Individuals owning to minorities are more at risk for bullying, because they differ from the group. Among these, students with disabilities and other special educational needs (SEN) are…
A conceptual discussion of embodiment in special music education : Dalcroze Eurhythmics as a case
2017
Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) have difficulties in learning, perception and communication that often pose challenges for participation in traditionally organised music lessons with instruments. Embodied approaches to music education concentrate on utilising body movements to create and enhance learning. As embodied musical activities are drawn from the personal experiences of the students, it is possible to meet the diverse needs of learners efficiently. In this article, we provide introductory remarks on the conceptual content and sphere of embodiment in the context of special music education. We use Dalcroze Eurhythmics as an example, as it is deeply grounded in embodied m…

Positioning children with special educational needs in early childhood education and care documents
2018
The article critically discusses the practice of describing children’s special educational needs (SEN) in early childhood education and care (ECEC) pedagogical documents.

In this study, we used discourse analysis to investigate how professionals position children and construct their SEN in pedagogical documents. The research data consisted of 143 documents on 29 Finnish children.…

Child Well-Being in Times of Confinement: The Impact of Dialogic Literary Gatherings Transferred to Homes
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unexpected situation that has forced people to find educational alternatives to support learning and ensure child well-being.
