Time to care? Temporal variations of agency of the Finnish adult foster carers.
2020
This article analyses a hybrid form of housing and care service for older people called adult foster care. In Finnish adult foster care model, an older person moves to a foster care home and is cared for by a semi-professional foster carer who is not related to them. A foster care home is thus simultaneously a personal dwelling and a site of intensive care work which also changes the rhythms and routines of both the foster carer and older person. In the article I ask, how do foster carers express their temporal agency and its variations (identity, pragmatic, life course) through time work? By temporal agency I mean individuals' ability to impact on their experience of time, which is done th…
Parental Involvement or Interference? : Rural Teachers’ Perceptions
2021
This research explored rural state school teachers’ perceptions concerning parental involvement in children’s education in a developing country context.

In line with this, teachers frequently held negative perceptions regarding children’s parents, and these perceptions have the po…
PSRS aktuālo notikumu atspoguļojums karikatūrās žurnālā “Dadzis” un “Krokodil” 1985.-1989.g.
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “PSRS aktuālo notikumu atspoguļojums karikatūrās žurnālos “Dadzis” un “Крокодил” 1985. g.-1989. g.”. Lai apskatītu pēdējo PSRS piecgadi, pētnieki izmanto lielākoties tādus rakstiskos avotus kā dokumentus, rakstus. Daži pētnieki izklāsta notikumus pēc tā laikā dzīvojošo personu vēstījumiem, piemēram, pēc politiķu vai diplomātu stāstītā. Arī vizuālie avoti tiek izmantoti 20. gs. beigām veltītos vēsturiskajos pētījumos. Starp vizuāliem avotiem vairāk izmantotas fotogrāfijas un videomateriāli, bet ne karikatūras. Tāpēc bija aktuāli izpētīt PSRS 20. gs. 80. g. beigu notikumus tieši karikatūrās nozīmīgākajos valsts satīriskajos izdevumos. Darbā tiek pētītas žurnālu “Dadzis…

Rationalising public support for private early childhood education and care: the case of Finland
2019
In Finland, early childhood education and care (ECEC) is traditionally publicly provided. However, private ECEC provision has increased during the past decade, largely as a result of financial support from the public sector. Drawing on qualitative interviews with municipal decision-makers, this article identifies three frames within which publicly subsidised private ECEC provision and marketisation are rationalised: the pragmatic frame, the government frame and the choice frame. The results show that even though market logics and tendencies seem to have gained a strong foothold in local policies, there is a keen interest in universalism and maintaining public control over local ECEC provisi…

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…
Recording Support Measures in the Sequential Pedagogical Documents of Children With Special Education Needs
2019
This study investigates the descriptions of support measures in the sequential pedagogical documents (individual education plans or programs and others) of children with special education needs from early childhood education and care to preprimary education. According to the previous research, the role of pedagogical work is largely disregarded in these documents, which typically focus on describing children’s challenges instead of support measures. In this study, the sequential pedagogical documents ( N = 257) of 64 Finnish children were studied for approximately 3 to 6 years, and the data were analyzed by investigating the textual and content-related coherence, as well as the linguistic …
