Teaching issues of contemporary history using historical sources and modern teaching methods
2017
The study of history is becoming increasingly less interesting to students, despite the fact that the history teaching process has been continuously modernized during recent years. It is an observation which can be perceived even if we don`t make an elaborated research in the field. Some empirical data show us that students in secondary and High Schools are less interested in studying History than in studying Geography or other social sciences. The number of students who are determined to study History in universities has significantly dropped in recent years [1]. Of course, there are multiple causes and the factors behind this change are numerous and varied. In this paper we handle only so…

Adapting teaching and assessment strategies to enhance competence-based learning in the framework of the european convergence process
2007
In the framework of the European higher education area, one of the key issues is to discuss how teaching, learning activities and assessment can be best organised to allow students to reach both transferable skills and subject related competences.

Thus, the proposal included a learning contract that must be signed for all the pupils enrolled on this particular group. Both active teaching-learning methods and additional assessment strategies were applied to achieve the objectives, defined in terms …

Autonomy and ICT in Environmental Education
2012
[EN] This paper aims at tackling the need for appropriate knowledge when addressing Environmental Education (EE) from an autonomous and critical viewpoint. It also aims at showing the need for the appropriation of ICT with a view to foster the perception of the environmental complexity, as well as the construction of a new kind of environmental knowledge and awareness. These two factors should be capable of modifying the way human beings behave and relate to their environment. Before looking at effective ways to achieve this goal, a suitable praxis should be developed in such a way that a new environmental awareness emerges. This new praxis should in turn help foster the autonomy of both ed…
Preventing early leaving in VET: distributed pedagogical leadership in characterising five types of successful organisations
2010
This paper presents 14 organisers of upper secondary education in Finland with exceptionally low dropout rates. As a case study in which common strengths were defined, five types of organisations with typical characteristics were found: Working life‐oriented, Networked and team‐based, Cosy and traditional, Guidance‐oriented, and Innovative. Distributed pedagogical leadership (DPL) was created as the theoretical basis from which organisational actions were examined. DPL implies that responsibility for students’ learning is shared by the whole personnel, through long‐term and systematic pedagogical practices. For this purpose, the management and leadership, curriculum, strategies, development…

2015
The article is devoted to a pending matter in the Latvian linguistics and methodology of language and literature – the formation of the system of terminology. The 90-ies of the 20th century when Latvia gained its national independence brought changes not only in the political and economic life but also in the terminology because new realities, which appeared in life, needed new names. Essential transformation in education brought along changes in the nomination system of the specific realities in the sphere.

Teaching English in Finnish upper secondary schools: How English is taught and what are the most effective ways of learning
2010
Tämän proseminaari-tutkielman tarkoituksena oli saada selville, millaisia opetusmenetelmiä opettajat käyttävät englannin tunneilla suomalaisissa lukioissa ja millainen opetus on oppilaiden mielestä hyödyllisintä englannin kielen oppimisessa. Lisäksi tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli vertailla oppilaiden ja opettajien vastauksia näihin kysymyksiin. Englannin kielen käyttö on lisääntynyt paljon lyhyessä ajassa globalisoituvan yhteiskunnan seurauksena, minkä vuoksi on tärkeää saada selville, onko suomalaisissa lukioissa annettu opetus nimenomaan oppilaiden mielestä höydyllistä ja tehokasta. Aihetta on tutkittu viimeksi Suomessa kaksikymmentä vuotta sitten ja tämän vuoksi uusi tutkimus oli tarpeel…
