Tensions of student voice in higher education : Involving students in degree programme curricula design
2020
This paper considers the direct involvement of students in degree programme curricula design, specifically four computer science teacher students designing new curricula for the Faculty of Information Technology of the University of Jyväskylä. They participated in a project to make recommendations for the 2017–2020 master’s and bachelor’s programme curricula. We examined how these recommendations were implemented in the new curricula and what hindered student voice. The project led to major changes: making basic studies in mathematics optional, adding three new courses, and defining new learning goal descriptions for two master’s programmes. Several factors hindered student voice: insuffici…

Furthermore, a lack of shared conceptual understanding among studies conducted in different cultural and disciplinary contexts undermines the comparability, generalisability, and build-up of a coherent body of knowledge on the LE design. This educational design research re…
School principals’ point of view on pupils’ participation

En concreto, participaron 684 y los resultados indican que los niños y las niñas no solo opinan en clase, sino que toman decisiones cuando trabajan en grupo, en relación con la convivencia o votando sus prop…
