Pedagogical infrastructure to support students' self-regulation in flipped learning

Collaborating and solving multi-level problems are pivotal skills that education should emphasise from the early years.

In this integrated learning process, children first created an individual drawing and a guided writing assignment on a character that would make others laugh and then placed these characters in a story. The stories were collected via collaborative storytelling and the activity was a problem-solving assignment on a humo…
Field Trip to a Historic House Museum with Preschoolers
Cultural heritage education promotes children's interest in society, especially their immediate surroundings and history. Traditionally in Finland, history is learned through visits to local historic house and city museums, where the learners' role might be quite passive and their only activity a worksheet.
