Opiskelijoiden motivaatio ja siihen vaikuttavat tekijät selkärangattomien peruslajintuntemuksen kurssilla

2017

Lajintuntemustaidot ovat tärkeä bio- ja ympäristötieteiden alojen ammattilaisten osaamisalue. Lajintuntemuksella on myös merkitys osana laajempaa luonnontuntemusta, sillä esimerkiksi ekosysteemien rakenteen ja toiminnan ymmärtäminen ilman lajintuntemusta olisi hankalaa. Lajintuntemustaitojen on todettu heikentyneen luonnontieteiden korkeakouluopiskelijoilla, minkä lisäksi lajintuntemuksen opiskelu korkeakouluissa on todettu yllättävän vaikeaksi. Kaikki opiskelijat eivät koe lajintuntemustaitojen olevan edes tärkeitä tai kiinnostavia. Lajintuntemuksen opiskelua tulisikin kehittää siten, että opiskelijoiden motivaatio paranisi tieteellisesti, sisällöllisesti ja menetelmällisesti laadukkaalla …

Ethical dilemmas and well-being in teachers’ work : A three-wave, two-year longitudinal study

2023

The aim of the present longitudinal study was two-fold: First, to explore what kinds of ethical dilemma groups can be identified among Finnish teachers (n = 310) and second, to examine how these groups differ from each other with respect to occupational well-being and recovery from job strain over the two-year follow-up. Using Latent Profile Analysis, three ethical dilemma prevalence groups were identified: rare (27%), occasional (51%), and frequent dilemmas (22%).

Teachers’ occupational well-being in relation to teacher–student interactions at the lower secondary school level

2023

This study investigated the relation between teachers’ occupational well-being and the quality of teacher–student interactions in lower secondary schools in Finland. Teachers (N = 48) self-rated their occupational well-being in terms of engagement, stress, job demands, and emotional exhaustion. Teacher–student interactions in classrooms were video-recorded and coded with the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. The results of multivariate regression analyses showed that teachers who reported higher work-related stress were observed with a lower quality of emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support when controlling for background factors. It is proposed that the obs…
