Smell but not taste reactivity is related to food neophobia in toddlers: results from the Opaline cohort
2014
National audience; Context and objective: Research has previously identified relationships between chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. However, most studies have addressed this question using declarative data, and without analyzing separately smell and taste. The objective of the present study was twofold. The first objective was to assess the relationships between olfactory reactivity and taste reactivity in toddlers, using experimental designs with different tastants and odorants. The second objective was to determine the relationships between olfactory /taste reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of t…
CLIL Challenges : Secondary School CLIL Teachers’ Voices and Experienced Agency in Three European Contexts
2020
This qualitative interview study focuses on CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teacher agency in three European contexts, Austria, Finland and Andalusia, Spain. The aim of the study is to understand how individual CLIL teachers experience their agency when encountering challenges in their work and to demonstrate the multifaceted quality of their agency. The study employs the Listening Guide method (Gilligan, 2015) to listen to the voices of three secondary school subject teachers from three diverse contexts. The analysis shows that CLIL challenges both empowered and disempowered the teachers depending on how meaningful they found their work and what their possibilities to act w…
Repensant la formació inicial del professorat per a la diversitat lingüística i cultural a l'aula
2011
Durant les últimes dècades els sistemes educatius europeus estan fent front a nombrosos reptes relacionats amb el tractament de la diversitat cultural i lingüística de l’alumnat. Per tal de poder afrontar aquesta diversitat es fa necessari impulsar plantejaments globals que s’adrecin al conjunt de la població amb la finalitat de construir una societat cohesionada. A l’article exposem algunes de les principals dificultats relatives a la formació inicial del professorat en quan a la gestió i al tractament de la diversitat lingüística i cultural, així com diferents projectes i enfocaments que pretenen establir noves directrius per a la seva formació competencial.
Finnish teacher-students’ views on home-school cooperation
2019
This study focused on the views on home-school cooperation of teacher-students who are in the process of becoming professionals. The data were gathered from five focus-group interviews of 19 Finnish teacher-students. The data were analysed thematically. Better learning results were not the general aim of cooperation; instead, the aim was the child’s well-being. All parties benefited when cooperation functioned well. Yet, factors related to parents and teachers’ lack of time hinder cooperation. The views of home-school cooperation were a combination of the participants’ childhood memories, stories they had heard from their friends and colleagues and, less saliently, ideas originating from te…
MOCSE Centered on Students: Validation of Learning Demands and Teacher Support Scales
2020
Based on The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, acronym in Spanish) framework, the primary objective of this study is to test the factorial validity and reliability of two MOCSE measure instruments referred to the preactional-decisional phase, specifically to learning demands and teacher supports perceived by students to overcome such demands in the classroom context. The participants were 357 Spanish undergraduate students. The data obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the “Learning Demands Scale” (MOCSE-LDS) has a two-factor structure: perceived desirability and feasibility of demands. The data also revealed that the “Teacher Support Questionnair…
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…
Scaffolding through dialogic teaching in early school classrooms
2016
The present study examines what types of dialogic teaching patterns can be identified in the early school years, and how teachers scaffold children's participation and shared understanding through dialogic teaching. Thirty recorded lessons from preschool to Grade 2 in Finnish classrooms were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Two teacher-initiated and two child-initiated dialogic teaching patterns were identified. Teacher's scaffolding in teacher-initiated dialogues was characterised by high responsibility in maintaining the interactional flow and utilisation of diverse strategies. In the child-initiated dialogues, the teachers' scaffolding consisted of listening and inquiry, and …
Kun perusopetuksen oppilaat oireilevat psyykkisesti : opettajien kokemuksia
2017
The aim of this study was to examine and interpret teachers’ experiences of pupils with emotional and behavioural disordres in comprehensive schools in Finland. The term ‘pupils with emotional and behavioural disorders’ refers here to children who either cannot or do not want to act according to the general expectations in a school climate. Children live in several social settings that affect their development, of which the most important ones are home and the school. It is known that positive teacher-pupil interaction has an advantageous effect on student adaptation, performance and behavior. However, behavior-related problematics affect the forming of interactive relationships. Educationa…
Femininity in films : Presentation of female teachers in school movies
2010
Koulumaailmaan sijoittuvat ja sitä kuvaavat elokuvat ovat todella yleisiä, ja yleensä niissä keskeisessä roolissa on opettaja ja hänen toimintansa koulussa oppilaiden ja muiden kollegojen kanssa. Opettajat elokuvissa on aihe, jota on tutkittu aiemmin jonkin verran tosin melko yleisellä tasolla erittelemättä esimerkiksi eri sukupuolta edustavia opettajia. Elokuvissa esiintyviä opettajahahmoja on tutkittu jaottelemalla heidät hyviin ja huonoihin opettajiin sen perusteella, millaisiksi heidät kuvataan ja millaisia piirteitä heihin yhdistetään. Näitä piirteitä on tutkittu kiinnittämällä huomiota esimerkiksi siihen, millainen suhde opettajalla on oppilaisiin ja millainen hänen roolinsa on luokk…
Finnish upper secondary school EFL teachers' satisfaction with current textbooks
2015
Oppikirjojen merkitys suomalaisessa vieraiden kielten opetuksessa on kiistaton. Oppikirjojen sisältöä ja käyttöä onkin tutkittu lukuisien aihepiirien, kuten esimerkiksi erilaisten sisältöanalyysien kautta (ks. esim. Hietala 2013, Tergujeff 2013), mutta niiden, jotka todella käyttävät oppikirjaa työvälineenään, ääni ei aina ole tullut kuuluviin. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin suomalaisten lukion englannin opettajien tyytyväisyyttä nykyisin markkinoilla oleviin lukion englannin kielen oppikirjoihin usean ajankohtaisen näkökulman kautta. Nämä näkökulmat olivat oppikirjan valinta, vastaavuus opetussuunnitelman kanssa, kielitaidon eri osa-alueiden harjoittaminen, autenttisen materiaalin hyödyn…
