Children's exploration of the concepts of home and belonging: Capturing views from five European countries.

2021

Understanding one's sense of belonging is a central part of identity formation and self-awareness; feeling safe somewhere, with specific people is identified as a basic human need. This paper explores the ideas of children from three age groups in five different European as they discussed the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’. Findings showed that the children's ideas could be organised into six interrelated aspects: Spatiality, Materiality, Multiplicity, Social Relations, Affect, and Dislocation. Whilst there were differences in the ways that the children conceptualised home across the classes, even the youngest children were able to describe their ideas using metaphors and abstract conce…

Teachers' daily physiological stress and positive affect in relation to their general occupational well‐being

2023

Background Teachers' stress, affect and general occupational well-being influence their teaching and their students. However, how teachers' daily physiological stress and positive affect are related in the classroom is unknown. To reduce teachers' stress and enhance their positive affect, it is crucial to understand how occupational well-being relates to stress and affect. Aim The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between teachers' daily physiological stress and positive affect in authentic classroom settings and the roles played by teachers' self-efficacy beliefs, perceptions of school climate and burnout symptoms in daily stress and affect. Sample The sample consisted of 4…

Models and Streams of Data Journalism

2015

This paper presents the initial results of a two-year research project, the Data Journalism Work Practices, which focuses on newsrooms in Finland, UK and US. Data journalism or data-driven journalism has been defined simply as journalism based on large data sets (or big data) Rogers 2011; Bounegru et al. 2012). According to our ongoing research on data journalism work methods, we can claim this has been an oversimplification. In this paper we will argue that all the brief definitions of data journalism lack nuances, and the multiple layers that contemporary data journalism already consists of in newsrooms. Based on six interviews of leading Finnish, American and British data journalists we …

Klases kultūras transformācijas Latvijā fotogrāfiju un atmiņu avotos (1964–2004)

„Klases kultūra” ir jauns jēdziens pedagoģijas vēstures pētniecībā. Tās elementu izpēte ar dažādu vēstures avotu palīdzību sniedz ieskatu skolas realitātē noteiktos vēstures posmos un palīdz izprast un interpretēt cilvēku individuālo pieredzi, kas saistās ar skolas dzīvi, kurā veidojas cilvēka personība, sociālie kontakti un nostiprinās garīgā un emocionālā attīstība. Raksts iepazīstina ar klases kultūras jēdziena teorētiskajiem aspektiem, kā arī, izmantojot vēstures avotu – fotogrāfiju un interviju – analīzi, tiek rekonstruēta klases kultūras tranformācija Latvijā no autoritārā režīma Padomju Savienības laikā uz demokrātisko iekārtu postpadomju Latvijā.

Innovare la didattica all’Università: uno strumento di riflessione per i docenti

2020

Per realizzare una didattica universitaria efficace sono necessarie alcune caratteristiche personali del docente come l’impegno, la motivazione e la conoscenza di metodologie e strumenti di valutazione adeguati. Riteniamo che per avviare la formazione dei docenti universitari sia necessario avere un quadro chiaro delle loro conoscenze didattiche e docimologiche. In questa ricerca presentiamo uno strumento che abbiamo sottoposto inizialmente a 30 docenti universitari di area pedagogico- didattica di vari atenei italiani e che successivamente, tenendo conto dei suggerimenti ricevuti, abbiamo somministrato ad un campione di 311 docenti dell’Ateneo Palermitano di tutti i dipartimenti e di quasi…

Od folkloru do e-folkloru, czyli przemodelowanie przez Internet przedmiotu współczesnych badań folklorystycznych

2022

The emergence of the Internet, a new electronic means of communication, initiated the process of a qualitative change in contemporary culture. This has led, among other things, to a necessary redefinition ofthe subject of folklore research and, consequently, to highlighting its anthropological dimension. That, in turn, requires first and foremost a change in the concept of orality which in itself may no longer be reduced to direct (oral) provision of content, as the virtual language, enriched with a Computer interface, creates new possibilities for using words, along with their combination with image and music (visual folklore). On the one hand, on the Internet we may observe new aspects of…

Assessment conceptions of Finnish pre-service teachers

2022

The aim of this quantitative survey study (N = 287) was to investigate the assessment conceptions of three different pre-service teacher groups (classroom teachers, subject teachers and special needs teachers). Assessment conceptions were best described by the following three main factors: 1) assessment of learning, 2) assessment for teaching and learning and 3) assessment as a harmful action. These main factors were clustered into three assessment conception profiles – assessment-cautious, assessment-positive and assessment-critical. Pre-service special needs teachers showed more assessment-oriented conceptions emphasising both the assessment of learning and assessment for learning than th…

Teachers’ Focus of Attention in First-grade Classrooms: Exploring Teachers Experiencing Less and More Stress Using Mobile Eye-tracking

2021

This study investigated teachers’ focus of attention and stress in first-grade classrooms. Teachers’ (n = 53) focus of attention was recorded in fall and spring with a mobile eye-tracking device, and the teachers reported stress via questionnaires. Correlation analysis was used to examine association between teacher stress (exhaustion, cynicism, and inadequacy) and focus of attention. Then, one teacher reporting more stress and one reporting less stress were selected for a case study to examine variations in their focus of attention. The results showed positive associations between teachers’ perceived inadequacy and overall focus of attention (whole eye-tracking recording) both in fall and …

Knowledge-building patterns in educational dialogue

2017

This study aimed to examine knowledge-building patterns in Grade 6 educational dialogues. The data consisted of 20 video-recorded lessons from the classes taught by seven teachers, selected by using a latent profile analysis and examined with a qualitative functional analysis of classroom talk. Episodes of educational dialogue were found to represent three main types of knowledge, based on facts, views and experiences. These three types were further identified as forming six diverse knowledge-building patterns in educational dialogues. The findings indicated that factual orientation dominated the Grade 6 lesson dialogues. However, factual knowledge building often occurred with the other two…
