Acceptability of the e-authentication in higher education studies: views of students with special educational needs and disabilities

2021

AbstractTrust-based e-assessment systems are increasingly important in the digital age for both academic institutions and students, including students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Recent literature indicates a growing number of studies about e-authentication and authorship verification for quality assurance with more flexible modes of assessment. Yet understanding the acceptability of e-authentication systems among SEND students is underexplored. This study examines SEND students’ views about the use of e-authentication systems, including perceived advantages and disadvantages of new technology-enhanced assessment. This study aims to shed light on this area by exa…

Queer-luenta etelävaltioiden groteskeista henkilöhahmoista Truman Capoten romaanissa Other Voices, Other Rooms

2014

Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan etelävaltioiden kirjallisuuden groteskia hahmoa eli Southern grotesque -tyyppihahmoa Truman Capoten romaanissa Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). Teoksen neljää eri henkilöhahmoa analysoidaan sekä queer-teorian avulla että suhteessa etelävaltioiden goottilaisen romaanin traditioon. Työ etenee kirjallisen henkilöhahmon määrittelyn kautta Southern grotesque -hahmon erityispiirteisiin ja siitä tehtyihin tulkintoihin. Etelävaltioiden groteskeja hahmoja, joiksi myös Other Voices, Other Roomsin hahmot on luokiteltu, on pidetty perinteisten määritelmien mukaan esimerkiksi epäluonnollisina, rumina ja perversseinä, ja niiden funktioksi on nähty naurun tai pelon herättäminen…

Live free or die motionless : Walking the migrant path from Italy to France

2018

This essay and the photographs examine visual traces of irregular mobility in the border landscape between Italy and France. The ruined buildings and objects witness decades of movement of undocumented people on this old migrant path across the mountains. By taking the theoretical concept of multidirectional memory (Rothberg 2009) the essay argues that the Path of Hope can be thought of as a memory site through which the issues of migration in contemporary Europe can be seen in a more sustainable light. The ruins and discarded objects link memories of different places – including different border zones – in ways that allow us to critically examine borders as a practice – rather than as exis…

Views from the Inside: Roles of Deputy Directors in Early Childhood Education in Finland

2021

This study explored the perceptions of deputy directors about their leadership in Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres in Finland. Our aim was to look beyond task distribution and understand how deputy directors enacted leadership with their colleagues. Six deputy directors employed in one municipality in Finland participated in this study. Interviewed individually, the participants discussed how they themselves perceived being in a leadership position and what their leadership looked like in practice. The emphasis they placed on the various relationships highlight the importance of paying attention to the relational dynamics amongst staff within a centre, taking into account both formal…

How accurate are teachers and support specialists when judging students' literacy skills? Special educational service as an external factor influenci…

2022

The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy of Estonian teachers' and support specialists' judgements of students' spelling skills and reading fluency and to investigate the provision of special education services to students as a factor influencing teachers' judgements. The sample included 11 classroom teachers, 8 support specialists, and 187 third-grade students. The judgements were collected using scales, and students' literacy skills were assessed using group and individual tests. The results indicated that judgements of reading fluency were less accurate than those of spelling skills. In addition, the provision of special education services influenced teachers' judgements, directi…

Physical activity history and end-of-life hospital and long-term care

2009

Background: Little is known about the early predictors of need for care in late life. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physical activity from midlife onward was associated with hospital and long-term care in the last year of life. Methods: We studied a decedent population of 846 persons aged 66–98 years at death, who, on average 5.8 years prior to death, had participated in an interview about their current and earlier physical activity. Data on the use of care in the last year of life are register-based data and complete. Results: Men needed on average 96 days (SD 7.0) and women 138 days (SD 6.2) of inpatient care in the last year of life. Among men, the risk for all-cau…
