Representation of Children’s Views in Finnish Newspaper Media Across Three Decades
2020
As the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, it is relevant to explore how understandings of children’s rights have appeared during these three decades. As a key public actor in society, the media provides an interesting field in which to study the salience of children’s rights in societal and public discussions. Thus, in this article, we examine how children’s views are represented in «Helsingin Sanomat», the main national newspaper of Finland, in 1997, 2007, and 2017. This examination is based on articles 12 and 13 of the UNCRC, where it is stated that children have the right to express themselves in all matters affecting them. …

From needs to competencies : a case study on the integration of a rights based approach into NGO practises
2010
The objective of this qualitative case study is to provide knowledge on the possibilities of incorporating a rights based approach (RBA) into practises of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the context of development and children. The study is confined to examine the possibilities of RBA in realising children’s rights within the child sponsorship programme (CSP) of a Finnish NGO, Fida International (Fida), and the conceptualisation of the child in regard to different approaches. The theoretical framework is built on contemporary development discourse concerning the approximation of human rights and development as well as the underlying reasons for the emergence of RBA as a contributio…
On Equal Terms? : On Implementing Infants’ Cultural Rights
2020
How can we implement infants’ cultural rights? Is there even reason to confer such rights to non-speaking children, or is it enough that we recognise slightly older children as culturally active individuals? Acknowledging children’s intellectual capacities and their right to be heard in matters that concern them are important threads in research on children and ideals of childrearing during the last hundred years. This development is parallel with the one leading from the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1923 to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The spirit of human rights that informs these documents cannot be underestimated. Yet reading the Convention carefully…

Lasten osallistumisen voimavarat : tutkimus Ipanoiden osallistumisesta
2006
Kiili selvitti 6–12-vuotiaiden lasten osallistumisen mahdollisuuksia ja rajoja tutkimalla jyväskyläläisen lapsiparlamentti Ipanoiden toimintaa lukuvuonna 2000–2001.Yleensä lapset ymmärretään kasvavina ja kehittyvinä tulevaisuuden ihmisinä. Tätä lapsikuvaa tutkitut lapset eli Ipanat ymmärsivät, mutta halusivat myös kritisoida. Tulevaisuusorientoitunut ajattelu rajoitti lasten toiminta- ja osallistumismahdollisuuksia. Sen mukaan lapsilla ei vielä ajateltu olevan riittävästi kykyä tai taitoa oman elinympäristönsä kehittämiseen. Tämä ei kuitenkaan vastannut kuvaa, jonka lapset haluavat itsestään välittää. Lapset käsittävät itsensä kasvavina ja kehittyvinä, mutta myös jo nyt tietävinä ja osaavin…
Konsultoivan varhaiserityisopettajan lapsikäsitys 2010-luvulla
2017
Tässä erityispedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin konsultoivien varhaiserityisopettajien lapsikäsityksiä 2010-luvulla. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisena konsultoivat varhaiserityisopettajat näkevät lapsen osana perhettä. Tutkimuksemme aineisto koostui 358 kyselylomakkeen vastauksesta, jotka oli kerätty erityislastentarhanopettajilta, joilla ei ole omaa lapsiryhmää. Tutkielman analyysimenetelmänä käytettiin aineistolähtöistä sisällönanalyysiä. Tutkimuksessa vastaajista käytettiin yhteneväisesti nimeä konsultoiva varhaiserityisopettaja. Konsultoivien varhaiserityisopettajien vastauksista löytyi kuusi käsitystä lapsesta: tuentarpeinen lapsi, vapaa-ajan lapsi, vä…
