The learning materials on Suomi.fi have been designed for the teaching of social studies in lower secondary school and in upper secondary studies. They can also be used, at the teacher's discretion, in preparatory instruction and lower secondary education for adults, general upper secondary education for adults, integration training for immigrants, and in teaching the subjects of common units in vocational education and training. The materials also contain a cross-subject perspective.
The Suomi.fi Web Service is a continuously evolving and actively maintained official website the use of which can be considered a modern civic skill. The materials help pupils learn to use appropriate and reliable sources when they look for information on the services provided by authorities as well as information on their rights and obligations. Some of the assignments are traditional classroom assignments while others are more extensive project entities. Some of the assignments also utilise the pupils’ own textbooks or other online services.
Select suitable assignments and transfer them to your school’s learning platform. This way, the pupils work on a familiar platform, but the instructions or links to the assignments prompt them to search for information on the Suomi.fi Web Service. You can also modify the assignments and use them in your teaching as you see fit.
