• Lahjakkaat oppijat osana perusopetuksen inkluusiota: Opettajaopiskelijoiden käsityksiä

  Erkki T. Lassila, Eeva Kaisa Hyry-Beihammer

  Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää opettajaopiskelijoiden käsityksiä lahjakkaiden oppijoiden opettamisesta osana inklusiivisuutta painottavaa suomalaista perusopetusta. Opettaja opiskelijoille esitettiin skenaario kehyskertomuksena, jonka kirjoittamista he jatkoivat ohjeistuksen mukaan. Positioanalyysin ja laadullisen sisällönanalyysin avulla tarkasteltiin opiskelijoiden lahjakkaille oppijoille antamia positioita sekä perusteluja huomioida tai olla huomioimatta lahjakkaiden tarpeita opetuksessa ja muussa luokkahuonetoiminnassa. Kirjoitelmissa todettiin, että opettajan pitäisi toiminnassaan huomioida lahjakkaiden oppijoiden tarpeet, mutta samalla kuvattiin myös monenlaisia jännitteitä, jotka tekevät eriyttämisestä haasteellista. Perustelut kytkeytyivät ymmärrykseen 1) inkluusion pedagogisesta ulottuvuudesta, 2) inkluusion sosiaali-sesta ulottuvuudesta ja 3) opettajan professionaalisuuden ulottu-vuudesta. Lahjakkuuden tukeminen näyttäisi haastavan tulevia opettajia myös emotionaalisesti. Lahjakkuutta sekä siihen liittyviä käsityksiä ja tunteita on syytä käsitellä opettajankoulutuksessa, jotta tulevat opettajat pystyvät työssään huomioimaan lahjakkaiden opettamisen osana inkluusiota.

• Giftedness in Inclusive Classrooms: A Cross-Cultural Examination of Pre-Service Teachers’ Thinking in Finland, Austria, Turkey, the Philippines, and Japan

  Erkki Lassila, Eeva Kaisa Hyry-Beihammer, Oktay Kizkapan, Angela Rocena, Manabu Sumida

  This research examines student teachers’ thinking about teaching gifted students in an inclusive classroom context. Grounded in a narrative paradigm, we analyzed narratives from student teachers in Finland, Austria, Turkey, the Philippines, and Japan to identify solutions that they imagined in response to gifted students’ needs in an inclusive classroom. Six solution categories emerged: (a) giving gifted students more challenging or motivational tasks; (b) encouraging peer learning and having gifted students act as teaching assistants; (c) using communication in the classroom and with gifted students; (d) guiding gifted students toward learning opportunities beyond the classroom; (e) consulting colleagues, experts, parents, or principals; and (f) developing one’s own capacities as a teacher. Our findings carry implications for developing teacher education to nurture future teachers who understand the meaning of cultural contingencies and different learners’ needs to teach the gifted in inclusive classrooms.
