The Development of the Dealing with Challenging Interaction (DCI) Method to Evaluate Teachers’ Social Interaction Skills

2012

The Dealing with Challenging Interaction (DCI) method was developed to measure social interaction skills of teacher study groups. The participants were 70 teachers from three schools. The inter-rater agreement, Cohen’s kappa, varied between 0.57- 1.00. The discriminant validity was supported by a cluster analysis differentiating between the skilful and less skilful teachers. The results of the supplementary instrument were equivalent to the cluster analysis maintaining criterion oriented validity of the method developed. The DCI appeared to be a reliable and valid tool for measuring teachers’ social interaction skills. Peer reviewed

Kasvun tekijät : tutkimus Suomen teollistumisen ajan perustajayrittäjistä 1870-1990

2017

Company founders are important agents in business economics. I investigated entrepreneurs who founded successful, long-standing and high-growth companies. The data include 402 Finnish founder entrepreneurs who had founded a company and had been awarded the Finnish title of neuvos during the period 1917-2015 (i.e., since the beginning of Finnish independence). So far only few longitudinal studies have been presented on company founders in Finland. This study focuses on the era of industrialism in Finland and addresses the following research questions. First, what kind of entrepreneur groups are identified in different phases of industrialism when studying the backgrounds, education and work …

The challenge for school-based teacher educators : establishing teaching and supervision goals

2019

School-based teacher educators (SBTEs) should be able to set goals in two roles – as a teacher and as a supervisor of student teachers. The purpose of the study was to investigate school-based teacher educators’ teaching and supervising goals and to identify how teachers in the role of supervisors perceived university expectations. Thematic analysis indicated that teachers have difficulty establishing goals for themselves as teachers and supervisors. Their teaching goals proceeded from curricula and focused on their pupils’ cognitive development, whilst their perceptions about supporting pupils’ social development were vague. Teachers were unaware of what exactly universities expected of th…

2019

This volume presents a three-year research project on Content and Language Integration in Swedish Schools (CLISS). CLISS particularly focused on sciences and economics programs in senior high schools (Grades 10-12; 245 participants), which intended to prepare students for higher education. Divided into five sections, the book explores the language, rather than content, side of CLIL. The volume starts with background information concerning CLISS and CLIL in Sweden. The following four sections of the book concern assessment and motivation (Chapters 4-5); English vocabulary, reading comprehension and exposure to English (Chapters 6-9); students’ L1 proficiency and development through CLIL (Cha…

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…

Lapsuudesta eväät oppimiseen : neljännen luokan oppilaiden matematiikan ja luonnontieteiden osaaminen : kansainvälinen TIMSS-tutkimus Suomessa

2016

Kuinka hyvin neljäsluokkalaiset osaavat matematiikkaa ja hallitsevat luonnontieteitä? Miten he asennoituvat oppimiseen? Kuinka tasa-arvoista osaaminen on alakoulussa? Osaavatko tytöt ja pojat laskea yhtä hyvin? Onko osaamisessa koulujen välillä suuria eroja? Kuinka vanhemmat onnistuvat lasten oppimisen tukemisessa? Vaikuttaako vanhempien koulutus ja ammatti lapsen kouluosaamiseen? Millaisena suomalainen luonnontieteiden ja matematiikan opetus näyttäytyy kansainvälisessä vertailussa? Näihin kysymyksiin vastataan tässä raportissa, joka pohjautuu keväällä 2015 toteutetun kansainvälisen TIMSS-arviointitutkimuksen (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) tuloksiin. Tutkimuksessa t…

Huipputaidoilla huippuansioille? : kognitiivisen etevyyden ja korkean ansiotason yhteensovittuminen Euroopan työmarkkinoilla 2010-luvulla

2017

Kuilu huipputuloisten ja keskituloisten ansioiden välillä on kasvanut viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana Euroopassa. Keskeisiä selityksiä ilmiölle ovat olleet osaamista suosiva teknologia sekä korkeakoulutettujen kysynnän kasvu. Koulutusta korostavien selitysmallien lisäksi yhä enemmän huomiota on kiinnitetty kognitiivisiin taitoihin. Näiden taitojen vaikutusten arvioimiseksi on kehitetty aikuisten luku-, numero- ja ongelmanratkaisutaitoja mittaava tutkimus PIAAC. Tutkimusten mukaan PIAACissa menestyvät ihmiset hyödyntävät paremmin teknologiaa, ansaitsevat enemmän ja joutuvat pienemmällä todennäköisyydellä työttömiksi. Työmarkkinoilla maksettavien huipputuloja on myös selitetty supertähtiteor…
