Study of students' motivation to perform learning tasks using the educational virtual environment Silva Numerica
2022
This document presents the modalities of realization and the results of two experiments of the use of the EVE Silva Numerica with students of 1st technological STAV. It shows the impact of different scenarios of use of this EVE with regard to a scenario using a video resource on the regulation of student motivation during a teaching/learning session concerning concepts relating to forest development (environment and competition). It is based on the model developed by the self-determination theory - SDT (Deci and Ryan, 1971, 1975, 1985, 1991) and reworked by Vallerand et al. (1989) in the context of the development of the educational motivation scale (EMS), a tool on which we based our data …
Students' school performance, task-focus, and situation-specific motivation
2015
Going beyond studies of individual differences in and profiles of students' motivation, we investigated situation-specific (intra-personal) experiences of autonomous (enjoyment, interest, and task choice) and controlled (having to do, and the teacher wanting them to do a task) motivation across learning situations during one week, and how these were related to student characteristics (teacher rated academic performance and task-focus). Three-hundred and fourteen primary school students (Years 5 and 6) completed electronic questionnaires on Personal Digital Assistants, on an average of 11.2 learning episodes during a week. Multilevel Structural Equation Models provided support for a model ba…

Neurodidáctica y la implicación de emociones en el aprendizaje
2012
The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of a new discipli- ne named neurodidactics; also aims to emphasize the role that emotions play in learning. The interaction between teacher and student that is based on the cir- cular model of motivation, cognition, memory and emotions, can be organized and implemented through neurodidactics, whose main objective is to create tea- ching methodologies for an ecology of mind. This discipline is at the crossroads between neurobiology and science education since it is based on the principle that any learning process itself involves a change in the brain, in that our neural networks are affected by changes. At the same time the paper set…
MANAGEMENT OF PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR OF LATVIA

Empirical research carried out in Latvia has shown that the top risks perceived by the education sector professionals in Latvia are overloading of employees and lack of employee…
Using protection motivation theory in the design of nudges to improve online security behavior
2019
Abstract We conducted an online experiment (n = 2024) on a representative sample of internet users in Germany, Sweden, Poland, Spain and the UK to explore the effect of notifications on security behaviour. Inspired by protection motivation theory (PMT), a coping message advised participants on how to minimize their exposure to risk and a threat appeal highlighted the potential negative consequences of not doing so. Both increased secure behavior – but the coping message significantly more so. The coping message was also as effective as both messages combined, but not so the threat appeal. Risk attitudes, age and country had a significant effect on behavior. Initiatives seeking to promote se…
Make Fitness Fun: Could Novelty Be the Key Determinant for Physical Activity Adherence?
2020
The benefits of physical activity (PA) are well known and are extensively delineated in the scientific literature. Regular participation in PA, or exercise as its subset (structured, preplanned form of PA), is positively associated with numerous physical and psychological health benefits across all population subgroups (i.e., different age groups, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status) (Paterson and Warburton, 2010; Warburton and Bredin, 2017). The current PA guidelines for adults, proposed by the American College for Sports Medicine and American Heart Association (ACSM/AHA), recommend the accumulation of at least 150 min of moderate intensity aerobic PA per week (Nelson et al., 2007)…

Job preservation efforts: when does job insecurity prompt performance?
2020
PurposeWhile job insecurity generally impedes performance, there may be circumstances under which it can prompt performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine a specific situation (reorganization) in which job insecurity may prompt task and contextual performance. The authors propose that performance can represent a job preservation strategy, to which employees may only resort when supervisor-issued ratings of performance are instrumental toward securing one’s job. The authors hypothesize that because of this instrumentality, job insecurity will motivate employees’ performance only when they have low intrinsic motivation, and only when they perceive high distributive justice.Design/me…
