Literāro tekstu izmantošana vācu valodas ka svešvalodas stundās vidusskolā

2018

Diplomdarbs „Literāro tekstu izmantošana vācu valodas kā svešvalodas stundās vidusskolā” ir veltīts skolēnu lasīšanas spēju attīstībai vācu valodas stundās, izmantojot literāros tekstus. Tēmas izvēle ir pamatota ar to, ka literatūras nelasīšana ir bieži sastopama parādība mūsdienu pusaudžu vidū. Tādēļ mūsdienu svešvalodu pedagogu mērķis ir ne tikai attīstīt bērna lasītprasmi, bet arī veicināt skolēnu interesi par lasīšanu. Darba gaitā tika izpētīta zinātniskā un metodiskā literatūra, atlasīti atbilstoši literārie teksti, izstrādāti stundu plāni un veikta pedagoģiskā izmēģinājumdarbība. Darba praktiskajā daļā ietverta izglītojamo aptaujas analīze. Tika konstatēts, ka literāro tekstu lasīšana…

Dopamine Related Genes Differentially Affect Declarative Long-Term Memory in Healthy Humans

2020

In humans, monetary reward can promote behavioral performance including response times, accuracy, and subsequent recognition memory. Recent studies have shown that the dopaminergic system plays an essential role here, but the link to interindividual differences remains unclear. To further investigate this issue, we focused on previously described polymorphisms of genes affecting dopaminergic neurotransmission: DAT1 40 base pair (bp), DAT1 30 bp, DRD4 48 bp, and cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CNR1). Specifically, 669 healthy humans participated in a delayed recognition memory paradigm on two consecutive days. On the first day, male vs. female faces served as cues predicting an immediate moneta…

Teaching practices in first-year university : description and analysis of their implications on student studies

2014

In France, there is little research on university teaching and focusing specifically on teaching practices. This present research aims to explore this concept in two different ways. The first part focuses on the description of the practices implemented by teachers during first-year university lectures. Using in situ observation of lecture practices of 49 teachers from five programmes, Administration, Sociology, Psychology and English, we first show that teachers’ practices mostly rely on traditional methods as defined by Bru (2006). However, we show a variety of practices among teachers. The second part of this research updates our knowledge of the implications of these practices on student…

Motivation and academic achievement in mathematics: a longitudinal study in the early stages of education

2017

Se analiza longitudinalmente la capacidad predictiva de un conjunto de variables motivacionales sobre el rendimiento matemático. Los análisis se realizan, en una muestra de 180 sujetos, con datos evaluados en dos momentos (Educación Infantil 5 años y 2º curso de Primaria). También se estudian las diferencias entre dos grupos, con rendimiento matemático medio y bajo al finalizar el primer ciclo de Primaria, en las variables motivacionales evaluadas en el primer momento. Los resultados muestran un importante poder predictivo sobre el rendimiento matemático posterior de la competencia percibida. También la persistencia, la actitud y la dimensión atribucional de internalidad positiva aportan un…

The relationship between observed and perceived assessments of the coach-created motivational environment and links to athlete motivation

2016

Abstract Objectives The majority of research examining the relationship between the coach-created motivational and athlete motivation has relied on self-report measures. Grounded in Duda’s (2013) theoretically integrated model, the present study examined: (1) athletes', coaches' and observers' reports of the multidimensional motivational coaching environment in four European countries, (2) the interrelationships of these different perspectives of the motivational environment, and (3) links between the multidimensional environment and athletes' autonomous, controlled and amotivation. Design We employed a cross-sectional study design and utilized mixed methods to tap the variables of interest…

Does Car Sharing Contribute to Urban Sustainability from User-Motivation Perspectives?

2021

Mobility, its current state and development perspectives in the future creates challenges with respect to sustainability, the first of which is the uncontrolled increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the last few decades, while road transport is one of the “sinners” creating long-term negative impact. The second is the dominance of car travel and car usage in the passenger transportation segment before the latest COVID-19 pandemic accelerated environmental problems. Although recent trends show new, greener patterns in consumption, there is still a relatively low share of consumers acknowledging the importance of sustainable and green preferences. This research study aims to investigate car…

Personality predictors of social status attainment

2019

The current review summarizes recent advances in research on personality predictors of status attainment. In line with previous research, recent studies indicate that extraverted and narcissistic individuals tend to attain status in groups. Research on mediating processes includes a wide range of underlying motivational, behavioral, and interpersonal perception processes. Most generally speaking, those high in extraversion and narcissism attain status because they are more motivated to do so and thus display assertive behavior that makes them look competent. Situational contexts, group tasks, and cultural contexts can moderate the personality-status links by shaping these processes. For exa…

PERCEPTIONS OF TODAY’S YOUNG GENERATION ABOUT MEANINGFUL LEARNING OF STEM

2020

The necessity of STEM knowledge is being more widely acknowledged as the priority in the development of education; however, students lack sufficient knowledge and interest in the acquisition of STEM subjects. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the teaching and learning methods that would correspond to the contemporary young generation and that would facilitate meaningful learning of modern students. Performing the survey of 256 students in Grades 10 – 12 of Latvia, students’ perceptions on how they understand and interpret their STEM learning and methods used by teachers have been explored. The questionnaire in the QuestionPro e-environment was designed according to the criteria de…
