Assessment conception patterns of Finnish pre-service special needs teachers : the contribution of prior studies and teaching experience

2021

The main aim of this study was to investigate how Finnish pre-service special needs teachers’ (N = 134) assessment conceptions, prior academic studies in special education and teaching experience together cluster into different patterns representing different student types. Their assessment conceptions formed three main factors: 1) assessment measures learning, 2) assessment supports teaching and learning, and 3) assessment as a harmful action. All three factors were emphasised differently in each pattern. Assessment conceptions, prior studies, and teaching experience were clustered together in three different patterns: Assessment Criticals, Assessment Positives, and Assessment Cautious. Th…

Toward a Model of Workforce Training and Development

2019

In the modern, ever-changing world, both employers and employees are struggling in keeping their competitive advantage. Previous studies have recognised that both formal instruction and informal learning are needed to gain and maintain competence. The famous 70-20-10 model states that only 10 per cent of learning occurs during the formal instruction. The challenge for the organisations is how the formal instruction can and should be provided to employees. In this paper, we constructed a model of Workforce Training and Development (WOTRA), based on the current learning theories, modes, methods, and models. WOTRA can be used by both employers and employees to choose an adequate mix of learnin…

Proactive and reactive dimensions of life-course agency: mapping student teachers’ language learning experiences

2014

Although the concept of agency has received a lot of interest in recent educational research, its significance in language learning biographies as well as contextual and relational aspects of learner agency are still little studied. This paper aims at a more thorough understanding of agency by studying student teachers’ previous language learning experiences. This paper is based on a dialogical analysis of 12 student teachers’ biographical essays describing their relationship with English as a foreign language. The participants are students in a Finnish class teacher and language teacher education programme that uses English as the primary medium of instruction. The study proposes a tripart…

A Culturally Sensitive Approach to Promoting Initial Literacy Development in Africa : Ongoing and Planned Research and Development at the University …

2017

A four-year research and development program at CAPOLSA (the Centre for the Promotion of Literacy in Sub-Saharan Africa) was inspired by widespread dissatisfaction with poor literacy outcomes of mass basic schooling in Zambia and sought to test the generalizability of a scientifically grounded, computer-mediated instructional resource developed in Finland, for effective intervention in an African society where different linguistic and educational conditions obtain. Specific challenges and opportunities posed by the local sociocultural context included the prevalence of multilingualism, the relatively transparent orthographies of local languages, and poor infrastructure of the public school …

Where do the highly educated migrate? Micro-level evidence from finland

2003

This paper analyses the role which migration of highly educated labour plays in human capital reallocation. The study focuses on actual migrants, examining the direct effect of educational attainment on destination choices. The paper uses the ordered probability model and a micro-level data set in econometric analyses. Individual level investigations of migrants show that highly educated migrants are likely to move to urban regions. As a result, the reallocation of highly educated labour, and thereby also the redistribution of human capital, seems to be taking place in Finland. peerReviewed

Vuorovaikutus osana opettajan arviointiosaamista (VOPA) -toimintamallin vaiheittaiset kuvaukset

2021

Vuorovaikutus osana opettajan arviointiosaamista (VOPA) -toimintamallin vaiheittaiset kuvaukset edesauttavat opetustilanteisiin liittyvän vuorovaikutuksen systemaattista havainnointia ja reflektointia sekä tarjoavat yhteistä sanastoa teeman käsittelyyn. Tarkastelemalla ryhmän vuorovaikutusta eri vaiheiden kautta, tuetaan ajatusta opettajan vuorovaikutusosaamisen kehittyvästä luonteesta. Opettajaopiskelijat ja opettajat voivat hyödyntää vaiheittaisia kuvauksia oman opetuksensa suunnittelussa, toteutuksessa ja reflektoinnissa. Opettajankouluttajat voivat hyödyntää vaiheittaisia kuvauksia opiskelijoiden opetusharjoittelun tutkimusperustaisessa havainnoinnissa ja ohjaamisessa. Learning interact…
