Reviewing 15 years of research on neoliberal conservation: Towards a decolonial, interdisciplinary, intersectional and community-engaged research age…
2021
Abstract In this paper, we undertake an extensive review of the neoliberal conservation literature with the aim to explore and substantiate the principal ways in which conservation is neoliberalized in practice as well as who has studied these processes and through which collaborative patterns. Using descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis, we explore selected characteristics of the peer-reviewed scholarship, including most commonly used concepts, methods and topics, geographical and co-authorship patterns, critical readings of key processes of neoliberalization, including commodification, privatization, dispossession, governance rescaling, governmentalities, and its engagement…
A Validation Study of Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Secondary in the Finnish School Context
2017
This study examined the reliability and validity of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Secondary (CLASS-S) in Finnish classrooms. Trained observers coded classroom interactions based on video recordings of 46 Grade 6 classrooms (450 cycles). Concurrent associations were investigated with respect to teacher self-ratings (e.g., efficacy beliefs and teaching-related stress). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the hypothesized three-factor structure of the original CLASS-S (Emotional Support, Organizational Support, and Instructional Support), with some modifications, provided a better fit for the data compared with one- and two-factor structures. Structural validity was demonstrate…
Mothers’ trust toward teachers in relation to teaching practices
2013
Abstract This study examined the extent to which mothers’ trust toward the classroom teacher of their child in first grade is related to observed teaching practices in Finland and Estonia. Sixty-six teachers (32 in Finland, 34 in Estonia) were observed using the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM; Stipek & Byler, 2004 ). Mothers in Finland (n = 266) and in Estonia (n = 348) filled in questionnaires measuring their trust in their child's first grade teacher. The connection between mothers’ education, child gender, and classroom size in relation to mothers’ trust was also investigated. The results of multilevel modeling showed that mothers in both countries trusted more in t…
Exploring the contribution of grassroots innovations to justice: using the capability approach to normatively address bottom-up sustainable transitio…
2020
There is growing interest in the potential of grassroots innovations for the transition towards more just and sustainable societies. Nevertheless, there is lack of clear normative discussion regarding these processes. The paper strives to propose and test a framework that enables an analysis of how and in which sense specific grassroots innovation processes may be contributing to the construction of more just societies. To this end, we connect elements of the multi-level perspective on sociotechnical transitions (frequently used in the analysis of grassroots innovations) with elements of the capability approach, which offers a multi-dimensional perspective to justice. The framework is used …
Comparing technology acceptance of K‐12 teachers with and without prior experience of learning management systems : A Covid‐19 pandemic study
2021
Covid-19 pandemic has caused a massive transformation in K-12 settings towards online education. It is important to explore the factors that facilitate online teaching technology adoption of teachers during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to compare Learning Management System (LMS) acceptance of Finnish K-12 teachers who have been using a specific LMS as part of their regular teaching before the Covid-19 pandemic (experienced group) and teachers who started using it for emergency remote teaching during the pandemic (inexperienced group). Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology framework, a self-report questionnaire was administered to 196 teachers (nexperienc…

2017
General Consulate of the Republic of Poland established in Odessa in 2003 is the third Polish diplomatic mission in the Black Sea region of present — day Ukraine. The second Polish consulate, representing the reviving Polish statehood, functioned at the Black Sea between January 1919 and the beginning of February 1920, with almost a 5-month-long break, during the first Bolshevik occupation of Odessa. Zenon Belina Brzozowki was the consul in office during the period of January, 4, 1919 to March, 3, 1919 and then again since the end of August, (between April and August he stayed in Istanbul), in October and November, 1919 he was replaced by Stanisław Srokowski, a diplomat in the rank of I cla…
ASR in Classroom Today : Automatic Visualization of Conceptual Network in Science Classrooms
2017
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) field has improved substantially in the last years. We are in a point never saw before, where we can apply such algorithms in non-ideal conditions such as real classrooms. In these scenarios it is still not possible to reach perfect recognition rates, however we can already take advantage of these improvements. This paper shows preliminary results using ASR in Chilean and Finnish middle and high school to automatically provide teachers a visualization of the structure of concepts present in their discourse in science classrooms. These visualizations are conceptual networks that relate key concepts used by the teacher. This is an interesting tool that gives…
Syllabus Design for Pre-service English Language Teachers in Spain
2018
This paper describes the steps involved in designing educational programs for pre-service English language teachers in Secondary education within the Spanish context, following the current educational law (LOMCE). Considering the century-long search for the best method within TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), and the continuous reforms of educational laws in Spain, pre-service teachers must learn the competences and skills essential for designing of their own teaching program. The series of steps described here will enable teachers to show accountability to educational authorities and increase their self-confidence, subsequently improving their craft in the language classroom.
Web tools per promuovere l’apprendimento collaborativo nella formazione iniziale dei futuri insegnanti
2017
L’approccio flipped può risultare una valida proposta didattica in quanto promuove le forme collaborative di apprendimento. L’apprendimento collaborativo, che trova le sue radici nella teoria socioculturale e nella teoria sociocognitiva, per decenni è stato un pilastro della formazione negli USA. Attraverso il lavoro di ricerca si è voluto descrivere lo sviluppo della competenza digitale nei futuri insegnanti, promuovendo al contempo lo spirito collaborativo e la capacità di mobilitazione delle proprie risorse cognitive, emotive e creative. Si è inteso altresì osservare e rilevare il grado di collaborazione, la capacità di richiedere aiuto, l’ impegno motivato e la costanza dei futuri inseg…
"Clase al revés". Nuevos escenarios en la formación didácticotecnológica de docentes de un Centro de Educación Especial.
2016
El uso de las TIC en educación está creciendo con el fin de mejorar y actualizar las metodologías didácticas para que se adapten tanto a la sociedad del conocimiento como a las capacidades e intereses de los estudiantes, a sus lenguajes de comunicación y a nuevas maneras de aprender (Jenkins, 2013). En ese contexto de evolución y cambio, las TIC se configuran como tecnologías inclusivas abriendo las posibilidad de innovación del sistema educativo también con aquellos estudiantes que presentan necesidades educativas especiales (n.e.e.) asociadas a algún tipo de discapacidad. La formación del profesorado supone por ello un elemento de primer orden (EADSNE, 2013). En ese sentido, investigadore…
