Finnish pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions

2019

To support the development of pupils’ 21st-century skills, teachers themselves must also be competent in these skills and learn them during pre-service teacher education. The aim of this study is to investigate what kind of profiles emerge among Finnish first-year pre-service teachers’ (N = 872) in terms of perceptions of their strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions and what background variables explain membership of the profiles found. Latent profile analysis showed five student profiles corresponding to perceived strategic learning skills and collaboration dispositions. The most robust factor explaining the membership of the profiles was life satisfaction. Pre-service te…

Evolution of conflict and cooperation in human groups

2018

The scale of human cooperation and conflict is outstanding and evolutionarily challenging to explain. Cooperative and hostile behaviours have deep evolutionary roots and adaptive functions. However, theoretical models differ in how they explain these functions. Thus, my thesis aims to empirically test functional predictions about human cooperation and conflict. These experiments use a behavioural ecological framework, and pay also attention to the effects of social and developmental environments. In the first two chapters, I studied how group composition affects cooperation and individual success, and how people react to information of each other’s cooperative behaviour. I found that cooper…

"Työrauha ei käsittääkseni voi tulla taivaan lahjana, vaan sen eteen on tehtävä töitä" : opettajien kokemuksia työrauhan rakentamisesta

2016

Työrauha on koulumaailmassa asia, jonka jokainen opettaja kohtaa päivittäisessä työssään. Opettajan auktoriteetti eri muodoissa, vuorovaikutus ja yhteistyö ovat tutkimusten mukaan työrauhan rakentamisen ja ylläpitämisen avaintekijöitä. Niistä opettaja saa koottua itselleen sopivimmat työkalut työrauhan luomiseen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millä tavoin opettajat luovat ja ylläpitävät työrauhaa luokassaan sekä millaisia haasteita he näkevät työrauhan ylläpitämisessä. Tutkimus toteutettiin kvalitatiivisella tutkimusotteella. Tutkimuksemme aineisto koostuu Opettaja-lehden keskustelupalstalla vuosina 2000–2015 työrauhaa käsittelevistä mielipidekirjoituksista (n=41). Analysoi…

Assortment, but not knowledge of assortment, affects cooperation and individual success in human groups

2017

The success or failure of human collective action often depends on the cooperation tendencies of individuals in groups, and on the information that individuals have about each other's cooperativeness. However, it is unclear whether these two factors have an interactive effect on cooperation dynamics. Using a decision-making experiment, we confirm that groups comprising individuals with higher cooperation tendencies cooperate at a higher level than groups comprising individuals with low cooperation tendencies. Moreover, assorting individuals with similar cooperation tendency together affected behaviour so that the most cooperative individuals tended to cooperate more and the least cooperativ…

Can noncomplementarity of agency lead to successful problem solving? A case study on students’ interpersonal behaviors in mathematical problem-solvin…

2022

In student collaboration, purposeful peer interaction crucial for success on the task. Such collaboration requires adequate and purposeful student agency. Theoretically, the between-individual complementarity of agency be-haviors enhances purposeful interaction. However, the level of agency of group members can disrupt the collaborative interactions. We conducted a case study of collaborative mathematical problem solving, where one student's behaviors of noncomplementary agency characterized the group interaction. We examined the video recording of the group by continuous quantitative coding of students' agency behaviors and segmented the interaction process into four phases. We analyzed qu…

Pre- and In-Service Teachers’ Teamwork Behaviour in Integrated Teacher Training

2023

Teamwork and collaboration skills are regarded as essential proficiencies in the current worlds of work, study and everyday life. A relevant question is whether and how pre-service teachers have opportunities to begin acquiring professional collaboration skills during their studies. In the current study, Finnish pre- and in-service teachers participating in a joint training programme were engaged in reflection tasks to evaluate their teamwork behaviour during a challenging pedagogical design task in mixed teams. The aim of this study was to examine how pre- and in-service teachers perceived their teamwork practices while performing authentic training activities together. The participants re…

Teacher emotional support in relation to social competence in preschool classrooms

2020

The present study aimed to investigate the associations between teachers’ observed emotional support and social competence among Finnish pre-schoolers (6-year-olds). The quality of emotional support was observed using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System Pre-K in 47 preschool classrooms twice across the preschool year. Teachers rated children’s social competence in autumn and again in spring, using the Multisource Assessment of Social Competence Scale (MASCS), which produced sum scores for cooperating skills, empathy, impulsivity, and disruptiveness. Consistent with the transactional model, we specified reciprocal (auto-regressive and cross-lagged) relationships within a Multilevel Struc…

Inter-firm co-operation capability : a processual empirical study on networking family firms

2003

This study examines inter-firm co-operation capability both conceptually and empirically. The central questions to be examined in this study are as follows: 1) What is inter-firm co-operation capability?, 2) How can it be described by using the concepts of networking and inter-firm co-operation?, 3) What has been the role of learning, trust and commitment in the inter-firm co-operation and networking process? The conceptual analysis rests mainly on the theories of interorganisational studies (network approach) and education. The multiplicity and heterogeneity of the phenomenon led quickly to the conclusion that no one-dimensional approach alone would be adequate to describe the inter-firm c…
