  • Makerspace oppimisympäristönä : yhteiskehittely Arabian peruskoulussa 
    Volotinen, Iina (2018)
    The purpose of this Master’s Thesis was to study the various types of objectives and contents created in a makerspace set in Finnish comprehensive school, and to find practices for developing similar innovative learning environments. The starting point was a research problem according to which the infrastructure of several comprehensive schools is in many ways inadequate in relation to the latest national core curriculum (POPS 2014), and therefore it fails to serve the acquisition of 21st century skills. The larger theoretical framework of this thesis is a socio constructivist learning theory, within which I review research done on learning environments and learning by making, with emphasis on design-oriented maker-culture. Previous studies have shown that inadequate physical learning environments may have negative impacts on learning and well-being in schools. Furthermore, there is strong scientific proof that emphasizing student-centered education and self-direction furthers learning. The research subject was the makerspace of a design education-oriented comprehensive school, whose concept has been selected as an educational innovation for the international project HundrED. The research approach selected was a case study and its qualitative data collected discretionarily through expert interviews. Visual anthropology as a research method enabled the use of visuality as part of content analysis. The analysis revealed that the makerspace aims at creating wide-ranging contents and objectives across school subject borders. Design methods are applied to the makerspace as part of both official and informal teaching. Data-based content analysis yielded a narrative image of the various stages of the creating process, pedagogical thinking of interviewees, and the still developing nature of the makerspace. The results of the thesis can be used particularly in creating new learning environments, which are making their way into basic education. Additionally, the results can be applied to designing and planning new schools.
  • Yhteissoitto alakoulun musiikinopetuksessa : alakoulussa musiikkia opettavien opettajien käsityksiä yhteissoitosta, sen toteuttamisesta ja sen tärkeydestä 
    Rajala, Elli (2014)
    The aim of this study is to examine what means ensemble in primary school music education, how it should be taught and why it should be an important part of primary school music education. A theme of this study was selected, because it's important and current. Primary school music education which is implemented with help of ensemble can fully support the modern heterogeneous class and every unique member of its. The importance of this study explains also the lack of previous research. The data of this study was collected based on five teachers theme interviews. All of the teachers were teaching music in primary school. Interviews were made during the autumn 2014. Two of the teachers worked in Pirkanmaa and the rest of them in Helsinki metropolitan area. The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. This study shows that ensemble in primary school music education doesn't mean only playing together with instruments. Essential parts of ensemble are for example body rhythms, music and movement and word rhythms, which will help to develop every student musical skills and to move to the instruments. This study shows also that ensemble in primary school music education is a long-term process. After all it's possible to get a heterogeneous class finally playing together if it is advanced with small steps and used musical base supporting exercises regularly and variedly. This study shows also that teacher's role is significant if ensemble wants to be successful. However, social skills will be develop if ensemble in primary school music education will implement systematically and each student participatory. Also the development of other areas, like a physical and intellectual development is possible with help of ensemble. This study shows also that ensemble was also seen effecting positively to whole class improving cohesion and to whole school improving a positive atmosphere. On the grounds of this study can be said that ensemble in primary school music education can advance every student's holistic growth. Ensemble can also effect on taking into account one another, accepting diversity and appreciating community.
