Education Process

The effectiveness of education process from teachers´ perspective, as well as application of teaching strategies for enhancing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), is becoming an increasingly frequent subject of discussion across various fields. Bloom's taxonomy is known as the classification of educational goals. This has become the groundwork for many educators worldwide, who are using it to design activities for developing HOTS. This preliminary casestudy analyses knowledge of traffic and road safety within pupils, as well as their level of thinking skills in this field with emphasis on analytical skills and risk assessment in traffic. A didactic test was assembled to examine the level of thinking of 4th grade primary school pupils. The results showed that pupils´ level of knowledge in the field is age-adequate; however, in application of HOTS, as well as risk assessment, there is room for improvement.

Tässä kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa selvitettiin biologian ja maantieteen opetuksessa käytettyjä ilmastonmuutosta koskevia opetusmenetelmiä ja niiden tukemista tiedon ja ajattelun tasoista. Tutkimuskysymyksiksi muodostuivat: 1) Mitä ilmastonmuutoksen oppimista edistäviä opetusmenetelmiä biologiassa ja maantieteessä käytetään? 2) Millaisia oppilaiden tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja ilmastonmuutoksen opetuksessa käytetyt opetusmenetelmät tukevat? Tutkimukseen valikoitui 14 kansainvälistä tieteellistä artikkelia (N=159). Valinnan kriteereinä olivat: oppisisältö, julkaisuvuodet 2000–2019 sekä kohderyhminä peruskoululaiset ja lukiolaiset. Lisäksi artikkelissa tuli olla ainakin yksi opetusmenetelmä. Opetusmenetelmät tutkittiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Opetusmenetelmien tukemia tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja analysoitiin teoriaohjaavalla sisällönanalyysillä. Sekä biologiassa että maantieteessä yleisimpiä opetusmenetelmiä olivat tutkiva oppiminen, ongelmanratkaisu, ryhmätyöt ja opettajakeskeiset opetusmenetelmät. Maantieteessä käytettiin biologiaa monipuolisemmin erilaisia ilmastonmuutoksen opiskelua edistäviä opetusmenetelmiä. Opetusmenetelmät tukivat korkeampia tiedon ja ajattelun tasoja harvemmin kuin alempia. Osa käytetyistä opetusmenetelmistä mahdollistaa omien kokemusten jakamisen ja päättelyn ryhmässä, mikä tukee opiskelijoiden oman ajattelun ymmärtämistä ja kriittistä ajattelua.   Teaching methods used in biology and geography concerning climate change education Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the teaching methods used in biology and geography concerning climate change education (CCE) and about their level of knowledge and thinking skills. The research questions were: (1) What kind of teaching methods were used in biology and geography to enhance CCE and (2) How do teaching methods support the levels of knowledge and thinking skills of students. This qualitative study focused on articles of biology and geography teaching and CC. Articles for the analyses were sourced from scientific databases using search terms e.g. CC, and teaching methods. All searches were based on the following criteria: international peer reviewed articles published 2000–2019; articles concerning teaching methods regarding CC; and the target group being 12-18-year-old students. 14 articles (N=159) filled the criteria. Teaching methods were analyzed by material-based content analysis and the levels of knowledge and thinking supported by the teaching methods by theory-guided content analysis. The levels of knowledge and thinking supported by these teaching methods were analyzed using theory-guided content analysis. Results show that both in biology and geography, enquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, group work and teacher-centred methods were used most often. In geography, the methods supporting CCE varied more than in biology teaching. The higher levels of the knowledge and thinking skills were supported more seldom than the lower ones. The results of this study are meant to be implicated in supporting teaching of the CC. Some of the teaching methods used allow for the sharing of individual’s own experiences and reasoning in the group, which in turn support students’ understanding of their own thinking and critical thinking and which are the key features in discussing problems such as climate change.

Vitro Test

The title of this paper is challenging, because the question of how in vitro methods and results contribute to human health risk assessment is rarely considered. The process of risk assessment usually begins with hazard assessment, which provides a description of the inherent toxicological properties of the chemical. The next step is to assess the relevance of this to humans, i.e. the human hazard assessment. Finally, information on exposure is examined, and risk can then be assessed. In vitro methods have a limited, but important, role to play in risk assessment. The results can be used for classification and labelling; these are methods of controlling exposure, analogous to risk assessment, but without considering exposure. The Ames Salmonella test is the only in vitro method which is incorporated into regulations and used widely. Data from this test can, at best, lead to classification of a chemical with regard to genotoxicity, but cannot be used for classification and labelling on their own. Several in vitro test systems which assess the topical irritancy and corrosivity of chemicals have been reasonably well validated, and the results from these tests can be used for classification. The future development of in vitro methods is likely to be slow, as it depends on the development of new concepts and ideas. The in vivo methods which currently have reasonably developed in vitro alternatives will be the easiest to replace. The remaining in vivo methods, which provide toxicological information from repeated chronic dosing, with varied endpoints and by mechanisms which are not understood, will be more difficult to replace.

Estimation Models

Ship collisions are one of the most common types of maritime accidents. Assessing the frequency and probability of ship collisions is of great importance as it provides a cost-effective and practical way to mitigate risk. In this paper, we present a review of quantitative ship collision frequency estimation models for waterway risk assessment, accompanied by a classification of the models and a description of their main modelling characteristics. Models addressing the macroscopic perspective in the estimation of ship collision frequency on waterways are reviewed in this paper with a total of 29 models. We extend the existing classification methodology and group the collected models accordingly. Special attention is given to the criteria used to detect potential ship collision candidates, as well as to causation probability and the correlation of models with real ship collision statistics. Limitations of the existing models and future improvement possibilities are discussed. The paper can be used as a guide to understanding current achievements in this field.

Discovery Trunks - specimen-based educational kits - use museum collections and standardized curricula to catalyze critical thinking skills through inquiry learning. Inquiry learning facilitates the development of new knowledge by examining a novel situation in light of past experience - a crucial skill for a child in today’s unpredictable world. Inquiry learning empowers students by making them stronger and more confident in their discovery and synthesis of information. Discovery Trunks enhance learning opportunities for students, promote the parent institutions, and develop new audiences by taking the institutional mission beyond classroom walls. Such Trunks contain authentic, real world objects and inquiry lessons that align with state educational standards. Discovery Trunks encourage contemplative analytical skills, thoughtful communication, thorough exploration of a topic, and cultivate a citizenry of open-minded problem solvers. Through inquiry-based learning, we see key components of this personal investigation exemplified through student-centered, student-driven activities that connect new knowledge and prior knowledge. This presentation will deconstruct these multidisciplinary kits and their contents to guide museum professionals to explore effective, high value, low cost materials and methods to produce and advertise educational kits to the community. Offered as an essential outreach component, these educational kits cultivate tomorrow’s thinkers, movers, and laborers in an ever-changing society.
