Calidad de vida de los discapacitados intelectuales valorada por ellos mismos y los profesionales: variables implicadas

2016

Mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con Discapacidad Intelectual es un objetivo prioritario desde la implantación de la Ley de Promoción de la Autonomía Personal y Atención a las personas en situación de dependencia. Los profesionales y los propios usuarios no siempre coinciden en la valoración que tienen acerca de las diferentes dimensiones de que consta el constructo. Es posible que las discrepancias se deban a variables no especialmente atendidas por la investigación como el modo en que viven (vivienda tutelada, residencia o unidad familiar), o el grado de discapacidad que muestran. El objetivo de este estudio ha consistido en analizar las posibles discrepancias existentes entre l…

Promotion of learner autonomy in the EFL classroom : the students' view

2013

Oppijan autonomisuudella tarkoitetaan oppijan sisäistä kykyä hallita omaa oppimistaan, eli kykyä asettaa omia oppimistarpeita vastaavia tavoitteita, toimia näiden tavoitteiden mukaisesti, ja arvioida omaa etenemistä. Kirjallisuuden mukaan formaali opetus voi joko edistää tai ehkäistä oppijan autonomisuuden kehitystä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, missä määrin opiskelijoiden mielestä oppijan autonomisuutta edistetään lukion englannin kielen opetuksessa sekä kuinka tyytyväisiä opiskelijat ovat kokemaansa oppijan autonomisuuden edistämiseen. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin kyselylomakkeella, jonka jälkeen aineisto analysoitiin kvantitatiivisesti. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat…

Parenting Dimensions and Internalizing Difficulties in Italian and U.S. Emerging Adults: The Intervening Role of Autonomy and Relatedness

2015

The present study examined the associations between emerging adults’ perceived parental psychological control and autonomy support, and their autonomy, relatedness and internalizing difficulties in Italy and the U.S. The participants included 494 Italian and 414 U.S. college students, between 18 and 28 years of age (Mean = 21.58, SD = 2.18). Our findings showed that dependency-oriented psychological control had no significant direct associations with autonomy, relatedness or internalizing difficulties. Moreover, the association between parental autonomy support and internalizing problems was fully intervened by autonomy and relatedness, whereas the association between achievement-oriented p…

Inclusive didactics and assistive technologies: the experience of a group of special needs teachers

2018

This paper describes the results of an exploratory survey aimed to examine the experience of a group of special needs teachers on the use of ICT in teaching to students with autism spectrum disorder. It is focused on the effectiveness of video modeling as a tool through which to learn (self-learning and imitation) specific skills in the field of personal autonomy. By sharing the thought of Rossi (2012), which has stated that "digital technologies provide to school an extraordinary opportunity to put on the agenda the issue of learning and, together with it, the professionalism of teachers", the authors handed out a questionnaire to a group of special needs teachers of a Comprehensive School…

The development of teachers’ responses to challenging situations during interaction training

2014

The qualitative changes in teachers’ responses in challenging situations were analysed during a four-day Teacher Effectiveness Training (TET) course, which aimed at improving teachers’ interpersonal dynamics with pupils, parents and colleagues. The participants were 21 teachers from one elementary and 23 teachers from one secondary school attending a TET course in Finland. Qualitative abductive content analysis was used to classify the data. Frequencies based on this analysis were also looked at. After TET the teachers described the behaviour of their pupils and expressed their feelings and the actual consequences of that behaviour, instead of using generalized labels and subjective interpr…

Koululaisten fyysisen aktiivisuuden ja liikuntatunneilla koetun autonomian muutokset 7. luokalta 9. luokalle

2010

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli analysoida koululaisten fyysisen aktiivisuuden ja liikuntatunneilla koetun autonomian muutoksia 7. luokalta 9. luokalle. Lisäksi tutkittiin liikuntatunneilla koetun autonomian yhteyttä fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen. Tutkimuksen osanottajiksi valittiin 639 (tytöt = 296, pojat = 343) keskisuomalaista koululaista, jotka olivat tutkimuksen alkaessa seitsemäsluokkalaisia. Tutkimukseen osallistui 8 koulua ja 32 opetusryhmää. Pitkittäisaineisto kerättiin 2007–2009 viidellä mittauskerralla, jotta alakoulusta yläkouluun siirtymisen jälkeistä kehitystrendiä voitiin seurata. Mittaukset suoritettiin strukturoiduilla kyselyillä. Oppilaiden itseraportoitua fyysistä aktiivisuutta …

Zadovoljavanje osnovnih psiholoških potreba i autonomna motivacija u kontekstu škole: testiranje aditivne, sinergističke i hipoteze ravnoteže

2018

The present study examined the influence of the three basic psychological needs on autonomous motivation in educational settings in the light of additive, synergistic, and balance hypotheses. Participants were 679 high school students (Mage = 16.16, 49.3% girls). The findings supported the additive hypothesis: all three needs had unique effects on autonomous motivation. The synergistic hypothesis was only partially supported: one two-way interaction between autonomy and competence had effect on autonomous motivation. A high level of satisfaction of the need for autonomy led to autonomous motivation regardless of satisfaction of the need for competence. However, competence was positively rel…
