Models for the development of generic skills in Finnish higher education
2016
This article examines how Finnish universities and other higher education institutes have responded to the challenges posed by rapid changes in the world of work and societies all over Europe, particularly with reference to the development of generic skills. The data were collected by means of individual and group interviews at three Finnish higher education institutes, including two universities and one university of applied sciences. The interviews involved 63 persons in charge of management, development and teaching at these institutes. As a result of the qualitative data analysis, we distinguished four models to represent the development of generic skills, which we named (1) Specialist …
The role of positive atmosphere on learning generic skills in higher education - Experiences of physical education students
2022
The purpose of this study is to examine what kind of role does positive atmosphere play in learning generic skills. The study was carried out in the final year of Finnish physical education (PE) teacher education where teachers of this study module have developed their pedagogical practices for a long time to foster and maintain the positive learning atmosphere of the course. In this study the learning atmosphere was examined from the perspectives of students addressing the following research questions: (1) How do the students perceive and experience the constructed learning atmosphere? (2) What generic skills do PE students report to learn during the final year study module? (3) What kind …
Zero-Achievers Non-Progressing Studies in Finnish Open University : Three Preventive Factors
2021
Current education policy responds to changes and needs in working life by guiding individuals at different stages of working careers to develop their skills in the spirit of lifelong learning. More and more are applying with hope and enthusiasm to the Open University to strengthen their competence but are unable to get their studies completed. The article explores factors related to the non-progression of studies by students at the Open University in Finland. We call non-progressing students zero-achievers who enroll in studies but do not complete a single credit during the period of course. This research is a descriptive mixed methods study. The research data was collected by an online sur…
Rinnakkaisopetussuunnitelmasta yhteisöllisyyttä, osaamisen tunnistamista ja käytännön kokemusta yliopisto-opintojen ohessa
2022
Tässä artikkelissa kuvataan suomalaiselle koulutusjärjestelmälle vieraampaa toimintamuotoa, rinnakkaisopintosuunnitelmatoimintaa (extra-curricular activities). Toimintaa pilotoitiin Jyväskylän yliopistossa, jossa sen toteutusta seurattiin tutkimuksen avulla viisi vuotta. Kansainvälisten rinnakkaisopintosuunnitelmamallien mukaisesti suomalainen kokeilu perustui vapaaehtoistyön tekemiseen, mutta siihen kytkettiin mukaan ryhmäohjaus, joka tuki opiskelijan työskentelyä vapaaehtoistyöpaikassa ja auttoi opiskelijaa tunnistamaan kokeilun aikana kehittyvää osaamistaan. Pitkittäistutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin sekä haastatteluina että kyselylomakkeilla. Tulokset osoittavat, että rinnakkaisopintosuun…
Linguistic, Contextual, and Experiential Equivalence Issues in the Adaptation of a Performance-Based Assessment of Generic Skills in Higher Education
2022
This qualitative study investigated the various linguistic, contextual, and experiential equivalence issues embedded in a performance-based instrument aimed at assessing generic skills in higher education. A rigorous translation and adaptation process (American English to Finnish) was conducted on one instrument, namely Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA+) International. The data were obtained from cognitive laboratories (n = 13), with think-alouds and follow-up interviews conducted among Finnish undergraduate students. Content logs were created, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that linguistic and contextual equivalence issues were more prominent than experie…
