An Attempt to 27
Author’s word
Well, there are teachers and Teachers. Somehow,
I feel fortunate having had some Teachers. The work
tries to be a thank for my Teachers who made it
possible to work individually and on one’s own
account. Here they come. Professor Emeritus in
Social Psychology Kullervo Rainio who made it clear
that behavioral reseach is much a matter of ‘reading’
behavior. Professor Emeritus in Education Science
Erkki A. Niskanen who taught logical patching of
theoretic gaps. Professor Singa Sandelin who lit me
up about modern systems approach. My good late
friend Associate professor in Education Pentti
Holopainen who held me tough education in direct
observation during many years and made action
research familiar. Professor in Etology Vilmos
Csanyi who instructed me theorizing so much, in a
couple of days, I felt my studies to have been vain.
The teachers, they have been more harmers than
promoters.
