2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021, University of Ljubljana. All rights reserved.

The study is theoretically premised on the interconnected concepts of pedagogical doing, pedagogical being, pedagogical…
Suomalaisten liikunnanopettajien urakehitys ja työtyytyväisyys
2013
Nykypäivänä työurat ovat monipuolistuneet ja tämä näkyy myös opettajien keskuudessa. Opettajien siirtyminen pois varsinaisesta opetustehtävästä on yleistynyt ja näin opettajaksi kouluttautuneiden työurat ovat ainakin osittain muuttumassa. Myös liikunnanopettajat ovat jo pitkään olleet paitsi opetustaitojensa myös liikunnallisten taitojensa vuoksi haluttua työvoimaa muuallakin kuin koulumaailmassa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää liikunnanopettajaksi valmistuneiden nykyistä työnkuvaa ja ammatinvaihtoon vaikuttaneita tekijöitä. Kohderyhmänä olivat vuosina 1980–2008 valmistuneet liikunnanopettajat (N=1430). Tutkimuksen mukaan liikunnanopettajaksi valmistuneista 23 prosenttia oli …

Towards more learning-centred English-medium education: promoting the combination of backward design and community of practice in teacher training
2022
Purpose Teaching in English-medium education (EME) requires mastery of content and ability to teach in a multilingual setting, but also pedagogical expertise and didactic agility. However, there is an apparent lack of proper training of EME teachers, who are typically experts of their field, but not necessarily equipped to design and implement EME. Moreover, there is still an evident gap with respect to understanding how EME teachers turn curricula into actual teaching and students’ learning. By addressing this gap, the present study provides recommendations for EME teacher training. Approach Finland, with its long EME traditions, was the present study’s context. Data saturation, i.e. adequ…
Explaining Hooke’s Law : Definitional Practices in a CLIL Physics Classroom
2016
This article examines how a teacher in a Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) program engages in various definitional practices during a plenary episode in a physics class taught in English in Finland. The episode focuses on explaining Hooke’s law, which involves defining its key concepts and their relations as instructable matters. Using multimodal conversation analysis, the article shows how the teacher accomplishes definitions and definition-related actions through talk and a range of embodied and material resources. The different configurations of resources are coordinated to elucidate the key concepts, to contextualize them in relation to the larger activity, and to situate …
Analyzing science teachers’ support of dialogic argumentation using teacher roles of questioning and communicative approaches
2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers use different types of discourse to support dialogic argumentation. Dialogic argumentation is a collaborative process in which students construct arguments together and examine arguments presented by their peers. Science teachers can use argumentation as a vehicle to help students gain a working understanding of science content and the nature of science and its practices. Whole-class closing discussions from video-recorded lessons are analyzed to study the discourse used to support argumentation by two physics teachers in lower secondary schools. Analysis of discourse includes coding of communicative approach at the episode level and …
A language socialisation perspective on Swedish immersion in Finland : Students, teachers, and parents as key actors
2022
Abstract This retrospective review applies a language socialisation perspective in examining the findings of a four-year research project on Swedish immersion in Finland. Findings from nine sub-studies within the project are reported with a point-of-view from three key actors’ (teachers, students, and parents) language socialisation processes. Results show that a special feature of immersion teacher socialisation is its continuous attention toward the additive multilingual nature of immersion education, which requires sustained attention to multilingual language use and development. Students in Swedish immersion are socialised into the use of multiple languages in school and act as socialis…
