Activity Theory as a Lens to Identify Challenges in Surgical Skills Training at Hospital Work Environment
2015
In this paper the concepts from activity theory (AT) are applied for identifying the challenges and contradictions emerging in surgical residentâs curriculum based training at hospital. AT is utilised as a lens to identify contradictions that cause disturbances, problems, ruptures, breakdowns, and clashes which emerge while surgical skills training is implemented in a new way at hospital. We especially aim at finding solutions for contradictions which emerge while the new and old working culture are confronted and the workers are required to balance themselves between the patient care demands and workplace learning requirements. We are using the conceptual theoretical approach to describe…
Elementary Math to Close the Digital Skills Gap
2018
All-encompassing digitalization and the digital skills gap pressure the current school system to change. Accordingly, to ’digi-jump’, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) adds programming to K-12 math. However, we claim that the anticipated addition remains too vague and subtle. Instead, we should take into account education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM, and define clear learning targets for programming. Correspondingly, the whole math syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these changes and the feedback collected from SW professionals and educators. These findings reveal an imbalance between supply and demand, i.e., what is ove…
Synchronization of hidden chaotic attractors on the example of radiophysical oscillators
2017
In the present paper we consider the problem of synchronization of hidden and self-excited attractors in the context of application to a system of secure communication. The system of two coupled Chua models was studied. Complete synchronization was observed as for self-excited, as hidden attractors. Beside it for hidden attractors some special type of dynamic was revealed.
Fysioterapeuttien itsearvioidut näkemykset taidon osaamisesta akuuttisairaalassa
2018
Taitoa tarvitaan, kun sovelletaan tietämystä käytännössä, kuten ongelmien ratkaisussa ja teh-tävien suorittamisessa. Taidot opitaan toistojen ja harjoittelun kautta. Fysioterapeutin ydin-osaaminen kuvastaa ammatillisen tiedon ja taitojen soveltamista fysioterapeutin työssä. Euro-pean Commission (2017) on tehnyt eurooppalaisen tutkintojen viitekehyksen (EQF), jossa on nostettu esille eri tasoisissa tutkinnoissa tarvittavat tiedot, taidot ja vastuut. Fysioterapia on viitekehyksen tasolla kuusi, jonka mukaan tulee hallita ”edistyneet taidot, joita vaaditaan mo-nimutkaisten ja ennalta arvaamattomien ongelmien ratkaisemiseksi työssä”. Pro gradutyön tarkoituksena oli selvittää fysioterapeutin its…
Kustannuskilpailukyky, vaihtotase ja palkkakoordinaatio
2016
Artikkelissa tutkitaan talouden ulkoisen tasapainon ja kustannuskilpailukyvyn välistä yhteyttä sekä sitä, miten palkkakoordinaatio vaikuttaa talouden ulkoiseen sopeutumisnopeuteen. Ulkoisen tasapainon ja kustannuskilpailukyvyn välistä yhteyttä tarkastellaan useampaa eri estimointimenetelmää käyttäen sekä aiemman varsin laajan tutkimuskirjallisuuden pohjalta. Empiiristen tulosten perusteella kustannuskilpailukyvyn ja nettoviennin välinen suhde ei vaikuta erityisen vahvalta. Tämä tulos saa myös osin tukea aiemmasta kirjallisuudesta. Palkkakoordinaation ja ulkoisen tasapainon sopeutumisnopeuden välistä yhteyttä on tutkittu vähemmän. Useampaan eri estimointitapaan pohjautuvat tulokset viittaava…
Early Oral Language Comprehension, Task Orientation, and Foundational Reading Skills as Predictors of Grade 3 Reading Comprehension
2016
The present five-year longitudinal study from preschool to grade 3 examined the developmental associations among oral language comprehension, task orientation, reading precursors, and reading fluency, as well as their role in predicting grade 3 reading comprehension. Ninety Finnish-speaking students participated in the study. The students’ oral language comprehension (vocabulary knowledge, listening comprehension, and inference making) and task orientation were assessed in preschool, kindergarten, and grade 3. Reading precursors (letter knowledge and phonological awareness) were assessed at the first two timepoints and reading fluency at the third timepoint. Structural equation modeling sho…
Taksonomia sprawności słuchania i mówienia w języku polskim jako ojczystym
2021
In their article, Marta Chyb-Winnicka and Anna Tabisz present a taxonomic approach to the teaching of listening and speaking skills in lessons of Polish as a native language. The authors show that the 2017 provisions of the core curriculum for the Polish language in primary schools in Poland put special emphasis on the development of reading and writing skills. For this reason, Chyb-Winnicka and Tabisz underline the importance of teaching the two other skills, i.e., listening and speaking, and argue that taxonomic categories should be used to systematize the knowledge of these skills.
Explaining classroom teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education
2019
Teacher attitudes have been identified as an important resource when striving towards inclusive education as defined in the Salamanca Statement (1994). This study surveyed some key factors associated with teacher attitudes towards inclusion. The participants were 1,456 classroom teachers in Finnish primary schools who were asked about their readiness to include in their classrooms a student with a specified special educational need (SEN). The results were reviewed in association with some background variables, including workload concerns, evaluation of professional skills and the opportunity to get extra support if needed. The results show that classroom teachers’ positive attitudes towards…
Teaching practices in early primary school : dimensions, patterns and consequences
2017
The present thesis tested the reliability and validity of the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM; Stipek & Byler, 2004, 2005), identified the profiles of teaching practices, i.e., teaching styles, and, finally, examined the predictive role of teaching styles in early primary students’ reading skills. Specifically, the thesis had four aims: first, to examine the psychometric properties of the ECCOM in Finnish and Estonian early primary school, i.e., grades 1 and 3; second, to identify the profiles of teaching practices, i.e., teaching styles, among Finnish and Estonian teachers by using a person-oriented approach; third, to compare the use of teaching styles between Finnish…
From social and emotional learning in adolescence to emotional-skill training in teachers = Desde la educación socio-emocional en adolescencia al en…
2019
The idea of introducing social and emotional learning in educational settings is based on the assumption that emotions are an essential element of school life. Emotional competencies are conducive to student learning and well-being, in addition to conveying emotional resources for teachers and educators. The development of such abilities is a prerequisite for students and teachers to engage in productive and enjoyable classroom dynamics. Indeed, well-developed emotional competence enhances students’ psychological adjustment, self-esteem, adaptive coping with stress at school and academic success. However, engaging in disruptive behaviors and school violence (bullying) may be attributed to a…
