Longitudinal associations between pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence and cultural beliefs
Beliefs and emotions are intricately connected. This study first investigated changes in pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) over three years of initial teacher education. It then examined the relationship between EI and cultural beliefs (i.e., multicultural and egalitarian beliefs), and the stability of these associations across time. The study used data collected from two cohorts in eight Finnish universities using an online surve…
Policy and practice recommendations for supervised teaching practicum
The role of mentoring expertise in school-based teacher educator recruitment
In many countries, student teachers now spend more time in schools with school-based teacher educators (SBTEs) than in earlier decades. Recruitment of SBTEs, along with their professional learning, is therefore critical for teacher education quality, yet it has received little empirical attention. This study investigates the role of mentoring expertise in SBTE recruitment in Finnish teacher training schools. Two data sources were analysed: advert…
Teacher competencies sought by employers in early childhood education and care recruitment
Given the critical role that teachers play in children's learning and the effective delivery of early childhood education and care, research on early childhood education and care teacher recruitment has been limited. This study examines employer expectations for teacher competencies in early childhood education and care teacher recruitment by analysing 322 job advertisements for early childhood education and care teacher positions in Finland. A d…
Professional development opportunities and a newly built daycare center
Attracting and recruiting qualified, high-quality teachers is a global challenge. In Finland, the recruitment of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) teachers has been particularly problematic, especially in the Helsinki metropolitan area. This paper investigates the incentives used in job advertisements to attract ECEC teachers in Finland and the differences in incentives between urban, semi-urban, and rural municipalities. The analysis of …
Teaching practicum research in Finland
This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the empirical research on teaching practicums in Finland. It aims to address challenges in synthesising research noted in previous international reviews by focusing on a specific educational context. A comprehensive search strategy, including database searches, manual searches and citation hand-searches, identified 74 relevant studies. The aims and outcomes of the reviewed studies clustered…
The Role of Educational Science in Professional Knowledge
The significance of theoretical knowledge for professional practice is widely acknowledged, but how students in professional education construct meanings of their major subject remains understudied. This study examined how primary student teachers reflect on the role of educational science in their professional knowledge. Textual data were collected after their first practicum in a Finnish primary teacher education programme. Discourse analysis i…
Relationship building in culturally diverse European classrooms – a scoping review
Changing demographics in Europe highlight the need of teachers prepared for culturally diverse educational contexts (CDEC) and relationship building (RB). This scoping review explores how the topic of RB in CDEC has been addressed within European-centred research. We conducted a search involving three databases, a grey-literature search, and a reference search, identifying 32 articles that met our requirements. Our findings indicate among others …
Finnish teacher students’ career choice motivations
This mixed-methods study analysed motivations to teach among Finnish first-year teacher students ( N = 946) from early childhood, primary and special education programs, to discern potential additional motivations in a context where teaching is highly regarded and any differences between programs. Responses to an open-ended question revealed complementary motivational nuances to enrich the FIT-Choice scale in this context, such as ‘perceived soci…
Debunking the myth of high achievers in Finnish primary teacher education
This study aimed to explore the admitted students of Finnish primary teacher education programmes from the viewpoint of learning strategies, and academic success. An overall view was derived from national register data, which were supplemented with questionnaire data gathered from three teacher education units (N = 216). Primary teacher programmes currently seem to attract and select mediocre secondary school graduates from academic perspective, …
The hidden admission agendas in Finnish primary teacher education in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s
Applicants’ suitability for the teaching profession has been underlined in admissions to Finnish primary teacher education. Nevertheless, hidden agendas beyond teacher competence frameworks and attribute definitions have also influenced primary teacher admissions, particularly in the last three decades (the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s). This article investigates these agendas connected with the gender and age distribution of the admitted students, and…
Arduous admissions and a precarious profession
Sustaining the attractiveness of the teaching profession to recruit committed students to teacher education is a global policy issue. However, in many parts of the world, the teaching profession has become less attractive. Also in Finland, where teacher education has traditionally been highly attractive, several programmes have recently suffered from a substantial decrease in the number of applicants. The current paper addresses the phenomenon by…
