Sustainability of society demands diversified and balanced development of one’s personality with morality-based quality of knowledge and skills. This can be achieved by respecting the mission of education, namely, to facilitate integrity of social and personal competencies. The goal of the study is to highlight the understanding of teachers and parents about ethical views and moral competency of the young people. The article reveals views of teenagers about values of people and life, about human beings and their obligations. The study combined the quantitative and qualitative research methods, and included content analysis of research documents, surveys and data of pedagogical observations. Moral opinions expressed by the students in the framework of the study reveal that their views on human beings, their obligations towards themselves and society are superficial and declarative. Knowledge about morality and values is notional; therefore, it does not act as motivation for civic action. Moral competency, which is based on relativism, is not complete.

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan leksikaalisen diversiteetin eli tekstin sanastollisen monimuotoisuuden rakentumista. Tavoitteena on esitellä leksikaalisen diversiteetin tutkimuksen metodiikkaa ja osoittaa sen potentiaali kielitaidon arvioinnin välineenä. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään, kuinka yksilöllisiä arvioijien käsitykset tietyn tekstin sanastollisesta monimuotoisuudesta ovat, missä määrin arvioijien käsityksiä voidaan selittää tekstien sanastollisilla piirteillä ja mitkä näistä piirteistä ovat käsitysten selittäjinä tärkeimpiä. Artikkelissa leksikaalista diversiteettiä tutkitaan tekstejä ja niiden tulkintaa vertailemalla. Aineisto koostuu koululaisten kirjoittamista kertomusteksteistä ja aikuisten lukijoiden teksteille antamista sanastollisen monimuotoisuuden arvioista. Kunkin tekstin (yht. 60) arvioi 23 arvioijaa, joiden vastausten yhdenmukaisuutta tarkasteltiin tilastollisesti. Tämän jälkeen selvitettiin tätä tutkimusta varten rakennetun tilastollisen mallin avulla, millaisiin sanastollisiin piirteisiin inhimilliset arvioijat kiinnittävät huomiota tekstien sanastollista monimuotoisuutta arvioidessaan. Tulokset osoittavat, että arvioijien käsitykset yksittäisten tekstien sanastollisesta monimuotoisuudesta ovat hyvin yhdenmukaisia (Cronbachin alfa = 0,959). Arviointien luotettavuutta lisää se, että arvioitavien tekstien suuresta määrästä huolimatta kaikki arvioijat suorittivat tehtävän loppuun saakka eikä arviointilinja olennaisesti muuttunut tehtävän aikana. Leksikaalisen diversiteetin määrittelyn kannalta on olennaista, että tekstien yksittäisistä sanastollisista muuttujista neljä riittää selittämään lähes kolme neljäsosaa (n. 73 %) arvioiden vaihtelusta. Tutkitun aineiston perusteella lukijoiden tulkinta tekstin sanastollisesta monimuotoisuudesta tukeutuu vahvasti 1) tekstin eri sanojen määrään (runsaus), 2) tietyn sanan esiintymien välisiin etäisyyksiin tekstissä (sironta), 3) sanojen laatuun (erityisyys) sekä 4) tekstin sanastolliseen tiheyteen (vaihtelevuus), joka perustuu uusien sanojen tasaiseen ilmaantumiseen tekstissä.   Readers’ perceptions of lexical diversity: Examining lexical diversity at the interface between quantitative and qualitative research This article examines the construct of lexical diversity while focusing on research methodology and the potential for lexical diversity to be used as an index of language proficiency. The study gives attention to questions of inter-rater reliability, the effects of texts’ lexical characteristics on raters’ lexical diversity ratings, and which set of features best accounts for raters’ perceptions of lexical diversity. The present study focuses on lexical diversity in Finnish, and it does this by comparing the lexical characteristics of texts with how they are perceived. The data consists of narrative texts written by school children, as well as lexical diversity ratings assigned to the same texts by adult raters. Each text (n = 60) was rated by 23 raters, whose ratings were tested statistically for inter-rater reliability. A regression model was then used to investigate which lexical features the raters relied on while assessing the texts’ levels of lexical diversity. The results show that the raters’ lexical diversity ratings were highly consistent with one another (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.959). Despite the large number of texts they were asked to rate, all raters rated each of the 60 texts, and their intra-rater consistency remained high from the beginning to the end of the rating task. The results have important implications for the construct definition of lexical diversity: of all the lexical features examined in the present study, four alone suffice to account for nearly three quarters (roughly 73%) of the variance in the ratings. The results suggest that raters’ perceptions of lexical diversity are strongly associated with 1) the number of different words in a text (abundance), 2) the intervals between occurrences of the same word (dispersion), 3) the semantic quality of individual words in the text (specialness) and 4) the overall degree of repetitiveness in the text (variety).

Various development acceleration programs planned for the Papua region rely more on development capital from outside Papua and pay little attention to development capital from within, such as: human capital, social and cultural Papuans themselves. Development towards modernization in Papua without relying on existing local development capital will require enormous funds because civilizations in this region are still lagging behind. The study area in this study is Denom Atukbin Village which is planned to develop into an independent city. This study uses a qualitative research approach with descriptive analysis methods. The limitation of development capital of local human resources (the quantity and quality of human beings is still low) and supporting facilities (infrastructure is still minimal) shows that the implementation of the development plan prepared by the Pegunungan Bintang Regency government will require greater funds (because it uses development capital from outside). In the process, the original inhabitants of Denom Atukbin Village are not expected to be involved much or not the main actors of the development.

The article reveals problems and weaknesses of social pedagogical assistance provided to pupils with emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD) and provides insights into the development of social and educational support at schools. The qualitative research (focus group and interviews), in which there participated social workers and teachers (two groups of informants), has been conducted. The content analysis of the research findings has revealed the major weaknesses of assistance provided to pupils with EBD and its improvement areas: lack of professionals providing necessary help at schools, lack of teachers' special professional competences (the ability to recognize EBD problems, knowledge and skills of providing assistance), lack of cooperation between child assistance specialists, teachers, and parents (feedback problems), and a lack of motivation.
