(2018)The purpose of this study was to find out how two different kindergartens with physical based activity are structured around physical activity. According to studies children aren’t physically active enough nowadays and according to recommendations children should be physically active three hours a day. That is why I thought it would be interesting to see how kindergartens with physical based activity fulfil the recommendations. From the purpose of the study I formulated these research questions: How does the physical based activity differ in two different kindergartens? How does physical activity based operations work in practice? What do the children think about physical activity based operations? The study was completed as a qualitative study, with both interviews and observations. I collected my material in two kindergartens where I did group interviews with children and interviews with staff and participating observations. The results show that the children have the possibilities to be physically active both indoors and outdoors and relate positively to the activities.

(2016)The purpose of this study is to examine the view that kindergarten teachers have on the planned exercise activities for children in day-care. The research will thus not include spon-taneous movement and activities that might occur, for instance outside during play, but in-stead the scheduled activities. I aim to find out what kindergarten teachers think of the planned activities, and how well-planned the activities are. I am also curious to find out what impact the teachers backgrounds and experiences might have on the activities and what dif-ference they make. The method used in this study was qualitative interviews. Three kindergarten teachers from a smaller municipality were interviewed, and these interviews were recorded with a mobile phone. Later the interviews were transcribed and analysed. The results I got of this study were that all three of the kindergarten teachers were positively inclined to plan exercise activities with children, as they see them as an important aspect of the children’s development. In all three places the activities were planned, taking the envi-ronment into consideration. Thus the kindergarten with a useful environment around them, such as forests, could utilise these environments more than the kindergarten located in an environment that was not as useful.

(2016)The aim of this study was to find out what physical education in kindergarten looked like during different time periods and what kind of vision educators had on it. The study covers three time periods 1915–1925, 1965–1975 and 2005–2015. This is a qualitative study with literature review as a method. The material for the literature review was collected from different libraries, from the archives of the Ebeneser home and from the Internet. The material was analyzed and the three time periods were compared to each other. Although there’s been used different types of documents, this study has been able to provide an insight on how physical education looked like and what kind of role it had in these time periods. This study concludes that physical education has changed over the years. It has gained a stronger position in the planning of day care activities and its importance in children’s physical development has grown. Furthermore, "gymnastics" in kindergarten has looked different depending on the time period and you can see how the emphasis in physical education has changed during these periods.

(2022)Tiivistelmä - Abstrakt - Abstract Mål. Pedagogens uppdrag är att vara relationskompetent och att bemöta barnet så att det främjar utveckling och lärande. I Grunderna för planen för småbarnspedagogik (Utbildningsstyrelsen, 2022) betonas hur viktigt det är med ett ömsesidigt, öppet och respektfullt bemötande då man planerar verksamhet. I läroplanen poängteras också att att alla barn har rätt att bli hörda och sedda både som enskilda individer och som medlemmar i en grupp. Avhandlingen har sin utgångspunkt i hur Rosenbergs Nonviolent Communication kan utgöra en metod för att främja en sådan form av relationell kompetens såsom styrdokumenten uttrycker. Syftet med avhandlingen är att ge en övergripande beskrivning av Rosenbergs Nonviolent Communication (NVC) metod för att ta reda på hur den relaterar till finländska styrdokument för småbarnspedagogik med fokus på värdegrunden och pedagogens relationskompetens. Forskningsfrågan lyder: På vilket sätt relaterar Rosenbergs NVC metod till finländska småbarnspedagogikens värdegrund och krav på personalens relationskompetens? Metoder. Denna avhandling är en integrerad litteraturstudie med en hermeneutisk kunskapssyn. Jag har forskat vad existerande litteratur framhåller angående Rosenbergs NVC metod i ljuset av småbarnspedagogikens styrdokument i Finland. Den valda litteraturen har analyserats genom hermeneutisk kunskapssyn. Hermeneutik är en form av tolkning som går ut på att skapa förståelse för den mening, innebörd och de värderingar som finns i en text. Resultat och slutsatser. Resultaten visade att Rosenbergs NVC metod stöder värdegrundsuppdraget och personalens relationskompetens på flera olika sätt. Det framkom ur litteraturen att NVC är ett förhållningssätt och ett relationsbyggande verktyg. Det framkom att NVC kan fungera som verktyg för främjandet av pedagogens empati och självreflektion. Övrigt som framkom var verktyg för ökad tidsanvändning och för konflikthantering. Etiska värden som respekt, delaktighet, självreflektion och sensitivitet var likadana i NVC och i styrdokumenten. Resultatet visar att NVC metoden går att omsätta läroplansgrunderna i praktiken.

(2021)Social and emotional learning (SEL) has been the zeitgeist in education for the last 20 years. Part of this trend researchers have developed numerous measuring instruments for assessing the social and emotional learning. Previous research has shown that the theory of social and emotional learning is rather elusive and lacks an established definition. The majority of SEL measuring instruments are also short-lived and developed with American populations. The aim of this study is to explore the present state of SEL measuring instruments, since the previous compendiums are already ten years old. This study was conducted as a systematic literature review. 101 unique measuring instruments related to social and emotional learning were identified during the data collection phase. The measuring instruments were systematically indexed for future reference for the first time. In addition, 12 self-report measures were further analysed and compared against the SEL framework of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). The majority of SEL measuring instruments still originate from North America. Compared to the previous reviews, the amount of measures assessing both social and emotional skills has increased. Apart from the psychometric differences, the analysed 12 measuring instruments emphasise different competence areas of social and emotional learning. The hegemony of CASEL can be seen as one of the underlying reasons for the increase of recent SEL measuring instruments. Since the competence areas of the CASEL framework are so extensive, all analysed 12 measures with their differing underlying theories slid effortlessly into the framework. The 101 indexed measuring instruments of social and emotional learning provide a robust springboard for follow up research.

(2018)Goals. The goal of this Bachelor’s Thesis was to examine how often households living in Helsinki are cooking food and is there a connection between frequency of cooking and the size of the household or the financial resources of the household. My Thesis is related to a survey carried out by Helsingin Sanomat in fall 2016. Thesis examines how often households cook food and what kind of households are cooking the most. In addition, this Thesis examines is there a connection between the frequency of cooking and the number of children living in the household or between monthly incomes of the household. The subject is topical because it hasn’t been much examined before and it provides information about the Finnish eating habits. According to some previous examination about the frequency of cooking Finns cook quite often. Factors that may be connected to the frequency of cooking have hardly been previously examined. Methods. My Thesis was executed as a quantitative research. The data of my Thesis was secondary, as it was originally collected by a survey carried out by Helsingin Sanomat in fall 2016. There were 13 381 respondents and 4 147 of the respondents were from Helsinki. The respondents were either readers of the Helsingin Sanomat online magazine or people who visited the website. Hence data can not be considered as statistically significant take, it is more like a comprehensive sample. The data was analyzed with SPSS Statistics 24 utilizing descriptive statistical analysis methods such as frequencies and percentages. The connections between variables were analyzed with crosstabulation, Khi square -test and Fisher’s exact -test. Intensity of the connections were analyzed with Cramérs V -coefificient. Results and conclusions. According to the results of my Thesis, households living in Helsinki cooked food at home few times a week or daily. Familys with children and two parents cooked the most. Between the frequency of cooking and the number of children a statistically significant, but rather weak, connection was found. The results provided indications that households with more children cooked more often. Between the frequency of cooking and the financial resources a statistically significant, but weak, connection was found. However, the results provided indications that households with higher incomes cooked slightly more often. Although results are not generalizable in Finland, they provide information about Finnish eating habits in Helsinki. The results of this Thesis offer reckoned ideas for further scientific research from this subject.

(2021)Tavoitteet. Elimistömme tarvitsee ravintoa joka päivä pysyäkseen toimintakykyisenä. Ei kuitenkaan ole samantekevää minkälaista ruokaa käytämme ravinnoksemme, sillä ihmisen elimistö tarvitsee yli 40 erilaista ravintoainetta, mikä edellyttää monipuolisen ruokavalion toteutumista. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, kuinka yksilön ruoanvalmistustaidot vaikuttavat terveellisen ruokavalion toteutumiseen. Tutkimuksessa pyritään myös selvittämään, mitkä asiat estävät ruoanvalmistusprosessin onnistumisen. Menetelmät. Tutkimus toteutettiin kuvailevana kirjallisuuskatsauksena, jonka aineistona toimi 16 kansainvälistä, vertaisarvioitua tieteellistä artikkelia. Artikkelien sisältö analysoitiin, teemoiteltiiin ja kuvailtiin. Tulokset ja johtopäätökset. Tulosten mukaan ruoanvalmistaidoilla on merkitystä terveellisen ruokavalion noudattamisessa. Ruoanvalmistustaidot monipuolistavat ruokavaliota ja lisäävät terveyttä edistävään ruokavalioon oleellisesti kuuluvien kasvisten, hedelmien sekä kalan määrää. Kiireinen arki nähdään myös terveellisen ruokavalion noudattamisen esteenä, koska kotona tapahtuvaan ruoanvalmistukseen ei jää tarvittavaa aikaa. Myös yksilön taloudellinen asema nähdään yhä suurempana vaikuttajana terveellisen ruokavalion toteutumiselle. Tule-vaisuudessa ruoanvalmistuksen opetuksessa tulisi kiinnittää huomiota, miten edullisista raaka-aineista voidaan valmistaa nopeita sekä terveellisiä aterioita.
