Exploring pre-service special needs teachers’ assessment conceptions and assessment self-efficacy

2022

This survey study (N = 148) investigates the interrelationships between assessment conceptions, assessment self-efficacy, prior education, and teaching experience amongst Finnish pre-service special educational needs teachers (pre-service SENs). The results showed that assessment conceptions and assessment self-efficacy are intertwined. Assessment conceptions, prior studies, and teaching experience were clustered into three different pre-service SEN types: Assessment Positives, Assessment Cautious, and Assessment Criticals. Pre-service SENs with assessment-positive or assessment-cautious conceptions reported higher assessment self-efficacy than students with assessment-critical conceptions.…

Wartość informacji w systemie informacyjnym w ocenie jej jakości

2018

Celem artykułu jest ustalenie, w jakim zakresie i w jaki sposób należy dokonywać ewaluacji wartości informacji dostępnej w systemie informacyjnym podczas oceny jej jakości. Taka ocena, zwłaszcza dla systemów działających w Internecie, jest bezwzględnie konieczna z powodu nieustannego, bardzo szybkiego powiększania się dostępnych tam zasobów informacji, ponoszenia zbędnych kosztów ekonomicznych ich złej jakości oraz związanych z tym nowych, niekorzystnych zjawisk społecznych. Jakość informacji jest kategorią wielowymiarową i wymaga oceny bardzo wielu różnych atrybutów. Czy wśród konceptualnych modeli oceny jakości informacji są takie, które wymagają również dokonywania oceny wartości informa…

La diagnosi e suoi modelli

2015

«Esaminare accuratamente» coincide con la vera e propria osservazione e con l’uso degli strumenti, mentre «riconoscere» rimanda alla ricerca di corrispondenze tra quanto si è osservato e tutto ciò che costituisce il «sapere» dello psicodiagnosta (valutazione e conseguente decisione). Per tale motivo si può guardare alla diagnosi come processo «in fieri». La conoscenza psicodiagnostica è infatti una conoscenza «speciale» (Saraceni e Montesarchio, 1988), perché caratterizzata da scopi decisionali.

Toimijuus ja asiantuntijaksi kasvaminen monimediaisessa kielenopettamisessa

2011

This case study investigates the role of agency in the development of two students’ expertise during their participation in the year-long KOO-KIT program (Language Technology for Language Teachers) for pre-service language teachers at the Centre for Applied Language Studies of the University of Jyväskylä in the 2000s. The curriculum of the program was organized around project-based learning, with theoretical and pedagogical lessons and hands-on technology courses alternating with practical team work in web-based design. The data consist of the teachers’ observations and narrative assessments of the students’ performance, and the students’ self-reports during the one-year course. The finding…

Do testate amoebae communities recover in concordance with vegetation after restoration of drained peatlands?

2016

The environmental importance of peatlands has stimulated efforts to restore their specific ecosystem structure and functions. Monitoring and assessment of the ecological state of the peatland is fundamental in restoration programmes. Most studies have focused on the responses of vegetation and, to a lesser extent, on testate amoebae (TA). To our knowledge, none have investigated whether these two groups show concordance in the context of restoration of drained peatland. Here we assess community concordance between TA and vegetation in boreal peatlands belonging to four different land use management classes (natural, drained, restored 3–7 years ago, and restored 9–12 years ago). TA and veget…

Hands-feet wireless devices: Test-retest reliability and discriminant validity of motor measures in Parkinson's disease telemonitoring

2022

Background Telemonitoring, a branch of telemedicine, involves the use of technological tools to remotely detect clinical data and evaluate patients. Telemonitoring of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) should be performed using reliable and discriminant motor measures. Furthermore, the method of data collection and transmission, and the type of subjects suitable for telemonitoring must be well defined. Objective To analyze differences in patients with PD and healthy controls (HC) with the wearable inertial device SensHands-SensFeet (SH-SF), adopting a standardized acquisition mode, to verify if motor measures provided by SH-SF have a high discriminating capacity and high intraclass corr…

Life's Learning Path Towards Cross-disciplinary Competencies : An Assessment

2016

At the moment, the changes affecting school and education are topics of discussion more than ever before. The new core curriculum for basic education (2014) and digitalization of learning tools serve as major ignitors of discussion: nowadays information and communication technology reach the teacher and the pupil elsewhere, not just in the ICT class of the school - it moves wirelessly everywhere, backpacks and pockets too. The change in school and in education is not only the new introduction of premises, places or tools but also above all the updating of the teachers' professionality to correspond with today's ideas of good learning and of realizing the curriculum as a part of the pupil's …

Clinical reasoning and critical reflection in physiotherapists’ examinations of patients with low back pain in its early phase : a qualitative study …

2017

Aim: The aim of this study was to deepen the current understanding of physiotherapists’ decision-making process and more specifically, to investigate their reflections on their clinical reasoning when examining low back pain patients. Method: Data were collected in interviews with six physiotherapists, were the stimulated recall method was used. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed and then analysed by content analysis. Results: Physiotherapists critically analysed and reflected their choices and decisions in clinical reasoning with patient’s symptoms, onset of pain, clinical test choices and results. They stopped to consider the adequacy of tests for drawing conclusions and their…
