Associations Among Teacher–Child Interactions, Teacher Curriculum Emphases, and Reading Skills in Grade 1
2017
Research Findings: The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which the quality of teacher–child interactions and teachers’ self-reported curriculum emphases are related to children’s reading skill development during their 1st school year. To accomplish this, we assessed the reading skills of 1,029 Finnish children (M age = 85.77 months) twice during Grade 1, and the children’s teachers (n = 91) completed questionnaires concerning their literacy-related curriculum emphases. In addition, teacher–child interactions in terms of emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support were observed in 29 classrooms. The results of multilevel modeling showed that a…
Significant in life : Core learning outcomes of a social and emotional course in physical education teacher education
2022
The purpose of the study is to explore physical education (PE) students’ social and emotional learning (SEL) and the meaningful learning experiences during the SEL course. In the teaching profession, understanding SEL is important because the guidance of learning and group dynamics is essentially an interactive social process. Further, previous research shows that focusing on socioemotional skills promotes students’ academic achievement. Teachers’ SEL skills can be developed by training. In PE teacher education annually, 60 first-year-students participate in a 20-hours SEL skills course based on Gordon’s interaction model and SEL concepts. The course consists of practising SEL skills such a…
University students’ (dis)engagement experiences in synchronous sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic
2022
In the past two years, student engagement in online learning situations has become a mutual concern for educators all over the world. The impact of working in online environments and using video and other communication channels on students’ learning experiences is still not fully understood. The present study addresses this question by drawing on students’ written reflections and interviews from the Finnish higher education context collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses the qualitative method of thematic analysis to investigate students’ experiences of interacting in synchronous sessions and their perceptions on (dis)engagement. The analysis shows the importance of versatile teachi…
Teachers' emotions related to students : a critical review
2014
Opettajien tunteita on tutkittu yhä enemmän muutaman kuluneen vuosikymmenen aikana. Tämän kirjallisuuskatsauksen tarkoituksena on esitellä ja arvioida viimeaikaisia tutkimuksia, jotka koskevat opettajien oppilaisiin liittyviä tunteita. Lisäksi tarkastelussa ovat englanninopettajien oppilaisiin liittyvät tunteet. Tämä katsaus on osa pro gradu -tutkielmaani Opettajankoulutuslaitoksella. Tutkimus lähestyy tunteita relationaalisesta näkökulmasta. Sen mukaan tunteet ovat pääosin sosiaalisia ja syntyvät vuorovaikutuksessa ympäristön ja muiden ihmisten kanssa. Tunne on reaktio sosiaaliseen, ihmisen tärkeäksi kokemaan tapahtumaan ja tunne myös vaikuttaa ihmisen toimintaan. Relationaalinen lähestymi…
Miten opettaja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteetin? Otteita opettajan arjesta
2002
Laadullisen tutkimuksen päätavoitteena oli pureutua siihen, miten opettaja ymmärtää ja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteettinsa koulun arjessa. Koska auktoriteettisuhde ei todennu ajatuksissa, puheessa ja kuvitelmissa, tutkin myös, miten auktoriteetti toimii ja saa oikeutuksen luokkatilanteessa. Pedagoginen auktoriteetti liitetään taustakirjallisuudessa toisaalta varsinaisen vallankäytön ulkopuoliseen, kasvatukseen liittyvään auktoriteettisuhteeseen, toisaalta korostetaan henkilösuhteen merkitystä auktoriteettisuhteen muotoutumisessa. Työn peruskysymys on sama kuin työn nimi: Miten opettaja rakentaa pedagogisen auktoriteetin? Osakysymyksiä ovat seuraavat: Mitä ilmiöön pedagoginen auktoriteetti…
Understanding Different Approaches to ECE Pedagogy through Tensions
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The concept of pedagogy is the key to understanding pedagogy in early childhood education (ECE) in the Nordic countries, which are known for their high quality of life and education. However, in ECE, there are several different approaches toward pedagogy and it can be said that pedagogy is a multidimensional and dynamic concept. In this paper, the different approaches to pedagogy are defined and reconceptualized through an integrative literature analysis focusing on scientific papers and research reports of the concept. Five approaches to pedagogy were constructed: pedagogy through interaction, pedagogy through s…
Teacher-child interaction quality and children's self-regulation in toddler classrooms in Finland and Portugal
2021
This study examines the association between teacher–child interaction quality and children's self‐regulation in Finnish and Portuguese toddler classrooms. The participants included 230 Finnish (M = 29; SD = 3 months) and 283 Portuguese (M = 30, SD = 4 months) toddlers and their teachers (n = 43 Finland; n = 29 Portugal). The children's behavioural self‐regulation (attention, working memory, and inhibition control) was individually tested, and the teachers evaluated the children's self‐regulation skills in the classroom. The quality of the teacher–child interactions (i.e., emotional and behavioural support and engaged support for learning) was evaluated using the CLASS‐Toddler observation in…

Kształcenie akademickie a niepełnosprawność - aktualny problem współczesnej edukacji
2018
Wybór kierunku kształcenia, dokonywany przez młodego człowieka, powinien być determinowany jego indywidualnymi predyspozycjami, możliwościami psychofizycznymi oraz sprecyzowanymi potrzebami i celami życiowymi. Powyższe założenie odnosi się również do osób z niepełnosprawnością. Zgodnie z przyjętą i propagowaną ideą normalizacji, to nie sam człowiek, ale środowisko go otaczające ma zostać przygotowane tak, aby każdy student mógł kształcić się na wybranym przez siebie kierunku. Zatem uczelnie wyższe zaczęły otwierać się dla osób z niepełnosprawnością, a kształcenie na tym poziomie stało się oczekiwanym standardem. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie znaczenia możliwości kształcenia na poziomie wyższ…
