FisioCovid
2021
[EN] In the study plans of the first years of the degrees in Health Sciences it is usual to include basic and general subjects that are not very motivating for students with a more specific academic profile. Specifically, in the Degree in Optics and Optometry at the University of Valencia we encountered this problem when teaching General Physiology, a subject included within the Human and Ocular Physiology subject in the first year. Based on this background, we have considered developing the “FisioCovid” project as a pedagogical tool due to its condition of general interest to the population. The objective of this teaching innovation project is is to take advantage of the media and scientif…
El descubrimiento de nuevos fármacos, concepto umbral en farmacología.
2021
[EN] The so-called “threshold concepts” are present in all areas of study. Its acquisition by the student represents a milestone in the advancement of the conceptual understanding of a subject. They are often difficult to learn, but when they are overcome they generate a reconceptualization that allows progress and deepening in the subject of study. We present an activity designed to develop a key threshold concept in pharmacology, the drug discovery process. To do this, we develop a practical laboratory project that will integrate both the extraction and search for active ingredients and the simulation of some aspects of their clinical trials in the phase I.
Gamificación como herramienta docente aplicada a las tutorías de grupo en la Educación Superior
2019
[EN] Our general objective consists in using gamification as a teaching tool in order to get a higher level of students’ involvement in the tutorials, as well as, increasing the motivation to learn Pathophysiology in the Pharmacy Degree. Not all the students groups are uniform, and also the teachers have nonconscious prejudices for each group. Hence, every student group has its own idiosyncrasy. We have the hypothesis that the game can give us really valuable information to let us develop suitable teaching techniques to enhance the motivation for each particular group. Games offers a more relaxed scenario compared to master class or exam, therefore we can ask questions as a team contest tha…
Motivations and domain specificity in intercultural adaptation : bloggers' experiences in their new host countries
2014
The current qualitative study investigates immigrant’s intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external) motivations and how they surface in the intercultural adaption process. Additionally, it aims to answer whether immigrant’s adaptation orientations differ between private and public (life) domains by testing Boski’s (2008) IAFS model [the model of integration as functional(partial) specialization]. It is a fairly recent model of adaptation and only few prior studies have utilized it. The study concentrates on voluntary migrants, individuals, who have made a personal choice to leave their homelands. In the current study naturally occurring data in a form of weblogs were utilized as research d…

The relationship between motivation and the Internet
2009
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa kuinka vahvasti Internetin vaikutus näkyy nykynuorten motivaatiossa, taidoissa ja asenteissa englannin kieltä kohtaan. Motivaatiota ja Internetiä on tutkittu suhteellisen paljon, mutta enimmäkseen erikseen. Aikaisempia tutkimuksia tähän aiheeseen liittyen löytyy täten erittäin vähän. Tutkimus on toteutettu kyselylomakkeella, johon vastasi 21 oppijaa erään lukion viidenneltä englannin kielen kurssilta. Lomake sisälsi sekä monivalinta- että avoimia kysymyksiä. Tutkimus oli määrällinen siitä syystä, että tulosten haluttiin olevan edes hieman yleistettäviä. Laadullinen tutkimus olisi vaatinut paljon laajamittaisempaa tutkimusta, johon tämän työn …
Control Motivational System
2016
In this chapter, the concept of control is presented using historical and contemporary literature. This overview presents compelling evidence that shows the importance of control in motivational science. The basic need for control is further analysed in the three all-embracing life domains: mastering environmental cues where the need for achievement is prominent, balancing interpersonal relations leading to the emergence of the need for power and managing the intra-personal processes resulting in employment of the various self-strategies. The chapter closes with the argumentation that all the presented evidence in the different life domains strongly suggests the existence of one unifying mo…
Affiliation Motivational System
2016
In this chapter, the concept of affiliation is presented as a general human disposition and basic motivation. The wide range of affiliative motives is analysed in the realms of interpersonal and group dynamics. Needs on the interpersonal level include attachment, intimacy and love, while the group dynamic is analysed in terms of in-group and inter-group relations. It is argued that all needs in the realm of interpersonal and group relations are interrelated and imply the existence of the larger underlying belonging motivation. Furthermore, the chapter also postulates that the conceptualisation of the human need for belonging should also include the need for distance and, in this way, should…
