L2 or L3? Foreign Language Enjoyment and Proficiency
2017
Enjoyment is among the achievement emotions encountered in school and university settings. While often identified with a sense of belonging not necessarily connected with learning (Lumby, 2011), foreign language enjoyment (FLE) in SLA has been found to correlate with teachers’ professional and affective skills, and the existence of a supportive peer group. The risk involved with meeting the challenges of the SLA process induces both private and social feelings of FLE (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2016). This study hypothesizes that a good command of language may be a source of elevated levels of enjoyment, because greater language proficiency is connected with greater control perception, especially…
Consumo di cannabis, gruppo dei pari e strutturazione del Sè in adolescenza
2011
La conquista di un nuovo senso di identità e la rappresentazione di essa come frutto dell’integrazione delle trasformazioni psico-fisiche che travolgono il proprio corpo, è un percorso lento e di certo non privo di tensioni, che si snoda nel corso di tutta l’adolescenza. La costruzione identitaria adolescenziale non è però solo un processo intrapsichico, essa si articola anche attraverso il confronto che il giovane ha all’interno dello spazio sociale che lo circonda, mediante il rapporto con i pari ed i nuovi ruoli sociali progressivamente ricoperti. In questa fase di vita, il gruppo dei pari assume nuove valenze e funzioni specifiche, fornendo un modello di confronto e identificazione con …

The meaning of peer group mentoring in the university context
2019
Peer mentoring is commonly used for didactical and learning purposes. In this study we examine peer group mentoring in the university context. The aim is to promote understanding of peer group mentoring based on a meta-analysis of two primary studies: teacher students and teacher group tutors. As a result, three core categories were found: 1) Individual’s participation in the group, 2) Professional development with others and 3) Community enabling sharing and development. These were hierarchically organized and there are critical aspects placed in between the core categories. Professional and personal experiences intertwine to enhance participants’ self-understanding and professional develo…

Pienryhmäohjaajien vertaisryhmä andragogisessa koulutuksessa

Erilaisten yhteistyön muotojen, vuorovaikutuksen ja jakamisen merkitystä korostetaan tutkimuksissa, mutta opettajien ja ohjaajien kollegiaalisen tuen muotoja ei juurikaan edistetä rakenteellisin tai organisatorisin keinoin. Vertaistuki vahvistaa ohjaajien työssä kehittymistä ja jaksamista sekä koulutuksen kehittämistä.

2017
Research has shown that outdoor educational interventions can lead to students' increased self-regulated motivational behavior. In this study, we searched into the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPN), i.e., autonomy support, the learners' experience of competence, and relatedness, both within the peer group and with their teachers, through outdoor learning. From 2014 to 2016, n = 281 students attended “research weeks” at a Student Science Lab in the Alpine National Park Berchtesgaden (Germany). The program is a curriculum-based one-week residential course, centered on a 2-day research expedition. Both before and after the course, students completed a composite questionnaire addr…
