Can we increase children’s rights endorsement and knowledge?: A pilot study based on the reference framework of competences for democratic culture

2022

This pilot study is the first to examine whether a novel curriculum based on the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) could increase children’s endorsement and knowledge of children’s rights. We conducted a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention and a comparison school. Pupils (n = 172) from Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Spain attended schools in which the curriculum was taught, whereas pupils in the comparison group (n = 120) attended schools in the same city where the curriculum was not taught. Both groups were tested on their endorsement and knowledge of rights before and at the end of the intervention. Children in the intervention group incre…

Mentalizing in Organizations: A Psychodynamic Model for an Understanding of Well-Being and Suffering in the Work Contexts

2017

Moving from the paradigms of “mentalization” and “reflective function” (Fonagy and colleagues), this article develops the concept of “mentalizing” in organizations, understood as a process of construction of shared meaning in the work contexts, and whose absence or deterioration produces suffering in organizational experience, exposing individuals to significant psychosocial risks. This model converges in outlining a framework in which the absence of a reflective competence and the lack of symbolization of the experience of work fall on the perception of one's own job, and on the relationship with colleagues and management, producing unsustainability of the work experience. The availability…

Emotional intelligence in Greek teacher education : Findings from a short intervention

2021

AbstractEmotional intelligence (EI) is widely known to be crucial for professional development in education, and it is a curricular component of Greek teacher education. Still, there is little information available on student teachers’ EI. The aim of this study was to explore whether student teachers’ trait EI can be developed through a two-week, EI-focused intervention. The study followed a quasi-experimental design with a mixed method approach, using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (Greek version) (N = 42) and reflective emotion diaries (N = 19). The participants were third-year undergraduate students studying primary education and teaching at the University of C…

Accelerometer-based physical activity in need satisfaction profiles of schoolchildren: A 3-year follow-up

2023

This study examined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) trends in physical education (PE) classes and beyond school hours in children's need satisfaction profiles over 3 years. Participants were 445 (girls 256, boys 189) Finnish schoolchildren ( Mage = 11.26 ± 0.32 years). Need satisfaction self-reports and accelerometer-based MVPA data were collected in 17 comprehensive schools over four assessment phases. Four latent profiles based on the need satisfaction trends over time were found: Profiles with Large Decrease, Small Decrease, Small Increase, and Large Increase. The children with the most prominent need satisfaction decreases showed a significant decline in out-of-school MVP…

Psiholoģisko pamatvajadzību saistība ar politisko un pilsonisko rīcību un uzticešanos

2020

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas saistības pastāv starp psiholoģiskajām pamatvajadzībām (autonomiju, kompetenci attiecībām), politisko un pilsonisko piedalīšanos un uzticēšanos. Tā ietvaros tika aptaujāti Latvijas iedzīvotaji (n=88), kuri sniedza atbildes uz psiholoģisko pamatvajadzību aptauju, pilsoniskās iesaistes aptauju, Eiropas sociālās aptaujas pilsoniskās piedalīšanās skalu un tās jautājumiem par politisko un starppersonu uzticēšanos. Rezultātā tika noskaidrots, ka pastāv saistība starp pilsonisko piedalīšanos un psiholoģisko pamatvajadzību (autonomija, kompetence attiecības) apmierinātību, starp politisko uzticēšanos un politisko piedalīšanos, kā arī starp politisko un pilsoni…

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…

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…

Conciencia emocional, estados de ánimo y rendimiento académico

2017

Abstract.Emotional awareness is the basic emotional competence, which refers to individual differences in the way of being aware of the emotional functioning. Moods appear without specific reason, and are prolonged in time. Both are involved in multiple processes that modulate behavior and cognitive processes. Overall, the literature suggests a relationship between these variables and academic performance in school, however, is a contentious issue to be determined. The objective is to study the relationship of emotional awareness and moods academic performance. The participants were 1423 children, between 8-12 years old (M=9.88, SD=1.20), of both sexes (52.4 % girls) from Valencia. Particip…

Kształcenie badawcze w czasach globalizacji z perspektywy europejskiej

2019

This qualitative research study takes a closer look at developing competent researchers and thus building research capacity within Europe. The rapidly changing research environment driven by globalisation, internationalization, technological advancements, and the use of innovative methodologies impacts how research is designed, conducted, and reported on. We argue that the current complex research environment calls for globally competent researchers able to engage in research projects and research communities across disciplines and across geographic borders. However, there is scarce empirical evidence about research knowledge and competencies which global researchers need to conduct quality…
