The effect of polytechnic reform on migration
2011
This paper examines the effect of the polytechnic reform on geographical mobility. A polytechnic, higher education reform took place in Finland in the 1990s. It gradually transformed former vocational colleges into polytechnics and also brought higher education to regions that did not have a university before. This expansion of higher education provides exogenous variation in the regional supply of higher education. The reform raised the mobility of high school graduates across local labour markets in the years after they had completed their secondary studies, which indicated increased mobility between high school and post-secondary education. We estimate that the reform enhanced the annual…
Opening up learning environments : liking school among students in reformed learning spaces
2022
The present study focuses on views of Finnish basic education students on open and flexible learning environments and the extent to which these views are associated with students’ liking of school. The data were based on an online questionnaire containing both structured ratings and open-ended questions filled out by primary school students (n = 684; grades 2–6; between ages 8–13 years) attending reformed learning environments.

Quantitative analyses indicated that students had mostly positive evaluations of their renewed learning environments. Students’ perception of …

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…
