Le regole per impugnare

2018

Il contributo analizza la disciplina concernente le regole per impugnare. Dopo un inquadramento sistematico delle impugnazioni penali, ci si sofferma sui principi, con particolare riguardo alla tassatività, all'interesse a impugnare alla legittimazione e alla unicità dell'impugnazione. Quindi vengono analizzati gli aspetti formali dell'atto di impugnazione: forma termini luogo e modo di presentazione. Viene prestata particolare attenzione alle novità introdotte dalla c.d. Riforma Orlando in tema di forma dell'impugnazione e specificità dei motivi, con riflessioni critiche. Ancora vengono analizzati i profili attinenti alla inammissibilità e agli effetti delle impugnazioni. Da ultimo ci si s…

Teachers’ Changing Attitudes and Preferences around Inclusive Education

2020

Inclusive education as an alternative to traditional separate special education has gained recognition since the approval of the Salamanca Statement in 1994. The success of inclusion is considered to be highly dependent on the teachers’ positions on inclusion. In this study Finnish comprehensive school teachers’ opinions were investigated in order to evaluate the prospects of inclusion in Finland, and also to study the variables associated with these attitudes. A total of 2,276 teachers and principals participated in the email survey. The final sample contained 1,041classroom teachers, 755 subject teachers and 445 special education teachers. The results confirmed the existence of a large va…

Explaining classroom teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education

2019

Teacher attitudes have been identified as an important resource when striving towards inclusive education as defined in the Salamanca Statement (1994). This study surveyed some key factors associated with teacher attitudes towards inclusion. The participants were 1,456 classroom teachers in Finnish primary schools who were asked about their readiness to include in their classrooms a student with a specified special educational need (SEN). The results were reviewed in association with some background variables, including workload concerns, evaluation of professional skills and the opportunity to get extra support if needed. The results show that classroom teachers’ positive attitudes towards…

Attitudes of Teachers Towards Inclusive Education in Finland

2020

Positive teacher attitudes are essential for success when children with special educational needs (SEN) are placed into mainstream classrooms. The present study surveyed teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion by using a large national sample and Teachers’ Attitudes towards Inclusion Scale (TAIS). A total of 1,764 Finnish basic-school teachers participated in the e-mail survey. They included 824 classroom teachers, 575 subject teachers and 365 special-education teachers. The classroom teachers scored below and the subject teachers significantly below, the neutral midpoint of the scale. The special-education teachers’ mean scores were above the midpoint. About 20% of teachers were strong oppon…

Being a teacher in England : teacher development in the biographies of three English primary school teachers

2017

Tutkimuksessa tarkastelen kolmen eri-ikäisen englantilaisen alakoulun opettajan ammatillista kehittymistä elämäkerrallisen haastattelumenetelmän avulla. Tutkimusaihe on tärkeä, koska opettajan vaikutus koulun toimintaan ja kehittämiseen sekä lasten oppimiseen on merkittävä. Lisäksi useat kansainväliset vertailututkimukset osoittavat, että oppimisessa on merkittäviä haasteita tutkimuksen kohteena olevassa englantilaisessa koulujärjestelmässä. On merkityksellistä tutkia, miten opettaja kokee voivansa vaikuttaa työhönsä ja työssä kehittymiseen tässä kontekstissa, jotta voisimme lisätä ymmärrystä koulutuksen ja oppimisen kehittämishaasteista. Tutkimuksessa opettajan kehittyminen nähdään sekä ul…

Committing, engaging and negotiating : Teachers’ stories about creating shared spaces for co-teaching

2019

The study examined teachers’ stories on developing co-teaching partnerships. The narratives of three two-teacher teams were used to illustrate joint professional landscapes. The teams narrated the development process as one in which commitment, engagement and negotiation were the key elements in shaping their professional landscapes. The findings indicate wide variation in the role of shared understanding and related engagement in co-constructing co-teaching practices. peerReviewed

School Detention in Finland : A Pilot Study

2017

Although detention is one of the most popular methods of punishment in schools, it is being met with increasing criticism as an educational intervention. Few studies have explored its use to date; therefore, the present pilot study was planned to survey the popularity of detention. By analyzing a representative sample of comprehensive school teachers (N = 2,276) in Finland at grade levels 1-9, it was found that 30% of Finnish school teachers regularly use this punishment. Differences in use were observed across gender, age, and teacher category. These results provide a baseline against which future follow-up studies can be compared. peerReviewed

Value-added bioproducts or renewable energy derived from lignin? : comparative regional economic and environmental impact assessment : case Metsä Gro…

2016

Metsä Group’s next-generation bioproduct mill in Äänekoski will be operational within Q3/2017 and it will have significant regional economic impact on Central Finland. The mill will operate applying principles of circular economy, and thus utilize all possible side streams from pulp production. Lignin is one of the side streams that has huge potential to be refined, as sustainable products and by creating new value added. Conventionally, lignin is combusted with black liquor to generate energy in pulp mills. This thesis compares this conventional situation to refining lignin into biocomposite products made from 100% renewable resources with regard to regional economic and environmental impa…

Perceived threat and prejudice towards immigrants and Russian minorities living in Finland

2017

This study is an attempt to better understand the relationship between Finns and Russian minorities living in Finland. This study considers the role of perceived threats to the attitudes of Finnish adolescents towards Russian minorities. The theoretical framework for this study was the integrated threat theory (ITT). Even though ITT has been revised and threats have been reduced to two major threats (realistic and symbolic threats) (Stephan et al., 2015), this study utilized the original conceptualization of ITT which stipulates that prejudice and negative attitudes towards minorities can be explained by four types of threats that are: realistic threats, symbolic threats, negative stereotyp…
