Fysiikkaa liikkuen : 7-luokkalaisten oppilaiden ja opettajien kokemuksia kehollisesta opetuksesta fysiikassa
2019
Nuorten liikkumattomuus ja poikien motivaation hiipuminen luonnontieteitä kohtaan ovat nousseet esille viimeaikaisissa kansallisissa kyselyissä. Uusi perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelma ja Liikkuva koulu-ohjelma pyrkivätkin jalkauttamaan lisää toiminnallisia työtapoja tavallisille oppitunneille, jotta opetuksen kokemuksellisuus ja oppilaiden koulupäivän aikainen fyysinen aktiivisuus lisääntyisi. Liikunnan vaikutusta aivoihin ja oppimiseen on tutkittu laajasti viimeisen kahden vuosikymmenen aikana, mutta liikunnallistavien opetusmenetelmien vaikutuksesta oppilaiden oppimiskokemukseen on vielä vähän tutkimusta suomalaisen tiedeopetuksen kentällä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kehittää uusia…
Twin-singleton differences among ESL students : a study of affective and cognitive factors at the age of 12

The role of the learner and the way language is portrayed in the exercises of English and Swedish textbooks for adults
2014
Oppikirjoilla on hyvin keskeinen rooli opetuksessa kaikilla asteilla, joten ne väistämättä vaikuttavat myös oppijoihin. Oppikirjojen kieli- ja oppimiskäsitykset vaikuttavat siihen, miten opitaan ja nämä käsitykset voivat myös siirtyä oppijoille. Oppikirjatutkimus on kohdistunut erityisesti Suomessa peruskoulun ja lukion oppikirjoihin jättäen aikuisten kielten oppikirjat vähemmälle huomiolle. Kuitenkin myös aikuiset tarvitsevat laadukkaita ja ajantasaisia oppikirjoja oppiakseen. Tässä tutkielmassa tutkittiin oppijan roolia aikuisten englannin ja ruotsin kielen oppikirjojen tehtävissä. Tehtävien ja oppijan roolin kautta haluttiin selvittää myös kieli- ja oppimiskäsityksiä kirjojen takana. Näi…
Self-direction
2020
Self-direction refers to an individual’s responsibility and active role in relation to their own activities. It has largely been considered from the perspective of the individual, with self-direction being seen as a characteristic of the person, a linear process, or a feature influenced by the factors surrounding the individual. It is understood as a positive activity that promotes creativity and learning. However, the possibilities for self-direction have been less explored. The theme of self-direction and its possibilities comprise a topical and important perspective in the research on self-direction. peerReviewed
Self-Directed Learning as a Practice of Workplace Learning: Interpretative Repertoires of Self-Directed Learning in ICT Work
2019
Changing technologies and competition in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) are challenging the learning of individual workers and teams alongside and through work. Organisations call for employees’ autonomy and self-directedness executed by agile operations and low hierarchies, where learning is also increasingly the responsibility of the individuals and teams themselves and occurs in practice without strong control of the organisation. Therefore, the multidimensional concept of self-directed learning becomes essential in the context of learning at work. In this study, we examine how employees in the ICT sector describe self-directed learning practices in the conte…
Learning English through and for singing : learner experiences of the interrelation of music and language
2015
Kielen ja musiikin yhtäläisyydet ja eroavaisuudet ovat herättäneet mielenkiintoa viime vuosina niin neurotieteiden, psykologian, musiikkitieteiden, kuin kielitieteidenkin parissa. Koska kieli ja musiikki ovat molemmat kommunikaation välineitä, on luonnollisesti kiinnostavaa tutkia, millaisia yhtäläisyyksiä tai eroavaisuuksia niiden prosessoiminen sisältää. Näitä samankaltaisuuksia on sitten pyritty hyödyntämään useilla eri osa-alueilla, yhtenä niistä kielenoppimisessa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli luoda katsaus klassisen laulajan kielenoppimiseen: ammatin asettamiin kielellisiin vaatimuksiin, sekä oppimisen haasteisiin ja etuihin. Tutkimuksella oli kaksi tavoitetta: niistä ensimmäisen…
A Register Study Suggesting Homotypic and Heterotypic Comorbidity Among Individuals With Learning Disabilities
2023
The present study examined whether learning disabilities (LD) in reading and/or math (i.e., reading disability [RD], math disability [MD], and RD+MD) co-occur with other diagnoses. The data comprised a clinical sample (n= 430) with LD identified in childhood and a sample of matched controls (n= 2,140). Their medical diagnoses (according to the International Classification of Diseases nosology) until adulthood (20–39 years) were analyzed. The co-occurrence of LD with neurodevelopmental disorders was considered a homotypic comorbidity, and co-occurrence with disorders or diseases from the other diagnostic categories (i.e., mental and behavioral disorders, diseases of the nervous system, injur…
Does Multi-Component Strategy Training Improve Calculation Fluency Among Poor Performing Elementary School Children?
2018
The aim of the present study was to extend the previous intervention research in math by examining whether elementary school children with poor calculation fluency benefit from strategy training focusing on derived fact strategies and following an integrative framework, i.e., integrating factual, conceptual, and procedural arithmetic knowledge. It was also examined what kind of changes can be found in frequency of using different strategies. A quasi-experimental design was applied, and the study was carried out within the context of the school and its schedules and resources. Twenty schools in Finland volunteered to participate, and 1376 children were screened in for calculation fluency pro…
The effects of socio-scientific issue based inquiry learning on pupils’ representations of landscape
2016
AbstractResearch has demonstrated that socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning has significant advantages for learning outcomes and students’ motivation. Further, a successful understanding of landscapes in environmental and geographical education can be achieved by combining informal learning environments with school education. Therefore this case study focuses on how socio-scientific issues based inquiry learning carried out in school and in a Nature Park, influences primary school pupils’ (n = 36) representations of landscapes. The pupils were asked to draw and write about landscape both before and after intervention. The data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to inves…
Critical Exploration of Flexible Delivery
2020
This work-in-progress research article presents an introductory qualitative study on students' perceptions of a flexibly delivered, modular computer science course. Many contemporary approaches to education rely in various ways on flexible delivery of course content. This is often done to capitalize on modern technology and the web, and to put the student ‘in the center.' However, it is becoming manifest that these approaches may challenge both the students and the equity between them, making it important to understand the effects of flexible delivery in terms of the students. In the voice of our students, flexible delivery was seen as a largely positive approach, reducing stress, promoting…
