The Development of the Dealing with Challenging Interaction (DCI) Method to Evaluate Teachers’ Social Interaction Skills
2012
The Dealing with Challenging Interaction (DCI) method was developed to measure social interaction skills of teacher study groups. The participants were 70 teachers from three schools. The inter-rater agreement, Cohen’s kappa, varied between 0.57- 1.00. The discriminant validity was supported by a cluster analysis differentiating between the skilful and less skilful teachers. The results of the supplementary instrument were equivalent to the cluster analysis maintaining criterion oriented validity of the method developed. The DCI appeared to be a reliable and valid tool for measuring teachers’ social interaction skills. Peer reviewed

Tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaidot vaikuttavat merkittävästi koulumenestykseen ja yleiseen hyvinvointiin. Myönteiset tunteet parantavat muun muassa motivaatiota, keskittymiskykyä, muistia, sujuvuutta ja oppimista. Tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaidot ovat keskeisiä kieltenoppimisessa ja –opettamisessa sillä nimenomaan kielen avulla kommunikoidaan ja ollaan vuorovaikutuksessa muiden ihmisten kanssa. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kehittää viidesluokkalaisten tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaitoja englanninopetuksen yhteydessä. Tutkija-opettaja järjesti opetuskokeilun keski-suomalaisessa alakoulussa, jossa tutkija toimi myös sijaisena. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia ja soveltaa tehtäviä joiden avulla void…

The development of teachers’ responses to challenging situations during interaction training
2014
The qualitative changes in teachers’ responses in challenging situations were analysed during a four-day Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET) course, which aimed at improving teachers’ interpersonal dynamics with pupils, parents and colleagues.

Qualitative abductive content analysis was used to classify the data. Frequencies based on this analysis were also looked at. After TET the teachers described the behaviour of their pupils and expressed their feelings and the actual consequences of that behaviour, instead of using generalized labels and subjective interpr…
From social and emotional learning in adolescence to emotional-skill training in teachers = Desde la educación socio-emocional en adolescencia al en…
2019
The idea of introducing social and emotional learning in educational settings is based on the assumption that emotions are an essential element of school life. Emotional competencies are conducive to student learning and well-being, in addition to conveying emotional resources for teachers and educators. The development of such abilities is a prerequisite for students and teachers to engage in productive and enjoyable classroom dynamics. Indeed, well-developed emotional competence enhances students’ psychological adjustment, self-esteem, adaptive coping with stress at school and academic success. However, engaging in disruptive behaviors and school violence (bullying) may be attributed to a…
