  • Learning to Teach in Finland: Historical Contingency and Professional Autonomy
    Learning to teach in Finland: historical contingency and professional autonomy Janne Säntti (University of Helsinki) & Jaakko Kauko (University of Tampere) Abstrac This chapter demonstrates how the evolution of Finnish teacher education has been gradual and not linear with a major shift towards an emphasis on research skills as the central feature of teacher knowledge. The historical phases in the evolution of teacher education, which can be characterized as normative, pedagogic and research-based are connected to Finland’s general societal trajectories and education policy developments. There has been a strong tendency towards academisation or even scientification in the Finnish teacher education agenda, which has been powered by the involvement of professors of teacher education in shaping the key policy questions with moderate political intervention over recent decades. These questions include visions of what constitutes a good or ideal teacher and what it means to teach effectively. The chapter concludes that teacher education has been searching for academic credibility to justify its position in the university, which has not previously been self-evident. I Introduction The work of Finnish teachers in primary and secondary education is framed by a national core curriculum, which is decided at the national level and based on the education providers, usually municipalities, that draw up their own local curricula. However, in Finland teachers have a rather high degree of professional autonomy. On the one hand, this autonomy derives from the lack of strong managerial techniques to control the implementation of the curriculum, such as inspection or national standardised tests (Simola et al., 2009). On the other hand, this strong teacher autonomy is a result of historical processes that have formed the current practice in which classroom knowledge is ideally built case-by-case drawing on research yet organized according to the national core curriculum.

  • 250 Years of Freedom of Expression
    THE LEGACY OF PETER FORSSKÅL In 2016, the world commemorated the sestercentennial adoption of His Majesty’s THE LEGACY OF PETER FORSSKÅL Gracious Ordinance Relating to Freedom of Writing and of the Press. The passage of the Ordinance in 1766 in Sweden – which at the time comprised today’s Sweden and Finland – was preceded by intense political and scholarly debate. Peter Forsskål put 250 Years of Freedom himself at the centre of that debate, when he in 1759 published the pamphlet Thoughts on Civil Liberty, consisting of 21 paragraphs setting out his thoughts advocating of Expression against oppression and tyranny and championing civil rights for everyone. Historical perspectives are fruitful in many respects, and this is why Forsskål’s words still resonate. But we must be careful not to use the tracks of history to create myths about today – instead anniversaries like the one concerning the Ordinance can be UllaEdited by Carlsson and David Goldberg used as a starting point for debate – to discuss our history and where we stand now in terms of freedom of expression, the right to information and freedom of the press. It was against such a backdrop that a seminar was organized as a side event, part of UNESCO’s World Press Freedom Day in Helsinki, 3 May 2016, and co-organized by the National Archives of Finland, Project Forsskal and the UNESCO Chair on Freedom of Expression, Media Development and Global Policy at the University of Gothenburg. This publication is based on that seminar. United Nations UNESCO Chair on Freedom of Expression, Educational,
