A person-oriented approach to maternal homework involvement during the transition to lower secondary school
2022
This study examined patterns of mothers' homework involvement (n = 680 in Grade 6 and 665 in Grade 7) and changes in them during 12-year-old Finnish adolescents' (n = 848; 391 boys) transition to lower secondary school. Moreover, the extent to which adolescents' motivational behavior and prior academic achievement predicted these patterns was examined. The latent transition analyses identified four relatively stable latent patterns of maternal homework involvement in Grades 6 and 7: averagely involved, psychologically controlling and intrusive, noninvolved, and intrusive monitoring and helping. The higher task avoidance and the poorer achievement adolescents showed, the more likely their mo…
The Quality of Maternal Homework Involvement : The Role of Adolescent and Maternal Factors
2021
This study examined adolescent and maternal factors of the quality of maternal homework involvement and the extent to which the factors predicted adolescents' subsequent achievement through adolescents' and mothers' perceptions of the quality of maternal homework involvement. The sample consisted of 847 Finnish adolescents and their 662 mothers who both rated the quality of homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control) in the fall of Grade 6. Adolescents rated their positive and negative academic emotions. Mothers rated their beliefs about adolescents' school success, their positive and negative emotions, and adolescents' task avoidance in homework situations. Info…

The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Lifelong physical activity and long-term labor market outcomes
2018
This thesis examines the longitudinal associations between leisure-time physical activity, educational attainment, and labor market outcomes. Data are drawn from the ongoing longitudinal Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study, which is combined with register-based data from Statistics Finland. The thesis consists of four empirical studies organized in separate chapters. The study chapters are preceded by an introductory chapter presenting the background literature and an overview of the thesis, including the research questions, data, and main results. Chapter 2 analyzes the role of childhood physical activity in academic achievement and subsequent educational attainment. We find that phys…
Approaches to Learning, Wellbeing, Study Success and Employment Expectations in a Finnish Business School
2018
In business school contexts, the relationships between the learning approach, wellbeing, study success, and employment expectations have not been widely studied. In this paper, we analyze learning approaches and student wellbeing in a Finnish business school. We found a significant relation between them and success in business school studies and employment expectations. Major-subject related differences in approaches to learning were observed. For example, social relations were particularly emphasized by students of marketing. More specifically, we found seven learning approaches: 1) Independent learners, 2) Teacher-centered learners, 3) Social learners, 4) Fumbling learners, 5) Theoretical…
Tie oppimiseen ja kulttuurienvälisyyteen : intensiivikurssi opettajaopiskelijoiden kansainvälistäjänä
2012
Tapaustutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten Erasmus-intensiivikurssille osallistuminen edistää opettajaopiskelijoiden kansainvälistymistä, sosiaalista kanssakäymistä sekä luonnontieteiden oppimista. Tarkentavat alakysymykset kohdistuivat siihen, millaisia tavoitteita opiskelijoilla on kurssia kohtaan ja vastaavatko arvioidut hyödyt niihin. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin myös sitä, miten kansainvälistyminen toteutuu ja sosiaaliset suhteet muodostuvat. Lisäksi erityishuomio kohdistui luonnontieteen oppimiseen ja henkilökohtaisten taitojen kehittymiseen. Tulevien opettajien kansainvälistyminen on perusteltua, sillä he tulevat työssään kasvattamaan oppilaita kansainvälisyyteen. Aineisto ke…
