Prediction of enjoyment in school physical education
2012
The specific aim of this study was to examine whether motivational climate, perceived physical competence, and exercise motivation predict enjoyment in school physical education within the same sample of adolescents across three years of secondary school. A sample of 639 students (girls = 296, boys = 343) aged between 13- to 15-years at the commencement of the study completed the Intrinsic Motivation Climate in Physical Education Questionnaire, Physical Self-Perception Profile, Physical Education Motivation Scale, and Physical Education Enjoyment Scale. Results derived from path analyses indicated that task-involving motivational climate predicted enjoyment in physical education via perceiv…
The measurement invariance of Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) across three university student groups

L’influence de l’épreuve du baccalauréat sur les études de français chez les lycéens finlandais
2017
Työn tavoitteena oli selvittää miten ylioppilaskirjoitukset vaikuttavat lukiolaisten ranskan kielen opiskeluun ja opiskelumotivaatioon. Ylioppilaskirjoituksissa ei testata kaikkia kielitaidon osa-alueita, esimerkiksi suullista kielitaitoa. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että opiskelijat saattavat kielen opiskelussaan tähdätä vain ylioppilaskirjoituksissa vaadittuihin taitoihin ja opiskelijoiden motivaatio saattaakin vaihdella riippuen heidän suhtautumisestaan ylioppilaskokeeseen. Tämä tekee aiheesta mielenkiintoisen tutkimuskohteen, sillä opiskelumotivaatio voi vaihdella hyvinkin paljon opiskelijoiden välillä. Lisäksi selvitettiin taustasyitä opiskelijoiden ranskan kielen valinnalle ja heidän mielip…

Is School a Better Environment Than Home for Digital Game-Based Learning? The Case of GraphoGame
2015
This study investigated how the use of an online reading game differs in home and school environments. First and second graders (N = 194) participated in an 8-week training during which they used the reading program GraphoGame either at home or at school under the supervision of parents or teachers. Child participants were recommended by parents and teachers recruited from the list of GraphoGame users, and adults decided whether the training took place at home or at school. We measured the frequency and duration of playing, children’s engagement, development of reading skill and reading interest, and adult supportive involvement. The results revealed that children who played GraphoGame at s…

What factors relate to three profiles of perception of motor competence in young children?
2022
The study aims were to 1) examine profiles of perception of motor competence (PMC) in relation to actual motor competence (AMC), i.e. under-estimators (UEs), realistic estimators (REs) and over-estimators (OEs) and 2) investigate associations between the profiles and selected socioecological factors at the individual, family and environmental levels. PMC (Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence) and AMC (Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition) were administered to a representative sample of children from 37 childcare centres in Finland (n=441;6.2±0.6yrs;52% boys). Socioecological factors were investigated using a parental questionnaire. The three profiles were formed b…
Elinsiirtoliikunnan viikon vapaaehtoisten profiili, motiivit ja aikeet vapaaehtoistyöhön jatkossa
2017
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla European Transplant Sport Week (ETSW) -tapahtuman toteuttamista tukevissa vapaaehtoistehtävissä toimineiden vapaaehtoisten profiilia sekä selvittää vapaaehtoisten osallistumisen motiiveja. Lisäksi tutkittiin vapaaehtoisten tietämystä elinsiirron saaneiden liikunnasta ja aikomuksia toimia vapaaehtoisena jatkossa. Tutkimuksessa käsiteltiin vapaaehtoisuutta jälkimodernin yhteiskunnan piirteiden näkökulmasta, jossa refleksiivinen yksilöllisiä tarkoitusperiä tavoitteleva ja episodimaisuuteen perustuva vapaaehtoisuus on syrjäyttämässä aiempaa perinteisiin ja yhteisöllisyyteen tukeutunutta kollektiivista vapaaehtoisuutta. Tutkimus oli kvantitatiivinen tapaust…

We define digital coaching in the context of sports and wellness technology and investigate its influence on physical activity motivation and behaviour of physically inactive individuals. The study is based on thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured…
