Students’ Perceptions of Instructional Rubrics in Neurological Physical Therapy and Their Effects on Students’ Engagement and Course Satisfaction
2021
One of the main challenges faced by physical therapy (PT) students is to learn the practical skills involved in neurological physical therapy (PT). To help them to acquire these skills, a set of rubrics were designed for formative purposes. This paper presents the process followed in the creation of these rubrics and their application in the classroom, noting that students perceived them as valid, reliable, and highly useful for learning. The perception of the validity and usefulness of the rubrics has different closely related dimensions, showing homogeneous values across the students´ sociodemographic and educational variables, with the exception of dedication to studying, which showed a …
Validation of the swimming competence questionnaire for children
2020
Two studies were employed to test the reliability and validity of the Swimming Competence Questionnaire (SCQ) among primary school children. Study 1 was a cross-sectional survey in 4959 primary school children. Study 2 was a pre-post-test quasi-experiment among 1609 primary school children who underwent a 20-lesson learn-to-swim programme. In Study 1, exploratory structural equation modelling revealed excellent goodness-of-fit and scale reliability for a two-factor model comprising distance and skill factors, which supported the construct and convergent validity. SCQ scores were significantly and positively correlated with swimming outcomes (i.e., self-efficacy, intention, swimming frequenc…
Daudzdimensionālas personības aptaujas izstrāde un validizācija Latvijas pieaugušo izlasē
2014
Promocijas darba: Daudzdimensionālas personības aptaujas izstrāde un validizācija Latvijas pieaugušo izlasē Anotācija Promocijas darba ietvaros triju empīrisko pētījumu rezultātā tika izstrādāts daudzdimensionāls personības mērījuma instruments - Latvijas Personības aptauja (LPA-v3). Ar tās palīdzību var novērtēt sešus plašus personības faktorus: neirotismu, ekstraversiju, apzinīgumu, labvēlīgumu, atvērtību pieredzei un godīgumu-pieticību un četras personības iezīmes katrā faktora ietvaros. LPA-v3 uzrāda augstu iekšējas saskaņotības un retesta ticamību personības faktoru līmenī un apmierinošu līdz labu ticamību – apakšskalu līmenī. Ir apstiprināta LPA-v3 validitāte, ieskaitot faktoriālo val…
Miten lastenhoidon ratkaisuja saa perustella? : vanhempien puhetta 1-2-vuotiaan lapsensa hoitoratkaisuista
2018
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, miten vanhemmat jäsentävät ja perustelevat alle kaksivuotiaan lapsensa hoitoratkaisuja. Vanhempien haastatteluista tunnistettiin kolme puhetapaa, jotka tarjoavat toisistaan eroavan näkökulman lapsen hoitoratkaisun perusteluksi. Vanhempien tapa käyttää näitä diskursseja – ”vanhemman hyvinvointi”, ”lapsen paras” ja ”rahapuhe” – osoittaa, kuinka kulttuurisesti ja moraalisesti latautuneesta valinnasta lapsen hoitojärjestelyissä on kyse. Valintaan liittyvät pohdinta ja näkemykset siitä, mitä on hyvä vanhemmuus ja millaista hyvä lapsuus. peerReviewed

Lost in translation : implementing personal assistance in an East Asian context
2023
Since 2012, Taiwanese citizens with disabilities have been entitled to personal assistance from local authorities. To explore current features of personal assistance and barriers to its implementation, and distinguish it from homecare services, 33 disabled people and 12 staff members representing 10 local authorities in Taiwan were interviewed. Findings indicate that disabled people prefer personal assistance to homecare and perceive that relationships with their families have improved since the availability of personal assistance. However, many users’ needs are unmet due to insufficient hours of service and costly co-payments. Results also show that development of personal assistance has b…
Äitien luottamuksen rakentuminen kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen aloituksessa
2020
Vanhempien ja kasvattajien kasvatusyhteistyön sujuvuus heijastuu siihen, millaiseksi varhaiskasvatuksen aloitus muodostuu lapsen kokemuksena. Parhaimmillaan yhteistyön alkuvaihe tukee luottamuksen rakentumista vanhempien ja kasvattajien välille. Tässä artikkelissa kiinnostus kohdistuu luottamuksen rakentumisen prosessiin äitien näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemme miten luottamus kasvattajiin varhaiskasvatuksen instituutiossa rakentuu äitien puheessa heidän pohtiessaan lapsensa ensi kuukausia varhaiskasvatuksessa. Teoriasidonnaisen sisällönanalyysin tuella tutkimme, onko puheesta löydettävissä Rempelin, Holmesin ja Zannanin (1985) kuvaamia luottamuksen rakentumisen tasoja. Aineistona ovat viiden noi…
Multimodal Aposematic Defenses Through the Predation Sequence
2021
Aposematic organisms warn predators of their unprofitability using a combination of defenses, including visual warning signals, startling sounds, noxious odors, or aversive tastes. Using multiple lines of defense can help prey avoid predators by stimulating multiple senses and/or by acting at different stages of predation. We tested the efficacy of three lines of defense (color, smell, taste) during the predation sequence of aposematic wood tiger moths (Arctia plantaginis) using blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) predators. Moths with two hindwing phenotypes (genotypes: WW/Wy = white, yy = yellow) were manipulated to have defense fluid with aversive smell (methoxypyrazines), body tissues with a…
Transparency reduces predator detection in mimetic clearwing butterflies
2019
International audience; Predation is an important selective pressure and some prey have evolved conspicuous warning signals that advertise unpalatability (i.e. aposematism) as an antipredator defence. Conspicuous colour patterns have been shown effective as warning signals, by promoting predator learning and memory. Unexpectedly, some butterfly species from the unpalatable tribe Ithomiini possess transparent wings, a feature rare on land but common in water, known to reduce predator detection.We tested if transparency of butterfly wings was associated with decreased detectability by predators, by comparing four butterfly species exhibiting different degrees of transparency, ranging from ful…
