Using Activity Theory in Developing Instructial Tools for Project Management Studies
2014
Competence and skills of the project manager are significant to project success. The skills needed in project managersâ work cannot be learned only by reading the books or a lecture hall; one learns them by practice. Therefore, an important challenge for educational institutions is to develop pedagogical practices that allow students to participate in working life projects and to confront real-life problems. Project-based learning (PBL) offers a model that enables students to practice the skills and competences needed in working life projects by utilizing real-world work assignments in time-limited projects. Using PBL method alone does not necessarily guarantee learning result. In order t…
How Good Is This Page? Benefits and Limits of Prompting on Adolescents’ Evaluation of Web Information Quality
2019
International audience; The present study examined adolescents' detection of features that affect the quality of Web information. In Experiment 1, participants (12-16 years old) rated the goodness/usefulness of four Web-like documents for a simulated study assignment. Each document came with an issue that potentially undermined its quality. Two documents had source-related issues (i.e., non-competent author, outdated) and two had content-related issues (i.e., topic mismatch, poor readability). Most students failed to notice the issues, including topic mismatch. The participants also produced inconsistent evaluations of topic-match, readability, author competence and currency. In Experiment …

The interplay of intrinsic need satisfaction and Facebook specific motives in explaining addictive behavior on Facebook
2014
We conducted an online survey with 581 SNS users.We developed a scale measuring SNS addiction.SNS specific motives mediate the effect of intrinsic needs on SNS addiction.People try to compensate thwarted intrinsic needs with gratifications from SNS use.Gratifications sought from SNS use can cause addictive SNS usage patterns. The present paper aims at exploring the new phenomenon of social network site (SNS) addiction and at identifying predictors of problematic SNS use. For this purpose, a scale measuring addictive behavior specifically with regard to SNS use was developed. The effects of intrinsic need satisfaction in the offline context and of SNS-specific motives on SNS addiction were t…

2019
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen, palabras clave en español e ingles Se describe cómo la mejora de la motivación escolar requiere de un marco teórico que permita establecer estrategias sencillas para guiar a los docentes en su práctica educativa.

Según este marco teórico, las formas autónomas de motivación requieren del desarrollo de tres necesidades psicológicas básicas: autonomía, competencia y relación con los demás. En el medio escolar, estas necesidades se ven favorecidas a través de contextos que fomentan l…
Predicting human performance in interactive tasks by using dynamic models
2017
The selection of an appropriate sequence of activities is an essential task to keep student motivation and foster engagement. Usually, decisions in this respect are made by taking into account the difficulty of the activities, in relation to the student's level of competence. In this paper, we present a dynamic model that aims to predict the average performance of a group of students at solving a given series of maths problems. The system takes into account both student- and task-related features. This model was built and validated by using the data gathered in an experimental session that involved 64 participants solving a sequence of 26 arithmetic problems. The data collected from the fir…
Predicting Coaches' Adherence/Dropout: A Prospective Study
2015
The objective of this study was to examine motivational variables based on self-determination theory (SDT) and positive psychology as predictors of coaches' adherence and dropout. A prospective study was performed using a sample of 286 coaches who were tracked over a two-year period. Initially coaches' motivation and psychological need satisfaction were measured; two years later they were contacted and asked if they were still coaching in their original sport. Those who did not were considered as drop-outs for the current study. Logistic binary regression analyses were performed to analyse predictors of persistence and dropout. Need Satisfaction Index (NSI), perceived competence and percei…
La investigación en Ciencias Laborales como una nueva dimensión del alumnado universitario. Una experiencia innovadora
2016
Profesorado del Grado de Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la Universitat de València, se planteó en el curso 2013-2014, y dado que la titulación había pasado de Diplomatura a Grado, la necesidad de fomentar entre el alumnado la orientación investigadora, opción hasta dicho momento difícil de desarrollar. Por eso, a través del desarrollo del proyecto de innovación en dicho curso «Medios para la difusión de resultados de investigaciones en Ciencias Laborales», se creó una web (http://inveslab.blogs.uv.es/) en la que se recogieron los resultados obtenidos del mismo, un repositorio con los medios existentes para la difusión de los resultados de investigaciones en Ciencias Laborales.
