Rethinking children’s physical activity interventions at school: A new context-specific approach
2023
Physical activity is important for children’s health. However, evidence suggests that many children and adults do not meet international physical activity recommendations. Current school-based interventions have had limited effect on physical activity and alternative approaches are needed. Context, which includes school setting, ethos, staff, and sociodemographic factors, is a key and largely ignored contributing factor to school-based physical activity intervention effectiveness, impacting in several interacting ways.ConceptualizationCurrent programs focus on tightly-constructed content that ignores the context in which the program will be delivered, thereby limiting effectiveness. We prop…

Kuka pelkää ruotsinopetusta? Täydennyskoulutus tukee ruotsin oppimista ja opetusta alakoulussa
2017
Ruotsin kielen opetus siirtyi alkamaan 6. luokalta uuden perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman myötä. Keskustelua ovat aiheuttaneet esimerkiksi tuntijako, opettajien kielitaito ja ruotsin opetuksen pedagogiikka alakoulussa. Artikkelissa käsitellään Aikuis- ja täydennyskoulutuspalvelut AIKOPAn järjestämää opettajien täydennyskoulutusta, jossa pyrittiin parantamaan ruotsia opettavien aineenhallintaa ja pedagogista osaamista. Tulokset olivat positiivisia, ja täydennyskoulutukselle on selkeästi tilausta jatkossakin. nonPeerReviewed
Bridging the gap between research and practice : using phenomenographic findings to develop training for career practitioners
2021
AbstractThis study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education and training for career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, the study reviews previous research on its potential in developing pedagogical practices. It explores how the phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills training programme for career practitioners. The study finds that phenomenographic research serves three practical pedagogical purposes: (1) revealing how learners understand certain concepts or phenomena, (2) elucidating how these understandings differ; and (3) identifying critical aspects i…
Building a Maturity Model for Developing Ethically Aligned AI Systems
2021
Ethical concerns related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) equipped systems are prompting demands for ethical AI from all directions. As a response, in recent years public bodies, governments, and companies have rushed to provide guidelines and principles for how AI-based systems are designed and used ethically. We have learned, however, that high-level principles and ethical guidelines cannot be easily converted into actionable advice for industrial organizations that develop AI-based information systems. Maturity models are commonly used in software and systems development companies as a roadmap for improving the performance. We argue that they could also be applied in the context of develo…
Pedagogisen johtajuuden tukeminen varhaiskasvatuksessa : varhaiskasvatusyksikön johtajien näkemyksiä Deep Talk - työyhteisön kehittämismenetelmästä
2016
Mesiäislehto, Eveliina. 2016. Pedagogisen johtajuuden tukeminen varhaiskasvatuksessa – Varhaiskasvatusyksikön johtajien näkemyksiä Deep Talk - työyhteisön kehittämismenetelmästä. Varhaiskasvatustieteen pro gradu - tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Kasvatustieteiden laitos. 62 sivua. Varhaiskasvatusyksikön johtajien työmäärä on lisääntynyt merkittävästi yksiköiden koon kasvamisen ja erilaisten organisaatiomuutosten takia. Johtajilla ei enää välttämättä ole vastuuta lapsiryhmästä, vaan vastuu keskittyy yksikön henkilöstöön. Näin ollen pedagogiikan johtamisen rinnalla tulee puhua pedagogisesta johtajuudesta. Arvot toimivat sekä pedagogisen johtajuuden että uudenlaisen työyhteisön kehittämismene…
Drivers, barriers and impacts of digitalisation in rural areas from the viewpoint of experts
2022
Abstract Context: The domain of rural areas, including rural communities, agriculture, and forestry, is going through a process of deep digital transformation. Digitalisation can have positive impacts on sustainability in terms of greater environmental control, and community prosperity. At the same time, it can also have disruptive effects, with the marginalisation of actors that cannot cope with the change. When developing a novel system for rural areas, requirements engineers should carefully consider the specific socio-economic characteristics of the domain, so that potential positive effects can be maximised, while mitigating negative impacts. Objective: The goal of this paper is to sup…
How do community development activities affect the construction of rural places? : A case study from Finland
2019
Community‐based development practices have been seen as the prevailing paradigm for rural development. Rural community development practices are employed especially through local non‐governmental organisations, such as village associations, to ensure that rural communities are vital and attractive places to live. In this article, we explore how community development practices affect and shape rural places. The data were collected in three Finnish villages that each have an active village association and that have adopted community development practices as their method of keeping their village viable. According to the results of our study, the impacts of community practices on rural places c…
Peer-group mentoring as a tool for teacher development
2014
Abstract: Peer-group mentoring (PGM) is a new model designed to support the professional development of teachers in Finland. This study examines the experiences of mentees participating in PGM and potential differences in the experiences of teachers in general education and vocational education. It also addresses the mentees perceptions of the results of PGM with regard to the professional, personal and social dimensions of professional development. Quantitative research methods were used. An online survey was completed by 69 teachers in general education and 47 teachers in vocational education (n = 116). The results showed that the participants saw PGM as an important tool for professional…
Learning and organizational change in SPI initiatives
2009
Explaining how organizations chance has been a central and enduring quest of management scholars and many other disciplines. In order to be successful change requires not only a new process or technology but also the engagement and participation of the people involved. In this vein the change process results in new behavior and is routinized in practical daily business life of the company. Change management provides a framework for managing the human side of these changes. In this article we present a literature review on the change management in the context of Software Process Improvement. The tra- ditional view of learning, as a “lessons learned” or post-mortem reporting activity is often…
