The relationships among motivational climate, perceived competence, physical performance, and affects during physical education fitness testing lesso…
2021
Despite the prominence of fitness testing in school physical education (PE), there is a sparsity of research examining the antecedents of students’ affective experiences during fitness testing lessons. This study aimed to investigate the associations among task- and ego-involving motivational climates, perceived physical competence, physical performance, enjoyment, and anxiety during two different types of PE fitness testing lessons. Altogether, 645 Finnish students from Grade 5 (50% boys, Mage = 11.2, SD = 0.36) and Grade 8 (47% boys, Mage = 14.2, SD = 0.35) participated in two fitness testing lessons with different content (lesson 1: 20-meter shuttle run test and a test of flexibility; l…
Edukacja techniczna wsparciem rozwoju małej motoryki uczniów w młodszym wieku szkolnym
2018
Sprawność manualna dziecka rozwija się w toku różnorodnych ćwiczeń i zadań ruchowych usprawniających pracę mięśni drobnych oraz koordynację oka i ręki. Od tego, jaki poziom osiągnie dziecko w tym zakresie, zależy, między innymi, przebieg procesu nauki pisania oraz wykonania wszelkich prac manualnych, jednym z zadań edukacji technicznej w przedszkolu, a także w kształceniu wczesnoszkolnym jest rozwijanie motoryki niezbędnej do prawidłowego funkcjonowania dziecka w szkole i w życiu. Proces dochodzenia do biegłości w wykonywaniu precyzyjnych ruchów jest długotrwały i uwarunkowany zarówno cechami indywidualnymi, jak też przebiegiem i intensywnością ćwiczeń w tym zakresie. Przedmiotem poniższego…
Literacy practices in two Danish-Somali families : Between training, testing and “feeding the soul”
2019
This article explores the literacy practices in two Danish-Somali families with young children. The data comes from focused ethnographic fieldwork in the families. The study is rooted in a sociocultural view of literacy, aiming at understanding how different ways of engaging with language and the written word express different beliefs and values about literacy. The study finds that school-oriented literacy training and literacy tests as well as religious practices play important roles in the everyday lives of the families. In some cases, the latter practices share similar properties with the former. The obvious and salient influence of school-like literacy practices shows that the families …

"Wojciechowym szlakiem" Gertrudy Skotnickiej na tle innych opowieści o świętym Wojciechu dla młodego czytelnika
2020
The novel Wojciechowym szlakiem [On the Trail of St Adalbert] by Gertura Skotnicka stands out from other hagiographic works about this saint not only in terms of its size, but also as far as its composition and method of presenting this character are concerned. In contrast, the works by Ewa Skarżyńska and Andrzej Hartliński do not go beyond the established genre formula. Only Anna Czerwińska-Rydel uses an original idea, implementing in her story the motif of the Gniezno Doors. The content of each bas-relief scene visible on the door constitutes a separate chapter of the book. Skotnicka also refers to this motif by mentioning its artistic value in the account of a high school student and the…

Interrelationship Between Age, Gender, and Weight Status on Motor Coordination in Italian Children and Early Adolescents Aged 6–13 Years Old
2021
Although numerous evidences reported a negative correlation between motor coordination (MC) and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, the interrelationship between age, gender, and weight status is still debatable. Hence, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between MC and weight status according to age and gender across childhood and early adolescence in a large sample of Italian elementary and middle school students. A number of 1961 Italian school students (1,026 boys, 935 girls) was stratified in three consecutive age groups (6–7, 8–10, and 11–13 years) and four weight status categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) accordi…
Non-conscious effect of food odors on children's food choices varies by weight status
2017
Open access original research (article number UNSP 16); OBJECTIVE: Food cues are omnipresent in the daily environment and may influence eating behavior even non-consciously. An increased reactivity to food cues, such as food odors, has been shown to be correlated with obesity in children. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the non-conscious influence of food odors on children's food choices varies by their weight status. METHODS: Seventy-four children, of whom 29 were obese, took part in this study. The children performed a food choice intention task presented as a computer game in which 30 pairs of food images (a fatty-sweet food picture vs. a fruit picture) successively…
Stability and variability in parents' causal attributions for their child's academic success and failure
2016
This research examined the mean-level, interindividual and intraindividual stabilities in parents’ causal attributions for their child’s performance outcomes. Parental causal attributions to ability, effort, teaching and task difficulty were studied separately for mothers and fathers. Three Finnish data sets were used. The first sample was derived from the Jyväskylä Entrance into Primary School study, in which 212 children and their parents were followed from the beginning of the first grade to the end of the ninth grade. The second sample included over 1,700 children and their parents from the First Steps study, in which the participants were followed from the beginning of the first grade …
