6th graders' skills in different areas of English : a comparison between the students' and teachers' opinion

2014

Itsearviointi on tärkeässä roolissa oppimisessa ja opettamisessa, ja itsearviointi sisältyy nykyään opetussuunnitelmaan alakoulussa, sillä omien taitojen tuntemuksen on osoitettu lisäävän oppimisen tuloksia. Itsearviointiin voi linkittää metakognition, joka on oman osaamisen ja kykyjen hahmottamista ja niiden hyväksikäyttöä. Sekä oppimisessa että itsearvioinnissa on eroja sukupuolten välillä, ja näitä eroja olisi hyvä tutkia, jotta tuloksia voisi käyttää hyväksi opettamisessa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää eroja eri kielen osa- alueiden välillä (lukeminen, kirjoittaminen, kuunteleminen, puhuminen) - onko jossain alueessa vahvemmin näkyvissä metakognitiiviset oppimistaidot, ja on…

Selkäydinvammaisten henkilöiden toimintakyvyn itsearviointi Suomessa

2021

Selkäydinvamma vaikuttaa laajasti arjessa toimimiseen sekä muihin elämän eri osa-alueisiin. Selkäydinvammaisten henkilöiden toimintakykyä ei ole tutkittu Suomessa laajasti. Selkäydinvammaisille kohdennettujen toimintakykymittareiden valikoima on suppea ja niiden pätevyys vaihtelee. Selkäydinvammaisen henkilön toimintakyvyn itsearviointimittari (The Spinal Cord Independence Measure- Self Report: SCIM-SR) on kehitetty tarkastelemaan juuri selkäydinvammaisten henkilöiden toimintakykyä selkäydinvammaan liittyvissä asioissa. Mittari painottuu fyysisen toimintakyvyn ulottuvuuksiin. SCIM-SR-mittari pisteyttää toimintakykyä siten, että 100 pistettä on maksimi ja samalla paras toimintakyky. Kolmen a…

Personality assessment and self-other rating agreement : moderators and implications of agreement

2017

One essential aspect of personality test validation is to estimate the magnitude of self-other agreement of personality ratings. In this method, external observers form their personality judgements of the target person. The self-other agreement coefficients obtained provide approximations of the validity of the measure used. The magnitude of self-other agreement on personality has also proven to be useful in explaining real-life criteria, such as managerial performance. The main aim in this research was to study self-other agreement of personality ratings in various organizational contexts. First, the overall magnitude of self-other agreement was examined in a personnel selection sample; se…

Integrating Self-Reports and Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Measurement in Studying Emotions in Professional Learning

2022

Studies on emotions in learning have been mostly conducted through self-reporting questionnaires and interviews conducted after the learning situation, which seldom focus on professional workplace learning. Meanwhile, workplace and professional learning research has been introduced with emerging methods to capture the learning processes at multiple levels. Previous research on emotions has suggested that self-reports should be supplemented with psychophysiological data. Challenged by this, this chapter aims to present and discuss the integration of self-reported and psychophysiological data in studying emotions and professional learning. The empirical research data are obtained from five Fi…

Self‐control and health‐related behaviour : The role of implicit self‐control, trait self‐control, and lay beliefs in self‐control

2019

Objectives: We tested unique contribution of trait self‐control, implicit self‐control, and lay beliefs in self‐control beliefs to the prediction of health‐related behaviours. We also tested whether relations between trait self‐control and health‐related behaviour, and between implicit self‐control and health‐related behaviours, were moderated by self‐control beliefs. Design: Cross‐sectional, correlational. Methods: Students (N = 176) completed self‐report measures of trait self‐control, lay beliefs that self‐control is limited or non‐limited, non‐planning, participation in health‐related behaviours (impulsive eating, impulsive drinking, exercise avoidance, watching diet, alcohol consumptio…

Being active in pregnancy : Theory-based factors associated with physical activity among pregnant women

2019

Although regular physical activity is recommended for pregnant women, compared to pre-pregnancy, antenatal physical activity often reduces or ceases completely. Drawing from the theory of planned behavior, self-determination theory, and theory on self-control, we aimed to test an integrative model of physical activity in a sample of pregnant women. The current study was conducted in Brisbane, Australia, in 2014–2015 using a prospective-correlational design with a one-week follow-up. Participants (N = 207, Time 1; Meanage = 30.03 years, SDage = 4.49 years) completed an initial survey measuring: intrinsic motivation from the self-determination theory, social cognitive constructs from the theo…

Many-particle theory for time-dependent quantum transport in nanostructures

2012

During the recent decades, molecular electronics has established its place as one of the promising fields in the nanoscience. The possibility to manufacture and control molecular junctions where single molecules are squeezed between the conducing electrodes has opened up new possibilities to develop nanoscale devices which could be employed as building blocks for future nanoelectronic applications. The driving force for this new branch of physics has been the experimental advances but also theoretical methods have been under intensive study and many theoretical tools have been developed to understand the electron transport processes in the nanoscale systems. This thesis focuses on developin…

The role of daily autonomous and controlled educational goals in students’ academic emotion states: An experience sampling method approach

2018

The present study examines antecedents of university students' academic emotions (Pekrun, Goetz, Titz, & Perry, 2002) in the context of self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985; 2000), using realtime assessment and intra-individual analyses. We investigated whether daily autonomous and controlled-motivated educational goals predicted students' academic emotions. University students (N = 55) completed smartphone diaries over 14 consecutive days. The two-week intensive longitudinal data were organized in a hierarchical three-level structure, with situations (Level 1) nested within days (Level 2) nested within students (Level 3). Students' goal motivation was assessed in morning quest…

Student intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity: The interplay of task-involving climate, competence need satisfaction and psychobiosoc…

2018

Grounded in achievement goal theory and basic psychological needs theory, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of the interaction of perceived motivational climate in physical education with psychological needs satisfaction (relatedness, competence and autonomy) and psychobiosocial states on student intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity. Participants ( N = 470 Italian students, 287 boys and 183 girls, aged 16–19 years) completed the Teacher-Initiated Motivational Climate in Physical Education Questionnaire, the Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale in Physical Education, the Psychobiosocial States Questionnaire, and a measure of intention to engage in leisure-tim…
