Solidaridad y universalidad de los derechos

2019

Esta tesis aborda el principio de indivisibilidad entre la universalidad de los derechos y los deberes del ser humano apelando a un corolario: el deber de solidaridad. Para ello se analiza el sentido de la noción de solidaridad y la doble tensión en la que se mueve el concepto a través de la dicotomía público/privado y abierto/cerrado que la caracteriza, examinándose las dos dimensiones mutuamente condicionantes que lo componen: la ético-política y la jurídica. Ello nos permite examinar la problemática que encierra la configuración de la solidaridad como un valor jurídico, fuente de deberes también jurídicos, y ponderar la correspondencia entre dignidad, deberes y derechos. Así, primero se …

Universal Restrictions in Reading: What Do French Beginning Readers (Mis)perceive?

2020

International audience; Despite the many reports that consider statistical distribution to be vitally important in visual identification tasks in children, some recent studies suggest that children do not always rely on statistical properties to help them locate syllable boundaries. Indeed, sonority-a universal phonological element-might be a reliable source for syllable segmentation. More specifically, are children sensitive to a universal phonological sonority-based markedness continuum within the syllable boundaries for segmentation (e.g., from marked, illegal intervocalic clusters, "jr," to unmarked, legal intervocalic clusters, "rj"), and how does this sensitivity progress with reading…

Kotouttavat kontaktit : puheenvuoroja maahanmuuttajien kotoutumisesta ja hyvinvoinnista

2018

Käsillä oleva julkaisu on syntynyt SEMPRE-hankkeessa (Social Empowerment in Rural Areas). SEMPRE:n tavoitteena on ollut tarkastella ja vahvistaa maahanmuuttajataustaisten ihmisten sosiaalista osallisuutta. Kehittämistyössä ovat olleet mukana maahanmuuttajien lisäksi Kokkolan ja Pietarsaaren kaupungit sekä näiden kaupunkien alueella kotouttamistyötä tekevät hankkeet, yhdistykset ja yhteisöt. SEMPRE on ulottunut myös Keski-Pohjanmaan ja Pohjanmaan maakuntien pienempiin kuntiin. Erityisesti Veteli on ollut mukana hankkeessa. Tässä hankkeessa käsitetään, että maaseutu tai pienet kaupungit ovat ympäristönä erityisiä maahanmuuttajien osallisuuden näkökulmasta. SEMPRE on osa EU-rahoitteista (Inter…

Multilingualism in (Foreign) Language Teaching and Learning

2019

I am an applied linguist who considers language learning to be a socially constructed practice. In fact, I would rather talk about applied language studies than applied linguistics, as I understand this area of inquiry to include any language-related research that bears a strong connection to societally significant phenomena. In that broad palette of research, my own work would be placed at the interface of the areas of language learning and teaching, on the one hand, and discourse studies and sociolinguistics, on the other. I have always worked with students who wish to be language teachers. Over the years, I have seen hundreds of students entering working life that is in constant turmoil.…

Private health insurance in the universal public healthcare system: The role of healthcare provision in Finland

2023

Voluntary private health insurance (VPHI) has gained popularity in universal public healthcare systems. We studied how the local provision of healthcare services correlated with VPHI take-up in Finland. Nationwide register data from a Finnish insurance company was aggregated to the local level and augmented with high-quality data on public and private primary care providers’ geographical closeness and fees. We found that the sociodemographic characteristics explained the VPHI take-up more than public or private healthcare provision. The VPHI take-up was negatively associated with distance to the nearest private clinic, while the associations with distance to public health stations were stat…

Yhteisöllinen argumentointi sosionomikoulutuksessa avoimia ongelmia ratkottaessa

2017

The aim of this study was to develop teaching methods for practising argumentative problem-solving in a degree program of social services. The purpose was to acquire knowledge about multiple (face-to-face, online, and integrated) learning environments for studying argumentative problem-solving. In addition, the typical features of collaborative argumentation in student discussions were identified. Two teaching experiments were arranged in courses on drug and alcohol abuse. Both experiments required students to solve open-ended problems through role-play regarding a fictive girl’s use of alcohol. The idea of blended learning was applied in the first teaching experiment. Students (n = 29) wro…

Argument graph as a tool for promoting collaborative online reading

2013

This study explored how the construction of an argument graph promotes students' collaborative online reading compared to note-taking. Upper secondary school students (n = 76) worked in pairs. The pairs were asked to search for and read source material on the Web for a joint essay and either construct an argument graph or take notes during online reading. The data consist of transcription protocols of student pairs' discussions and joint essays. The study indicated that argument graphs may be useful tools when teachers want students to pay attention to the argumentative content of online sources and to consider relations between arguments. Additionally, with argument graphs, teachers can su…

Revealing colonial power relations in early childhood policy making: An autoethnographic story on selective evidence

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic exposes uncertainty, instability and glaring inequality that requires urgent global policy decisions. Historically, bureaucrats regard uncertainty as the enemy and look for tested solutions (Stevens, 2011). In contrast, Fielding & Moss (2010) acknowledge an uncertain future and encourage shifting policy making towards the search for possibilities instead of replicating singular solutions. Escobar (2020) advocates for pluriversal politics, with many possibilities created through collective decision-making by autonomous interlinked networks. In this paper, I combine autoethnography with policy analysis drawing on my own experience in South African early childhood pol…

Behind screens : challenges and opportunities of participatory online peace education in Finland

2022

This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of participatory online teaching and learning in higher education. It analyses an online peace education course taught during the Covid-19 pandemic in three Finnish universities between 2020–2021. The course explored fundamental mediation skills and practices of positive peace through participatory methods and applied drama. We show how the online setting affected students and teachers, by focusing on the challenges and opportunities for participatory pedagogy in an online environment. The course feedback from students (N = 23) was studied by content analysis and conjoined with the ethnographic observations of the authors. Our findings…
