These changes may have positive or negative effects on organizations, and that is why organizations have to react fast in order to take advantage of opportunities and to protect from threats. We …

Learning teamwork through a computer game: for the sake of performance or collaborative learning?
2021

Second, although the game taught students the importance of continuous information sharing in teamwork, their evaluation of team outcomes was pe…

Long-term profiles of work-related rumination associated with leadership, job demands, and exhaustion : A three-wave study
2017
ABSTRACTThis study extends previous research on recovery from work stress by investigating the role of qualitative job demands and leadership in employees’ work-related rumination (WRR). The long-term development of WRR was examined from a person-centred approach across 22 months. Drawing on the stressor-detachment framework and conservation of resources theory, we investigated whether different WRR profiles could be understood in terms of levels of and changes in quantitative, cognitive, and emotional job demands, several aspects of supervisory leadership, and exhaustion that was expected to result from the impeded energy restoration process. A three-wave questionnaire study was conducted …
Within-student variability in learning experiences, and teachers’ perceptions of students’ task-focus
2016
In order to advance models of educational processes (intraindividual, intensive longitudinal), we propose a model in which we specify state and trait constructs, and an intraindividual variability construct. In our ecological momentary assessment study, we investigated how trait-level and intraindividual variability of students’ learning experiences (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, task difficulty, effort exertion, help-seeking and competence evaluations) converged with teacher-reported student task-focus. 285 primary school students’ (Years 5 and 6) completed the Learning Experience Questionnaire using handheld computers, on average 13.6 learning episodes during one week (SD = 4.6; Ran…
Surgical learning and guidance on operative risks and potential errors

Erityisopetuksesta oppimisen ja koulunkäynnin tukeen
2015
Erityisopetuksena tunnettu perusopetuksen keskeinen toimintamalli on ollut voimallisten muutosten kohteena 1990-luvun lopulta aina näihin päiviin saakka. Vuoden 1998 perusopetuslain myötä alkanut asteittaisten uudistusten sarja kulminoitui vuonna 2011 voimaan tulleisiin perusopetuslain muutoksiin ja oppimisen ja koulunkäynnin tuen järjestelmän toimeenpanoon. Edellisenä vuonna toteutettu valtionosuuslain muutos vaikutti myös olennaisesti erityisopetuksen rahoitukseen ja resursointiin. Teos kokoaa yhteen kolmen toisiaan teemoiltaan sivuavan Helsingin ja Jyväskylän yliopistojen tutkimushankkeen tuloksia. Tutkimushankkeissa sekä rahoituksen että erityisopetuksen järjestelmän reformia on tarkast…
The challenges of Language: re-shaping legislative discourse(s) and text(s)
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU and member states in the field of labour law has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the EU and the actors involved in the labour law dialogue. From this point of view, the Green Paper on Modernising labour law invites member states, the social partners and other interested parties to participate in a consultation process and an open debate, in order to look at how labour law can help promote flexibility in conjunction with security, regardless of the type of employment contract. The aim of this paper is to explore how the labour law interactants re-shape their discou…
Linguistic diversity and assessment in multilingual schools
2018
En un entorno en el que la diversidad lingüística es natural, la metodología de evaluación afronta nuevos retos. La equidad en el proceso evaluativo aconseja la consideración de aspectos relacionados con las características psicométricas de las pruebas, el desarrollo de la competencia lingüística, o el contexto sociolingüístico, a través de modelos explicativos sobre las variables contextuales de naturaleza lingüística que inciden en el rendimiento. Utilizando datos poblacionales de centros educativos de segundo curso de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria que ofertan más de un modelo lingüístico en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco (N=45), este trabajo analiza las respuestas de 2783 estudi…
