Reducing disruptive behaviours and improving classroom behavioural climate with class-wide positive behaviour support in middle schools
2017
Disruptive behaviour in classrooms is a significant challenge for learning in schools and a risk factor for students’ academic achievement and a significant source of teachers’ work-related stress. Earlier research shows that clear behavioural expectations, monitoring students’ adherence to them and behaviour-specific praise are effective practices to reduce disruptive behaviour. Although behaviour problems are common in middle schools, most of the interventions have been developed and studied in elementary schools. This randomised study evaluated the effects of a class-wide intervention on classroom behavioural climate and disruptive behaviour, on teacher-experienced stress and on the time…
The Children of Risk Communication
2022
For the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk communication has been a much-needed preventive and educative action to support citizens – including children – to adopt preventive and health protective measures. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is not the only health concern at hand that has raised concerns about the health status of children and required disease-preventive strategies. Bearing in mind the mental health problems and learning losses reported during the pandemic, in this commentary, we will argue that by now, it is time to consider critically if there could be more space for positive communication and education, both alongside and as an integral part of risk communication, to…

Towards humane digitization : a wellbeing-driven process of personas creation
2019
Digital transformation is a process of digitizing the working and living environment in which people are at the center of digitization. In this paper, we present a personas-based guideline for system developers on how the humanization of digital transformation integrates into the design process. The proposed guideline uses the positive personas from the beginning as a basis for the transformation of the working environment into the digital form. We used the literature research as a preliminary study for the process of wellbeing-driven digital transformation design, consisting of questions for structuring the required information in the positive personas as well as a potential method that co…
Suomalaisten kehopositiivisuusaktivistien vastineet kehopositiivisuuden kritiikkiin : analyysi diskursiivisista strategioista
2019
Kehopositiivisuuden - yhteiskunnallisen liikkeen, jonka tavoitteena on kehorauha jokaiselle - keskiössä on Suomessa ollut lihavuus, ja suuri osa suomalaisista kehopositiivisuusaktivisteista on lihavia naisia. Kehopositiivisuus on saanut myös kritiikkiä osakseen: sitä on arvosteltu lihavuutta ihannoivaksi, laihdutusvastaiseksi sekä eilihavia henkiìöitä syrjiväksi. Artikkelissani tarkastelen, millaisia diskursiivisia strategioita kehopositiivisuusaktivistit käyttävät vastatessaan saamaansa kritiikkiin. Analyysin tukena käytän Eve Kosofsky Sedgwickin korjaavan luennan teoriaa. BlogiteksteistÊi ja YouTube-videoista muodostuvasta aineistosta erottui neljä diskursiivista strategiaa: konfrontaatio…

2017
The purpose of this paper is to overview Prokoulu project in Finland that has been introduced to overcome severe school conditions. We scrutinized lecture materials about Prokoulu written by a principal related Iiterature and results of a visit survey. The data revealed that Prokoulu is a three-tier support system that enhances children's behavior by "positive feedback". Before implementing the project for children, teachers are required to change the relationships among colleagues positively in order to become models for children. Teachers, children and parents share fundamental values, and write up desirable behavior The set of goal behavior is clearly indicated to children in positive fo…
