00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:21.110
Introduction

4
00:00:21.110 --> 00:00:25.550
I am Minna Nykopp and I was
responsible for enacting the

5
00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:28.470
course on the Moodle learning platform.

6
00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:33.360
And I will support your online
learning during this course.

7
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.760
I work as a university teacher at the 
Open University of the University of Jyväskylä.

9
00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.140
Hey. I am Mikael Risku and I am responsible
for the contents and pedagogy of the

10
00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:50.250
course on educational leadership
together with Panu Forsman.

11
00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:54.110
I work as the Head of the
Institute of Educational Leadership

12
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:57.170
at the University of Jyväskylä.

13
00:00:57.170 --> 00:01:00.010
Hey. I am Panu Forsman.

14
00:01:00.010 --> 00:01:05.250
I work as a university teacher at the
Institute of Educational Leadership.

15
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:11.559
My main responsibility is the specialisation
in Educational Leadership in the International

16
00:01:11.559 --> 00:01:17.340
Master's degree programme of our
Faculty of Education and Psychology.

17
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.800
This course is the first of 
the five Education in Finland - 

18
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:28.440
Learning for Life MOOC's, 
exploring the Finnish education system.

19
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.740
It is suitable for everyone
interested in Educational Leadership.

20
00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:39.400
In this course, you will gain insights and
learn about Educational Leadership research

21
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:44.960
and practices in the Finnish
context and education system.

22
00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:50.780
Including this brief introductory, there
are, in all, six themes for this course.

23
00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.630
We will start with looking at the
concept of Educational Leadership

24
00:01:54.630 --> 00:01:59.080
in Finland, continue with
Finnish educational policy.

25
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:05.980
And then, focus on how the Finnish 
education system has evolved into what it is today.

26
00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:11.440
And on what we expect it 
to be like in the near future.

27
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.780
After this, we will present the Finnish
education governance system, before we close

28
00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:26.220
the course by summarising and
synthesising the main points in theme 6.

29
00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:30.270
There are no pre-requirements
for this course.

30
00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:34.910
But we would like you to keep an open
mind and reflect your own understanding

31
00:02:34.910 --> 00:02:39.940
of education, learning
and schooling arrangements.

32
00:02:39.940 --> 00:02:45.280
When reading general descriptions
of leaders and leadership, it swiftly

33
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:52.080
becomes apparent that both
serve as an engine for change.

34
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.520
Educational leaders are in
a position where they can

35
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.400
support change and transformation.

36
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.410
Or they can hinder it and
keep up the status quo.

37
00:03:04.410 --> 00:03:14.210
Leadership does not, however, take place
in a vacuum, or just enact by leaders.

38
00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:21.260
Educational leadership is carried out
in specific social and cultural contexts.

39
00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:25.620
In short, education is part of society.

40
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:29.770
And education policies
direct our endeavours.

41
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:33.513
In its own context, 
Educational Leadership really focuses

42
00:03:33.513 --> 00:03:39.613
on two concepts and questions:
1. What is education?

43
00:03:39.613 --> 00:03:42.840
2. What is Leadership?

44
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.220
We apply the Institute of
Educational Leadership 

45
00:03:46.220 --> 00:03:50.140
Integrative Learning approach 
in this course.

46
00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:56.560
As presented in slide three in the
handout, we think that each participant

47
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.280
of this course has his or her
own sociocultural context.

48
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.080
With the course, we aim at creating
a dialogue to support you to develop

49
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.950
your professional identity,
expertise and agency.

50
00:04:12.950 --> 00:04:18.790
For this dialogue, we will
provide research-based information.

51
00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:24.330
Your role is to reflect on this,
based on your past, present and future

52
00:04:24.330 --> 00:04:29.570
experiences, and then
contextualise all in your practise.

53
00:04:29.570 --> 00:04:34.290
Hence, we will also apply the
flipped classroom pedagogy.

54
00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:38.650
We ask you to study the slides
in the handout and possible

55
00:04:38.650 --> 00:04:42.650
other material, prior
to watching the videos.

56
00:04:42.650 --> 00:04:48.240
The videos we have prepared so
that they work also as podcasts.

57
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.560
If you prefer to take a walk
while enjoying them, we wish

58
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.500
you a pleasant and fruitful time with us.

59
00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:58.036
Warmly welcome to the course.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.700
