The development of teachers’ responses to challenging situations during interaction training
2014
The qualitative changes in teachers’ responses in challenging situations were analysed during a four-day Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET) course, which aimed at improving teachers’ interpersonal dynamics with pupils, parents and colleagues. The participants were 21 teachers from one elementary and 23 teachers from one secondary school attending a TET course in Finland. Qualitative abductive content analysis was used to classify the data. Frequencies based on this analysis were also looked at. After TET the teachers described the behaviour of their pupils and expressed their feelings and the actual consequences of that behaviour, instead of using generalized labels and subjective interpr…
Public Health Policy to Tackle Social Health Inequalities: A Balancing Act Between Competing Institutional Logics
2020
Kvale and colleagues examine the logics of Norwegian government initiatives to respond to social inequalities in health. Whereas the individualist logic favors bounded and specialized measures and organization, the collectivist logic favors broad approaches and organizational coordination. A content analysis of Norwegian health policy documents between 2003 and 2017 shows how such specialized and integrative measures and structures are alternately introduced and hence create a pattern of priorities to tackle public health challenges alternating between a collectivist and an individualist logic. They argue that reform of service coordination to tackle social inequalities in health requires a…

Maahanmuuttajien määrä Suomessa on kasvanut viimeisten kahden vuosikymmenen aikana merkittävästi. Tämä on vaikuttanut myös suomalaisten koulujen väestörakenteeseen ja sitä kautta opettajien työhön.

Comunicare la pandemia tra relazioni sociali, norme e vita familiare: un'analisi quali-quantitativa degli articoli Ansa durante il lockdown
2021
This paper presents the results of a double computer-assisted analysis of selected Ansa news agency texts during the domestic quarantine period (lockdown: 10 March 2020 - May 18 2020). More specifically, the research focuses on lexicon, concepts and interpretative sequences in the construction of three media metaphors: 1) “war-like and post-apocalyptic” (CBPA); 2) “segregationist and normative” (SN), 3) “reactive and participatory” (RP). Some aspects of the new social and family relations in the Covid Age thus emerge - also on the basis of the concept of ‘interactional anomie’.

2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää arvioijien näkemyksiä englannin kielen taidon arvioimiseen laadittujen näyttökriteerien käytettävyydestä hotellivirkailijan ja matkailun ohjelmapalvelujen ammattitutkinnoissa. Ilman ammatillista pätevyyttä pitkään työssä olleet aikuiset voivat hankkia ammattitutkinnon Suomessa osoittamalla ammattitaitonsa näyttötutkintojen avulla. Näyttöä vastaanottava oppilaitos laatii näyttökriteerit tutkinnon perusteissa määriteltyjen arviointikriteerien pohjalta. Tarkastelun kohteina tässä tutkimuksessa eivät ole vain arvioijien yleiset näkemykset näyttökriteerien käytöstä pitkällä aikavälillä, vaan myös heidän mielipiteensä hyödyllisistä ja hyödyttömistä kriteerei…
