The significance of the ambulatory schools in Finnish educational history

Participating the "Days of History of Education" in Jyväskylä. This year's theme, "150 years of teacher training", celebrates the University of Jyväskylä's 150th Anniversary. The first Finnish-speaking teacher training college, Jyväskylä Teacher Seminary, was established in 1863 by Uno Cygnaeus.
 
My presentation concentrates on the significance of the ambulatory schools and teachers in the educational history of the remote rural areas in Finland. I have also written an article of this theme. It has been published in a new book of the Nordic Centre of Excellence NordWel: Education, state and citizenship (2013).


 

Kiertokouluista Kasvatuksen historian päivillä

 
Osallistun Jyväskylän yliopistossa alkuviikosta järjestettäville Kasvatuksen historian päiville. Päivien teemana on opettajankoulutus. Jyväskylässä opettajia on koulutettu jo 150 vuotta, aina opettajaseminaarin ajoista saakka.

Tämänpäiväisen esitelmäni aiheena on kiertokoulujen merkitys kansanopetuksen järjestämisessä 1800-luvun loppupuolen keskisuomalaisella maaseudulla. Olen tarkastellut aihetta laajemmin hiljattain ilmestyneessä artikkelissani "From religious instruction to school education: elementary education and the significance of ambulatory schools in rural Finland at the end of the 19th century". Se on julkaistu pohjoismaisen NordWel-huippuyksikön uudessa julkaisussa Education, state and citizenship (2013).

New Publication: Elementary Education and Ambulatory Schools in Rural Finland

In a recent article ‘From religious instruction to school education: elementary education and the significance of ambulatory schools in rural Finland at the end of the 19th century’ I have examined the significance of the ambulatory schools and teachers in the educational history of the remote rural areas in Finland.

My article has been published in a new book: Buchardt, Mette, Markkola, Pirjo & Valtonen, Heli (eds.), Education, state and citizenship. NordWel Studies in Historical Welfare State Research 4. Helsinki: The Nordic Centre of Excellence NordWel, 2013.
