Vocational education approach: New TEL settings—new prospects for teachers' instructional activities?

2013

This study focuses on vocational education teachers’ instructional activities in a new technology-enhanced learning (TEL) setting. A content analysis is applied to investigate teachers’ and students’ interactions in a 3D game context. The findings illustrate that when teachers’ and students’ interactions are mediated by a game, teachers seem to apply different discussion activities to empower vocational learning than they do in traditional classroom settings. Additionally, the present study shows that teachers spontaneously develop new ways of supporting vocational learning processes. In more detail, two main types of instructional activities were identified: a “knowledge-providing” approac…

The present study focuses on the International Master’s Degree Programs (IMDP) of the University of Jyväskylä and issues related to English-medium instruction (EMI). At the core of the present study are the IMDP students’ conceptualizations of, and reflections on, academic English. Furthermore, the study examines the IMDP students’ reported language gains in academic English as well as the internal and external factors to which the students’ attribute these gains, or the lack of them. In order to map out these aspects, 15 IMDP students were interviewed at the end of their two-year program. These interviews were then analyzed inductively with the help of Atlas.ti software and by adhering to …

It runs in the family?

2022

AbstractFamily background has been shown to be a strong determinant of educational attainment, yet relatively little is known about the role that family background plays in PhD attainment or in the selection into academic careers. In this study, we estimate sibling correlations from Finnish full population register data to comprehensively assess the importance of family background in selection into academia. Our results show that family background accounts for over a third of the overall variation in becoming a PhD and subsequently an academic — a share which is up to four times as large as implied by conventional comparisons by parental education. However, we did not find evidence that fam…

2014

Tutkimusta aikuisten maahanmuuttajien luku- ja kirjoitustaidon koulutuksesta on tehty melko vähän sekä Suomessa että maailmalla. Tämä maisterintutkielma on monimuototutkielma ja sen tavoitteena on kartoittaa, millaista oppimateriaalia opettajat kaipaavat, tehdä oppimateriaalia ja testata sitä. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena taustana on funktionaalinen pedagogiikka. Oppimateriaalin tarvekartoitus toteutettiin käyttämällä puolistrukturoitua teemahaastattelua ja sisällönanalyysiä. Aineisto koostuu kolmesta opettajahaastattelusta. Oppimateriaali on laadittu tässä tarvekartoituksessa esiin nousseiden seikkojen pohjalta. Oppimateriaalia on testattu viidessä eri tasoisessa luku- ja kirjoitustaidon koul…
