Evolution of scientific conceptions and knowledge among gymnasium pupils

2014

International audience; Two major models investigate the relationship between conceptions and knowledge: the KVP model of Clement and the structural model of Balacheff. In order to prove the necessity to shift the conceptions as claimed by Giordan’s allosteric model, it is important to study the evolution and the relationship between conceptions and knowledge. This research deals with the following questions: what sort of relationship can be established between conceptions and knowledge? What factor can make these two parameters evolve? This study was carried out on 45 pupils (two classrooms). It intended to collect conceptions and knowledge before and after science learning training. Indiv…

Understanding teaching professionals' digital competence : What do PIAAC and TALIS reveal about technology-related skills, attitudes, and knowledge?

2021

In an ever-evolving technological landscape that challenges teaching professionals' digital competence, this study complements previous studies by providing an overall picture of teaching professionals' digital competence. We employed regression models on two large-scale assessment data sets on teachers from 11 countries—namely, the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS; n = 50,800) and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC; n = 2590)—to investigate through the theoretical lens of digital competence how teaching professionals' skills, attitudes and knowledge distribute and relate, and how they are associated with personal and contextual fact…

Building coherence and impact : differences in Finnish school level curriculum making

2022

AbstractThe study aims to gain a better understanding on how curriculum making regulated by reform’s implementation strategy contributes to teachers’ and teacher communities perceived curriculum coherence, and further to the impact that reform has on school development. The two-level path modelling was utilised for analysing clustered data including the 75 schools and 1556 individual teachers from these schools during the most recent Finnish core curriculum reform. The results showed that the participatory strategy, including balancing the steering and transformative dialogue, seemed to be crucial both for promoting the individual teacher’s and professional communities’ shared capacity to p…

Research to engage voices on the ground in educational development

2014

The article discusses how a variety of qualitative methods could be used for investigating the engagement of the voices on the ground, where the change is expected to happen. It also reviews how qualitative research approaches involve students and teachers, the so-called “target groups” of educational development, as subjects, rather than objects. The qualitative methods are presented here for their potential in engaging the voices on the ground. Actor-centred inquiry and participatory action research consist of data collected, analysed and reported, in collaboration between researchers and the research subjects. Enabling the subjects as autonomous actors to take part in the analysis of the…

Kiinan suorittaman kybervakoilun aiheuttamat pitkäaikaiset haitat KIBS-yrityksille

2015

Tämä kandidaatintutkielma käsittelee Kiinan suorittaman kybervakoilun aihe- uttamia pitkäaikaisia haittoja KIBS-yrityksille. Tutkielma toteutettiin kirjalli- suuskatsauksena teorialähtöisesti. Tutkielma selvittää, millaisia haittoja Kiinan suorittama kybervakoilu aiheuttaa KIBS-yrityksille, sekä lisäksi sen, kuinka va- kavia nämä KIBS-yrityksille koituneet haitat ovat. Aihetta on tärkeä tutkia, sillä Kiinan suorittamasta kybervakoilusta on saatu todisteita. Lisäksi kybervakoilusta koituvien haittojen on arvioitu olevan nousussa. Aihetta ei ole aiemmin tutkittu riittävästi, sillä sitä on hankala tutkia, koska yritykset eivät monesti tahdo tuoda julkisuuteen joutuneensa k…

Human disturbance on Polylepis mountain forests in Peruvian Andes

2014

Vuoristot kattavat 20–25 % maapallon pinta-alasta ja niiden alueella kasvaa noin 28 % maapallon metsistä. Vuoristometsät ovat monella tapaa arvokkaita: ne tarjoavat useita ekosysteemipalveluita ja raaka-aineita sekä sisältävät suuren määrän elinympäristöjä ja eliölajeja. Ne ovat kuitenkin myös erittäin haavoittuvaisia. Resurssien optimoimiseksi tutkijat ovat nimenneet maapallolta hotspot-alueita, joilla esiintyy suuri määrä endeemisiä ja uhanalaisia lajeja. Ihmistoiminta vaikuttaa ekosysteemien luonnolliseen tilaan ollen merkittävä uhka hotspot-alueiden lajeille. Lisäksi ekosysteemin pirstaleisuus, laikun koko ja reunavaikutukset voivat vaikuttaa alueen lajirunsauteen ja sukupuuttovauhtiin.…

L’éducation au plurilinguisme dès l’enfance : des réalités aux moyens d’agir (Maghreb, particulièrement l’Algérie)

2017

Ce que nous apprend la psycholinguistique, en particulier les chercheurs qui œuvrent sur plusieurs langues et dans une perspective interculturelle, c’est le caractère essentiel des premières acquisitions : non seulement le langage à travers la langue 1, mais avec langage par la langue 1, les fondamentaux de la pensée, concepts-cadres et relations.Nous constatons que l’école exerce ensuite un passage brutal en langue de scolarisation, et refuse la langue1 ; pourtant celle-ci pourrait jouer l’indispensable rôle de transition (1re année primaire, par ex.) afin de relier les premières acquisitions socio-cognitives et langagières avec les apprentissages scolaires. What psycholinguistics teaches …
