Introducing Teenagers to a Dialogue with Judaism as the Task of School Catechesis
2014
This analysis proves that introducing teenagers to a dialogue with Judaism is one of catechesis’s tasks. This task has been outlined in the post-conciliar documents of the Catholic Church. It underlines the spiritual ties between Catholic people and the Jews and promotes forming an attitude of openness towards followers of the Mosaic religion. It also contributes to mitigating anti-Semitism among Catholic teenagers. At the same time, it raises interest in Jewish traditions and culture. In the religion syllabus in lower and post-secondary schools we can come across numerous references (mainly indirect) to Judaism. The focus on passing honest knowledge about Judaism can be also clearly visibl…

The project was carried out through innovative methods: a learning café and online educational material for professionals in the field. This collaboration involved the infectious diseases ward of Aurora Hospital, nursing students and lect…
Algorithms and Logic as Programming Primers
2019
To adapt all-immersive digitalization, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) ‘digi-jumps’ by integrating programming into elementary education. However, applying the change to mathematics teachers’ everyday praxis is hindered by a too high-level specification. To elaborate FNC-2014 into more concrete learning targets, we review the computer science syllabi of countries that are well ahead, as well as the education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM and IEEE. The whole mathematics syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these recommendations and feedback collected from software professionals and educators. The feedback reveals an imbalan…

2017
Suullisen kielitaidon testaaminen on ollut monien vuosien ajan tapetilla Suomen lukio-opetuksen parissa. Keskusteluja eri tahojen välillä on käyty tiheään ja varsinkin viime vuosina suullisen kokeen lisääminen osaksi ylioppilastutkintoa on noussut keskeiseksi keskustelunaiheeksi. Tätä prosessia on kiihdyttänyt erityisesti elokuussa 2016 käyttöönotettu uusi opetussuunnitelma, joka vahvasti painottaa tavoitteissaan suullisen kommunikaation taitoja elämän eri osa-alueilla. Suulliselle kielitaidolle on suuri kysyntä työelämässä ja täten kirjallisten taitojen on tehtävä tilaa suulliselle kielitaidolle. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää oppilaiden näkökulmasta, miten englannin kielen …
Paņēmieni vārdu krājuma paplašināšanai par tēmu "Ēdiens" 5.klasē
2016
Diplomdarba izstrādātāja pēta dažādus paņēmienus kā paplašināt vārdu krājumu par tēmu “Ēdiens” 5. klasē. Diplomdarba autors uzsver, ka vārdu krājums ir vissvarīgākais valodas aspekts un valodas mācīšanās sākas ar vārdu apguvi. Saistībā ar mācību programmu piektajā klasē ir jāmācās par tēmu “Ēdiens” maltītēm, veselīgu un neveselīgu ēdienu. Pētījuma metode ir gadījuma pētījums, kas balstās uz tādām datu apstrādes metodēm, kā aptaujas, intervijas un skolotājas žurnāls. Izvēlētie respondenti ir piektās klases skolēni un divas angļu valodas skolotājas tika intervētas. Skolotāja žurnālā akcents tika likts uz to, kā skolēni strādā stundās, mācoties par tēmu “Ēdiens”.

Elementary Math to Close the Digital Skills Gap
2018
All-encompassing digitalization and the digital skills gap pressure the current school system to change. Accordingly, to ’digi-jump’, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) adds programming to K-12 math. However, we claim that the anticipated addition remains too vague and subtle. Instead, we should take into account education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM, and define clear learning targets for programming. Correspondingly, the whole math syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these changes and the feedback collected from SW professionals and educators. These findings reveal an imbalance between supply and demand, i.e., what is ove…
