‘Because I point to myself as the hog’ : interactional achievement of moral decisions in a classroom
2016
Abstract Drawing on the conversation analytic and sociocultural perspectives, this study investigates children's situated moral negotiations in classroom peer interaction in the absence of a teacher. The conversation analytic methodology is used to operationalise some of the key elements of the sociocultural perspective on moral development. In this way, this study enables readers to observe and study the semiotic, conversational and interactional mediations of moral functioning in real life, with the example of children's moral practices. The empirical analysis is based on video-recorded sequences in which primary school children work with the rules of a counting rhyme which is banned by t…
iTunes U: sperimentare la flipped nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti
2017
La flipped classroom è un ribaltamento del tradizionale metodo didattico: ciò che veniva fatto in aula e a casa viene capovolto. Di fatto la flipped è una modalità blended che sfrutta tutte le potenzialità dei dispositivi mobili, le competenze e le attitudini delle nuove generazioni di studenti. Vi è uno spostamento dell’attenzione sullo studente, che è al centro del processo di insegnamento-apprendimento; di conseguenza il tempo in aula viene ripensato per esplorare gli argomenti in modo più approfondito e per creare opportunità di apprendimento più ricche. Il percorso di ricerca si articola in due fasi: la prima fase si è realizzata e conclusa nell’a.a. 2015-16 e la seconda fase si svolge…
Translanguaging as Playful Subversion of a Monolingual Norm in the Classroom
2018
A large part of the literature on translanguaging as a pedagogical theory has explored how an inclusive multilingual pedagogy can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to actively participate in the classroom. While much of this literature approaches classroom translanguaging as an instructional strategy designed to promote multilingual interactional practices, we analyse how multilingual practices can also take place as subversive language play in an educational context that is driven by a monolingual norm. Our data are video-recorded lessons from secondary-level Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in Finland in which students whose L1 is …
THE EMERGENCE OF OPEN SCHOOL EDUCATION: THE CASE OF OPEN DISCOVERY SPACE PORTAL
2014
Nowadays, open schooling is considered an education paradigm with increasing popularity, which focuses on the learners and offers more freedom in education outside of the physical and other types of barriers such as accessibility, flexibility, affordability and availability of teacher/tutors, classrooms, schools and educational institutions. The main elements that define Open Schooling are flexible learning, based on fully exploring the potential of ICT to improve education and training systems quality and efficiency, aligning them with the current trends on ICT in education, distant learning and life-long training. The aim of this paper is to present the current status of Open Schooling ma…
New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
Comparison of Classroom-Based Sedentary Time and Physical Activity in Conventional Classrooms and Open Learning Spaces Among Elementary School Studen…
2021
European children and adolescents spend most of their daily life and especially their school hours being sedentary which may increase their risk for chronic non-communicable diseases later in life. After the curriculum reform of Finnish basic education in 2014, most of the new or renovated comprehensive schools in Finland incorporate open and flexible classroom designs. Their open learning spaces may provide students opportunities to reduce sedentary behavior during school hours. Thus, waist-worn accelerometers were used to assess classroom-based sedentary time (ST), the number of breaks from sedentary time (BST), and physical activity (PA) among cross-sectional samples of 3rd and 5th grade…
TCM-ryhmänhallintamenetelmän käyttöönotto : laadullinen monitieteinen pilottitutkimus opettajien kokemuksista
2022
• Kun ryhmässä on esimerkiksi käyttäytymisellään reagoivia oppilaita, tarvitaan nopeaa puuttumista sekä moniammatillisen ja monitieteisen näkökulman hyödyntämistä. • TCM-ryhmänhallintamenetelmän tavoitteena on tukea oppilaan sosioemotionaalista kehitystä, parantaa opettajan ja oppilaan vuorovaikutusta sekä vahvistaa koulun ja kodin yhteistyötä. • Opettajan ryhmänhallintataidot heijastuvat myönteisesti kaikkiin luokan oppilaisiin. • Opettajan myönteinen viestintä koteihin voi edistää vuorovaikutusta ja helpottaa hankalien asioiden hoitoa. • TCM-menetelmän implementointi kouluyhteisöön vaatii tukea. • Kollegiaaliset kokemukset ja uudistuneet ryhmänhallintataidot vahvistavat opettajan työssä j…
A Validation Study of Classroom Assessment Scoring System-Secondary in the Finnish School Context
2018
This study examined the reliability and validity of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System–Secondary (CLASS-S) in Finnish classrooms. Trained observers coded classroom interactions based on video recordings of 46 Grade 6 classrooms (450 cycles). Concurrent associations were investigated with respect to teacher self-ratings (e.g., efficacy beliefs and teaching-related stress). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the hypothesized three-factor structure of the original CLASS-S (Emotional Support, Organizational Support, and Instructional Support), with some modifications, provided a better fit for the data compared with one- and two-factor structures. Structural validity was demonstrated…
