Competence on RDI

1. Dominators: How can a teacher a) find research communities, b) journals suitable for publication and c) participate in the development of his/her own field? What would be the best options for your group? Also, have you already done RDI, written & published articles, innovated, visited seminars and symposiums (perhaps in the role of a speaker)? Are all journals equally valuable as a publishing platform?

2. A) EduWarriors: A) What are the current RDI –trends in your field and education? Where can one find information about them? Show examples.

2. B) Considering Finnish universities (and universities of applied sciences), how do they benefit from the publications written by their teachers?

3. Paw Patrol: What are the skills and ethical principles required in the RDI? How do you develop those skills? What about “predatory” journals and publishers (ethical point-of-view)?

(A) How can a teacher find research communities?
  • Universities
  • Online research communities
(B) Journals suitable for publishing

In publishing scientific articles, teachers should firstly see the following:

1. Scope of article
2. Whether article is an original research or systematic review or integrative review
3. Whether article is a developmental project commissioned by a body, for e.g., the EU or education
     ministry of Finland or the city where the UAS are situated
4. Teachers working in university should aim at publishing in scientifically peer-reviewed journals
    possibly with high impact factors. Impact factors can be found out from:
    scientificjournalsranking.com

Some other practical things to consider are:
· Whether the journal takes this kind of publication
· Authors should consider putting their abstract and key words in the following link

(C) How can a teacher participate in the development of his/her own field?
  • Teaching
  • Observation
  • Presentation and publication
DOMINATORS could e.g. write an auto-ethnographic report about the learning of teaching or the process of (formally) becoming a teacher; a specific focus would need to be chosen and a literature review would need to be conducted about that focus.

 EXAMPLE: BUSINESS EDUCATION RESEARCH




The link below takes you to Julkaisufoorumi where almost all decent journals worldwide are listed and classified. The classification goes from 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest). We at Uni Oulu get evaluated according to the journal classification we publish in. Hence, when choosing where to publish it is worthwhile checking what classification a journal is.

Analysing any of the sessions we had in the autumn 2018 (by referring to the recordings). Choose a session where in addition to the Adobe Connect tool some other digital tools are used. In the second session where the topic was Implementation 1 - Focus on virtual/online teaching, groups made use of Power-Point for presenting, Padlet for discussions and Mind-map for describing more of a topic. In Topic 5: Competence in Research and Development, a group made use of Digital Newsletter which is an interesting concept of presenting the topic. The digital ways of teaching will be explained below with the pros and cons that come along. Power-Point Power-Point is the most popular presentation software used in almost all sessions held in autumn 2018 as it is the easiest and more accessible methods. PowerPoint also works well in Adobe Connect by converting the PowerPoint slides into PDF when uploading in Adobe Connect. Power-Point is advantageous to use as: It is easy to creat...

Part 1 THEORY 1 Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development is about the nature and the development of human intelligence. Piaget’s theory comprises of 4 stages and they are: Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational. According to this theory, from birth to about 2 years of age, humans perceive the world through the senses (seeing, hearing, touching and smelling, grasping).  From the age of two years and older till 7 years, humans are more intuitive and represent things with words and images. Logical reasoning is absent. From the age of 7 to 11, logical thinking starts, and the development of mathematical skills evolves. After the age of 12, humans are able to reason abstractly.
