‘I was excited to train, so I didn’t have problems with the coach’: dual career athletes’ experiences of (dis)empowering motivational climates

2019

In addition to investing in athletic development, adolescent elite athletes are expected to complete their secondary education. As a result of this expectation and the demands of sport and education, they may struggle to sustain high levels of motivation for both domains. Grounded in theoretical tenets of empowering coaching, this study sought to explore student–athletes’ perceptions of empowering and disempowering motivational climates and their possible implications for athletes’ dual career experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Finnish student–athletes, and the data were thematically analysed. The analysis indicated that a majority of the athletes had experiences…

Dual Information Systems: Supporting Organizational Working and Learning by Making Organizational Memory Transparent

1999

The conceptual design of most computer-based information systems reflects a dualism of technology. During the development phase, part of the work-domain-related knowledge is formalized and encoded in the software, making it difficult for users to reflect on and use this knowledge. This design--use dualism contributes to the deterioration of the interpretive flexibility of information systems. In this article, we outline an information systems architecture called Dual Information Systems (DIS) that incorporates the concepts of an organizational memory information system (OMIS) in a broader framework. DIS help bridge the design--use dualism by providing organizations with a set of services th…

Redesigning Computer-Supported Work Processes with Dual Information Systems: The Work Process Benchmarking Service

1999

The conceptual design of most computer-based information systems reflects a dualism of technology. During the development phase, part of the work-domain-related knowledge is formalized and encoded in the software, making it difficult for users to reflect on and use this knowledge. This design/use dualism contributes to the deterioration of the interpretive flexibility of information systems. We propose an information systems architecture called Dual Information Systems (DIS) that helps bridge the design/use dualism by providing organizations with a set of services that enable and reinforce both effective, institutionalized working and the questioning and (re)construction of computer-support…

Is it a tool or a toy? How user's conception of a system’s purpose affect their experience and use

2019

The boundary between hedonic and utilitarian information systems has become increasingly blurred during recent years due to the rise of developments such as gamification. Therefore, users may perceive the purpose of the same system differently, ranging from pure utility to pure play. However, in literature that addresses why people adopt and use information systems, the relationship between the users conception of the purpose of the system, and their experience and use of it has not yet been investigated. Therefore, in this study we investigate the interaction effects between users’ utility-fun conceptions of the system and the perceived enjoyment and usefulness from its use, on their post-…

Lev Vygotskin ihmiskäsityksen perusteista

2013

Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää kasvatuspsykologi ja filosofi Lev Vygotskin ihmiskäsityksen filosofisia perusteita ja sen keskeisiä piirteitä. Lisäksi tavoitteena on esitellä hänen tuotantonsa loppuvaiheen kehitystä ja keskeneräiseksi jäänyttä teoriaa tunteista. Tavoitteena on selvittää, millä tavalla Vygotskin tieteenfilosofiset periaatteet mutta myös aikakauden ideologiset tavoitteet näkyvät hänen ajattelussaan. Vygotski jätti jälkeensä monipuolisen tuotannon, joka on kuitenkin kärsinyt käännösongelmista ja valikoidusta käytöstä. Tuotannon tarkastelussa aukkoja on sekä kulttuurihistoriallisen teorian merkityksen analyysissä että lopputuotannon tulkinnassa. Tutkielmani aineistona ovat m…

Problemas de la causalidad mental: el nuevo dualismo

2013

Llamamos “causalidad mental” la influencia de nuestros estados y procesos mentales sobre nuestra conducta. Como es sabido, el dualismo cartesiano no logró dar cuenta de la causalidad mental. Pero la causalidad mental desempeña un papel crucial en nuestras vidas. El trabajo se centra en la causalidad de los estados mentales intencionales. Tras presentar las dificultades con la causalidad mental con las que (un tanto paradójicamente) se enfrentan las versiones modernas del materialismo, conjeturo que, en l base de estas dificultades, hay una nueva forma de dualismo, de tipo materialista, un dualismo entre un órgano corporal, el cerebro, y el resto del cuerpo. Este dualismo sostiene dos tesis …

Exploring the Life Form of a Student Athlete Afforded by a Dual Career Development Environment in Finland

2020

The current paper introduces a case study conducted in one of the most well-established athletic talent development environments in Finland, with the focus on the environment’s ecological dynamics and organizational culture, in light of its recent effort to rebrand itself as a dual career development environment. Our analysis has been inspired by the holistic ecological approach and ecological dynamics, wherein the authors have considered a dual career development environment from the point of view of its transactions with agentic individuals and affordances for student athletes in the study domain, the sports domain, and the private domain. The authors believe our findings can provide othe…

Exploring the conditions of English language education through the experience of Eritrean Sophomore English language learners and teachers

2023

This study addresses the little studied context of English language education in Eritrea. Despite the teaching of English as a subject and the forward-looking mother tongue policy implemented in Eritrean elementary education, Eritrean students struggle to cope with English as the medium of instruction from the start of junior school to the end of tertiary education. This qualitative study analyses sixteen sophomore student interviews and six teacher interviews to critically explore the conditions of English language education in Eritrea. Using an ecological perspective, the findings from this study highlight how the affective, didactic, study and linguistic conditions interrelate with one a…
