Students’ agency profiles in relation to student-perceived teaching practices in university courses
2020
This study addresses the gap in our understanding of the role of pedagogy in agency construction among higher education students. In the present study, profiles of students’ agency experiences were identified and analysed with respect to the students’ perceptions of teaching practices in their courses (i.e., student-centred learning activities, forms of instruction, and student-teacher roles). The Agency of University Students (AUS) Scale (Jääskelä et al., 2017) was used to assess the students’ experiences of their personal, relational, and participatory resources of agency. Agency profiles were found to be associated with students’ perceptions of teaching practices in the courses. The find…
Influence of “relation with learning” on a situation of communication teaching-learning for different Scholar pupils
2015
International audience; Communication can be understood as the set of relations between two people interacting. Between learners and teachers, the relationship is induced by a situation of communication teaching-learning. In this constructivism theory, Chevallard and Charlot [1,2] make the hypotesis that learning requires a factor commonly underestimated: the “relation with learning”. This study surveys the impact of the “relation with learning” of pupils under a situation of communication teaching-learning. The evolution of conceptions among learners had been studied in parallel of pedagogical method proposed by teacher.The necessity to change the conceptions in scientific learning is clai…
Exploring User Acceptance of Free Wireless Fidelity Public Hot Spots : An Empirical Study
2008
Research regarding commercial and free wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) public hot spots acceptance and adoption is sketchy. Therefore, it has become imperative to understand the critical factors that affect their acceptance. The focus of this study is free Wi-Fi public hot spot users, with the objective to better understand their user acceptance. In doing so, this study integrated two well-established initial acceptance models, specifically, the technology acceptance model and the diffusion of innovation theory. This study was conducted using an on-line survey that collected data from 129 users. It uses the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique to examine the relationship between variables. The re…
Extending the Technology Acceptance Model with Personal Innovativeness and Technology Readiness : A Comparison of Three Models
2016
This study concentrates on the role of personal traits in technology acceptance by comparing which of the two personal trait constructs commonly used in IS research, personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology (PIIT) or technology readiness index (TRI), performs better in terms of promoting the explanatory power of the technology acceptance model (TAM). The comparisons are conducted in the case context of online services offered by electric suppliers, and the study is based on the data collected from 1,176 consumers through an online survey and analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings of the study show that the inclusion of both PIIT and TRI in…
An Acceptance Model for Useful and Fun Information Systems
2006
Investigating the factors associated with user acceptance of new software systems has been an important research stream in the field of information systems for many years. The technology acceptance model has long been used to examine the acceptance of utilitarian systems. Recently, it has been used to examine recreational or pleasure-oriented systems. Many examples exist of software that, depending on the context of use, can be used for productive and pleasurable interaction. This paper examines the determinants of use of one such “dual” system. A survey of users of a dual system was conducted. Results show that perceived usefulness is more important in determining intention to use than per…
Is it really gender? An empirical investigation into gender effects in technology adoption through the examination of individual differences
2010
A recent development in the technology acceptance literature is the inclusion of gender as a moderator of the relationships between intention and its antecedents, such that some are stronger for men than women, and vice versa. While the effects have been well established, the mechanisms by which they operate, that is, which specific gender differences are in operation and how they affect intention to adopt, have not been thoroughly explored. In this research, psychological constructs with established gender differences, such as core self-evaluations, computer self-efficacy and anxiety, psychological gender-role, and risk-taking propensity, are examined. In addition, this research introduces…
Influence of the learning environment on the representational strategies of middle school music students: an intervention-based study
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a hypermedia learning environment on middle school students' meta-representational competence (MRC) in the domain of music. Particularly, we aimed at determining whether an educational intervention influenced the accuracy with which middle school students matched sounds (sonic fragments) to symbols (graphic representations). The students were randomly allocated to the experimental condition. An intervention was set up so that the experimental group students (E) were provided with scaffolding aimed at enhancing their use of constructive resources to generate representations and their critical capabilities to judge them. On the other han…
Professional identity in relation to vocational teachers’ work : an identity-centred approach to professional development
2018
This paper reports a study on teachers’ professional identity and work in vocational education. The findings showed that vocational teachers’ work included vocational teaching within the school, developmental work, technology-enhanced work, professional duties outside the school, and educational duties within the school. Furthermore, the study revealed the harmonious and tensioned relationships between these elements of the work and teachers’ identities. Recognition of the nuanced nature of these relationships provides a perspective for promoting teachers’ professional development. From a practical perspective, there is a need to support vocational teachers’ identity work and the adoption o…

Sinhronās slidošanas elites līmeņa sportistu propriocepcijas un telpiskās apziņas novērtējums
2021
Sinhronajā slidošanā sacensību programmu vienlaicīgi izpilda 16 sportisti. Lai izvairītos no traumām un gūtu panākumus sacensībās, nozīmīga ir apzināšanās telpā un ķermeņa kustību precizitāte. Kopš 2019.gada līdzsvaru elements ar vienādu pozīcijas izpildi ir obligātais elements īsajā programmā pieaugušo un junioru kategorijā sinhronajā slidošanā. Šī darba mērķis ir novērtēt propriocepcijas un telpiskās uztveres spējas sinhronās slidošanas komandā un secināt vai pastāv sakarība starp propriocepciju un telpisko uztveri. Pētījumā piedalījās 20 dalībnieku, kas veica Hagerty et al. izstrādāto perspektīvas uztveres telpiskās orientēšanās testu, kā arī demonstrēja līdzsvaru pozīcijas 90°, 110°, 13…
