Sixth Graders’ Use of Technologies in Learning, Technology Attitudes and School Well-Being
2017
1.IntroductionAlthough the Finnish educational system has gotten plenty of global attention as one of the best in the world (Sahlberg, 2014), it still faces many challenges (EU Parliament, 2015). For instance, the PISA results are diminishing, especially in rural areas and among boys (OECD, 2013). Even worse, Finnish adolescents were ranked very low on their liking for school (OECD, 2013). Consequently, reforms in teacher education and school have been suggested by emphasizing 21st Century skills, student-activating methods, inquiry-, project-, problem- and phenomenon-based learning (EU Parliament, 2015).The new national core curriculum also emphasizes on using digital technologies in schoo…
DESIGNING & PILOTING ONLINE TESTS AS PART OF A TEACHER COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT
2019
Approaches for competence assessment are becoming increasingly important to plan school development goals, especially during complex educational changes. This paper outlines authors’ experience and recommendations from the designing and piloting of teacher online tests as part of a wider competence management process. A developed theoretical model of a universal teacher competence profile is presented. Tests represent four thematic parts related to teacher performance in classroom to facilitate: student cognitive activation, student self-regulation, student collaboration, and leveraging digital. Test questions were developed based on a framework of teacher performance assessment that consis…
Menstrual problems and lifestyle among Spanish university women
2020
Menstrual problems affect many young women worldwide, conditioning both their academic performance and quality of life. This study sought to analyse the prevalence of menstrual problems and their possible relationship with lifestyle among Spanish university women, as part of a research project (UniHcos Project) involving a cohort of 11 Spanish universities with 7208 university students. A descriptive analysis was performed using the bivariate chi-square test and the Student&rsquo
Executive functions in kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder
2018
Executive functioning (EF) is a key cognitive process for development. Little is known about EF in Kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), despite this age being one of the most critical and intensive period of motor and cognitive development. In our investigation we compared EF in kindergarten children at risk for DCD with Typically Developing (TD) children. Participants were 36 Italian children, 18 at risk for DCD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6 years and 18 TD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6. Executive functions were measured by tasks targeting cold executive functioning (working memory, fluency, inhibitory control) and t…
3D visualization of engendering collaborative leadership in the space
2012
The paper focuses on collaborative leadership in education and how to illustrate its engendering process in a three-dimensional space. This complex and fluid process is examined as distributed and pedagogical within a Finnish vocational upper secondary educational organization. As a consequence, the notion of distributed pedagogical leadership is used when collaborative leadership in education is studied. Collaborative leadership is argued to consist of the innermost substance of a professional learning community, as attributes of a group of people working together for specific purposes. Therefore, collaborative leadership naturally involves actors, activities, and context. However, the inn…
Frequency of co‐teaching in different teacher categories
2010
Co‐teaching – or the use of more than one teacher in a classroom – has been commonly recommended as a means to promote inclusive education. The aim of the present study was to survey the actual frequency of co‐teaching among different teacher categories in the comprehensive school level in one Finnish city. The data were collected through a questionnaire answered by two representative samples of teachers including 117 resource room teachers in the first survey, and 317 teachers of various teacher categories in the second. The results showed that co‐teaching was a widespread phenomenon among resource room teachers and special class teachers but less frequent among other teacher groups. Overa…
La pedagogía en tiempos revueltos. Arte, ciencia y profesión como señas de una renovada identidad
2014
En una sociedad llamada del conocimiento, de cambio acelerado y enmarcada en grados de complejidad sin precedentes como la actual, es inexcusable plantearnos una aproximación reflexiva que permita concretar el perfil identitario de la profesión pedagógica y ajustar las profundas transformaciones que este ha experimentado en las últimas décadas a las nuevas demandas ciudadanas. El objetivo de este trabajo no es otro que explorar el triángulo de parámetros básicos que, a nuestro modo de ver, han ido configurando dicho perfil: la pedagogía como arte, como ciencia y como profesión. El entramado de convergencias y divergencias, rupturas y acercamientos, cambios y persistencias, que estas señas d…
Neutralidad y honorabilidad del árbitro: : De la ética a la diligencia
2021
One of the main principles of arbitration is that the arbitral tribunal must be independent, impartial, neutral and diligent in carrying out its duties throughout the arbitration proceedings. However, the sophistication and complexity of arbitration as an extra-judicial dispute resolution procedure can undermine confidence in the efficiency of the system. In this regard, the professional (arbitral) ethics and the honourability of the arbitrator are of major importance. This article aims to highlight the importance of the neutrality of the arbitrator, the integrity of the arbitration and the reputation of this procedure
Emergenza epidemiologica e obblighi di rinegoziare nei contratti del calcio professionistico.
2020
L’emergenza epidemiologica da Covid-19 ha generato effetti devastanti sull’economia italiana, i quali sono particolarmente avvertiti nell’ambito del calcio professionistico. L’interruzione delle competizioni e l’incertezza sulla loro ripresa determina un blocco delle entrate, a fronte di costi che restano inalterati. Si profila perciò, per le società sportive, l’esigenza di rinegoziare i contratti con atleti e tesserati; esigenza che si traduce, per le parti del rapporto, in un vero e proprio obbligo basato sulla buona fede. Il lavoro prende in esame le soluzioni cui i Collegi arbitrali sportivi potrebbero pervenire nell’eventualità, piuttosto probabile, che sorgano contenziosi nel prossimo…
