Didactical Reconstructions in Knowledge Organization and Consolidation in Physics Teacher Education
2020
Physics teachers have an essential role in forming the attitudes and conceptions of future citizens towards science and technology, as well as in educating the future generations of scientists. Therefore, the physics teacher education must guarantee the best available education to pre-service physics teachers; sound knowledge of physics should be combined with a good understanding of the didactical and pedagogical aspects of teaching and learning. The situation is often that after university physics courses, the pre-service physics teachers’ knowledge is still quite fragmented and incoherent. They also often lack the concept formation perspective to physics knowledge. I discuss here a resea…

Supporting student teachers’ reflection through assessment : The case of reflective podcasts
2023
Reflection is a key learning objective of teacher education, yet little is known about the ways in which it could be supported through assessment. In this case study (N = 14), we examine the potential of a novel assessment task—reflective podcasting—in supporting first-year student teachers’ reflection. We analyzed student group podcasts and corresponding student reflections and found that the task engendered reflection. Three theory-driven dimensions were constructed to emphasize the unique nature of podcasts for student reflection: experientiality, authenticity, and communality. We encourage factoring these dimensions into assessment designs that seek to foster student reflection. peerRev…
Relationaalisen asiantuntijuuden rakentuminen varhaiskasvatuksen opettajankoulutuksen ohjatun harjoittelun diskursseissa
2021
Akateemisen koulutuksen ja työelämän välisen yhteistyön luomat mahdollisuudet asiantuntijuuden kehittymiselle ovat ajankohtaisen keskustelun kohteena. Varhaiskasvatuksen opiskelijoiden ohjattu harjoittelu on perinteinen koulutuksen ja työelämän yhteistyön muoto ja keskeinen opettajaopiskelijoiden oppimisen konteksti. Tutkimuksessamme tarkasteltiin varhaiskasvatuksen opiskelijoiden sekä päiväkodin ja yliopistokoulutuksen ohjaavien opettajien relationaalisen asiantuntijuuden rakentumisen mahdollisuuksia ohjatun harjoittelun yhteydessä. Tutkittavaa ilmiötä tarkasteltiin opiskelijoiden sekä päiväkodin ja koulutuksen ohjaavien opettajien itselleen ja muille tuotettujen positioiden sekä asiantunt…
Assessment conceptions of Finnish pre-service teachers
2022
The aim of this quantitative survey study (N = 287) was to investigate the assessment conceptions of three different pre-service teacher groups (classroom teachers, subject teachers and special needs teachers). Assessment conceptions were best described by the following three main factors: 1) assessment of learning, 2) assessment for teaching and learning and 3) assessment as a harmful action. These main factors were clustered into three assessment conception profiles – assessment-cautious, assessment-positive and assessment-critical. Pre-service special needs teachers showed more assessment-oriented conceptions emphasising both the assessment of learning and assessment for learning than th…

Health science student teachers’ perceptions of teacher competence:a qualitative study
2020
Background. Health science teacher competence is multifaceted and continuously changing according to national and international healthcare standards. Organizational restructuring and emphasis on cost effectiveness is changing the scope of health science teachers' practical work and their role in healthcare (worldwide). Aim. This study aimed to describe student teachers' perceptions of the competencies needed to work as an educator in the healthcare field. Objective of study was to gain new knowledge which can be used in the development of teacher education programs in nursing science and to define a broader definition of the health science educators. Methods. A qualitative study was conduct…
Virtual Reality in Education : Focus on the Role of Emotions and Physiological Reactivity
2019
Cognitive and emotional dimensions are often linked to each other in learning experiences. Moreover, emotions and engagement can lead to better outcomes at the cognitive level. Previous research has indicated that virtual reality (VR) provides a feeling of presence and immersion, which can trigger emotionally engaging learning situations. In this study, we explore the opportunities and challenges related to the use of VR in an educational context. The focus of this article is threefold: First, we explore interdisciplinary research literature related to the use of VR for educational purposes. Second, we introduce our VR pilot study in teacher education, applying three different kinds of VR a…
