  1. Pertti Kansanen Professor Emeritus of Education University of Helsinki Department of Teacher Education

  2. Tutkimusperustainen opettajankoulutus – suomalainen opettajuus Mikä on erityistä suomalaisessa opettajankoulutuksessa? Miten suomalainen opettajankoulutus erottuu kansainvälisesti? Onko opettajankoulutuksella ja oppilaiden koulumenestyksellä yhteys? Onko PISA-menestys opettajien ansiota? Selittääkö koulutusjärjestelmä menestyksen opettajista huolimatta? Voidaanko puhua suomalaisesta opettajuudesta?

  11. Basic level of teacher education • Studies in education • Subject matter studies • Student teaching and practice Aiming at Competencies in everyday teaching

  12. Conceptual level of teacher education • Main organising principle: Research-based approach • Continuous courses of research methods • Overall competence of research methods • Teachers as practitioner researchers Aiming at Teachers’ pedagogical thinking

  13. Research-based teacher education & Pedagogical thinking

  14. Two faces of research-based teacher education • Evidence-based teaching • Based on research results • Literature research reviews • Meta analyses • Hattie, J.A.C. (2009). Visible learning: A synthesis of over 800 meta-analyses relating to achievement. London: Routledge. • Practitioner research • Based on one's own research • Metacognitive approaches:reflection, purposiveness • Pedagogical thinking • Kansanen, P., Tirri, K., Meri, M., Krokfors, L., Husu, J., & Jyrhämä, R. (2000). Teachers´ pedagogical thinking. Theoretical landscapes, practical challenges.New York: Peter Lang.

  15. Hattie, J.A.C. (2009). Visible learning: A synthesis of over 800 meta-analyses relating to achievement. London: Routledge. • Over 50 000 studies, many millions of students • Effects of each study are converted to a common measure (an effect size) • ES = [Meantreatment – Meancontrol]/SD or • ES = [Meanend of treatment – Meanbeginningof treatment]/SD • ES = d = 1.0 > students receiving treatment would exceed 84 % of students not receiving that treatment • ES = d = 1.0 is like the difference between 1.60 cm and 183 cm; d = 0.29 is like 180 cm – 182 cm; d = 0.0 > no change • ES = d = 0.40 > average for teachers > standard for judgments

  32. DEDUCTIVE Pedagogical thinking The way to organise the activities School-based Research-based INTUITIVE RATIONAL Experiential Personal Problem-based Case approach INDUCTIVE

  33. DEDUCTIVE Pedagogical thinking The model of structuring action School based CONCEPTUAL LEVEL • metacognition • reflection • pedagogical thinking • producing • expertise Teacher education P r a c t i c i n g TEACHING RESEARCHING • thinking • skills-based teaching • recipes • routines, tips • adaptation • consuming • knowledge- based INTUITIVE RATIONAL BASIC LEVEL Experiential, personal Problem based, case approach INDUCTIVE Research- based

  34. CONCEPTUAL LEVEL P r a c t i c i n g PRACTITIONER RESEARCHER • producer • expert PERSONAL-PRACTICAL THEORY (rational) • pedagogical thinking • reflection • metacognition TEACHING RESEARCHING Teacher education • PRACTITIONER • consumer • adaptation of knowledge- based practice PERSONAL-PRACTICAL THEORY (intuitive) • everyday thinking • skill-based teaching • recipes, tips, routines BASIC LEVEL

  35. University practice schools

  36. University practice schools • University practice schools belong to universities • Supervisors experienced and educated mentors • Safe and peaceful context for practising • Practice integrated to the totality; to the theory and research • Practice also in the field schools (one third)

  37. Two levels of teacher education- the characteristics of twofold practice PRACTISING TEACHING PRACTISING RESEARCHING GENERAL LEVEL metacognition reflection pedagogical thinking producing research expertise BASIC LEVEL everyday thinking skills-based teaching teaching recipes, routines, tips adaptation consuming research knowledge-based Making pedagogical decisions Inquiring one’s own work RESEARCH-BASED TEACHER EDUCATION Jyrhämä

  38. Self-studies in teacher education • Teacher research by teacher educators • The researcher and the practitioner are one and the same • Improvement of teaching practice • Practitioner research action research self-study • Becoming public; becoming an object of critical review; and developing the ideas brought out

  39. Structure of teacher education inside the university

  40. Departments of teacher education research departments • All departments at universities are research departments (evaluated in the same way) • All have responsibility to do research • Professors, university lecturers, doctoral students • Subject didactics (Fachdidaktik) inside departments of teacher education • Professor chairs also in subject didactics

  41. Structure of teacher education Asymmetric matrix model Integrated model Matrix model Coordinating Unit of TE Unit of TE Unit of Teacher Education Part of teacher education in a unit Part of the program outside the unit Teacher education in a separate and integrated unit Teacher education decentralized to different departments

  42. Integrated model • Teacher education in a separate and integrated unit • Strong, independent organisation • Complex multi-disciplinary organisation • Problems with high competence in different subject areas • Strong competence in education and fachdidaktik (professors of education & professors of fachdidaktik in the same department)

  43. Asymmetric matrix model • Part of teacher education in a unit • Part of the program outside the unit • Weaker own identity • Possibilities to utilize the subject matter competence outside the unit • Risk for fragmentation of teacher education

  44. Matrix model • Teacher education decentralized to different departments • Strong subject matter competence • Teacher education - an administrative centre • Pedagogy fragmented • Teacher education – weak position in the higher education institution

  45. Comparison at the basic level • Recruitment • Length • Basic curriculum (theory, fachdidaktik, practice) • Contents of the practicum • Analyses of the curriculum content • Similar courses, different courses, number of credits, etc. • Competence of teacher educators • University – College - Vocational high school --------------------- Conclusion: Quite similar programmes

  46. Comparison at the conceptual level • Structure (integrated, asymmetric matrix, matrix) • University practice schools (Finland) • Teacher educators (professors, doctors, doctorands) • Unity of research and teaching (Humboldt ideal) • Autonomy of teacher education vs. policy • Level of qualification (BA > MA) • To doctoral studies • Continuous evaluation of teacher education • evaluation of research (publications, congresses, etc.) • evaluation of teaching (quality of teaching) • self-study of teacher education
