Positioning children with special educational needs in early childhood education and care documents
2018
The article critically discusses the practice of describing children’s special educational needs (SEN) in early childhood education and care (ECEC) pedagogical documents. Documentation is understood as a form of governance. In current practice, documentation is extensively used in educational institutions. Even when the focus of documentation should be pedagogical, the descriptions of children’s SEN commonly describe a child’s individual deficits as a source of educational problems. In this study, we used discourse analysis to investigate how professionals position children and construct their SEN in pedagogical documents. The research data consisted of 143 documents on 29 Finnish children.…
Praca z uczniem o specjalnych potrzebach edukacyjnych - zawodowe przygotowanie studentów pedagogiki
2018
Wdrożenie założeń edukacji włączającej do polskiego systemu edukacji stało się faktem, szczególną rolę przypisano nauczycielom, gdyż ich kwalifikacje, kompetencje, cechy osobowościowe i doświadczenie zawodowe decydują o powodzeniu procesu dydaktyczno-edukacyjnego. Ważną kwestią jest ustalenie, w jaki sposób studenci pedagogiki - którzy będą pełnić funkcję nauczyciela, również w kształceniu integracyjnym - ocenią swoje przygotowanie zawodowe do pracy z uczniem o specjalnych potrzebach edukacyjnych. Badania empiryczne, które przeprowadzono w drodze wywiadu, objęły grupę 42 studentów II roku studiów magisterskich z następującymi specjalizacjami: wczesna edukacja szkolna z wychowaniem przedszko…

The role of part-time special education supporting students with reading and spelling difficulties from grade 1 to grade 2 in Finland
2018
Previous studies show that many students with reading and spelling problems have a lack of progress in reading and spelling skills after years of special education services. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reading and spelling skills of Finnish children in grades 1 and 2 receiving part-time special education from special education teachers for reading and spelling difficulties (RSD) and for RSD with other learning difficulties. In this study, the focus is in the roles of the form and the amount of part-time special education in reading and spelling skills development. Of 152 children involved in the study, 98 received part-time special education for RSD, and 54 did not have RSD and …
Transition to working life and benefits of education as experienced by the graduates of an international master's programme in sport management
2017
University graduates in today’s working life need various skills in addition to the subject specific knowledge of the academic discipline. There is need, for instance, for the ability to use, create and produce knowledge, integration of theory into practice and oral and written presentation skills. All of this challenges the contemporary higher education institutions to integrate these elements into the curriculum to meet the above-mentioned demands. The purpose of this study was to find out, how the graduates an international Master’s Programme in Sport Management have moved to working life and how the education meets its needs, as experienced by the graduates. The data was collected with …
Effects of High-Definition Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Applied Simultaneously to Both Primary Motor Cortices on Bimanual Sensorimo…
2017
Many daily activities, such as tying one’s shoe laces, opening a jar of jam or performing a free throw in basketball, require the skillful coordinated use of both hands. Even though the non-invasive method of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been repeatedly shown to improve unimanual motor performance, little is known about its effects on bimanual motor performance. More knowledge about how tDCS may improve bimanual behavior would be relevant to motor recovery, e.g., in persons with bilateral impairment of hand function. We therefore examined the impact of high-definition anodal tDCS (HD-atDCS) on the performance of a bimanual sequential sensorimotor task. Thirty-two volun…
One Does Not Fit All: European Study Shows Significant Differences in Value-Priorities in Clean Sport
2021
Doping violates the Spirit of Sport and is thought to contradict the values which underpin this spirit. Values-based education (VBE) has been cited as a key element for creating a clean sport culture across age groups. Culturally relevant VBE requires understanding of the values that motivate athletes from different countries to practice their sport and uphold clean sport values. WADA's new International Standards for Education makes this study both needed and timely. Overall, 1,225 athletes from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, and the UK responded to measures assessing their general values, Spirit of Sport values, and their perceived importance of "clean sport". MaxDiff analysis identified…
Applying health promoting sports club standards in the Netherlands
2014
This study explores health promotion activity of Dutch sports clubs by using the Health Promoting Sports Clubs (HPSC) standards, which are developed in Finland and here applied to the Dutch sports context. The standards consist of 23 items which cover different perspectives on health promotion. The standards form an overall HPSC index, which is used to create health promotion profiles for the sports clubs. 17 sports clubs from the municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch participated in this study, of which 42 club officials (1-6 per club) evaluated their own club on all HPSC standards on a five-point Likert scale. Per club, the average score on each standard was calculated. The average on the HPSC…
Edukacja zrównoważonego rozwoju wobec wyzwań społeczeństwa XXI wieku
2017
Idea zrównoważonego rozwoju w dobie permanentnego postępu technologicznego i cywilizacyjnego z jednej strony i braku poszanowania środowiska naturalnego z drugiej powoduje, że edukacja młodego pokolenia w XXI wieku ma szczególną rolę do spełnienia. Edukacja na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju, aby osiągnęła zamierzony efekt, potrzebuje holistycznego rozumienia środowiska jako układu stosunków ekologicznych, ekonomicznych i społeczno-kulturowych, w otoczeniu których egzystuje młody człowiek-uczeń. W opracowaniu wskazano zadania dla nauczycieli, którzy mają prowadzić świadomą edukację zgodnie z ideą zrównoważonego rozwoju. Dokonano również analizy podstawy programowej obowiązującej w różnych typa…
Commonalities between ENT Specialists and Oral Medicine Experts: Old HPV Diseases and New Oral HPV-Cancer along the Borders
2021
A human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is globally one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections of the mucous membranes (genital, anal and oral). Over the last decade, an increasing number of young patients have been infected due to the changes in sexual habits in the general population. The majority of the lesions are benign; however, substantial scientific evidence has suggested a role for the HPV family in the carcinogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is proposed that dentists, in addition to ENT specialists, should apply standardized management protocols in order to construct a well-defined pathway in terms of diagnosis, which is based on a PCR diagnostic t…
