Saarinen, Aino I. L.; Lipsanen, Jari; Hintsanen, Mirka; Huotilainen, Minna; Keltikangas-Järvinen, Liisa – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Recently, the use of information and communications technology (ICT) at school has been extensively increased in Finland. This study investigated whether the use of ICT at school is linked to students 'learning outcomes in Finland. We used the Finnish PISA 2015 data (N=5037). Cognitive learning outcomes (i.e. science, mathematics, reading,…

Hähkiöniemi, Markus – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Previous studies have produced several typologies of teacher questions in mathematics. Probing questions that ask students to explain are often included in the types of questions. However, only rare studies have created subtypes for probing questions or investigated how questioning differs depending on whether technology is used or not. The aims…
