A Review of Five Studies on Learner Beliefs About Second Language Learning and Teaching : Exploring the Possibilities of Narratives
2015
This article reviews five studies carried out within two projects in Finland on the subjective experiences of second language learning and teaching and the related beliefs held by university students of English or other foreign languages. The studies to be reviewed have been conducted using contextual approaches, and written or visual narratives. The aim is to explore how narratives have been used in doing research on learner beliefs by illustrating some of the units of analysis applied within different theoretical frameworks. In addition to summarizing the studies, the article will discuss the methodological lessons learnt and indicate directions for future research. peerReviewed
English teaching in Finnish upper secondary schools : students' and teachers' perceptions
2014
Englannin opetus on käynyt läpi monia muutoksia ajan kuluessa. Globalisoituvan yhteiskunnan myötä englannin käyttö on yleistynyt ja kieltä opitaan myös muualla kuin koulumaailmassa. Tämä asettaa haasteita englannin opetukselle ja opettajien onkin mietittävä, miten opetusta voisi kehittää nykyajan vaatimuksia ja tarpeita vastaavaksi. Tässä kehittämistyössä on tärkeää ottaa myös oppilaat ja heidän mielipiteensä huomioon. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää millaista englannin opetus nykyään on suomalaisissa lukioissa. Erityisesti tutkimus pyrkii saamaan selville, käytetäänkö tunneilla enemmän perinteisiä vai innovatiivisia opetusmenetelmiä. Perinteisillä opetusmenetelmillä tarkoiteta…

Analysis of corrective feedback in a multilingual classroom context from a CLIL perspective.
2017
Esta tesis doctoral analiza el feedback correctivo en una clase plurilingüe desde una perspectiva CLIL. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el feedback que tiende a ser utilizado cuando se corrigen los errores orales en clase comparando diferentes asignaturas, todas ellas impartidas en lengua inglesa. Para ello se analiza la relación entre tipos de feedback y tipos de errores en diferentes asignaturas. Lo que se intenta averiguar es qué estrategias normalmente se eligen para corregir, qué tipo de error es el más frecuente y si hay alguna relación entre tipo de error, el feedback utilizado y la asignatura. Para el estudio se realizaron grabaciones de las clases con video cámara. Las asig…

The Analysis of teachinpractices at school and at university
2011
It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…

"The English language and my world" : analysis of the new National core curriculum for upper secondary schools 2015 from EFL teaching perspective
2017
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan syksyllä 2016 voimaan tulleen lukion opetussuunnitelman perusteiden(LOPS 2015) eroja verrattuna edelliseen lukion opetussuunnitelman perusteisiin (LOPS 2003). Erojen mahdollisia vaikutuksia englanti vieraana kielenä -opetukseen (EFL) pohditaan. Aihetta lähestytään kyselymuotoisen tapaustutkimuksen avulla, jossa on haastateltu kokenutta lukion englannin opettajaa. Kyselyllä on selvitetty, miten uusi opetussuunnitelma vaikuttaa englannin opetukseen. Analyysissä selvisi, että englanti on uudessa opetussuunnitelmassa omana osanaan, erotettuna muista vieraista kielistä, toisin kuin vanhassa opetussuunnitelmassa. Tästä johtuen englannin kielen opetustavoitteet, kurssite…
A New Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT) to Assess the Quality of Life at Work in the Italian Academic Context
2022
Refereed/Peer-reviewed The present study provides evidence for a valid and reliable tool, the Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT), to investigate the quality of life at work in academics within the Italian university sector. The AQ@workT was developed by the QoL@Work research team, namely a group of expert academics in the field of work and organizational psychology affiliated with the Italian Association of Psychologists. The tool is grounded in the job demands-resources model and its psychometric properties were assessed in three studies comprising a wide sample of lecturers, researchers, and professors: a pilot study (N = 120), a calibration study (N = 1084), and a validation study …
Validating of a hetero- and self-evaluation tool for teaching organization
2021
Il contributo presenta uno strumento di etero-auto-valutazione della capacità di organizzazione dell’insegnamento in classe, che è stato usato per misurare negli insegnanti in formazione le abilità di previsione e sviluppo di un intervento didattico, di regolazione e riflessione sulla pratica. Osservare e decidere, pensare che cosa, perché e come insegnare, progettare e valutare in modo autentico, sono operazioni complesse e determinanti per creare l’humus organizzativo e metodologico che caratterizza lo sviluppo professionale dell’insegnante, anche riguardo alle competenze comunicative e riflessive (Perrenoud, 2012; Conole, 2014; Panke, 2019). La rating scale, con le azioni da osservare, è…
