Stability and transitions in school-aged children's physical education need satisfaction profiles : A latent transition analysis
2022
This study examined stability and transitions of school-aged children's self-determination theory-based need satisfaction profiles in physical education (PE) over three years. Participants were 1121 (girls 573, boys 548) Finnish school children. The self-report data were assessed using identical procedures from 2017 to 2020. Three latent need satisfaction profiles were identified: Low, Mid, and High need satisfactions. Transitions mainly occurred between grade 5 and 6 in elementary school, after which the profile memberships remained relatively stable. The profile memberships were not school- or PE group dependent over time. These results indicate that school-based actions to achieve a posi…
Italian Adaptation of the "Autonomy and Relatedness Coding System
2013
The study examined the applicability of the observational technique developed by Allen and colleagues (Allen, Hauser, Bell, & O’Connor, 1994; Allen, Hauser, et al., 2003) to investigate the issues of autonomy and relatedness in parent-adolescent relationship in the Italian context. Thirty-five mother-adolescent dyads participated to a task in which they discussed a family issue about which they disagree. Adolescents were also administered a self-report measure assessing their relationship with mothers. Mothers reported significantly higher levels of promoting and inhibiting autonomy, and promoting relatedness behaviors than their children. Results also suggested a partial behavioral rec…
The basic psychological needs in physical education scale in Filipino
2013
The Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale (BPNPE Scale: Vlachopoulos, Katarzi, & Kontou, 2011) is a short instrument grounded in Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000; 2002), designed to measure fulfillment of students’ basic needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness in physical education context. The Greek version of this instrument has been reported to have adequate factor structure and strong internal reliability. Instruments developed in other culture need to be examined using a sample from the target culture in order to establish its cultural utility. The primary aim of this study was to explore the factor structure, construct validity, and reliability of t…

2016
The aim of this ethnographic and autoethnographic research was to explore what kind of a learning culture existed in an 8th grade English class in a Finnish basic education school in the 2011-2012 academic year. The class was taught jointly by a subject teacher and a special education teacher. A teaching experiment was implemented with the support of co-teaching during which teachers aimed to strengthen students' learning autonomy: to support their active learning and help them act as responsible learners. The research data included participant observation notes, interviews of a subject teacher and students, and different kinds of documents produced by teachers and students during the imple…
Autonomia regionale e riforme costituzionali nella transizione del sistema politico italiano
2016
A partire dalla crisi della "Prima Repubblica", dai primi anni Novanta ad oggi, il sistema politico italiano è entrato in una lunga fase di transizione che non è ancora approdata a un nuovo assetto istituzionale e costituzionale stabile. I cambiamenti, o i tentativi di cambiamento, del sistema elettorale e partitico, del sistema di governo e del sistema statale hanno prodotto alcune parziali riforme costituzionali e varie riforme elettorali, spesso tra loro contraddittorie, ispirate, di volta in volta, da maggioranze politiche contingenti e ristrette. È in questo quadro generale che il saggio colloca l'analisi dell'autonomia regionale in Italia, per comprendere i fattori che ne spiegano l’e…
LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE: RIGHT TO A NAME, PERSONAL IDENTITY AND PRIVATE LIFE IN CONTEXT
2014
The name is the key to identify a single individual and to link a person to her family, as well as the primary interface in the relationship between a person and the community he or she lives in. This study claims that private life and private autonomy are becoming interpretative arguments and vehicles to ensure that law would be able to follow – and sometimes to chase – social changes in personal and family life, in finding new rules to regulate the relationship between the individual, the family and public authorities or between a private individual and the community she interfaces with.1 Judicial interpretative activity often reveals legislative shortcomings. In particular, the judiciary…
Il principio dell’insindacabilità della valutazione del merito creditizio alla prova dei miniprestiti emergenziali integralmente coperti da garanzia …
2022
Article 13, lett. m), of law decree n. 23/2020 introduced some measures in order to expand firm’s access to credit and counter the negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic. After providing an historical view of the italian legislation in the field of pubblic credit, the two authors argue that the aforementioned article, which in their view introduce a right to credit, is not an isolated case, given that the legislator had already introduced limits to the private autonomy of banks in presence of public subsidies. Moreover, according to the authors the duty to make credit and the limits and restrictive conditions for access to credit provided for by law exclude civil or criminal liability for un…
Why Did They Leave School? A Self Determination Theory Perspective into Narratives of Finnish Early School Leavers
2021
The present study aims to provide insights into the experiences of early school leavers within the Finnish context. We conducted a narrative inquiry among eleven early school leavers who were in prison when they were interviewed. Self Determination Theory (SDT), more specifically the concept of frustration of the three basic psychological needs of competence, relatedness and autonomy, and the tendency of people to move towards more supporting environments, was used as an interpretative tool, along with contextual information. We identified three pathways out of school, differing in the locus of need thwarting circumstances and the availability of access to transfer into a more satisfying en…
Identità e qualità di una scuola. Il valore aggiunto dell’appartenenza a una comunità
2017
Un Istituto scolastico per svolgere efficacemente il suo lavoro educativo, per autovalutarsi e per migliorare il servizio adeguandolo alle esigenze reali degli studenti deve “appartenere” a qualcuno, nel senso che ci deve essere una comunità di riferimento, caratterizzata da ideali condivisi, che veda in quell’istituto scolastico l’espansione dei suoi ideali, cioè che lo consideri lo strumento per rendere partecipi gli alunni della propria cultura affinchè la migliorino e la diffondano a loro volta. Nella Costituzione italiana sono chiaramente espressi i principi morali su cui si basa la convivenza civile nel nostro Paese e che pertanto vanno proposti a tutti i giovani affinchè li interiori…
The myth of cognitive agency: subpersonal thinking as a cyclically recurring loss of mental autonomy
2013
This metatheoretical paper investigates mind wandering from the perspective of philosophy of mind. It has two central claims. The first is that, on a conceptual level, mind wandering can be fruitfully described as a specific form of mental autonomy loss. The second is that, given empirical constraints, most of what we call “conscious thought” is better analyzed as a subpersonal process that more often than not lacks crucial properties traditionally taken to be the hallmark of personal-level cognition - such as mental agency, explicit, consciously experienced goal-directedness, or availability for veto control. I claim that for roughly two thirds of our conscious life-time we do not possess …
