Individual behavior support in positive behavior support schools in Finland
2023
One objective in Finnish basic education is for pupils with disabilities or behavioral problems to be able to participate in mainstream education and ordinary classrooms. Positive behavior support (PBS) is an approach that offers multi-tiered behavior support for pupils. In addition to providing support at a universal level, educators need to have the necessary skills to provide more intensive individual support for pupils who need it. Check-in/Check-out (CICO) is a research-based individual support system that is widely used in PBS schools. The Finnish application of CICO includes an individual behavior assessment process for pupils with persistent challenging behaviors. In this article, w…
Classroom interaction and literacy activities in kindergarten : Longitudinal links to grade 1 readers at risk and not at risk of reading difficulties
2017
The purpose of the present study is to establish how the quality of kindergarten classroom interactions and the frequency of literacy activities affect reading development among Grade 1 children—both those who are at risk and not at risk of developing reading difficulties. Interaction was assessed in terms of classroom organization, and the level of emotional and instructional support offered in 49 kindergarten classrooms in Finland using the CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System). Kindergarten teachers also recorded the frequency of literacy activities in their classrooms. The phonological awareness and letter knowledge of 515 children (i.e., their pre-reading skills) were assessed at…
Musiikin ja sen käytön terapeuttisia merkityksiä ja vaikutuksia varhaiskasvatuksessa : fenomenografinen interventiotutkimus varhaiskasvattajan käsity…
2014
MUSIIKIN JA SEN KÄYTÖN TERAPEUTTISIA MERKITYKSIÄ JA VAIKUTUKSIA VARHAISKASVATUKSESSA. Fenomenografinen interventio-tutkimus varhais-kasvattajien käsityksistä terapeuttisesta musiikkikasvatuksesta. Tämän fenomenografisen interventiotutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kerätä varhaiskasvatuksessa toimivien kasvattajien käsityksiä terapeuttisesta musiikkikasvatuksesta. Tutkimus pyrki hahmottamaan, mitä terapeuttisuuden käsite tarkoittaa varhaiskasvatuksessa olevan musiikkikasvatuksen viitekehyksessä ja lisäämään tietoisuutta musiikkikasvatuksen terapeuttisista aspekteista sekä mahdollisuuksista lasten opetuksessa ja kuntoutuksessa. Tutkimus selvitti, miten interventio vaikutti kasvattajien käsityksii…
Äitien yhteisöllisyys verkossa
2008
Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa perehdytään pienten lasten äitien väliseen kanssakäymiseen verkossa ja siitä mahdollisesti kehittyvään verkkoyhteisöllisyyteen. Tutkielmassa aihetta käsitellään aiempien tieteellisten tutkimusten kautta. Yhteiskunnan muuttuessa on huomattu monien ihmisten etsivän enenevissä määrin tukea ja seuraa itselleen verkosta. Tutkimusten mukaan näin tekevät myös pienten lasten vanhemmat. Pienten lasten äidit kärsivät jatkuvasta aikapulasta, joten heidän on luontevaa etsiä samanhenkistä seuraa verkosta lasten vuorokausirytmin sen salliessa. Kirjallisuuskatsauksena toteutettavan työn alussa määritellään mikä on yhteisö, tutustutaan verkkoyhteisöllisyyteen ja sen merkitykse…
Podderžâka âzykovogo razvitiâ dvuâzyčnogo rebënka v domašnem okruženii : na primere finsko-russkogo dvuâzyčiâ
2013
Tämän tutkimuksen keskeisenä tarkastelun kohteena on, miten vanhemmat sekä muut läheiset tukevat kaksikielisen lapsen kielellistä kehitystä. Tutkimusilmiön laajemman ymmärtämisen vuoksi selvitän myös seuraavat tutkimuskysymykset: 1. miten kaksikielisyys ilmenee eri perheissä? 2. onko vanhemmilla huolenaiheita, jotka liittyvät lapsen kaksikielisyyteen? Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen. Keräsin tutkimusaineiston haastattelemalla neljän perheen kaksikielisten lasten vanhempia. Näiden neljän perheen kotikielinä ovat suomi ja venäjä. Aineiston analyysissa käytin teoriaohjaavaa sisällönanalyysia. Tutkimustulosten mukaan kaksikielisyys ilmenee eri perheissä osittain hyvin samankaltaisena. Komm…
Physical play - How do we inspire and motivate young children to be physically active through play? An international analysis of twelve countries’ na…
2023
Lifelong movement and physical activity (PA) patterns develop during early childhood. Therefore, educators (teachers and practitioners) in early childhood education and care (ECEC) should provide opportunities to support children’s play, PA, and movement development. The World Health Organization (2019) offers new recommendations for PA, for children under five years. The guidelines do not specify the ways ECEC staff can support PA through play. Therefore, this paper investigates, how physical play (PP) is enacted globally. An international policy and practice analysis of twelve countries, (Australia [Victoria], Belgium [Flanders], Canada [Alberta], China, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal,…
Correlates of physical activity parenting : The Skilled Kids study
2018
We examined the relationship between physical activity parenting (PAP) and child, family, and environmental factors in families. The participants were 840 families with young children (n = 993; 5.40 ± 1.14 years) and parents (n = 993; 35.8 ± 5.29 years). Parents' self‐reported PAP (co‐participation, (in)direct support, and encouragement), child‐specific (sex, age, temperament, outdoor time, organized physical activity or sports, sedentary time, media time, PA enjoyment, motor skills compared to peers, PA, and sport facility use), family‐specific (respondent's sex, age, education, exercise frequency, family income, family status, number of children in the family, child's birth order and part…
The difficulty of being a professional, a parent, and a spouse on the same day : daily spillover of workplace interactions on parenting, and the role…
2017
Designing parenting interventions and preventions requires knowledge on the factors and processes that shape parenting behaviors. Using data collected over 10 days, during the last hour of work and before going to bed, this study examined the spillover of interpersonal work stresses into positive and negative parenting behaviors. Data were collected among 103 couples who had at least one child between the age of one and eight years. Of particular interest was the role of received emotional spousal support as a moderator of stress spillover. Dyadic variants of multilevel models were used to analyze the data. The results showed that on days on which mothers or fathers reported stressful inter…
Learning Disabilities Elevate Children’s Risk for Behavioral-Emotional Problems : Differences Between LD Types, Genders, and Contexts
2021
Our purpose was to study the frequency of behavioral-emotional problems among children identified with a learning disability (LD). The data were obtained for 579 Finnish children (8–15 years) with reading disability (RD-only), math disability (MD-only), or both (RDMD) assessed at a specialized clinic between 1985 and 2017. We analyzed percentages of children with behavioral-emotional symptoms reaching clinical range (i.e., z score ≥1.5 SDs) and the effects of the LD type, gender, and context (home vs. school) on them. Furthermore, we analyzed the effect of the severity of LD and gender on the amount of behavioral-emotional symptoms reported by teachers and parents. Alarmingly high percenta…
Digital skills and application use among Finnish home care workers in the eldercare sector
2021
This chapter explores the role digital skills, interest in technology, and social support have in home care workers’ use of digital applications at work. The empirical research is based on the 2019 University of Jyväskylä survey study on eldercare work (N = 6,903), drawn from the members of four majors trade unions in Finland. In this chapter, a sub-sample of home care workers (n = 1,398) is used in the analyses. Structural equation models are used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of available technology support, digital skills, and interest in technology on the actual use of various digital applications at work. According to the results, technology support has no direct effect o…
