The role of part-time special education supporting students with reading and spelling difficulties from grade 1 to grade 2 in Finland
2017
AbstractPrevious studies show that many students with reading and spelling problems have a lack of progress in reading and spelling skills after years of special education services. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reading and spelling skills of Finnish children in grades 1 and 2 receiving part-time special education from special education teachers for reading and spelling difficulties (RSD) and for RSD with other learning difficulties. In this study, the focus is in the roles of the form and the amount of part-time special education in reading and spelling skills development. Of 152 children involved in the study, 98 received part-time special education for RSD, and 54 did not have …
The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…
Supporting Acquisition of Spelling Skills in Different Orthographies Using an Empirically Validated Digital Learning Environment
2021
This paper discusses how the association learning principle works for supporting acquisition of basic spelling and reading skills using digital game-based learning environment with the Finland-based GraphoLearn (GL) technology. This program has been designed and validated to work with early readers of different alphabetic writing systems using repetition and reinforcing connections between spoken and written units. Initially GL was developed and found effective in training children at risk of reading disorders in Finland. Today GL training has been shown to support learning decoding skills among children independent of whether they face difficulties resulting from educational, social, or bi…
Transmission of knowledge in Venetian fourteenth-century chronicles
2017
The doctoral thesis analyzes eight Venetian chronicles written c. 1340–1390. It looks into the transmission of these texts by examining their mutual relationships and by reconstructing the textual tradition of individual works. The research was conducted by using the book historical method in which an individual volume is examined from the perspective of textual history, its physical features and ownership history to give a global view of its genesis and functions. The method combines textual criticism and comparative textual analysis with codicological and palaeographical research. The results show that Venetian fourteenth-century chronicles generally had a limited early circulation. This …
Pienryhmäohjaajien vertaisryhmä andragogisessa koulutuksessa
2014
Erilaisten yhteistyön muotojen, vuorovaikutuksen ja jakamisen merkitystä korostetaan tutkimuksissa, mutta opettajien ja ohjaajien kollegiaalisen tuen muotoja ei juurikaan edistetä rakenteellisin tai organisatorisin keinoin. Vertaistuki vahvistaa ohjaajien työssä kehittymistä ja jaksamista sekä koulutuksen kehittämistä.
Kirjallisuuden(tutkimuksen) kuvitteluvoima
2017
Amerikkalaisen Neal Stephensonin post-apokalyptinen romaani seveneves (2015) alkaa tehokkaasti toteamalla, että kuu on räjähtänyt varoittamatta ja ilman selvää syytä. Melkein 900-sivuisessa romaanissa kuvataan erilaisia strategioita ja yrityksiä selvitä räjähdyksestä, joka merkitsee maapallon tuhoa ja kaiken elämän päättymistä. Romaanin kolmas osa alkaa sanoilla ”Five thousand years later.” Virkkeeseen tiivistyy monta asiaa. Tämä ilmoitus, ”viisi tuhatta vuotta myöhemmin”, ei kerro pelkästään kirjallisuuden kyvystä hypätä ajallisesti ja tilallisesti toisiin maailmoihin ja todellisuuksiin. Se kertoo myös siitä, että kirjallisuudessa ja taiteissa voidaan kuvitella tulevaisuuksia myös tilantei…
