  • Koronakevät 2020 : etäopetus alakoulun oppilaiden ja perheiden kokemana 
    Stenbäck, Reija-Riikka (2021)
    The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Ministry of Education and Culture to make a historical decision, based on which all schools and educational institutions in Finland switched to dis-tance education on March 18, 2020. If necessary, contact teaching was offered only to pupils in grades 1 – 3 or with special support. The purpose of this dissertation is to record the experience of pupils aged 7 to 12 years and their parents of the distance school routine overshadowed by exclusionary activities of soci-ety. It was mentally a very difficult period. The aim of the dissertation is to find out how dis-tance education was perceived, especially in terms of the mental well-being of pupils and what opportunities the teacher has to support in the community of pupils and other mental well-being in the situation of distance education. This qualitative research has a narrative approach. The material consists of diary-based WhatsApp messages from three students and loosely structured thematic interviews with stu-dents and their parents. The material has been compiled during exceptional circumstances, and it was possible to find out changes in school practices and pupils’ moods as the distance learning period progressed. The results show the importance of different teaching practices on mental well-being of the pupil the differences in the level of teaching practices. The data shows the spring 2020 was challenging. As expected, it highlighted loneliness caused by social isolation but also the po-tential of the school to support community. At it’s best, distance education was challenging but diverse learning environment that devel-oped future skills and self-esteem of the pupil. At worst, it turned out to be a grueling and lonely drill for the pupil when even the provision of basic learning goals was uncertain.
  • Mitä johtajuus on ja mitä sen pitäisi olla? : yritysjohtajien ja lukiorehtoreiden johtajuuteen ja johtamisen kehittämiseen liittyvät narratiivit 
    Hautala, Arttu (2020)
    This qualitative study examines the narratives of high school principals and business leaders who participated in a leadership development project organized in Southern Finland on leadership and leadership development. The study aims to present a temporal and local picture of the experiences and perceptions of the interviewed principals and managers related to leadership and leadership development. The study examines how those in leading positions describe the emergence, construction, development, and future prospects of their leadership in their narratives. In addition, the study examines the activities of principals and managers towards leadership development, and in particular how principals and managers describe the reasons and motivation to participate in leadership development, both within and outside the organization. The research is narrative in nature and is localized in the field of educational leadership research. Leadership is examined through narratively manifested perceptions and leadership development agency. The research material consists of a narrative interview of three high school principals and three business leaders. The analysis of the data was carried out in a data-driven and content-analytical way, based on a paradigmatic-type narrative inquiry. The interviewees narrated their perceptions of leadership on the one hand as leadership manifested in the daily life of an organization built on life and career, and on the other hand as leadership ideals describing their own goals in a future-oriented manner. In terms of leadership perceptions, the results emphasize collective leadership as a goal and as already existing practices, as well as value systems based in human leadership. With regard to leadership developmental agency, the interviewees described the motivational basis of development and the prerequisites required for developmental agency. Development was seen as a prerequisite for the change in the role and operating environment of the leader, and the organizational feedback culture and collegial networks were seen as a prerequisite for developmental agency. Perceptions of leadership differed in part between high school principals and business leaders, but the motivational basis and conditions for leadership development agency were equally present in the narratives.
