  11. Periods and concentration of subjects 4 periods with schedules of their own Subjects are concentrated in different periods (usually 4 lessons=2 double lessons a week) P.E. is an exception (there are PE lessons in every period) The idea is to reduce incoherence and increase target-oriented learning (every course is assessed) www.hansjoss.ch/finnl_april09

  12. An example of concentration www.hansjoss.ch/finnl_april09 This pupil has only 2-4 subjects a day which makes 8-9 different subjects a week instead of around 15, which is the total amount of subjects pupils study yearly. She can concentrate on studying Maths, Finnish, English, Social Science, Physics and Geography in the 3rd period. Moreover, she’s got P.E. and Pupil Guidance in her schedule.

  13. Special-needs education Two different types: part-time and full-time special education No big difference – the aim is to integrate pupils into regular education Pupils who attend full-time special education usually have other than learning problems, too Pupils get support also in regular education (assistants, individual education plans) Integration takes also place in autism education www.hansjoss.ch/finnl_april09
