The use of language in migrant stay-at-home parents’ process of integration : Experiences of inclusion and exclusion
2017
This paper examines the use of language and how it contributes to the experiences of inclusion and exclusion of recent migrant stay-at-home parents in Finland. The study shows how the use of language facilitates the integration process of newly arrived stay-at-home parents of migrant background and affects their experiences of social inclusion and/or exclusion. The study uses the translingual approach (Canagarajah, 2013) to shed light on the multilingual reality migrants are faced with in their new surroundings. The approach is ethnographic and the data is interpreted using data-driven conventional content analysis (Tuomi & Sarajärvi, 2009, pp. 108–113). The results suggest that English wor…
Oppilas joustavien tukitoimien keskiössä : kolmiportaisen tuen toteutuminen ja tukitoimien muotoutuminen oppilaan opintopolun aikana
2016
TIIVISTELMÄ Alatalo-Hussein, Tuula. 2016. Oppilas joustavien tukitoimien keskiössä. Kolmiportaisen tuen toteutuminen ja tukitoimien muodostuminen oppilaan opintopolun aikana. Erityispedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Kasvatustieteiden laitos. 95 sivua. Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa selvitän kolmiportaisen tuen toteutumista perusopetuksen alakoululla. Erityisesti perehdyn siihen kuinka tehostettu tuki on muotoutunut käytännössä yksittäisen oppilaan kohdalla. Kolmiportainen tuki muotoutui Opetushallituksen erityisopetuksen kehittämishankkeen mietinnön pohjalta kirjatun Erityisopetuksen strategian kautta. Kolmiportainen tuki pitää sisällään yleisen, tehostetun ja erityise…
Policy-practice gap in participation of students with disabilities in Ethiopia's formal vocational education programme
2017
In Ethiopia, individuals with disabilities have limited access to educational and vocational training opportunities due to environmental, attitudinal and institutional barriers. The overarching purpose of the study was to investigate the status of inclusiveness of relevant policy and legal instruments of the study countries and their practicality in vocational education programmes. The specific aims of the study were to: explore the extent to which the issue of special educational and training needs for persons with disabilities is addressed in the education and training policy of Ethiopia, specifically focusing on technical and vocational education and training (TVET); investigate prevaili…
Teachers’ views on differentiation in content and language integrated learning (CLIL): Perceptions, practices and challenges
2012
The present study investigates differentiation in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Finland. Specifically, this combination of a qualitative case study and quantitative survey examines (1) primary teachers’ perceptions of differentiation, (2) the differentiation methods specific to CLIL education the teachers use and (3) the challenges of differentiation they identify. The qualitative phase was conducted in a school which offers CLIL education also to pupils with special needs following the principles of inclusive education. The results revealed that the teachers (n = 51) perceived differentiation in somewhat different ways. In general, the teachers differentiated their CLI…
Yhdessä opettaen ja oppien : mitä opettajat kokivat oppineensa yhteisopetuksen aikana?
2014
Tämä tutkimus käsittelee yhteisopetuksen opettajille tarjoamia oppimismahdollisuuksia. Tutkimuskysymyksemme on: Mitä opettajat kokivat oppineensa yhteisopetuksen aikana? Opettajat kokevat oppilaiden yksilöllisten tarpeiden huomioonottamisen suurissa opetusryhmissä yhä haastavammaksi, mikä lisää opettajan työn kuormittavuutta. Tämän myötä opettajat ovat yhä kiinnostuneempia vertaistuesta ja opettajien välisen yhteistyön kehittämisestä. Yhteisopetus voi olla vastaus myös erityisopetusta koskeviin lakimuu-toksiin sekä inkluusion tavoitteeseen, jonka mukaan kaikkien oppilaiden tulisi saada opiskella samassa luokassa. Tutkimuksemme avulla pyrimme esittämään, miten yhteisopetus voi edesauttaa ope…
Superconductive and insulating inclusions for linear and non-linear conductivity equations
2015
We detect an inclusion with infinite conductivity from boundary measurements represented by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the conductivity equation. We use both the enclosure method and the probe method. We use the enclosure method to prove partial results when the underlying equation is the quasilinear $p$-Laplace equation. Further, we rigorously treat the forward problem for the partial differential equation $\operatorname{div}(\sigma\lvert\nabla u\rvert^{p-2}\nabla u)=0$ where the measurable conductivity $\sigma\colon\Omega\to[0,\infty]$ is zero or infinity in large sets and $1<p<\infty$.
A mixed-methods approach to developing an understanding of teachers’ attitudes and their enactment of inclusive education
2017
This research sought to develop an understanding of teachers’ attitudes, sense of self-efficacy and approach to enacting inclusive education in their classrooms in two diverse countries. A mixed-methods research design guided the data collection and analysis. This article focuses on how quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used sequentially and how the findings were finally merged to provide more comprehensive insight into different aspects of teachers’ sometimes contradictory attitudes and approaches to implementing inclusive education. The meta-inferences presented here indicate that merging measurements and meanings can shed light on how teachers’ attitudes and self-effi…
Hearing-impaired pupils in mainstream education in Finland: teachers’ experiences of inclusion and support
2017
Today, in Finland, the majority of hearing-impaired pupils attend regular schools. This is in line with inclusive policy. This study aims to investigate do these pupils receive support from teacher ...
Rasch Analysis of the Japanese Version of Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices Scale: Scale Unidimensionality
2020
This study aimed to examine the construct validity of the Japanese version of the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) scale. The sample consisted of 250 teachers in Japan. Rasch analysis was used to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. Results did not support the 18-item Japanese version of the TEIP scale as a unidimensional scale for measuring TEIP. However, they do support the final 14-item Japanese version of the TEIP scale as a unidimensional scale for measuring TEIP. Four items were removed from the original 18-item scale (items 12, 8, 5, and 3) for violation of the local independency assumption. No item with differential item functioning (DIF) was detected. On…
A comparative study on Saudi and Japanese in-service teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education and self-efficacy in inclusive practices
2021
Although providing equal educational opportunity for all children is the common goal for inclusive education around the world, the way of implementation is influenced by cultural, historical, and socioeconomic factors of each country. This study aims to compare Saudi and Japanese teachers’ attitudes and self-efficacy in inclusive education. Data were collected from 185 Saudi and 359 Japanese in-service teachers using a survey. Quantitative analysis revealed that there was no difference between Saudi and Japanese teachers’ attitudes towards including students with disabilities. The Japanese teachers’ overall self-efficacy was lower than that of the Saudi teachers, but this result was discuss…
