Environment are supported by student centered learning education philosophy. Finland has presented good practical examples trough Universities of Applied Science. The present paper discusses the main Finnish education guidelines applied at TAMK university, as a successful study case when the school enforces methods as project based learning, such as pro-academia and Demola. Those environments have a structure that allow teachers to promote team work and solving problems towards real solutions.

Very good paragraph, maybe will be better if the subject is more clear, because it is a little bit confuse if you are talking about environments or new educational methods or both together. So, the close paragraph is very good too, but a little bit disconnected of the sentence: What are "These environments"? The PBL, Pro-academia and Demola environments?

We hope to help a little bit.

Learn a lesson in Finland

How do I learn a lesson in Finland? Reflexion on observation class

Introduction






Methodology

In this work I will tell about mine impressions of education system in Finland trough observation a variety of classes and learning environments . Most of then happened at TAMK university of applied science of Tampere. One was at UTA, University of Tampere. One at Tampere vocational school of Tredu, Some of them are just observation of different projects as proacademy, BioHub, my-city and Cafe in Tredu.  It was observed 15 class. The research was guided by a questioner about what is important to observe in class.  I pretended to answered questions about theories of learning involves in finish class, what is the infrastructure used in class and virtually, behavior of a teacher, if he/she detains the knowledge, helps student to find, or act more as a coach guide them to work together. Notice students behavior if they trust, respect teacher, participate, make works alone and together, if they help each other, if they enjoy the class, if they are concern about what is important to learn. Methodology used by the answer of what kind of tools and methodologies teacher are using in class, as pre-study, warm up, introduction, explanation, management, form of evaluation, synthesis, learning by doing, PBL,



Result

The phisician teacher in engineering courses do a work together whit math, language teacher to students learnig by doing in a social construtive model. First class they are introduce to the work, after they are joined in groups and have to make the measurements, make a sheet and plot a graphics to show for all classmates. next day they went to other laboratory to make more measurements. The teacher first explain how to do the work and let the students do it, answer some doubts and about the  midle of the class he explain what they have to do next and  where they have take care. Language teacher....xx. Math teacher explain by using how to use computer stuff. They used excel and datas from friction experiment, they tabulated dates, made regretion analyses and have the standard deviation, to know how much they were wrong in theyr measurement and so used this knew informations to continuing building their report. they have a vrtual space with movies about the lessons, they have days to just study together and they also have regular assessement.
The language teacher in classes of English for foreign in Energy and Enviromental Engineering has also a system to make part of the class in a virtual enviromental, she use Tabula of TAMK system. She started the semester asking what is the aim of each student, what they want to improve in their English Skill. One of activities make the students meet a enterprise in their fields.
Two of the classes  observed have just the lecture of the teacher on the content in a tradicional way. One use datashow and let place to student speack and make question other just explain in a retroprojetor.

Cooperative entrepreneurship

A cooperative is a company engaging in business operations, which is owned by members of the cooperative. Some cooperatives are established for the purpose of employing their members. Setting up a cooperative does not normally require a large amount of capital, as the participation share defined by the founders is enough.
The Tampere Region Cooperative Centre is an information point for cooperative entrepreneurs. It provides up-to-date information, expert guidance and practically-oriented training related to cooperative entrepreneurship and business operations.
The Pirkanmaan Yrittäjät ry association is a joint organisation and lobbyist for entrepreneurs in the region. Its website contains information about business operations and entrepreneurship in Pirkanmaa.

Class 14: Tampere Vocational College Tredu in Kuru

We went to Kuru and we have to participate as tourists in a guide excursion to Kuru Forest.
Kuru vocational school has between 200 to 300 students. Kuru city has almost 3000 inhabitants. First students showed all school for us, the places to have class out side, in a cottage, around a bonfire, machines, even the machines used to prepared woods to be used to build cottages, one curse that take 2 weeks.

They have more them 10 vans to take the students for practical activities. They went to Russia for 9 days they think it is awesome. Also school has a building for classes and cafeteria, and has dormitory for students stay. We went in one class room full of stuffed animals.
The teacher send the students to guide us, they heve to separate wood for the bonfire. Food for us, but we also help to carry the food. The teacher also ask who could drive the cars. Who could takes the logs. And who could be with him taking others things. Once in forest we start to walk guided by one of them and when in the middle of forest the guide ask us to stay in silent to listen the forest. After a while we continued to walk until a place that they are organizing to lunch. the students starting to present themselves and the reason why they are here, amazing a lot of them came form other countries. They ask ours individual question as what they study, how much time, what they prefer and what is the minimum amount of education one have to apply in, and all the answers fit we I found after on internet. And what I like most to listen is thy need to be a business plan and contact with real work word. After we went to a spot were teacher show pictures of a migration bird that goes to brazil also it is called "maçarico bastardo" scientific name Tringa glareola. He showed us also a moss, and tell thinks about it, one of the student has already answered my question about this moss, because is spread for everywhere, her said the same as teacher it was really interesting.

Company contact (Co-op)

COMPANY CONTACTS


As part of your program you are required to familiarize yourselves with the company contacts that TAMK or any other educational institution (vocational school, univeristy)has and the kind of projects and research that is conducted in close co-operation with companies. Adapt the requirement to your own field and interests. ‘Company contacts’ can refer to working life in general. Also, you may choose some of the contacts because of your research. The focus here is on what schools do outside the school building and with the surrounding world.


Please report on 10 company contacts that you have had during this program in Tampere:
My focus is a little bit different, so I will look for cooperativas, associations and incubators or similar:


Name of company - date of contact - co-operation with TAMK - own comments

Please reflect again on what you’ve learnt about the co-oepration between schools and companies/working life in general. Explain why you chose these particular companies. How do these contacts benefit the school in your experience or opinion? What do the companies gain from the co-operation? Where’s the teacher in this process? Compare and contrast with the contacts that your school has in Brazil.

I choose to met whit cooperatives here or incubator of cooperatives nd projects at school and they do business with education.

Class 09: in BioHub

Participando do BioHub
Na manhã do primeiro dia foi feita o credenciamento, onde recebemos o material com a cor do grupo.
Após isso fomos para as apresentações, houve uma boa vinda do presidente da TAMK, após os coaches(professores) falaram, teve apresentação, nesse ponto você ainda não sabe quem é sua equipe, apenas estamos divididos em três cores um grupo laranja, um rosa, um verde/azul, a outra cor foi usada pelos coaches.
A tarde as cores foram separadas, cada um ficou com seu grupo de coaches.
Foi separada as equipes e passada uma tarefa, construir uma girafa em seis minutos que ficasse parada sozinha com jornal e fita crepe, escrever o nome dos participantes nela, a mais alta ganhava.
Depois o representante da empresa mostrou o problema, no nosso caso era usar pulper em biorefinaria.
Os grupos foram separados com seis integrantes das mais diversas áreas, um aluno de marketing, uma de engenhria química, uma de engenharia ambiental e a outra não lembro, e eu teacher for the future.
Fizemos como recomendados escolhemos os objetivos e as regras.
First we choose mains, it was win and have a good time, rules are be on schedule, listen to others and do not remember the third one, or even if  it existed. choose also leader an secretary.
So we realized no one knowing about issue, so we decided do a research along half hour, one became later and we decided they her has to make a rap and so we come back to the brainstorm. So we went on and could not have a good idea, and so day finished.
Morning of second dy, we bring knew ideas and sundelly came up the idea, and so we went to talk with the coaches, they make some questions, how did we start, Who was leader and secretary,  if we have goals and rules, and what they are, if if we have an idea, how did it come up? and if we know how to do. So we start to make presentation, in our room there are no computer, so we have to look for other place, during morning it was ok, but in afternoon is not.  So we continues doing the presentation in afternoon and in next day, before it we chat to feel how the things are. We finish the presentation and practice and ant to presentation.
After presentation we just have to wait for dinner and before dinner they say whem won.

Lignocellulosic Biomass Plant

• Fully owned (100%) by Abengoa Bioenergía S.A.
• Annual bioethanol production capacity of 1.3 Mgal from grain straw.

Managed by Abengoa Bioenergía Nuevas Tecnologías, the construction of this plant was completed in December 2008 and has been in full operation since September 2009, being the first plant in the world to operate with enzymatic hydrolysis technology at this production level. It is located within the Biocarburantes de Castilla y León plant, meaning that both facilities share common services and process chains. The ethanol produced is distilled up to 42% and then is concentrated and dehydrated.

http://www.abengoabioenergy.com/web/en/acerca_de/oficinas_e_instalaciones/bioetanol/europa/biomasa/

Abengoa Bioenergia São Luiz

• 100 % owned by Abengoa Bioenergy. 
• Installed bioethanol production capacity of 24 Mgal per year. 
• Annual sugar production of roughly 285,000 t. 
• Annual sugarcane consumption of 3 Mt.

In the months of August and September 2010 began the electricity co-generation of 70 MW, which uses sugar cane pulp, the raw material used in their own sugar and ethanol production plants. With this plant in operation, Abengoa Bioenergía Brasil adds a third important product, energy, to the sustainable development of their bioenergy businesses in Brazil.

Brazil too, starts production of second generation bioethanol

articles

Production of second generation bioethanol is taking off. In Italy (Beta Renewables), US (DSM-POET), and now also in Brazil. Here, second generation ethanol factories are an addition to first generation factories. Second generation installations process side streams like bagasse and stems to ethanol. Because of this, ethanol production may rise by 50% without any need to cultivate more land for sugar cane production.

Construction of the GranBio second generation bioethanol plant in São Miguel dos Campos.

Towards second generation bioethanol

In Brazil, two major companies start producing second generation bioethanol as a motor fuel: Raizen, already a heavyweight in the production of first generation bioethanol, and GranBio, specifically founded for second generation production in 2011. The first GranBio factory has started production in June this year, in São Miguel dos Campos in the state of Alagoas, in North-eastern Brazil. The factory has a capacity of 82 million litres per year, the investment being B$ (reais) 350 million (€ 117 million). Partly, this sum was financed by the Bank of the North-East, partly by the National bank for economic and social development BNDES, in its programs Energy and Chemical industry from sugar. In its fermentation process, the company makes use of a genetically modified yeast, approved in December 2013 by the national technical commission for biological safety, CTNBio. The use of this yeast improves the yield from biomass by 23%. After the start of operations, new investments were announced. Up to 2020 these might amount to B$ 4 billion (€ 1.3 billion). This sum would be required for the construction of ten more units for second generation bioethanol production, that would eventually produce one billion litres per year.

The goal is to develop the basic technology necessary fo

r establishing a plant where the first biodegradable plastics that are truly lignin-based can be manufactured. The industrial byproduct, lignin, for producing these plastics, will be isolated from kraft black liquor generated by a pulp mill in International Falls, Minnesota.
