Image classification based on 2D feature motifs
2013
The classification of raw data often involves the problem of selecting the appropriate set of features to represent the input data. In general, various features can be extracted from the input dataset, but only some of them are actually relevant for the classification process. Since relevant features are often unknown in real-world problems, many candidate features are usually introduced. This degrades both the speed and the predictive accuracy of the classifier due to the presence of redundancy in the candidate feature set. In this paper, we study the capability of a special class of motifs previously introduced in the literature, i.e. 2D irredundant motifs, when they are exploited as feat…
Vie périurbaine et mobilités quotidiennes, une double contrainte source de difficultés socio-économiques pour les personnes modestes et âgées
2020
Dans les territoires périurbains, la mobilité et l’automobilité sont indissociables autant qu’indispensables, tant pour les travailleurs transformés en « navetteurs » que pour des populations vieillissantes qui risquent l’isolement et la dépendance. Pourtant, les contraintes économiques des uns et l’impossible mobilité des autres, parfois même au sein de leur logement, rendent leur situation très complexe et les mènent vers une vulnérabilité certaine. À partir de sources et matériaux qualitatifs, ces éléments seront présentés et discutés à travers l’examen, dans de multiples espaces périurbains bourguignons, de la situation de pavillonnaires modestes puis de personnes âgées de moins en moin…

Approaching pedagogical language knowledge through student teachers: assessment of second language writing
2015
The article examines student teachers' pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis is based on data from an applied task in which Finnish student teachers (n = 221) of 16 school subjects assessed second language (SL) learners' writing skills. First, we briefly discuss subject teachers' role in language and literacy teaching in the multilingual and multicultural classroom. Our findings indicate that the student teachers use a range of criteria but focus mainly on word-level assessment when assessing writing samples, and that their assessment orientation varies from technical to analytical. Finally, we discuss the challenges of developing teacher education to promote pedagogical language kno…
Constructing a pedagogical practice across disciplines in pre-service teacher education
2019
In this paper we report a qualitative case study of a teaching intervention in which a pre-service subject teacher pair planned and conducted a course integrating Finnish language and ethics in a multilingual setting. Audio-recorded planning sessions and interviews including learning diaries were analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify the dynamics of collaborative cross-curricular pedagogical practice development and pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis revealed tensions in crossing the boundary between language and content knowledge. The study suggests that when creating cross-curricular practices, student teachers benefit from longer-term processes and theory-base…
Kielitietoinen aineenopetus opettajankoulutuksessa
2016
This article discusses language sensitive teacher education across the curriculum. First, we briefly discuss the importance of language sensitive teaching and take a look at studies on linguistically responsive teaching and teacher education. The results of the empirical part are based on data from a questionnaire and an applied task in which student subject teachers (n=221) assessed second language learners’ writing skills and challenges of studying specific school subjects from learner’s proficiency perspective. We also report tentative results on the negotiation of language in a teaching intervention which integrates language and content. Our findings indicate that the student teachers a…
Adapting to Teaching in the 21st Century: Helping Teachers to Understand the Pedagogical Content in using Tablets as Learning Tools
2015
The world of knowledge and communication has changed after smart phones and tablets became tools available for everybody. Children are already online on their free time, but at school devices such as smart phones and tablets are not in everyday learning use. In today’s visions of the future school are strongly concentrated on the learning environments and learning methods that emphasizes the role of ICT. The visions are already here and it is possible to bring the future way of learning in to everyday schooling but the focus is on teachers ICT skills and knowledge. Teachers are in a key role in changing the way pupils learn. It is crucial to educate teachers to become experts in ICT-skills …
Factors explaining the learning of generic skills : a study of university students’ experiences
2019
Although generic skills have received widespread attention from both policymakers and educationalists, little is known regarding how students acquire these skills, or how they should best be taught. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify what kinds of pedagogical practices are behind the learning of eight particular generic skills. The data were collected from university students (N = 163, n = 123) via Internet questionnaires. The findings from regression analyses showed that teaching practices involving collaboration and interaction as well as features of a constructivist learning environment and integrative pedagogy predicted the learning of generic skills – such as decision-making …
