineistonani käytän ranskalaisen ParisJob-Internet-portaalin ilmoituksia, joilla haettiin markkinoinnin, viestinnän ja graafisen alan työntekijöitä. Analyysissa hyödynnän Pottierin semanttisia kenttiä sekä Katzin ja Dejoux’n määritelmiä työntekijöiden kompetensseista. Aineistoni adjektiivien luokittelun pohjana on Kerbrat-…
