Long-term profiles of work-related rumination associated with leadership, job demands, and exhaustion : A three-wave study
2017
ABSTRACTThis study extends previous research on recovery from work stress by investigating the role of qualitative job demands and leadership in employees’ work-related rumination (WRR). The long-term development of WRR was examined from a person-centred approach across 22 months. Drawing on the stressor-detachment framework and conservation of resources theory, we investigated whether different WRR profiles could be understood in terms of levels of and changes in quantitative, cognitive, and emotional job demands, several aspects of supervisory leadership, and exhaustion that was expected to result from the impeded energy restoration process. A three-wave questionnaire study was conducted …
Within-student variability in learning experiences, and teachers’ perceptions of students’ task-focus
2016
In order to advance models of educational processes (intraindividual, intensive longitudinal), we propose a model in which we specify state and trait constructs, and an intraindividual variability construct. In our ecological momentary assessment study, we investigated how trait-level and intraindividual variability of students’ learning experiences (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, task difficulty, effort exertion, help-seeking and competence evaluations) converged with teacher-reported student task-focus. 285 primary school students’ (Years 5 and 6) completed the Learning Experience Questionnaire using handheld computers, on average 13.6 learning episodes during one week (SD = 4.6; Ran…
Erityisopetuksesta oppimisen ja koulunkäynnin tukeen
2015
Erityisopetuksena tunnettu perusopetuksen keskeinen toimintamalli on ollut voimallisten muutosten kohteena 1990-luvun lopulta aina näihin päiviin saakka. Vuoden 1998 perusopetuslain myötä alkanut asteittaisten uudistusten sarja kulminoitui vuonna 2011 voimaan tulleisiin perusopetuslain muutoksiin ja oppimisen ja koulunkäynnin tuen järjestelmän toimeenpanoon. Edellisenä vuonna toteutettu valtionosuuslain muutos vaikutti myös olennaisesti erityisopetuksen rahoitukseen ja resursointiin. Teos kokoaa yhteen kolmen toisiaan teemoiltaan sivuavan Helsingin ja Jyväskylän yliopistojen tutkimushankkeen tuloksia. Tutkimushankkeissa sekä rahoituksen että erityisopetuksen järjestelmän reformia on tarkast…
Linguistic diversity and assessment in multilingual schools
2018
En un entorno en el que la diversidad lingüística es natural, la metodología de evaluación afronta nuevos retos. La equidad en el proceso evaluativo aconseja la consideración de aspectos relacionados con las características psicométricas de las pruebas, el desarrollo de la competencia lingüística, o el contexto sociolingüístico, a través de modelos explicativos sobre las variables contextuales de naturaleza lingüística que inciden en el rendimiento. Utilizando datos poblacionales de centros educativos de segundo curso de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria que ofertan más de un modelo lingüístico en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco (N=45), este trabajo analiza las respuestas de 2783 estudi…
Modernising Labour Law: Re-Shaping Discourse(s) and Text(s)
2012
The European Union establishes minimum requirements in the field of labour rights and work organisation (EC Treaty, articles 136-139). These requirements regard the consultation and information of workers, working hours, equal treatment and pay, insolvency and the transfer of undertakings. Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU and member states in the field of labour law has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the EU and the actors involved in the labour law dialogue. From this point of view, the Green Paper on Modernising labour law (Green Paper – Modernising labour law to meet the challenges of the 21st…
White Paper on Governance: EU Attempt to Popularize Legal Discourse?
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU institutions and member states in the field of European action has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the actors involved in the Community dialogue.

The aim is to modernize European public action in order to increase the accountability of European executive bodies to the elected assemblies and open up the Union's decision-making procedures to allow citizens to …
¿Cómo abordan los textos de Educación Primaria la competencia en alimentación y actividad física?
2018
La incorporación de las competencias básicas al currículo escolar ha planteado la necesidad de definir las competencias en salud que el estudiante debe alcanzar cuando finalice la enseñanza obligatoria. De ahí que este grupo de investigación haya elaborado unos estándares de competencias que tratan de dar respuesta a los principales problemas de salud. Para ello se ha elaborado un instrumento que permite analizar si dichas competencias están presentes en los recursos educativos, concretamente en los libros de texto, con la finalidad de obtener información sobre la visión y el abordaje que estos presentan sobre la promoción de hábitos de vida saludable. El presente trabajo estudia el tratami…
Neo Open Innovation in the Digital Economy : Harnessing Soft Innovation Resources
2018
Successive increases in R&D that creates new functionality are essential for global competitiveness. However, unexpectedly, as a consequence of the two-faced nature of information and communication technology (ICT), excessive R&D results in a marginal productivity decline leading to a decrease in digital value creation. In order to overcome such a dilemma, global ICT firms have been endeavoring to transform themselves into disruptive business model. Neo open innovation that harnesses soft innovation resources may be a solution to this critical question. On the basis of an empirical analysis focusing on forefront endeavors to this dilemma by global ICT firms, this paper attempted to demonstr…
