The developmental dynamics of task-avoidant behavior and math performance in kindergarten and elementary school
2012
Besides cognitive factors, children's learning at school may be influenced by more dynamic phenomena, such as motivation and achievement-related task-avoidant behavior. The present study examined the developmental dynamics of task-avoidant behavior and math performance from kindergarten to Grade 4. A total of 225 children were tested for their arithmetic skills in kindergarten and in Grades 1, 2, and 4 of elementary school. Children's task-avoidant behavior in learning situations was rated by their teachers. The results of latent growth curve analyses showed that math performance and task-avoidant behavior develop in tandem: an increase in task-avoidant behavior was related to less improvem…
Learning English through video games : Finnish learners' experiences

Videopelit ovat alati kasvava populaarikulttuurin ja viihteen muoto. Videopelit ovat saavuttaneet myös akateemisen tutkimustyön mielenkiinnon mm. tietokoneavusteisen kielenoppimisen (computer-assisted language learning, CALL) ja peleihin pohjautuvan oppimisen (game-based learning) muodossa (ks. esim. Peterson, 2013; Reinhardt & Sykes, 2012). Nämä tutkimusalat keskittyvät kuitenkin videopelien ja erilaisten videopeleille ominaisten piirteiden soveltamiseen muodollisissa oppimisympäristöissä, kuten kouluissa ja muissa oppilaitoksissa. Vapaa-ajalla informaalien oppimistilanteiden kautta tapahtuvaan kielenoppimiseen kohdistuva tutkimus onkin ollut verrattain vähäisempää. Videopeleihin liittyvää…
