Differences between students' PISA reading literacy scores and grading for mother tongue and literature at school : A geostatistical analysis of the …

2016

In Finland, the national Core Curriculum for Basic Education defines the learning objectives along with the numerical grade to be given for good competence in each school subject in the final phase of basic education. While serving as a guideline for schools and teachers, it should also ensure an objective evaluation of all students in Finland. In this paper, we take a closer look at the equality of student assessment in Finland in the light of student performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. This study investigates the relationship between the grades given to students in mother tongue and literature at different schools and the same students’ reading l…

Edukacja czytelnicza dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym w refleksji nauczycielskiej

2018

W artykule podjęto próbę przytoczenia kilku refleksji na temat doniosłej roli edukacji czytelniczej dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym, uznając, że czytelnictwo ma charakter inherentny. Jest wartością samą w sobie, warunkując tym samym jakoś uczestnictwa młodego pokolenia w kulturze i jej współtworzenie. Dlatego bardzo ważną sprawą w interpretowaniu definicyjnym pojęcia współczesnej edukacji czytelniczej jest uwzględnienie emocjonalnej, moralnej i behawioralnej oraz poznawczej sfery rozwoju dzieci. Wobec powyższego studenci pedagogiki o specjalności edukacja elementarna jako przyszli nauczyciele oraz dorośli pośrednicy lektury znający kanon literatury pięknej i posługujący się tekstami należą…

Can we increase children’s rights endorsement and knowledge?: A pilot study based on the reference framework of competences for democratic culture

2022

This pilot study is the first to examine whether a novel curriculum based on the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) could increase children’s endorsement and knowledge of children’s rights. We conducted a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention and a comparison school. Pupils (n = 172) from Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Spain attended schools in which the curriculum was taught, whereas pupils in the comparison group (n = 120) attended schools in the same city where the curriculum was not taught. Both groups were tested on their endorsement and knowledge of rights before and at the end of the intervention. Children in the intervention group incre…

Aldo Capitini e la riforma della scuola pubblica nell’Italia degli anni Sessanta

2018

Questo articolo ricostruisce gli anni della militanza del pedagogista italiano Aldo Capitini nell’ADESSPI (Associazione per la Difesa e per lo sviluppo della Scuola Pubblica). Dall’esame di diverse fonti, quali opere dell’autore (carteggi, dispense dei corsi universitari, volumi, articoli), pubblicazioni ministeriali, letteratura critica, ma anche pubblicazioni dell’associazione e degli altri soci dell’ADESSPI, è emerso il ruolo di primo piano che Capitini svolse all’interno del movimento di riforma della scuola italiana degli anni Sessanta, impegnandosi in prima persona nella progettazione e nella stesura delle sue linee programmatiche. I temi a cui egli dedicò maggiormente la sua militanz…

Skolen som reformasjonsprosjekt i Norge på 1500–tallet

2019

Artikkelen undersøker latinskolens utvikling i Norge de første 70 årene etter innføringen av reformasjonen. Brudd og kontinuitet med middelalderskolen drøftes. Skiftet av styringsstruktur fra kirken til kongen og embetsverket fremheves som det største bruddet. Til tross for at latinskolen var den viktigste presteutdanningsinstitusjonen på 1500–tallet, ble den ikke en ren kirkeskole. Jeg argumenterer mot oppfatninger om at skolen forandret seg lite, og at reformasjonen virket negativt inn på den. Tvert om viser jeg at latinskolene ble utbygd og fikk stor betydning for implementeringen av selve trosskiftet. Jeg argumenterer også for at skolene i Norge kunne være tjent med sentralstyringen.

Prejudice and need for relatedness expressed in the narratives of Finnish Roma early school leavers: A multi-case study

2023

AbstractSchool discontinuation in Finland is more common among the Finnish Roma than among the population as a whole. We lack knowledge of the perspective of those of the Roma, representing a minority inside a minority, who have left compulsory school without a leaving certificate. Within a study about school experiences of imprisoned early school leavers in Finland we had six participants with a Finnish Roma background, whose experiences of relatedness, and frustration of it, we examine in this paper. We conducted narrative interviews with the participants, applying a co-operative narrative interpretation to the meanings of what was told. After the field process, we interpreted the narrati…

Revisiting the Narratives of Finnish Early School Leavers: Mapping Experiences of Detachment through a Self-determination Theory Lens

2022

Basic psychological needs and people’s experiences affect the choices they make, and further shape the trajectories followed through school. The present study focuses on the perspectives of people who left school without graduating. Through narrative interviewing processes we collected the storied experiences of eleven imprisoned early school leavers in Finland. We triangulated data-driven themes and used as theory the concept of three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Of these, relatedness was the most common and a shared topic brought forth by the participants. Experiencing dissatisfaction and frustration as a result of the need for relatedness played a cru…

Stability and transitions in school-aged children's physical education need satisfaction profiles : A latent transition analysis

2022

This study examined stability and transitions of school-aged children's self-determination theory-based need satisfaction profiles in physical education (PE) over three years. Participants were 1121 (girls 573, boys 548) Finnish school children. The self-report data were assessed using identical procedures from 2017 to 2020. Three latent need satisfaction profiles were identified: Low, Mid, and High need satisfactions. Transitions mainly occurred between grade 5 and 6 in elementary school, after which the profile memberships remained relatively stable. The profile memberships were not school- or PE group dependent over time. These results indicate that school-based actions to achieve a posi…
