School and choice: An ethnography of a primary school with bilingual classes
2010
Based on a one-year ethnographic study of a primary school in Finland with specialised classes in Finnish and English (referred to as bilingual classes by research participants), this research traces how nationed, ethnicised, classed and gendered differences are produced and gain meaning in school. I examine several aspects of these differences: the ways teachers and parents make sense of school and of school choice; the repertoires of self put forward by teachers, parents and pupils of the bilingual classes, and the institutional and classroom practices in Sunny Lane School (pseudonym). My purpose is to examine how the construction of differentness is related to the policy of school choice…
Motivational strategies used by English teachers : students’ opinions
2017
Se, miten motivoituneita ihmiset ovat tekemään asioita elämässään, vaikuttaa suuresti heidän saavutuksiinsa. Motivaatiolla on myös huomattava yhteys menestymiseen vieraiden kielten opiskelussa. Motivaation vaikutusta vieraiden kielten opiskeluun on tutkittu laajasti, mutta opiskelijoiden mielipidettä opettajien käyttämiin motivointikeinoihin ei ole juuri tutkittu Suomessa. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin lukion ensimmäisen luokan opiskelijoiden mielipiteitä motivointikeinoista, joita englannin opettajat voisivat käyttää opetuksessaan. Opiskelijat täyttivät kyselylomakkeen, jossa heidän tuli valita Zoltán Dörnyein opettajan käyttämien motivointikeinojen listasta neljä eniten motivoivaa ja n…
Fostering Heuristic Strategies in Mathematics Teacher Education
2018
International audience; The “double discontinuity” stated by Felix Klein 1908 is still relevant in the mathematics teacher education at German universities. We are developing a course approach, which is intended to bridge the double discontinuity in a didactic dimension. We offer additional learning opportunities for teacher students, which are characterized by clarifications of mathematical methods that are fundamental to the regular lecture contents. We focus especially on reflections on heuristic strategies, which are the core part of mathematical methods according to George Pólya. Feedback shows that students consider our approach as helpful in the transition from school to university.
Observed Classroom Quality Profiles of Kindergarten Classrooms in Finland
2012
Research Findings: The aim of the present study was to examine classroom quality profiles of kindergarten classrooms using a person-centered approach and to analyze these patterns in regard to teacher and classroom characteristics. Observations of the domains of Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support were conducted in 49 Finnish kindergarten classrooms utilizing the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (R. C. Pianta, K. M. LaParo, & B. K. Hamre, 2008 ). In addition, questionnaire data on classroom and teacher characteristics, as well as Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (D. Stipek & P. Byler, 2004 ) observational ratings, were used in the analyses. L…
Reducing Relationship Conflict in Virtual Teams With Diversity Faultlines: The Effect of an Online Affect Management Intervention on the Rate of Grow…
2020
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of an online affect management intervention on relationship conflict through the rate of growth of team resilience in virtual teams with diversity faultlines. Fifty-two 4-person teams participated in a randomized controlled trial design with repeated measures (i.e., three measurement occasions). Teams were randomly assigned to either an intervention designed to help them manage emotions in virtual teams or a control condition. Our findings showed that affect management can reduce the level of relationship conflict in virtual teams with diversity faultlines and that this effect can be explained by the pattern of change in team resilience in re…
Are quality management practices enough to improve process innovation?
2015
The popularity of quality management as a system for continuous improvement has not been accompanied by deep theoretical understanding of its effects on process innovation. In this work, the resource-based view serves as the basis for the construction of a model designed to explain the effects of quality management practices (QMP) on process innovation performance and the mediating role of dynamic capabilities in this relationship. The empirical data were analysed using the structural equation modelling technique by examining 6 competing models that represent full, partial mediation and non-mediation relationships on a sample of 550 Spanish industrial companies. The findings indicate that t…

La formazione a distanza dei docenti sulla metodologia dell’apprendimento basato sui problemi (PBL)
2022
In questi ultimi anni, il lockdown, tra didattica a distanza prima e didattica integrata poi, ha imposto in tempi brevi un processo di digitalizzazione nella formazione, un aggiornamento tecnologico in materia di piattaforme e di connessione, nonché l’attivazione degli insegnanti sul piano metodologico. Nella ricerca sono stati coinvolti 98 docenti di scuola secondaria di primo grado. Questi hanno partecipato ad una attività formativa in rete mediante la metodologia del Problem Based Learning (PBL), basata sull’approccio “Seven Jump” di Barrows e Tamblyn (1980). È stata articolata in 3 incontri, di 3 ore ciascuno, durante i quali si sono alternate, utilizzando la piattaforma Microsoft Teams…
