Work-related language learning trajectories of migrant cleaners in Finland
2017
Cleaning is often the survival employment that migrants can get in their new home country. Ideally, the workplace can be a site for integration and language learning. This article explores how two migrants working as cleaners in Finland narrate their work-related Finnish language learning trajectories. The research is designed by applying nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004), which focuses on social action in the intersection of interaction order, participants’ life experiences, and discourses in place. The social action in focus here is investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015), which means a commitment to developing language skills to achieve one’s aspirations. The article also analy…

Orientamenti nella formazione docente per l’inclusione
2020
Dinanzi alle sfide inclusive che la scuola oggi pone, legate al bisogno di comunità, inclusione, rispetto della diversità, si registra la necessità di accrescere una cultura dell’autovalutazione negli insegnanti, onde generare consapevolezza e programmare piani di miglioramento della didattica. Sin dalla formazione iniziale, è opportuno misurare e monitorare un costrutto complesso come quello dell’inclusione, affinché gli insegnanti sviluppino riflessività e consapevolezza e comprendano meglio il contesto socio-culturale in cui agiscono, nonché gli effetti della loro azione sugli alunni. In tale prospettiva, è stata condotta una rilevazione delle percezioni sull’agire inclusivo su un campio…
La Self-Efficacy degli insegnanti di sostegno in formazione iniziale
2021
Nell’ultimo ventennio gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy hanno sempre più indagato le percezioni degli insegnanti e come queste influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 1591 studenti iscritti al V ciclo del corso per il conseguimento della specializzazione per le attività di sostegno didattico per gli alunni con disabilità dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. In the last twenty years, studies on Self-Effic…
Drama - die Tür in neue Welten im Sprachunterricht : Mit dem Drama die Mündliche Sprachfähigkeit üben und bewerten
2010
Nykypäivän globalisoituneessa yhteiskunnassa kyky pystyä kommunikoimaan vieraalla kielellä on yhä tärkeämpää. Kieltä ei opita puhumaan täyttämällä mekaanisia aukkotehtäviä vaan käyttämällä kieltä. Uusien tehtävätyyppien jatkuva kehittäminen on todella tärkeää. Tämä pro gradu-tutkielma esittelee yhden tavan harjoittaa suullista kielitaitoa. Tarkoituksena oli tutkia, miten draama soveltuu suullisen kielitaidon harjoittamiseen ja miten draaman avulla voidaan sitä testata. Tutkimus kohdistettiin yläkoulun saksan opetukseen. Kielenopetuksen tavoitteena pitäisi olla kommunikatiivinen kompetenssi. Draama tarjoaa yhden tavan viedä opetusta kommunikatiivisempaan suuntaan. Draamapedagogiikka on kokon…
Il ruolo della famiglia nei processi di sviluppo e di apprendimento
2019
Dopo aver definito la complessità del concetto di famiglia nel mondo occidentale contemporaneo, l'articolo tratta del ruolo delle prime relazioni significative e di attaccamento nello sviluppo e nell'apprendimento dei bambini fin dai primi mesi di vita. In una prospettiva intersoggettiva e psicopedagogica il bambino è visto come attivo e partecipe nella relazione e viene sottolineata l’importanza di caregivers attenti e in ascolto, capaci di sintonizzarsi e di rimandare un senso di autoefficacia.
Towards a scenario of virtual mental health environments for school-aged children
2017
This study explores student teachers’ future design scenarios focusing on promoting children’s mental health literacy through virtual reality (VR) environments. VR use is on the verge of many breakthroughs in several areas of lived experience. One such area pertains to educational contexts. Student teachers were chosen as the subjects of this study due to the likelihood that they will be the primary users and disseminators of these emerging technologies in educational contexts. The students created five types of future scenarios that contained different environments and activity modes, including those that are still not yet feasible to realize with current technological capabilities. The ai…
On the motivations to enroll in doctoral studies in Computer Science — A comparison of PhD program models
2013
While student motivation has been intensively researched, only a few studies cover motivation at doctoral level and even less focus on doctoral education in Computer Science. In this paper we investigate the motivation of graduate students to pursue doctoral studies specifically in Computer Science. We interviewed 63 doctoral students, from two different doctoral models (traditional and structured) in Finland and Austria, on their initial reasons and experiences that led them to enroll in doctoral studies. We identified five disjoint main motivational drivers that relate with different aspects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Together with a measure of the strength of their initial mo…
Revisiting rainfall to explore exam questions and performance on CS1
2015
The Rainfall problem comprises small tasks that have been used to investigate student performance in introductory programming. We conducted several kinds of analyses to inform our understandings of student performance in CS1 relating to this problem. We analyzed implementation approaches and program errors, as in related studies, and also explored the role of test writing vis-a-vis the most common student error. Finally, using correlation analyses and manual inspection of the exam answers, we studied how well the Rainfall problem served as an exam question. The students' implementation choices reflected their familiarity with particular loop constructs, while the single most common error co…
Teaching programming by emphasizing self-direction: How did students react to the active role required of them?
2013
Lecturing is known to be a controversial form of teaching. With massed classrooms, in particular, it tends to constrain the active participation of students. One of the remedies applied to programming education is to use technology that can vitalize interaction in the classroom, while another is to base teaching increasingly on programming activities. In this article, we present the first results of an exploratory study, in which we teach programming without lectures, exams, or grades, by heavily emphasizing programming activity, and, in a pedagogical sense, student self-direction. This article investigates how students reacted to the active role required of them and what issues emerged in …
