Approaches to Learning, Wellbeing, Study Success and Employment Expectations in a Finnish Business School
2018
In business school contexts, the relationships between the learning approach, wellbeing, study success, and employment expectations have not been widely studied. In this paper, we analyze learning approaches and student wellbeing in a Finnish business school. We found a significant relation between them and success in business school studies and employment expectations. Major-subject related differences in approaches to learning were observed. For example, social relations were particularly emphasized by students of marketing. More specifically, we found seven learning approaches: 1) Independent learners, 2) Teacher-centered learners, 3) Social learners, 4) Fumbling learners, 5) Theoretical…
Studying in Comprehensive School with Low Second Language Writing Proficiency
2013
In this article, we report a case study on the Finnish as an L2 writing skill of weak writers in grades 7–9 of comprehensive school. The study is based on writing performances of 25 students who each completed four different writing tasks (i.e., 100 texts) and a questionnaire about their background information, self-assessment of writing and literacy practices. First, we discuss target language writing proficiency in the school context from the curriculum and pedagogical point of view. Then we present the results of the questionnaire data and focus on the performances of writers with A1 writing proficiency on the CEFR scale. The findings show that students with low writing proficiency in fa…
Intra‐individual dynamics of lesson‐specific engagement: Lagged and cross‐lagged effects from one lesson to the next
2020
Background Student engagement denotes active participation in academic work through commitment and involvement in learning tasks (Appleton et al., 2006, Journal of School Psychology, 44, 427). This study looks at questions such as whether engagement experiences in one lesson have an effect on the next lesson. In the present study, process‐oriented analyses were conducted to examine lower secondary school students’ engagement experiences and the stability of those experiences from one lesson to the next. Aims (1) To what extent are students’ engagement experiences, in terms of behavioural and cognitive engagement, emotional engagement, and disaffection, stable from one lesson to the next (au…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
Zbigniew Jacorzyński
2017
Pułkownik Zbigniew Jacorzyński to postać wybitnie zasłużona dla polskiego pożarnictwa. Urodził się 8 sierpnia 1921 roku w Cieszynie. Był synem oficera Wojska Polskiego. W młodości udzielał się w polskim harcerstwie. W 1937 roku stanął do poboru i dostał przydział do broni pancernej, głównie z powodu fascynacji motoryzacją. W 1939 roku ukończył liceum o profilu matematyczno-fizycznym, po czym odbył obowiązkową sześciotygodniową służbę w Junackich Hufcach Pracy w Równym, na granicy Polesia i Wołynia. W dniu 17 września 1939 roku, kiedy Sowieci przekroczyli polską granicę, cały hufiec został zmobilizowany i skierowany na odsiecz Brześcia nad Bugiem, zajętego wówczas przez Niemców. Po drodze żo…
Prymat Papieża
2015
Problematyka teologicznego uzasadnienia urzędu papieskiego obejmuje tradycyjnie trzy pytania: Czy Jezus w osobie Piotra założył urząd uniwersalnej jedności Kościoła (petrinitas)? Czy istnieje sukcesja tego urzędu począwszy od Piotra po dzień dzisiejszy (perpetuitas)? Wjaki sposób urząd Piotra wiąże się z Rzymem jako miejscem jego sprawowania (romanitas)? W artykule przedstawiono nowe koncepcje teologiczne dotyczące prymatu papieża, biorąc pod uwagę obraz Piotra w Nowym Testamencie oraz proces rozwoju urzędu papieskiego w postaci prymatu biskupa Rzymu. Wostatniej części przedłożenia nakreślono perspektywę ekumeniczną, rozpatrywaną na tle teologicznych i magisterialnych wypowiedzi na temat ro…
Yhtenäisyyttä rakentava peruskoulu – yhtenäisen perusopetuksen ehdot ja mahdollisuudet
2007
Koulu ja perusopetus ovat toiveiden, vaateiden ja odotusten myllerryskenttä. Koulun ja perusopetuksen kehittäminen on myös keskeinen tulevaisuuden haasteisiin vastaamisen keino. Lapselle ja nuorelle koulu näyttäytyy puolestaan arkisina kohtaamisina, joissa vertaisryhmän ja aikuisten maailma lomittuu ja usein myös törmää toisiinsa. Tässä teoksessa raportoitu tutkimus on tarttunut uusimpaan suomalaisen peruskoulun uudistukseen: yhtenäisen perusopetuksen kehittämiseen. Yhtenäistä perusopetusta tarkastellaan kirjassa koulun kehittämisen pedagogisena ja yhteisöllisenä haasteena. Tutkimushankkeen tarkoituksena on ollut ymmärrettävän kuvan luominen suomalaista perusopetusta päivittäin toteuttavist…
Motorisen oppimisen vaikeuden tunnistaminen ja tukeminen kouluympäristössä
2018
Motorisen oppimisen vaikeudella, kuten kehityksellisellä koordinaatiohäiriöllä (DCD), tarkoitetaan huomattavaa vaikeutta oppia uusia motorisia taitoja ja soveltaa jo opittuja taitoja uusiin tilanteisiin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kehittää opettajien käyttöön havainnointityökalu, joka auttaa tunnistamaan motorisen oppimisen vaikeuden esi- ja alkuopetusikäisillä lapsilla. Lisäksi tutkimus selvitti, miten opettajat voivat kouluympäristössä tukea lapsia, joilla on haasteita motorisessa oppimisessa. Tutkimus muodostui neljästä osatutkimuksesta. Ensimmäisessä tutkittiin systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla maailmalla käytössä olevien havainnointilomakkeiden psykometrisiä ominais…
Zwischen Interpretation und wissenschaftlicher Polemik. Traum und Traumbild im Werk des Arztes Galen
2016
The essay, after an overview of the theories of the dream expressed in medical texts and philosophical reflection in the Greek world, analyzes the references to the dream present in the Galenic corpus, with specific reference to the presence of this motif in the context of polemics with exponents of other medical schools. Hence on one side it is possible find Galen taking up a typically Platonic metaphorical use of onar and oneirottein to indicate, pejoratively, confused thought not founded on logos. On the other side, some passages in the corpus polemize – in the strict sense of the word – with incorrect use of the dream by physicians who were adversaries, Empirics and Methodics above all.…
