La maitrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants : : une analyse des performances productives par frontière stochastique
2014
International audience; Cet article vise à déterminer les facteurs susceptibles d'expliquer le niveau de maîtrise du français écrit par les primo-arrivants en âge de travailler, sachant que peu de recherches ont été réalisées en France à ce sujet. L'originalité de cet article réside dans l'estimation d'une frontière stochastique de production afin d'expliquer les scores en français écrit des primo-arrivants (considérés comme producteurs de leurs propres compétences) et leurs performances productives. Les principaux résultats mettent en avant que la langue maternelle, l'âge au moment de l'immigration, le diplôme de la mère et la vie sociale sont des éléments qui influencent l'efficacité de c…
Daudzveidīgo spēju teorijas izmantošana individuālā apmācībā
2018
Tā kā angļu valoda ir pati populārākā svešvaloda pasaulē, cilvēki ir spiesti to apgūt. Viens no visefektīvākajiem veidiem ir individuālā valodas apmācība, jo tās laikā pedagogs uzmanību vērš uz vienu skolēnu. Daudzveidīgo spēju teorijas pielietojums palīdz nodrošināt efektīvu nodarbību. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pieaugušie ar daudzveidīgo spēju teorijas pielietojuma palīdzību individuālās valodas apmācības laikā var sekmīgi apgūt angļu valodas prasmes. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, tika veikta aprakstošā gadījuma izpēte. Pētniecības metode bija privātnodarbību vērošana, kas palīdzēja secināt, ka lingvistiskās un interpersonālās spējas tiek pielietotas visbiežāk. Lai gan daudzveidīgo spēju t…
Profiles of teaching practices and reading skills at the first and third grade in Finland and Estonia
2017
The Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure was used to observe 91 first-grade and 70 third-grade teachers in Estonia and Finland. Using a person-oriented approach, four profiles of teaching practices were identified in grade 1: the child-centred style, teacher-directed style, child-dominated style and a mixture of the child-centred and teacher-directed styles. An additional profile, the extreme-child-centred style, was found in grade 3. Children taught by child-centred teachers showed the highest reading skills, whereas children taught by child-dominated teachers showed the lowest skills. More Estonian than Finnish teachers applied the child-dominated style in grade 1 and the extreme…
Core numerical skills for learning mathematics in children aged five to eight years – a working model for educators
2015
The aim of this study was to model the most crucial numerical factors to the development of mathematical skills among children aged five to eight years (i.e. kindergarten, preschool, first and second graders). We categorised numerical skills into four main groups based on the results of longitudinal studies. A series of analyses of test batteries designed to measure the development of mathematical skills in children yielded results in support of this construct. Based on our findings we propose a working model for teachers of core numerical skills that focuses on four major factors: (1) symbolic and non-symbolic number sense; (2) understanding mathematical relations (early mathematical-logic…
Developmental Dynamics of Phonemic Awareness and Reading Performance During the First Year of Primary School
2004
This study investigates prospective relationships between phonemic awareness and reading performance during the first year of Finnish primary school. Pedagogical interest lay in finding out whether systematic use of phonics in reading instruction supported children’s reading performance even if children can already decode. A total of 85 children were examined three times on phonemic awareness and four times on reading performance during the first school year. At the beginning of the school year, they were also tested on initial reading skills. The results showed that the development of phonemic awareness and reading performance was reciprocal. Reading performance predicted phonemic awarene…
Accelerating early language development with multi-sensory training
2012
This paper reports the outcome of a multi-sensory intervention on infant language skills. A programme titled ‘Rhyming Game and Exercise Club’, which included kinaesthetic–tactile mother–child rhyming games performed in natural joint attention situations, was intended to accelerate Finnish six- to eight-month-old infants’ language development. The participants were 20 infants (10 training group children and 10 control children). Their cognitive skills and both receptive and expressive language skills (Bayley Scales III) were tested three times (pre-, post- and follow-up assessments). The groups differed significantly in receptive language skills at the baseline, in favour of the controls. Th…
Adaptation and implementation of the German social-emotional learning programme Papilio in Finland : A pilot study
2019
This study investigated the cross‐national adaptation and implementation of Papilio, a German social–emotional learning programme, in Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. Papilio is a developmentally focused, scientifically based intervention programme focused on preventing behavioural problems and fostering social–emotional competence in children aged 3–7. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the cross‐national adaptation and cross‐cultural adaptation and implementation of Papilio in the Finnish ECEC context. Results from qualitative interviews with one Finnish Papilio trainer, 11 early childhood education (ECE) teachers, two ECE special education tea…
Developing preschoolers' social skills through cross-cultural physical education intervention
2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in children's social skills after their participation in a physical education programme named ESPEC (‘Early Steps’ Physical Education Curriculum). The evaluators of the children's social skills were the trained educators who implemented the curriculum as well as parents of the participating children. This study was conducted in three European countries and was part of a European transnational project. The participants were 286 preschoolers from Cyprus, Greece and Italy. Twelve educators and 286 parents completed the ‘Social Behaviour Instrument’ (SBI) before and after the implementation of the ESPEC. This four months’ physical educati…
Training for gender equity: an experience through choreographies in Early Childhood Education
2020
INTRODUCCIÓN. En Educación Infantil, el trabajo de los denominados temas transversales toma especial relevancia porque permiten reforzar las destrezas del alumnado en diferentes áreas, que contribuyen a un desarrollo adecuado durante la Educación Primaria. Los contenidos de la asignatura “Procesos musicales en Educación Infantil”, de tercer curso del Grado de Maestra de Educación Infantil, permiten el trabajo de esos temas, concretamente, las coreografías. Éstas pueden ser utilizadas como herramientas lúdicas que garantizan no sólo el trabajo de las habilidades motrices básicas, sino también la equidad, la educación cívica y moral…, por el contenido de las canciones que pueden ser utilizada…
The Nature Tour Mobile Learning Application. Implementing the Mobile Application in Finnish Early Childhood Education Settings
2014
This paper explores the process and impact of the implementation of the Nature Tour mobile learning application in Finnish early childhood education settings. The interest is to explore whether the concept of Nature Tour mobile application meets the needs of early childhood education in field trips. The idea of the mobile application is to help recording and comparing nature observations as well as to arouse children’s interest in nature. The feasibility of the mobile application was evaluated through a theoretical framework, which includes the core aspects of mobile learning. The evaluation framework consists of two levels titled core level and medium level. Three of the core level aspects…
