Student teachers’ types of probing questions in inquiry-based mathematics teaching with and without GeoGebra
2017
Previous studies have produced several typologies of teacher questions in mathematics. Probing questions that ask students to explain are often included in the types of questions. However, only rare studies have created subtypes for probing questions or investigated how questioning differs depending on whether technology is used or not. The aims of this study are to elaborate on different ways of asking students to give explanations in inquiry-based mathematics teaching and to investigate whether questioning in GeoGebra lessons differs from questioning in other lessons. Data was collected by video recording 29 Finnish mathematics student teachers’ lessons in secondary and upper secondary sc…
Multiple benefits but almost as many obstacles : teachers and students' perceptions of the integration English and vocational studies in University o…

Integraatio on opetusmenetelmä, jossa pyritään häivyttämään eri aineiden välisiä rajoja muodostamalla aineiden välille yhteyksiä. Integroitu opetus voidaan nähdä erityisen hyödyllisenä ammattikorkeakoulujen kontekstissa, jossa opetuksen tavoitteena on tarjota opiskelijoille työelämän tiedot ja taidot kokonaisvaltaisessa muodossa. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää ammattikorkeakoulun opettajien ja opiskelijoiden käsityksiä ja asenteita englannin ja ammattiaineen integraation tavoista sekä hyödyistä ja haitoista. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys kartoittaa englannin kielen opetusta ammattikorkeakoulussa ja integraatiota opetusilmiönä korkeakoulutuksen kontekstissa. Tutkimus toteu…
Intercultural competence needs of exchange students coming to or going abroad from the university of Costa Rica
2012
Internationalization of higher education is a process in constant development that has occurred over many years. It involves efforts of the entire academic community and the implementation of diverse strategies. Focusing on the academic exchange, the less developed regions face certain particularities that limit them. The following study portraits this situation from the perspective of intercultural competence, in the context of one Latin American University, the University of Costa Rica (UCR). It explores the intercultural competence needs of exchange students, whose common ground is the UCR. The population considered in the study are regular students of the University of Costa Rica, who p…
Evaluation of the university sport services for international students : a case study from the university of Jyväskylä

The role of adolescent athletes' task value patterns in their educational and athletic career aspirations
2018
Abstract The present study examined the stability and change in task value patterns that Finnish student-athletes (n = 391) show during their first two years in upper secondary sport school and the extent to which these patterns, and changes in them, are associated with students' future educational and athletic career aspirations . By using latent profile analysis , three different and highly stable motivational patterns were identified among adolescents: (1) a dual motivated pattern, characterized by high value placed on both school and sport; (2) a low academically motivated pattern, characterized by a high value placed on sport but a low value on school; and (3) a relatively low sport m…
Agency, expertise and working life skills : Students’ conceptions of the generic competences required in the world of work
2021
Fundamental changes in working life highlight the demands on the co-operation between the educational sector and working life, that should contribute to students’ employability. In addition to discipline-specific expertise, the development of working life skills has received increasing attention when it comes to employment. Drawing on data from Finnish universities of applied sciences (n=5) and universities (n=3), this paper examines how students (n=380) value the generic competences needed in in the world of work. The study is based on European reforms of labour markets and educational structures. This paper adds to current discourses around employability by highlighting differences betwee…
The effectiveness of a five-session workshop on the distress of international students in Finland – a pilot study
2023
The mental health of international students has become a concern, as they face high levels of psychological distress. We designed a five-week acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop with two additional individual assessment meetings. The intervention aimed at helping international students attending a Finnish university to reduce their symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, and enhance skills of psychological flexibility. The post-assessment was conducted seven weeks after the pre-measurement. Using data from 53 participants, an evaluation indicated that statistically and clinically significant reductions in symptoms were observed, and the workshop was well received. Regressi…
