Student teachers' questioning behaviour which elicit conceptual explanation from students
2016
Getting students to explain their thinking is one of the big challenges in teachers’ work. Previous studies have analysed teacher questioning by focusing on amounts of different types of questions. In this study, I use questioning diagrams to see how questioning develops during the lessons. The data includes video recordings of student teachers’ mathematics lessons in secondary and upper secondary school. The data is analysed by constructing questioning diagram for each student teacher and locating conceptual explanations given by students. The lessons which included largest amount of conceptual explanations are further studied. In these lessons the student teachers had lengthy discussions …
Prezentācijas 9. klases skolēnu runas plūduma uzlabošanai angļu valodas stundās
2020
Mūsdienu skolēniem ir jābūt gataviem izaicinājumiem un pieaugušo lomai nākotnē, kur liela nozīme ir prasmei izteikt savas idejas skaidri un pārliecināti. Prezentācijas ir lielisks veids, lai veicinātu pašapziņu un pārliecību par saviem spēkiem, uzstājoties auditorijas priekšā. Diplomdarba mērķis ir izpētīt, kā prezentāciju izmantošana var uzlabot 9. klases skolēnu runas plūdumu angļu valodas stundās. Gadījuma pētījums ir izvēlētais izpētes paņēmiens ar sekojošām datu vākšanas metodēm: skolēnu anketēšana pētījuma sākumā un beigās, lai uzzinātu viņu viedokli par prezentāciju efektivitāti uzstāšanās prasmju un runas plūduma uzlabošanā, skolotāju anketēšana, lai atklātu viņu viedokli par prezen…
Skolēna līderprasmju attīstības metodes vispārizglītojošās skolas kontekstā
2015
Mūsdienu Latvijas vispārizglītojošā skolā skolēni apgūst daudz mācību priekšmetu: matemātiku, dabaszinības, valodas, literatūru, u.c. Bet nevienā no šiem priekšmetiem netiek mērķtiecīgi attīstītas komunikācijas prasmes, emociju savaldīšana, empātija un līdera prasmes, kuras ir tik nepieciešamas mūsdienu pasaulē. Šī darba mērķis ir teorētiski izpētīt un praktiski pārbaudīt līdera prasmes attīstības metodes, kuras ir pielietojami skolas vidē. No literatūras analīzes tika secināts, ka līderība ir emocionālās inteliģences augstāka pakāpe, un lai attīstītu līdera prasmes, jāstrādā pie emocionālas inteliģences attīstīšanās. Šim nolūkam darba gaitā bija izstrādāts nodarbības kurss, kurā piedalījās…
Mental Skills of an Athlete as a Resource of Professional Longevity in Sport
2021
The aim of the study was to assess associations between dimensions of mental skills, psychological readiness and predictors of career longevity among current athletes. Mental skills dimensions were measured with the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT). The psychological predictors of athletic career longevity were measured with the Athletic Coping Skills Scale-28 (the ACSI-28) producing scores for seven coping skills and with the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) which produced scores for confidence in competition. Overall, 253 current athletes (average age 22 years) of various competitive levels (classified to 5 groups according to the national sport classification sy…
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN´S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL SKILL, PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS AND SUCCESS IN COMPETITIONS IN FINLAND
2019
The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test…
Regional differences in Italian students' performance: a simulation model
2017
This work presents the first results of a research project seeking to build a simulation model able to reproduce the differences of Italian students’ performance at regional level. A preliminary qualitative cause-and-effect model defines the main variable involved in the inter-generational skill formation processes, as well as their interplay with the job market context and the triggering of motivational forces for new skill acquisition. Such model was designed according to a system dynamics perspective, considered suitable for capturing the interrelatedness of key variables and for providing useful simulation tools to conduct and communicate future scenario analyses. Keywords: regional…
Rakstītprasmes veicināšana sākumskolas skolēniem ar mācīšanās traucējumiem
2019
Diplomdarba autore Linda Spalva. Šobrīd autore studē Latvijas Universitātē, studiju programmā speciālās izglītības skolotājs/skolotājs logopēds. Paralēli studijām autore apmeklē dažādus kursus gan logopēdijā, gan speciālajā pedagoģijā. Kopš 2018.gada sākuma strādā vispārizglītojošā skolā par speciālo pedagogu. Diplomdarba tēma – Rakstītprasmes veicināšana sākumskolas skolēniem ar mācīšanās traucējumiem. Rakstītprasme ir viena no dzīves pamatprasmēm, ko skolēns apgūst skolā, tādēļ ļoti būtiski to izkopt un pilnveidot. Arvien biežāk nākas saskarties ar skolēniem, kuriem ir dažāda veida traucējumi, tādēļ nepieciešams noteikt traucējuma veidu un sniegt bērnam palīdzību. Diplomdarba mērķis ir te…
Activity Theory as a Lens to Identify Challenges in Surgical Skills Training at Hospital Work Environment
2015
In this paper the concepts from activity theory (AT) are applied for identifying the challenges and contradictions emerging in surgical residentâs curriculum based training at hospital. AT is utilised as a lens to identify contradictions that cause disturbances, problems, ruptures, breakdowns, and clashes which emerge while surgical skills training is implemented in a new way at hospital. We especially aim at finding solutions for contradictions which emerge while the new and old working culture are confronted and the workers are required to balance themselves between the patient care demands and workplace learning requirements. We are using the conceptual theoretical approach to describe…
Elementary Math to Close the Digital Skills Gap
2018
All-encompassing digitalization and the digital skills gap pressure the current school system to change. Accordingly, to ’digi-jump’, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) adds programming to K-12 math. However, we claim that the anticipated addition remains too vague and subtle. Instead, we should take into account education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM, and define clear learning targets for programming. Correspondingly, the whole math syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these changes and the feedback collected from SW professionals and educators. These findings reveal an imbalance between supply and demand, i.e., what is ove…
Synchronization of hidden chaotic attractors on the example of radiophysical oscillators
2017
In the present paper we consider the problem of synchronization of hidden and self-excited attractors in the context of application to a system of secure communication. The system of two coupled Chua models was studied. Complete synchronization was observed as for self-excited, as hidden attractors. Beside it for hidden attractors some special type of dynamic was revealed.
