Role of acetaldehyde in alcohol addiction: current evidence and future perspectives
2011
The effects of alcohol have been widely studied during the past century, corroborating the idea that this tiny chemical compound acts throughout most of our neurotransmitter systems since it is capable of inducing addictive behaviour. Two of the most serious problems of alcohol addiction are craving and relapse; several studies have demonstrated that relapse is related to the anxious state which occurs during withdrawal, and it has been proved that this behavioural modifications results from an alteration of the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. An important role in the neurobiology of alcohol addiction is played by acetaldehyde (ACD), ethanol first metabolite. Our recent studies indee…
Motivational predictors of students' participation in out-of-school learning activities and academic attainment in science : An application of the tr…
2018
Abstract Given the shortfall in students studying science, promotion of motivation and engagement in science education is a priority. The current study applied the trans-contextual model to study the motivational predictors of participation in science learning activities in secondary-school students . In a three-wave design, secondary-school students completed measures of perceived autonomy support, autonomous and controlled motivation, social-cognitive beliefs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control), intentions, and self-reported participation in out-of-school science learning activities. Five-weeks later, students self-reported their science learning activities. Students' science…
The interplay between maternal homework involvement, task-avoidance, and achievement among adolescents.
2021
This study examined three aspects of maternal homework involvement (i.e., the quantity, quality, and source of initiative) and their direct and indirect associations with adolescents’ task-avoidant behavior in homework situations and academic achievement. The sample consisted of Finnish mothers and their adolescents who were transitioning from primary to lower secondary school. Mothers rated the quantity of their homework involvement (i.e., monitoring and help), quality of their homework involvement (i.e., autonomy support and psychological control), and source of initiative (i.e., mother- vs. adolescent-initiated monitoring and help) at the beginning of Grade 6. They also reported on adole…
Motivational sources of practical nursing students at risk of dropping out from vocational education and training
2019
The aim of this study was to contribute to the understanding of the reasons for low or high academic motivation among practical nursing students at risk of dropping out from vocational education and training. The research data consisted of semi-structured interviews with 14 Finnish students, which were analysed by qualitative content analysis. The analysis identified six motivational sources. Two of these sources – Responsible agency and Completing out of necessity – were related to engagement in studying, whereas two other sources – Exhaustion from learning challenges and Tight-roping between competing responsibilities – were related to disengagement from studying. Emotional drive and Soci…
Kids Inspire Kids for STEAM
2017
Abstract The goal of the Kids Inspiring Kids in STEAM (KIKS) project was to raise students' awareness towards the multi- and transdisciplinary connections between the STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics), and make the learning about topics and phenomena from these fields more enjoyable. In order to achieve these goals, KIKS project has popularized the STEAM-concept by projects based on the students inspiring other students-approach and by utilizing new technologies, tools, open educational resources, and everyday items and materials. Through the students-inspiring-other-students-approach, we have aimed to get participating students developing STEAM activitie…
Individual Creativity and Career Choices of Pre-teens in the Context of a Math-Art Learning Event
2021
A sample of 392 students (aged 12-13 years, M± SD: 12. 52% girls) completed a learning module integrating informal hands-on mathematics and arts activity (extending STEM to STEAM). Within a 140 minute workshop period participants worked with commercially available ‘4Dframe’ Math and STEAM learning toolkits to design and create original, personal and individual geometrical structures. Two science pedagogues acted as tutors supervising the process and intervened only when needed. A pre-/post-test design monitored individual creativity, relative autonomy, and career choice preference. Path analysis elaborated the role of creativity (measured with two subscales: act and flow), and it showed tha…
"No kyllä se on tosi iso osa... et se on se englannin ja ruotsin ero" : språklärarnas tankar och erfarenheter gällande elevers motivation på högstadi…
2017
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia ajatuksia ja kokemuksia kieltenopettajilla on koskien yläasteikäisten oppilaiden opiskelumotivaatiota sekä heidän motivoimistaan. Lisäksi selvitettiin, mitkä tekijät erityisesti vaikuttavat motivaatioon ja millaisia haasteita motivointiin liittyy kieltenopiskelun yhteydessä. Tuloksia analysoitiin kvalitatiivisesti. Materiaali koostui kahdeksan Keski-Suomessa työskentelevän ruotsin- ja englanninopettajan haastatteluista. Haastattelut olivat puolistrukturoituja teemahaastatteluja ja ne toteutettiin kevään 2017 aikana. Haastatteluiden kesto vaihteli puolesta tunnista tuntiin. Haastatellut olivat eri-ikäisiä miehiä ja naisia, ja myös heidä…
The importance of psychological variables in the perceived exertion of young football players
2017
Las escalas para medir la percepción del esfuerzo están entre los métodos que han sido utilizados para el control y la evaluación de la carga interna del entrenamiento en deportes de equipo como el fútbol. Debido a su naturaleza psicofisiológica, su registro proporciona información proveniente tanto de indicadores fisiológicos como psicológicos del deportista. Dentro del marco de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (SDT, Self Determination Theory; Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017) y de la Teoría de las Metas de Logro (AGT, Achievement Goal Theory; Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989), en esta tesis doctoral se estudian tanto las variables contextuales desadaptativas (dimensiones del clima motivaci…
The Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale in Filipino: An Exploratory Factor Analysis
2014
Fulfillment of students’ basic psychological needs in school physical education is essential for their optimal motivation and well-being. The present study aimed to: (1) translate the Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale (BPNPE Scale; Vlachopoulos, Katarzi, & Kontou, 2011) to Filipino, and (2) examine the reliability and validity of the Filipino version. Instrument translation was conducted using a committee-approach back-translation procedure. The Filipino version was then administered to 408 public high school students from Metro Manila during one of their PE classes. Results showed that internal consistency reliabilities of the subscales were adequate with alphas ranging…
