Competence Acquisition through Autonomy in the Self-regulated Learning Process
2012
La autorregulación académica se ha establecido como una de las competencias básicas en el sistema educativo bajo el nuevo paradigma del Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior. La autorregulación del aprendizaje no es una capacidad mental, como la inteligencia, o una habilidad, como la lectura, sino un proceso autodirigido a través del cual los aprendices transforman sus capacidades mentales en habilidades académicas. En la investigación que aquí se presenta, se consideran específicamente las dimensiones motivacionales (orientación intrínseca y extrínseca, valor otorgado a las tareas, locus de control para el aprendizaje, autoeficacia para el aprendizaje y ansiedad ante las evaluaciones) diri…

Dropout intentions in secondary education : Student temperament and achievement motivation as antecedents
2023
Introduction As early school leaving and dropping out from education pose a challenge for later life adjustment, it is important to identify antecedent factors for the risk of school dropout to tailor individual support for adolescents.

Methods Participants were Finnish adolescents' (n = 536; 57% girls, mean age 12.39 at outset, standard deviation…

Manipulacyjne wykorzystanie słowa park w nazwach osiedli mieszkaniowych
2020
Artykuł opisuje częste obecnie zjawisko wykorzystywania w celach komercyjnych słowa park w nazwach obiektów miejskich, głównie osiedli mieszkaniowych. Nazwy te łudzą obietnicą życia w korzystnych warunkach, przesłaniając fakt, że ich budowanie nieodłącznie wiąże się z uszczuplaniem terenów zielonych w mieście. Firmy deweloperskie przenoszą na tworzone przez siebie nazwy wysoce pozytywne asocjacje, jakie wywołuje tradycyjnie rozumiany park, pierwsza część artykułu przedstawia więc treści semantyczne, które składają się na to pojęcie. Część druga pokazuje, w jaki sposób deweloperzy uzasadniają swe nazwy, kreując ich związek z realnymi cechami lokalizacji lub architektury osiedli, a także łącz…
Finnish adult students’ perspectives on short-cycle study programmes : motives and evaluations
2018
We investigated how students in Finland perceive short-cycle higher education programmes. In line with the European trend, Finland has piloted short-cycle study programmes in order to attract adult students into higher education. We found that the students were mainly satisfied with their studies, and that their orientations to studies and learning were extrinsic in nature. The strengths of the programme were perceived as related to the flexibility of the studies, the variety of teaching methods, and the extensive contents of the studies. The main challenges were associated with difficulties in using information and communications technology (ICT) within the studies, and issues with time ma…
