Construct validity and reliability of the physical activity parenting questionnaire for children (PAP-C)
2021
Background Children’s perception of parenting is hypothesised to significantly affect their physical activity (PA). This study aimed to examine construct validity, factorial invariance and reliability of a new tool: Physical Activity Parenting questionnaire for Children (PAP-C). Methods PAP-C comprised 22 items hypothesised to cover 3 theory-guided factors of physical activity parenting (PAP)—namely, structure for activity, autonomy support and involvement. Construct validity and internal consistency of PAP-C were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and composite reliability in a sample of Finnish first, second- and third graders (n = 456; mean age 8.77 ± 0.84 years, girls 51.1%…
Test-retest repeatability of questionnaire for pain symptoms for school children aged 10–15 years
2019
Abstract Background and aims There is a growing body of evidence, that pain is common at school age. Less is known about the repeatability of pain questionnaires for children. This study aimed to assess the test-retest repeatability of the Finnish version of the electronic pain questionnaire for school-aged children. Methods Primary (n = 79) and lower secondary (n = 127) schoolchildren aged 10–15 years from two schools from the Jyväskylä region of Finland, filled in an electronic questionnaire twice in an interval of 2 weeks. It captured the frequency of pain symptoms with a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire covering nine areas of the body for the last 3 months. The intraclass correlati…
Reliability and validity of the Finnish version of the prosthesis evaluation questionnaire
2018
Background: Thus far there have been no specific patient-reported outcome instrument in Finnish for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment after major lower extremity amputation and successful prosthesis fitting. Methods: The prosthesis evaluation questionnaire (PEQ) was translated and cross-culturally adapted into Finnish. Participants completed a questionnaire package including the Finnish version of the PEQ and the 15 D HRQoL instrument. Scales (n = 10) were tested for internal consistency, floor-ceiling effect, and reproducibility for which participants completed the PEQ twice within a 2-week interval. Validity was tested by estimating the correlation between the 15 D index a…
Lasten ryhmäperustainen, verbaalis-kognitiivinen motoriikkaharjoittelu : interventiotutkimus
2010
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten opettajat pystyvät seulomaan yleisopetuksen alaluokilta lapsia, joilla on lieviä motorisen oppimisen vaikeuksia. Lisäksi tutkittiin 10 viikkoa kestäneen motoriikkaa kuntouttavan kognitiivisen harjoitusohjelman vaikutuksia. Kolmantena teemana oli motivaation ja mielialan kehittyminen kerhokerran aikana. Harjoitusohjelma toteutettiin koulun iltapäiväkerhona eräässä keskisuomalaisessa koulussa lukuvuonna 2009–2010. Osallistujat seulottiin neljältä alaluokalta (1–2lk) opettajien täyttämällä koordinaatiokyselyllä (Developmental Coordination Disorder -Questionnare, DCDQ ). Harjoittelun vaikutuksia selvitettiin alku-, loppu- ja pysyvyysmittauksilla, jo…
Public sector reputation and netpromoter score
2021
AbstractReputation of public sector organizations is increasingly formed through Word of Mouth (WOM) as citizens and stakeholders share their experiences with others both online and offline. Understanding and measuring WOM is a challenge for many public sector organizations, who often resort to measurement tools designed for the private sector. This paper looks at a popular WOM measurement tool, namely the Net Promoter Score (NPS) in the context of public sector organizations. In this paper, we ask how well does the NPS describe public sector reputation, and look at what the different stakeholder groups categorized by NPS are like in the public sector. As an illustrative case, we report fin…
What to Expect and What to Focus on in SQL Query Teaching
2019
In the process of learning a new computer language, writing erroneous statements is part of the learning experience. However, some errors persist throughout the query writing process and are never corrected. Structured Query Language (SQL) consists of a number of different concepts such as expressions, joins, grouping and ordering, all of which by nature invite different possible errors in the query writing process. Furthermore, some of these errors are relatively easy for a student to fix when compared to others. Using a data set from three student cohorts with the total of 744 students, we set out to explore which types of errors are persistent, i.e., more likely to be left uncorrected by…
SQL Education
2020
Structured Query Language (SQL) skills are crucial in software engineering and computer science. However, teaching SQL effectively requires both pedagogical skill and considerable knowledge of the language. Educators and scholars have proposed numerous considerations for the betterment of SQL education, yet these considerations may be too numerous and scattered among different fora for educators to find and internalize, as no systematic mappings or literature reviews regarding SQL education have been conducted. The two main goals of this mapping study are to provide an overview of educational SQL research topics, research types, and publication fora, and to collect and propagate SQL teachi…
The Effects of Database Complexity on SQL Query Formulation
2020
In Structured Query Language (SQL) education, students often execute queries against a simple exercise database. Recently, databases that are more realistic have been utilized to the effect that students find exercises more interesting and useful, as these databases more accurately mimic databases students are likely to encounter in their future work environments. However, using even the most engaging database can be counterproductive to learning, if a student is not able to formulate correct queries due to the complexity of the database schema. Scientific evidence on the effects of database complexity on student’s query formulation is limited, and with queries from 744 students against thr…
The reliability and validity of the sport engagement instrument in the Finnish dual career context
2021
Although engagement is key to predicting burnout and dropout, few existing instruments measure this phenomenon in the sports context. As part of a larger three-year Lower Secondary Sports Schools Pilot Project (LSSSPP) in Finland, we conducted two studies as part of the present research with the major aims of (a) constructing the Sport Engagement Instrument (SpEI) and (b) validating the new instrument in the Finnish dual career context. In the preparatory study, an expert panel constructed the SpEI, a questionnaire comprising 37 items intended to measure cognitive and affective sports engagement. The main study utilised questionnaire data collected from two independent samples (n1 = 992 and…
Sosiaalialan asiakastietojärjestelmissä paljon parannettavaa: käyttäjäkokemukset 2019
2020
Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon digitalisaatiolle on asetettu paljon odotuksia niin palveluiden laadun, saavutettavuuden kuin tehokkuuden osalta. Asiakas- ja potilastietojärjestelmiltä odotetaan paljon tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi. Asiakastietojärjestelmät ovat laajasti käytössä sosiaalialalla, mutta niiden käyttöä työvälineenä ja niiden avulla saavutettuja hyötyjä on tutkittu ammattilaisten näkökulmasta vain vähän. Keväällä 2019 kartoitettiin ensimmäistä kertaa valtakunnallisesti sosiaalialan ammattilaisten käyttäjäkokemuksia asiakastietojärjestelmistä. Tässä artikkelissa kuvataan kyselytutkimuksen toteutus ja tulokset eniten käytettyjen tuotemerkkien osalta. Tutkimus toimii pilottina vuonna…
