Achievement goal orientations and subjective well-being: A person-centred analysis

2008

Abstract This study examined whether students with different achievement goal orientation profiles differ in terms of subjective well-being (i.e., self-esteem, depressive symptoms, school-related burnout, and educational goal appraisals). Six groups of students with unique motivational profiles were identified. Observed differences in subjective well-being indicated that goals related to self-improvement and growth were positively associated with various indices of well-being, whereas avoidance tendencies and concerns with validating or demonstrating one's competence were linked with different types of adjustment problems. Findings demonstrate the importance of including measures of well-be…

Influence of the motivational climate in physical education on the intention to practice physical activity or sport

2001

This study is based on the achievement goal theory and intended to verify the effects of the motivational climate of the physical education (PE) on students' motivation, interest, and intention to practice physical activity or sport. In order to meet these objectives, 975 participants, from 13 to 18 years of age, completed the following instruments: PECCS, TEOSQ, IMI, Satisfaction Scale, and the Intention to Practice Physical Activity or Sport. The data were analyzed by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results confirmed that the mastery dimension of motivational climate has an influence, directly or indirectly, on task orientation, the three dimensions of intrinsic motivatio…

La novela gráfica como recurso didáctico en tiempos de pandemia: una propuesta intercultural para dinamizar la asignatura de Conversación del Grado e…

2022

El azote pandémico ha marcado un implacable punto de inflexión en la escena educativa. Concretamente, en la R. P. China, contexto en el que se inserta la presente experiencia, la docencia en línea ha pasado a ser la tónica de una parte significativa del profesorado hispanohablante sin opción de regreso. Dicha coyuntura, además de dificultar la enseñanza de una asignatura eminentemente comunicativa como Conversación, plantea la imperiosa necesidad de redefinir el proceso didáctico al abrazo de propuestas que, por un lado, comulguen con la identidad del alumnado meta y, por otro, estimulen su participación activa en el aula virtual. El presente artículo contextualiza y desgrana la propuesta d…

Initial French language teacher education policy in Greece and curriculum evaluation among student teachers of FLE

2015

This paper presents initial language teacher education policy adopted in Greece and describes a study which examines student teachers’ of FLE (Français Langue Étrangère) perception of their initial teacher education and its contribution to their future professional life. The sample comprised 67 student teachers in their fourth year of studies for a bachelor degree in the department of French language and literature in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Data were collected through questionnaires which included both a structured and an open-ended part. The questionnaire’s content was based on the European Profile for Language Teacher Education — a Frame of Reference (Kelly et…

Umfrage zum Training laparoskopischer Fertigkeiten in Deutschland

2016

Hintergrund: Das Training fur Laparoskopie an Simulationsmoglichkeiten wie Box-, POP- oder Virtual-Reality-Trainern verbessert nachweislich die intraoperativen Leistungen. In Deutschland ist dieses Training nicht verpflichtend in die Facharztweiterbildung integriert, muss jedoch bspw. in zertifizierten Zentren fur minimalinvasive Chirurgie bereitgestellt werden. Simulatoren sind in Deutschland von Weiterbildern und Weiterzubildenden erwunscht, jedoch laut fruheren Umfragen nicht ausreichend verfugbar. Ziel des Projekts war die strukturierte Erfassung der Moglichkeiten fur Laparoskopietraining in Deutschland sowie deren Nutzung und Finanzierung. Methoden: Es wurde eine Onlineumfrage unter Mi…

Neue Perspektiven der laparoskopischen Simulation: Vom Studententrainingslabor bis zur Stressevaluation

2008

Hintergrund: Die Anwendung eines LapSim®-Trainingsmodells im Studententrainingslabor sowie die objektive Evaluation von Stress in einem virtuellen Operations-Szenario bieten neue Perspektiven der laparoskopischen Simulation. Methodik: Im Studententrainingslabor erfolgte bei 28 Probanden am LapSim® Virtual-Reality (VR)-Simulator in einem Trainingscurriculum, bestehend aus 9 Einheiten, die Erfassung von Lernkurven laparoskopischer Basisfertigkeiten sowie komplexer Prozesse. In einem virtuellen Operations-Szenario wurde des Weiteren bei 18 Chirurgen eine Stressevaluation mittels eines Sympathikografen vorgenommen und dabei die laparoskopische Fehler- und Komplikationsrate erfasst. Hierbei konn…

Virtuelle 3-D-Laparoskopie-Simulation in der chirurgischen Aus- und Weiterbildung – Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie

2013

Hintergrund: Dem technischen Fortschritt folgend, werden im Operationssaal Module zur 3-dimensionalen Darstellung in der Laparoskopie eingesetzt. Erste Untersuchungen an Box-Trainern haben diskrepante Ergebnisse gezeigt. Fur die Virtual-Reality-Laparoskopie (VRL) fehlen Daten zur 3-dimensionalen Simulation. Material und Methoden: 5 Facharzte fur Chirurgie, 10 chirurgisch tatige Arzte in Weiterbildung und 29 Medizinstudenten fuhrten abstrakte und prozedurale Ubungen am VRL-Simulator im 2-D- und 3-D-Modus durch. Die Reihenfolge der Durchfuhrung (2-D/3-D) wurde randomisiert. Ergebnisse: Fur Arzte und Studenten zeigten sich keine signifikanten Leistungsunterschiede fur Ubungen im 2-D- und 3-D-D…

Survey On Competence and Administration of Supervisory Board Activities in German Stock-Listed Companies

2017

Abstract According to the agency theory (Jensen & Meckling 1976), it is expected that there exists a positive relationship between corporate governance and company performance which is also generally assumed in recent research (Dignam & Galanis 2016). This relationship is investigated in the study performed by the author of this paper. Two different approaches were chosen in parallel: (1) quantitative data analysis, based on financial figures and corporate governance variables, and (2) a survey of supervisory board members of listed German companies. This paper is about the results of structured interviews with 30 supervisory board members. The survey confirms that corporate governa…

Breeding-related seasonal changes in immunocompetence, health state and condition of the cyprinid fish, Rutilus rutilus, L.

2003

Seasonal changes in immunocompetence are predicted by the hypothesized trade-off between reproduction and self-maintenance, whereby immune function is a measure of self-maintenance and reproductive effort is seasonally dependent. We examined seasonal patterns in immunological, haematological and body condition parameters for male and female freshwater fish. In two different populations, the relative size of the spleen and the chemotaxic migration activity of head kidney granulocytes decreased immediately before and after spawning, respectively. Those decreases were accompanied by an increase in haematocrit values shortly before and after spawning in both populations and a decrease in the re…
