Effectiveness of a creative physical education intervention on elementary school students’ leisure-time physical activity motivation and overall phys…
2018
This study investigated the effectiveness of a creative physical education (CPE) intervention on students’ perceptions of motivational climate in physical education (PE), leisure-time physical activity (PA) motivation, and overall PA. A sample of 382 fourth to sixth grade students ( Mage= 10.87[.93]) from two elementary schools were assigned to the CPE intervention ( n = 196; Mage= 10.84[.95]) and control ‘PE-as-usual’ ( n = 186; Mage= 10.90[.90]) groups. Students’ perceived task- and ego-supportive climate in PE, leisure-time PA motivation, and overall PA were measured before and after the one-year intervention. Analyses of covariance and path analyses were implemented to test the effectiv…
The inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Actual Aquatic Skills Test (AAST) for assessing young children’s motor competence in the water
2021
As children’s actual aquatic skills are important for the prevention of drowning as well as their engagement in lifelong aquatic physical activity, researchers and practitioners should be able to assess this vital concept accurately and reliably. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Actual Aquatic Skills Test (AAST), consisting of 17 different test items for the assessment of young children’s motor competence in the water. Six raters received a training and evaluation session on scoring the AAST, after which five of them assessed four test videos (of various children (n = 38) performing the test items) twice, with one to t…
La cura del corpo nella storia

Analyse didactique clinique des pratiques d'enseignement et de formation: Les effets du déjà-là expérientiel sportif
2016
Cette note de synthèse s'inscrit dans la suite de mes travaux sur les filtres de l'action didactique qui questionnent le " déjà-là " des sujets. Dans le " déjà-là expérientiel ", je m'intéresse ici aux expériences corporelles importantes des sportifs et plus particulièrement à celles vécues par les professeurs d'EPS. M'appuyant à la fois sur les trois temps de la didactique clinique (le déjà-là, l'épreuve et l'après-coup) et sur une introspection, je montre combien ces expériences sportives liées à la spécialité chez les enseignants d'EPS, expériences souvent traduites en épreuves, laissent des traces profondes qui viennent structurer le rapport au corps, le rapport à soi et aux autres de c…
"Se on semmosta arkipäivää" : liikunta esiopetusryhmän kuvaamana ja toteuttamana
2012
Tiivistelmä. Saastamoinen, Anna & Sirniö, Sanna. 2012. ”SE ON SEMMOSTA ARKIPÄIVÄÄ”. Liikunta esiopetusryhmän kuvaamana ja toteuttamana. Varhaiskasvatustieteen pro gradu -tutkielma. Kasvatustieteiden laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. 120 sivua + liitteet. Tämän tutkimuksen lähtökohtana oli liikunnan vankka asema suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa, ja siihen latautuvat positiiviset merkitykset. Yhteiskunnassamme puhutaan nykyään paljon lasten liikunnan vähentymisestä, liikuntamahdollisuuksien muuttumisesta sekä ohjatun liikunnan lisääntymisestä. Liikunta on käsitteenä monimuotoinen, ja sillä on sekä itseisarvoisia että välineellisiä tehtäviä. Esiopetuksessa toteutettavalla liikuntakasvatuksella on merk…
Self-efficacy and enjoyment of physical activity in children: factorial validity of two pictorial scales.

BackgroundSelf-efficacy and enjoyment are two main constructs proposed within many motivational theories in any human endeavor, sport and physical activity included.MethodsThe purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of two pictorial scales measuring self-efficacy and enjoyment levels in a sample of 14,035 Italian schoolchildren (7,075 boys and 6,960 girls, 6- to 7-year-olds). An important feature of the two scales is that they are in a pictorial format in order to prompt a straightforward understanding in children. The whole sample was randomly split in two subsamples according to gender and age and the factor structure of the measures was examined across subsamples.Result…

Adaption and validation of the German version of the basic psychological needs in physical education scale
2013
It is important to understand students’ motivation regarding physical activity to investigate the global issue physical inactivity. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT: Ryan & Deci, 2002), which is one of the most important frameworks in explaining motivation, students need to be emotionally satisfied in order to put effort towards a certain goal. The Basic Psychological Needs Theory is one sub-theory of the self-determination theory, which explains that constructs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness need to be satisfied in all humans in order to increase well-being. It is important to understand students’ motivation regarding physical activity to investigate the global issue o…
Problem-Based Learning in Professional Studies from the Physiotherapy Students’ Perspective
2018
The aim of the study was to investigate how physiotherapy students using a problem-based learning approach develop into experts during higher education, and answers the question: How do physiotherapy students at bachelor’s level understand the problem-based learning approach while learning to become professionals? PBL is examined using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of longitudinal data written by 15 voluntary students from two different higher education institutions and collected during 3.5 years. The main results on the new way of learning strengthen earlier conceptions of the importance of reflection in the learning process. The PBL method activates a reflection process b…
INCLUSION THROUGH TRAINING AND METHODOLOGY OF ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION
2023
The theme of practicing sport for people with disabilities goes far beyond the simplification of a healthy lifestyle, but refers to complex aspects of a pedagogical, educational, social, and cultural nature that combine to outline the education and training system of future professionals in this field. This is demonstrated by the growing interest that the question has aroused in recent decades, with the issuing of supranational regulatory provisions that recall the right of all minors, without distinction, to an education capable of harmoniously involving every dimension that constitutes human being, including the education of the body; and this is highlighted by the numerous reviews of int…
