METODES RUNĀŠANAS TRAUKSMES MAZINĀŠANAI RUNĀJOT ANGĻU VALODAS STUNDĀS SĀKUMSKOLĀ
2022
Mācoties svešvalodu, skolēnam ir jāapgūst rakstīšanas prasmes, klausīšanās prasmes, lasīšanas prasmes un runāšanas prasmes. Darba autore saskārās ar to, ka ir skolēni, kuriem ir grūtības apgūt tieši runāšanas prasmes, un viņi ir izjūt trauksmi un pat bailes brīžos, kad ir jārunā angļu valodā. Šī darba mērķis bija noskaidrot iespējamos cēloņus skolēnu trauksmei un rast atbilstošus risinājumus, kā to samazināt, lai skolēni varētu attīstīt savas runāšanas prasmes. Lai sasniegtu mērķi autore veica gadījuma pētījumu, kurā piedalījās divi 1. klases skolēni un tika pētīti viņu runāšanas trauksmes iemesli un pielāgotas metodes to mazināšanai. Tika atklāts, ka katram no skolēniem trauksmes iemesli u…
Investigating the direct and indirect effects of a school-based leadership program for primary school students: Rationale and study protocol for the …
2023
Background Leadership is a valuable skill that can be taught in school, and which may have benefits within and beyond the classroom. Learning to Lead (L2L) is a student-led, primary school-based leadership program whereby older ‘peer leaders’ deliver a fundamental movement skills (FMS) program to younger ‘peers’ within their own school. Aim The aims of the study are to determine the efficacy of a peer-led FMS intervention on: (i) peer leaders’ (aged 10 to 12 years) leadership effectiveness (primary outcome), leadership self-efficacy, well-being, and time on-task in the classroom; (ii) peers’ (aged 8 to 10 years) physical activity levels, actual and perceived FMS competency, cardiorespirato…
LEARNING STYLES AND METACOGNITION
2014
In this paper we introduce the results of a research that involved 60 primary school pupils. Attention is drawn to a relevant issue in instructional research: the potential value to learners of metacognitive awareness. Some implications of these issues for learning styles research are then discussed. The purpose of this study was to investigate how students perceive learning and their learning styles preferences. Through a reflection on relations between the personalization of education and knowledge of learning styles, we will emphasize how the very important issue, for a teacher, is to create his own working knowledge on his students' learning styles, if he really wants effectively stimul…
DinosARs - Learning with the help of augmented reality
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 A two-dimensional way of interacting with learning material has been the norm fora long time. We’ve read books, taken notes and been taught from a blackboard sinceyouth, and has for most of us worked out just fine, but we are all different. We havethose visual learners, those who learn through seeing things, auditory learners, thosewho learn best through hearing and kinesthetic learners, those who learn by doing.Augmented reality can provide many unique affordances that can deliver a learningexperience that can benefit all learning types. Augmented reality can utilize both vi-suals, sound, and interactivi…
The feasibility and possible benefits of indoor exergames in primary school
2017
The purpose of this study is to identify the potential contribution of exergames to Primary schoolers, to define what exergames are and to classify them, as well as whether exergames could be an effective tool in physical education lessons from the point of view of students. Can exergames work as a spark to turn on the engine of physical activity practice? Will students acquire or even develop any motor skills by playing exergames that can be transferred into classical physical activities? The study was conducted with eight students of 6th grade in a Primary school in Finland. Students were selected randomly without asking prerequisites or gaming background. During spring season the group p…

HOW TO IMPROVE METACOGNITION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
2014
Educational and psychological research in the past decade has found that metacognitive capacity starts earlier than was initially realized; is more amenable to educational intervention than was previously thought; can be taught to a wide range of learners; and is both inherently contextual and a unique capacity that is distinguishable from intelligence, cognitive processes and motivation. In this paper we will see how metacognition can be improved in primary school pupils when teachers use instructional strategies that encourage meaningful learning, stimulate metacognitive reflection and provide continuous feedback. The purpose of this article is to explore the notion of metacognition with …
How do gender, Internet activity and learning beliefs predict sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry?
2021
Today’s students search, evaluate and actively use Web information in their school assignments, that is, they conduct an online inquiry. This current survey study addresses sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry, and to what extent free-time and school-related Internet activity, gender and learning beliefs explain these. The questionnaire was administered in 10 schools to 340 sixth-graders in Finland. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three elements of self-efficacy beliefs: self-efficacy in Web searching, the evaluation of sources and synthesising information. Furthermore, attitudes towards online inquiry loaded into two fact…
Oppitaipaleella : katsaus monikielisyyteen päiväkodista yhdeksännelle
2009
Tässä luvussa teen kielen oppimisen näkökulmasta hieman tarkemman katsauksen lasten ja nuorten oppitaipaleeseen päiväkodista peruskoulun päättövaiheeseen. Keskiössä ovat maahanmuuttajataustaiset lapset ja erityisesti suomen kielen kehittyminen, mutta on syytä muistaa, että - parhaimmillaan - näissä instituutioissa myös suomenkieliset juuriltaan suomalaiset kylpevät sekä kulttuureissa että kielissä. Tarkemmin ja konkreettisemmin luvussa keskitytään kuudesluokkalaisiin helsinkiläisiin koululaisiin ja heidän tilanteeseensa esimerkkitapauksena. peerReviewed
Effects of coaching on generalist primary music teachers´ classroom practice and their `musical self-concept´
2016
The majority of music lessons in primary schools are covered by generalist primary music teachers, usually with little or no training in teaching it. This practice-based research project is part a PhD program to professionalize generalist music teachers in primary schools to teach music lessons. The aim of this study was to describe changes in the generalist primary music teachers´ didactic classroom practices in teaching music. Moreover, this study aimed to analyze the generalist primary music teachers´ development of their `musical self-concept` (Spychiger, 2010). This longitudinal intervention study is qualitative in character. Participants were 8 generalist primary music teachers and 4 …
