Beyond the Educational Context: Relevance of Intrinsic Reading Motivation During COVID-19 Confinement in Spain

2021

What role could have intrinsic motivation toward reading in an extraordinary situation like the recent confinement? This research examines the relationship between intrinsic reading motivation (IRM) and reading habits in an adult population considering types of reading (for leisure, work/study, social networks, and news), gender, and distress generated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Participants were 3,849 adults from Spain who were surveyed about their reading practices: before, during the first weeks, and after several weeks of confinement. Linear mixed effects models (LMMs) were used to analyze data. Results showed a three-way interaction between reading frequency, …

Triple life of Sports students through the prism of territory

2018

A student life comprising regular study time, coupled with investment in Sport (training or team coaching) and a few hours of salaried work, is a configuration favorable to academic success (understood as ability to get degree) in Sport studies (STAPS) at the University of Burgundy. But, against all statistical probability, students having registered without any selection in the branch campus of Le Creusot are more successful than those studying in the main campus of Dijon, despite individual characteristics similar or less favorable: in first year, emerges a territory effect. Using logistic regression models, based on various data (questionnaires of students enrolled in Sports in 2012-2013…

Pathways to higher education : social and gender influences

2018

This paper explores the extent to which educational pathways in France and Switzerland facilitate access to higher education for male and female youths from lower cultural capital backgrounds (whose parents have not experienced themselves higher education), thus being the first of their families to follow higher education. We use panel data in the two countries to analyze the access to different pathways to higher education. Our multinomial logistic regression models show two different educational pathways with regard to social reproduction and gender inequalities. In France, vocationally oriented pathways foster higher education access for women with lower cultural capital. In Switzerland …

Narratives of Spousal Support for the Careers of Men in Managerial Posts

2016

This article analyses the narratives of men managers to see how they perceive their wives' support in relation to their careers. Our aim is to focus on different forms of spousal support and explore how the support can evolve in the course of the men's careers. We are also interested in what kind of gender relations men produce when narrating their experiences of spousal support for their career. The research material comprises interviews with 29 managers who are fathers. In contrast to many previous studies, the results here suggest that spousal support is not a fixed or uncomplicated phenomenon but is constructed as various and flexible by men: negotiated , enriching and declining. The na…

Teenage Time Use and Educational Attainment in Adulthood in Finland

2021

We investigated the role of teenage everyday social ties in educational outcomes by examining the association between teenage time use and educational attainment in adulthood. The sample consisted of young people aged 10–18 from the 1979 Finnish Time Use Survey, and the same respondents’ educational attainment later in life recorded from population register data at the year of 40th birthday (n = 366 men and 393 women). We assessed the associations of time spent with the parents, on studying, leisure activities, as well as social connectedness with friends and participation in extracurricular activities, with educational outcomes. Our findings indicated that time spent with the father is pos…

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…

Dealing with risk: Gender, stakes, and probability effects

2015

This paper investigates how subjects deal with financial risk, both "upside" (with a small chance of a high payoff) and "downside" (with a small chance of a low payoff). We find that the same people who avoid risk in the downside setting tend to make more risky choices in the upside one. The experiment is designed to disentangle the probability-weighting and utility-curvature components of risk attitudes, and to differentiate settings in which gender differences arise from those in which they do not. Women are more risk averse for downside risks, but gender differences are diminished for upside risks.

Desigualdades de género en el trabajo. La brecha de género en el empleo y la distribución de las tareas de cuidado

2004

This paper focuses on the factors contributing to gender inequality in the distribution of paid work and unpaid work in homes. The European Union Household Panel for Spain is used to empirically test the relative impact of such factors and their contribution to gender inequality. Three indicators are considered: intra-household inequality in employment status, the gender gap in paid employment and the ratio between unpaid care activities and time spent in paid employment. Personal characteristics of the female partner such as age and education have a significant impact on these three indicators. Household characteristics such as the difference in income and in time devoted to caring activit…
