English speaking skills in Finnish upper secondary school : students' self-assessment vs. the objectives of the curriculum
2017
Vieraiden kielten osaamisella on alati kasvava merkitys nykyajan ihmisille. Eri kulttuureista ja yhteisöistä tulevat ihmiset luovat kontakteja toisiinsa niin virtuaalisesti kuin myös kasvokkain. Tällaiset kontaktit ovat mahdollisia juurikin kielten avulla, ja erityisesti englannin kieli on saavuttanut kansainvälisesti tärkeän roolin eri taustaisten ihmisten yhteisenä kommunikointivälineenä. Englannin kielen taidolla voi pärjätä lähes kaikkialla maailmassa, ja Suomessakin voi olettaa törmäävänsä englannin kielen puhumista vaativiin tilanteisiin arkipäivän elämässä. Suurin osa suomalaisista pääsee opiskelemaan englannin kieltä peruskoulussa, ja lukioon menevät nuoret jatkavat englannin opinto…
Investigating the direct and indirect effects of a school-based leadership program for primary school students: Rationale and study protocol for the …
2023
Background Leadership is a valuable skill that can be taught in school, and which may have benefits within and beyond the classroom. Learning to Lead (L2L) is a student-led, primary school-based leadership program whereby older ‘peer leaders’ deliver a fundamental movement skills (FMS) program to younger ‘peers’ within their own school. Aim The aims of the study are to determine the efficacy of a peer-led FMS intervention on: (i) peer leaders’ (aged 10 to 12 years) leadership effectiveness (primary outcome), leadership self-efficacy, well-being, and time on-task in the classroom; (ii) peers’ (aged 8 to 10 years) physical activity levels, actual and perceived FMS competency, cardiorespirato…
How do gender, Internet activity and learning beliefs predict sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry?
2021
Today’s students search, evaluate and actively use Web information in their school assignments, that is, they conduct an online inquiry. This current survey study addresses sixth-grade students’ self-efficacy beliefs in and attitudes towards online inquiry, and to what extent free-time and school-related Internet activity, gender and learning beliefs explain these. The questionnaire was administered in 10 schools to 340 sixth-graders in Finland. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed three elements of self-efficacy beliefs: self-efficacy in Web searching, the evaluation of sources and synthesising information. Furthermore, attitudes towards online inquiry loaded into two fact…

Predicting Change in Middle School Students’ Leisure-Time Physical Activity Participation: A Prospective Test of the Trans-Contextual Model
2020
We applied the trans-contextual model (TCM) to examine the effects of middle school students’ perceived autonomy support from their physical education (PE) teachers on autonomous motivation toward PE in school and, critically, autonomous motivation toward, and actual participation in, leisure-time physical activity (PA). The research adopted a three-wave prospective design enabling the modeling of change in the TCM constructs over time. Middle school students (N = 248) aged from 12 to 16 years reported their perceived autonomy support, autonomous motivation in PE, autonomous motivation toward leisure-time PA, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), intentions for PA…
Effect of self-determined motivation in physical education on objectively measured habit physical activity : a trans-contextual model
2019
Grounded in the trans-contextual model, the purpose of the present study was to examine the role of self-determined motivation in Physical Education (PE) on self-determined motivation in Physical Activity (PA), PA intention, and accelerometer-measured habitual PA behavior among high-school aged adolescents. A sample of 394 Spanish high-school students (211 males and 183 females; aged 12-16 years) participated in the present study. The outcome measure of PA was established using accelerometry, whereas motiva- tion toward PA and PE as well as PA intention were measured using validated questionnaires. Path analyses supported in part the central propositions of the trans-contextual model. Self-…
Sixth graders evaluating online texts : self-efficacy beliefs predict confirming but not questioning the credibility
2023
This study investigated how sixth graders’ credibility evaluation self-efficacy was associated with their ability to evaluate the credibility of online texts. Students (N = 265, Mage = 12.45) worked in a web-based environment, where they read and evaluated two more credible texts and two less credible texts that required confirming and questioning the texts’ credibility, respectively. Students were asked to evaluate the author’s expertise, the author’s benevolence, and the quality of evidence in each text. They were also asked to assess their credibility evaluation self-efficacy during the task. The structural equation model indicated that students’ self-efficacy was positively associated w…
Attitude and Divergence in Business Students: An Examination of Personality Differences in Business and Non-Business Students
2008
Many studies have reported that economics and business students have been more apt to act in selfinterested ways when compared to their counterparts in other academic fields. It is our contention that past studies have not shed light on the underlying psychological differences which might be leading to this difference in behavior. We put forth evidence that certain business majors are correlated with a marked increase in levels of narcissism and decreased levels of empathy, as measured by psychological personality tests.Many studies have reported that economics and business students have been more apt to act in selfinterested ways when compared to their counterparts in other academic fields…
