Social Competence and Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity of School-Aged Children through a Creative Physical Education Intervention

2019

Traditional school physical education focuses on physical skills or strategies with an expectation that learning these skills lead to healthier lifestyle outside physical education classes, while children’s overall moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is widely decreasing. Creative Physical Education (CPE) understands physical education more holistically, as the central pedagogical element of movement is social learning. The current study examined the development of social competence in school physical education (PE) and total moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) participation through a CPE-based intervention. Participants were 363 (177 intervention, 186 control) children …

Kokemuksia, taitoja ja asenteita : luokanopettajaopiskelijat tieto- ja viestintätekniikan käyttäjinä

2014

Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää Jyväskylän yliopiston luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden kokemuksia, taitoja ja asenteita tieto- ja viestintätekniikasta (TVT). Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella, joka lähetettiin luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden sähköpostilistalle keväällä 2014. Kysely tuotti yhteensä 62 vastausta. Aineisto analysoitiin kvantitatiivisten tutkimusmenetelmien avulla. Tutkimuksen perusteella opiskelijoiden kokemukset tieto- ja viestintäteknologian käytöstä ovat monipuolisia. Jokaisella tutkittavalla oli oma tietokone, mikä antoi hyvät edellytykset hyödyntää tieto- ja viestintäteknologiaa monipuolisesti opinnoissa ja vapaa-ajalla. Opiskelijat käyttiv…

Let Me Hack It: Teachers’ Perceptions About ‘Making’ in Education

2020

Making in education is an emergent practice focusing on learners as creators of things in a collaborative fashion while promoting knowledge construction through technology, design, and creative self-expression. Teachers’ (n=33) opinions about making were studied using an online questionnaire after they had attended an online course for professional development about making in education. The results suggest that there exists a group of educators who consider making as a promising approach in education and want to promote its use in schools. peerReviewed

School burnout, depressive symptoms and engagement : Their combined effect on student achievement

2017

Abstract Prior studies have shown that student burnout becomes more prevalent during adolescence and is associated with both depressive symptoms and school engagement. Little is known about how burnout, engagement, and depressive symptoms jointly affect students’ school achievement in terms of grades and skipping class. The main purpose of the current study was to analyse these variables within a full model in order to examine the direct and indirect effects of burnout, engagement and depression on student achievement, while controlling for gender and age. Participants were 210 Italian high school students aged 14 to 16. Student burnout was found to exert the strongest effect on school achi…

Long-term stability of early sudden gains in an acceptance and values-based intervention

2019

Though previous research has extensively reported that sudden gains are associated with superior treatment results, research on the long-term effects and stability of sudden gains is not as consistent. The current study explored the long-term stability of early sudden gains (ESGs) observed in a brief acceptance and values-based intervention for depression provided by novice therapists. The participants were 56 volunteers diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Among the participants, 23% experienced ESGs, i.e. they reached the status of improved or recovered in the Reliable Change Index (RCI; Jacobson & Truax, 1991) classification after only two sessions. The current study examined the le…

Psykologisen itsehoito-oppaan käyttö lyhytterapiassa : vaikutus mielialaan ja hyvinvointiin sekä oppaan käyttökokemukset

2011

Masennus on toimintakykyä ja elämänlaatua alentava mielialahäiriö, jolla on vakavia seurauksia sekä yksilölle että yhteiskunnalle. Oireyhtymä on yleisyydestään huolimatta edelleen alihoidettu, ja kärsii muun muassa terapiahoidon saatavuuteen liittyvistä ongelmista. Masennuksen psykologiseen itsehoitoon tarkoitetut kirjat ovat tavallisesti muuta hoitoa helpommin saatavilla, ja teosten käytöstä on saatu kannustavia tuloksia kliinisesti merkittävän depression hoidossa. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, olisiko hyväksymis- ja omistautumisterapiaan perustuvan itsehoito-oppaan käytöllä yhteyttä mielialassa ja hyvinvoinnissa tavattuun muutokseen osana kuuden kerran hyväksymis- ja omistautum…

Assessment of students’ agency in Finnish and Spanish university courses: Analysis of measurement invariance

2023

This study reports on the measurement invariance of the Agency of University Students Scale in data consisting of Finnish and Spanish university students (n = 645) and presents cross-national findings on student agency assessment. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the metric invariance for 10 factors, which allows comparisons of covariance structures and correlation analyses, and can, for example, be used to examine background factor effects on agency across groups. At least partial scalar invariance was confirmed for six factors, allowing comparisons of mean values between Finnish and Spanish students. Differences were found in the experiences of personal and relational res…

Digital Coaching among University Students with Low Levels of Physical Activity: A Quantitative Intervention Study on Exercise Self-efficacy

2019

University aged people have been found to be at a high risk of disengagement of physical activity. They also belong to a generation where technology is strongly integrated into most parts of their lives. Therefore, using technology also in physical activity promotion has potential. This exploratory study investigates the perceived effects of a sport and wellness technology digital coach among physically inactive university students during a 10-week intervention. The perspective for the research came from exercise psychology focusing on the effects of the use of a digital coach on self-efficacy related to physical activity and exercising. The results indicate that a digital coach can increas…

Acceptability, reach and implementation of a training to enhance teachers’ skills in physical activity promotion

2020

This is a pre-print of a published study: Renko, E., Knittle, K., Palsola, M. et al. Acceptability, reach and implementation of a training to enhance teachers’ skills in physical activity promotion. BMC Public Health 20, 1568 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09653-x Background: In order to achieve real-world impacts, successful behavior change interventions need to be scaled up and broadly implemented. Implementation is challenging however, and the factors influencing successful implementation are not fully understood. This study describes the nationwide implementation of a complex theory-based program to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in vocational school…
