Ideas for using GeoGebra and Origami in Teaching Regular Polyhedrons Lessons
2018
The approach of combining GeoGebra and origami is well accepted among students in the school "Petro Kuzmjak" where it is used to teach geometry lessons. This article elaborates on how to introduce students (upper elementary and high school students, age 14-18) to Platonic solids and their properties through combination of GeoGebra and origami activities. Some of the important mathematical concepts related to these well-known geometrical solids can be explained to students applying hands-on activities along with educational software. peerReviewed

We propose a method that automatically describes teacher talk. The method allows us to describe and compare classroom lessons, as well as visualizing changes in teacher discourse throughout the course of a lesson. The proposed method uses a machine learning model to infer topics from school textbooks. Certain topics are related to different contents (e.g. kinematics, solar system, electricity), while others are related to different teaching functions (e.g. explanations, questions, numerical exercises). To describe teacher talk, the machine learning method measures the appearance of the inferred topics throughout each lesson. We apply the proposed method to a collection of transcripts from p…
"Joo kotona tee opiskele relevant vocab" : monikielisyys amerikkalaisilla suomen tunneilla
2014
Maisterintutkielma tarkastelee monikielisiä käytänteitä amerikkalaisen yliopiston suomen kielen tunneilla. Aineisto koostuu kolmesta nauhoitetusta suomentunnista. Osallistujia ovat neljä amerikkalaista suomen alkeisoppijaa, ryhmän opettaja ja opetusassistentti (tutkija itse). Tutkielmassa analysoidaan monikielisyyden funktioita suomen oppitunneilla ja sitä, miten kielenopiskelukonteksti vaikuttaa suomen tuntien kielellisiin käytänteisiin. Tutkielmassa luodaan katsaus monikielisyyden tutkimukseen sekä ensikielen käyttöön vieraan ja toisen kielen opetuksessa. Tutkielma sijoittuu koodinvaihdon tutkimuksen viitekehykseen, mutta keskiössä ovat osallistujien monikieliset resurssit. Lisäksi tutkim…
Exploring in-class physical activity levels during physical education lessons in Finland
2017
This research aimed to measure in-class physical activity levels during physical education in grades seven to nine, and to determine the influence of gender and lesson content on such activity levels. Data was collected from 96 lessons across 14 secondary schools. Heart rate data consisted of 821 valid measurements. The mean heart rate across the data set was 135 beats per minute and students engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity 41% of lesson time. Students were most active during game lessons and there was an evident gender difference, with boys being more active. However, when the impact of lesson content and gender on physical activity were tested simultaneously by multi-lev…

Avaimet toimivaan musiikintuntiin : yläkoulun musiikinopettajan toimintamallit häiriökäytöstilanteissa ja niiden ennaltaehkäisyssä
2014
Nykypäivän opettajalta vaaditaan paljon. Monet opettajat kokevat itsensä riittämättömiksi luokan edessä ja usein opettaja kokee työnsä äärimmäisen stressaavaksi. Syitä tähän on monia, mutta suurimpia syitä opettajan työn raskauteen ovat mm. erilaiset käytöshäiriöt ja yleinen häiriökäyttäytyminen, jotka ovat lisääntyneet huomattavasti vuosikymmenten aikana. Huono käytös voi johtua monista eri asioista. Huono käytös voi olla psyykkistä tai sosiaalista, tai vastaavasti taustalla voi olla käytöshäiriö tai joku muu syy esim. yleinen hälinä luokassa. Häiriökäytös on suoraan yhteydessä kouluviihtyvyyteen niin oppilaiden kuin opettajankin kannalta ja sen t…
”Unelmieni oppitunti” englannin kielen opettajakoulutettavien visualisoimana
2017
This study views the motivation of future teachers from quite a novel perspective: in terms of vision or envisioning. The study was carried out with student teachers of English (n=31) enrolled on a MA degree programme at a university in Finland. They were asked to envision an English class of their dreams after graduating as qualified teachers. The students produced a picture and were asked to comment on it briefly and provide some further details concerning the class. The task was carried out as part of one of the first professionally oriented courses in the students’ university studies. The pictures complemented with commentaries, or pools of multimodal data, were subjected to qualitative…
Experimenting with the structured assessment dialogue in physics and mathematics classes
2017
Teacher–student discussions are central in assessing students’ skills and knowledge. This study deals with formal, pre-planned discussions to assess students’ inquiry competences. The method is called the structured assessment dialogue (SAD) which combines formative and summative assessment. Six SAD sessions (4 lower secondary physics and 2 upper secondary math) were implemented at the end of inquiry lessons. The SAD sessions were video recorded and the discussions were analyzed using theory based categories and networks. The results showed that the truly novel SAD method in Finnish classrooms challenged teachers and students. For example, students usually gave lower order answers although …
