Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of preparatory education is to familiarise newly arrived pupils with the language of instruction and the school system so that they achieve the skills needed in attending basic education. In this paper, we introduce and examine an assessment tool, “Valu”, designed to assess newly arrived pupils’ disciplinary literacy skills in Finnish in this critical phase. We analyse assessment data and our observations from the first piloting round of the tool, to gain understanding about how primary school pupils’ literacy can be assessed in Finnish language and literature, and mathematics, and about the support the pupils need in completing the tasks. Our findings highlight the importance of teachers’ interactionist support, even though the pupils show signs of learning how to utilise the interventionist support within the Valu tool. Newly arrived pupils studying Finnish language and literature, and mathematics can be supported by recognising what kind of support they need and where. |
