The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Cultural audit as a tool to increase employee involvement in small firms: a case study
2006
Employee involvement is a common goal for most companies. This research started when managers of a familyrun horticultural firm decided to increase employee commitment and improve organizational climate. To help them, we considered the possibility of developing a cultural audit, adapting the tool to the fact that it was a small family business. Therefore, this paper will firstly review the existing literature concerning organizational culture, specially which cultural characteristics should be more valuable to achieve employee commitment and involvement and how to run a cultural audit. Secondly, it will expose the design and implementation of a cultural audit at this company, through an exp…
User Involvement and Entrepreneurial Action
2007
Involving users in the innovation process is a subject of much research, experimentation, and debate. Less attention has been given to the limits to user involvement that ensue from specific organizational characteristics. This article explores barriers to the utilization of users’ input in two small companies developing interactive digital applications. We contrast our findings to earlier research involving large companies to identify features of entrepreneurial sensemaking and action that influence the utilization of users’ input. We find that the small companies follow a distinct action rationality, leading to rapid implementation of some user inputs, and defensiveness toward others. Bot…
Vanhempien osallisuuden kuvaukset perusopetuksen vuosiluokkien 1-6 oppimissuunnitelmissa ja HOJKS-asiakirjoissa
2020
Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan vanhempien osallisuuden kuvauksia perusopetuksen vuosiluokilla 1-6 laadituissa oppimisen ja koulunkäynnin tuen asiakirjoissa. Tutkimusaineiston muodostivat 38 oppimissuunnitelmaa sekä 45 HOJKS-asiakirjaa, jotka analysoitiin sisällönanalyysilla. Teorialähtöisen sisällönanalyysin pohjana oli Epsteinin osallisuutta kuvastava kuusiportainen malli, jonka pohjalta tuotettiin kuva vanhemmuuden osallisuuden sisällöistä asiakirjoissa. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa eriteltiin, millaisia merkityksiä vanhemmuus sai kuhunkin osallisuuden ulottuvuuteen sisältyvissä lausumissa. Tulokset osoittivat asiakirjoista löytyvän eniten mainintoja kodin ja koulun vuorovaikutuksesta sekä läh…
Vecāku iesaiste jaunu skolēnu/audzēkņu valodas apguvē
2017
Plaša un noderīga vārdu krājuma attīstība veicina gan lasītprasmi, gan palīdz skolēnam veiksmīgi iesaistīties sociālajā dzīvē. Turklāt sabiedrība bieži vien ir pārliecināta, ka pilnīgs un plašs vārdu krājums raksturo izglītotu un intelektuāli attīstītu personu. Noderīga un spēcīgi attīstīta vārdu krājuma izveide ir galvenais faktors valodas apguvei pamatlīmenī. Taču valodu skolotājiem bieži problēmas sagādā vispiemērotākās metodes izvēle, kas palīdzētu apgūt valodu un tās vārdu krājumu. Viena no visefektīvākajām pieejām, kuru var lietot valodas apguvē, ir vecāku iesaiste, tā kā vecāki ir bērnu pirmie tiešie skolotāji un ieņem ļoti nozīmīgu lomu viņu bērnu izglītības pamatu izveidē – jo īpaš…
Conflict between truthfulness and tact in parent–teacher conferences
2009
The purpose of this article is to explore how teachers’ and parents’ conversations are affected by their notions about truthfulness. The study is qualitative and draws on data from observations of parent–teacher conferences about pupils with special needs in a Norwegian lower secondary school and from interviews with participants. The findings show that teachers’ and parents’ conversations are constrained by positive talk, decency and silence and, especially when the pupil participates, they choose a careful point of view, gloss over it, and talk about what is OK and not unpleasant. Furthermore, teachers act communicatively in a strategic way. It is concluded that teachers and parents often…
Rural Children’s Perceptions of Parental Involvement in Their Education in Pakistan
2022
Drawing from focus group discussions, this study reports 40 school-aged children’s (12–14 years, boys and girls) perceptions of parental involvement in the context of a developing country with a collectivist culture. The results indicate that despite parental interference, adherence to local customs, poverty, and illiteracy, children felt encouraged by their parents through strategies that reinforced their motivation to continue their education. Extended families’ educated members can also compensate for parents being unable to support their children in learning. The study highlights the role of the socio-cultural context in understanding parental involvement. peerReviewed

How do parents help? : Parental involvement in children s learning of German as an A2-language
2010
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli saada selville kuinka kuudesluokkalaisten saksanopiskelijoiden vanhemmat auttavat lapsiaan saksan kotitehtävien teossa ja kokeisiin lukemisessa. Tutkimuksessa pohdittiin, kenen aloitteesta lapsia autetaan, mitä mieltä lapset ovat vanhempiensa avusta ja mistä syistä vanhemmat mahdollisesti eivät auta lapsiaan. Vanhempien lastensa koulunkäyntiin osallistumisen positiiviset vaikutukset on jo todistettu monessa tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa, mutta vanhempien osallistumista A-saksan lukijoiden opiskeluun ei juuri ole tutkittu. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin myös selvittämään voisiko vanhempien aktiivisuus/epäaktiivisuus vaikuttaa siihen, että saksaa opiskelevien koulu…
Protocol for a participatory survey to investigate the long-term effectiveness of adult psychiatric services (PSILEAPS) : a prospective exploratory c…
2022
Mental health research and practice is currently moving beyond a focus on group-level symptom reduction models. Hence, research and treatment increasingly emphasize the real-life individual needs of service users and their social networks. One example is the Open Dialogue approach (OD), which has demonstrated promising outcomes in the Finnish Western Lapland (WL) catchment area. Nevertheless, it is unclear how OD-based services have so far been maintained in WL. It is also unclear how the experiences of multi-disciplinary care teams, service users and their social network members differ, with regard to differing approaches to mental health treatment. More generally, there is a global need f…
