The roles of teacher–student relationship quality and self-concept of ability in adolescents’ achievement emotions: temperament as a moderator
2020
AbstractThis study examined to what extent teacher–student conflict and closeness, on the one hand, and students’ self-concepts of ability in literacy and mathematics, on the other, are related to students’ achievement emotions (enjoyment, anxiety and boredom) in mathematics and literacy among Finnish early adolescents (N = 854). We also investigated the extent to which these associations are moderated by student temperament (surgency/extraversion, negative affectivity and effortful control). The results showed, after accounting for relevant covariates, that in both school subjects, teacher–student conflict was negatively related to enjoyment and positively to anxiety and boredom, whereas t…
Teacher-Student Relations in Two Tibetan Buddhist Groups in Helsinki
2017
AbstractBased on sixteen interviews with members of two Tibetan Buddhist groups in Helsinki, Finland, this article investigates how the role of the guru, power imbalance and power abuse are perceived by the students. This qualitative study aims at understanding what shape the reverence to the Vajrayana teacher takes in the egalitarian environment of a European country, where Buddhism is a relatively new phenomenon. The interviews show that while teachers are not losing importance, ways of choosing and paying respect to them changes. They also reveal confusion in defining abuse, and emphasis on personal agency and teachers’ accountability for avoiding it.
"Milloin sinä otat itseäsi niskasta kiinni?" : opettajien kokemuksia alisuoriutujista
2003
Marita Kontoniemi on tutkinut opettajien kokemuksia koulujen alisuoriutujista. Heitä on arvioitu olevan jopa viidennes oppilaista, poikia valtaosa. Alisuoriutujat ovat heikon koulumenestyksensä vuoksi syrjäytymisvaarassa. Mitä tällaisen oppilaan opettaminen merkitsee opettajalle? Onko kyseessä arvojen yhteen törmääminen, valtataistelu vai persoonallisuuksien yhteen sopimattomuus? Onko ongelma didaktinen eriyttämis- ja motivointiasia? Vai onko alisuoriutuminen yhteiskunnallisten muutosten heijastuma, jolle opettaja tai koulu ei voi mitään? Kuinka opettaja sitten jaksaa elää arkipäivää ongelmien kanssa, jos niille ei ole mitään tehtävissä, kysyy Kontoniemi.- Opettajien työyhteisön ilmapiiriin…
Teacher and student teacher views of agency in feedback
2022
The present study compares the feedback themes that groups of teachers (n = 5) and student teachers (n = 15) discussed in a professional development programme concerning teachers’ classroom interaction and formative assessment, and the agents they assigned the feedback to. The results of the thematic analysis show little variation with the conversation themes between the groups, but they did show more with the appointed agents of feedback themes. The teachers assigned feedback themes to the teacher and the students, as student teachers assigned them to the teacher and the learning environment. By referring to feedback as the shared responsibility of the teacher and students, the teachers de…
“Can do!” Teacher Promotion of Optimism in Response to Student Failure Expectation Expressions in Classroom Discourse
2019
This study offers detailed observational analyses of how teachers use optimism as an instructional resource when responding to students’ failure expectation displays in classroom situations. The results were based on video-recordings of 25 lessons in two Finnish part-time special education settings, analysed by means of applied conversation analysis. The results showed that the teachers boosted optimism by inverting students’ negative utterances, giving examples of successful experiences of peers, offering praise for students’ earlier performance or focusing on problems through instructional support. The study underlines the importance of addressing and elaborating students’ negative learni…
Oppilaiden näkemyksiä luonnontieteiden opettajan auktoriteetistä
2019
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin oppilaiden näkemyksiä luonnontieteiden opettajan auktoriteetista, sen muodostumisesta ja kehittämisestä. Tutkimus pohjautuu fenomenologis-hermeneuttisen tutkimuksen piirteisiin. Oppilaiden (N = 25) näkemyksiä selvitettiin kyselytutkimuksen avulla ja tutkimusaineisto analysoitiin sekä tilastollisen analyysin että aineistolähtöisen sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tulosten perusteella auktoriteetti liitettiin osaksi opettajan persoonaa ja asiantuntijuutta. Osaltaan auktoriteetin katsottiin tarkoittavan myös vuorovaikutussuhdetta, jossa opettajalla on oppilasta enemmän valtaa. Auktoriteetin koettiin muodostuvan vuorovaikutussuhteessa, jossa merkittäviä tekijöitä oliv…
Elementary School Teachers' Experiences of Implementing the Teacher Classroom Management Method - Case Study in Finland
2023
The diversity of pupils and their different difficulties challenge teachers' skills and methods in teaching. Some behavioral challenges require rapid intervention and a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach from the teachers. An internationally recognized tool, TCM (Teacher Classroom Management), aims to support pupils' socio-emotional development, improve teacher-pupil interaction, and strengthen school-home cooperation. This pilot study examines teachers' experiences of TCM in Finnish primary school context. The study is qualitative, and the data (N=16) was collected through focus group interviews. According to the results, the teacher's strengthened group management skills wer…
Different student-strategies for interactional power in the IRF pattern in an EFL classroom

Teacher smiles as an interactional and pedagogical resource in the classroom
2020
In classroom settings, laughter and smiles are resources for action that are available to both teachers and students. Recent interactional studies have documented how students use these resources to deal with trouble of various kind, but less is known about the sequential and activity contexts of teachers’ laughter-relevant practices, as well as their pedagogical functions. We use multimodal conversation analysis (CA) to investigate the interactional unfolding and pedagogical orientations of teacher smiles during instructional IRE (initiation-response-evaluation) sequences in a corpus of 37 bilingual lessons collected in schools in Finland and Spain. In analysing the focal smiles, we pay at…
Child-Centered and Teacher-Directed Practices in Two Different Countries: A Descriptive Case Study in Finnish and Japanese Grade 1 Classrooms
2023
This descriptive case study examined how teaching practices were evidenced in Grade 1 classrooms in two different cultural and educational contexts, Finland and Japan. Teachers’ teaching practices were video-recorded in 53 classrooms in Finland and six classrooms in Japan and rated with the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure by trained investigators. Four Finnish teachers and two Japanese teachers having the highest scores in either child-centered or teacher-directed practices were selected for a descriptive case study to take a closer look at how teaching practices in terms of management, climate, and instruction are evidenced in authentic classroom situations. The analysis reve…
