The Role of a Supportive Interpersonal Environment and Education-Related Goal Motivation During the Transition Beyond Upper Secondary Education
2018
This longitudinal study investigated the role of parents and peers as well as of education-related goal motivation during educational transitioning in late adolescence. The sample consisted of 1520 upper secondary education students attending either academic or vocational upper secondary school in Finland. They were surveyed three times: (1) in the first year of their upper secondary education, (2) in the second year of their upper secondary education, and (3) two years later. The results show, first, that when students in upper secondary education pursued their educational goals out of autonomous motivation they also invested more effort in their goals, which was reflected in high levels o…

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the trends between 2002 and 2018 in school pressure and school satisfaction among 15-year-old students, across countries and by gender, in the WHO European region and North America, and explore whether there are variations between countries and by gender in the co-occurrence of school pressure and school satisfaction.

Statistical analyses included ttests, binary logistic regression analyses, and chi-square tests, as required by each of the study aims. Results: School satisfaction tended to i…

2018
The study focused on the transition from middle school to high school and aimed to verify the mediating role that perceived peer support may play in the relationship between family functioning in middle school and school satisfaction in high school. In middle school (Wave 1), participants were 208 adolescents (106 boys and 102 girls) aged 12–13 years (M = 12.56; SD = .61), attending the last classes of two middle public schools located in Italy. One year later (Wave 2), 155 adolescents (76 boys and 79 girls) participated again in the study when they attended the first classes of high school (M = 13.91; SD = .75). Participants completed the Italian Version of Family Assessment Device and the…
Kouluviihtyvyys ja siihen liittyvät tekijät peruskoulussa ja toisen asteen opinnoissa
2018
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten peruskoulun kahdeksasluokkalaiset (N=491) ja toisen asteen opiskelijat (N=200) viihtyivät opinnoissaan ja mitkä eri tekijät siihen vaikuttivat. Aineisto koottiin kyselylomakkeilla kahdessa vaiheessa. Alkumittaus tehtiin keväällä 2008, jolloin tutkittavat olivat 8. luokalla ja uusintamittaus v. 2011–2012, jolloin he opiskelivat toista vuotta toisen asteen oppilaitoksissa. Tutkittavista 106 osallistui molempiin mittauksiin. Suurin osa (85,4 %) peruskoulun kahdeksasluokkalaisista viihtyi koulussa hyvin. Tytöt viihtyivät koulussa paremmin kuin pojat, mutta toisella asteella tyttöjen ja poikien väliset erot kapenivat. Opettajasuhteen laadun ko…
