Parental Self-Efficacy and Intra- and Extra-Familial Relationships
2022
AbstractRelationships are at the heart of well-being. Parental self-efficacy emerges as a powerful construct for understanding parenting and parent–child relationships. However, person-centered approaches that allow identification of different family-specific configurations of mothers’ and fathers’ parental self-efficacy and potential within-family discrepancies remain scarce. Families are more than the sums of their parts, and holistic approaches are needed to deepen our understanding of potential family-level accumulation of relationship well-being and vulnerability. A latent profile analysis of 249 families of preadolescents identified four family profiles of parental self-efficacy: (1) …
Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
Teachers' self-efficacy and the sources of efficacy: A cross-cultural investigation in Japan and Finland
2019
The study explores the extent and sources of Teachers’ Self-Efficacy (TSE) for inclusive practices among 261 Japanese and 1123 Finnish teachers. Measurement invariance was tested to ensure the chosen scales’ cross-cultural validity. In both countries, mastery experience was identified as the strongest of the four sources contributing uniquely to TSE. However, the two groups differed in how verbal persuasion predicted TSE. The findings indicate that the effects of the four sources on TSE depend strongly on sociocultural context, and that, in Japan, other sources may exert a powerful influence. Practical implications are discussed, with particular regard to teacher training programs. peerRevi…
Teachers’ Perceived Self-Efficacy and Sense of Inadequacy across Grade 1 : Bidirectional Associations and Related Factors
2022
The present study investigated bidirectional associations between teachers’ sense of inadequacy and self-efficacy and factors related to them across one academic year. Teachers (N = 52) rated their sense of inadequacy and self-efficacy in fall and spring, and reported the number of students in need of support in spring. The results of cross-lagged path models showed that teachers’ sense of inadequacy in fall negatively predicted their subsequent self-efficacy, especially in the dimensions of student engagement and classroom management. In addition, teachers’ work experience and number of students with need of support in terms of social and behavioral problems were related to teacher self-ef…
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…
Insights into Finnish first-year pre-service teachers’ twenty-first century skills
2016
This study focuses on Finnish pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their twenty-first century skills, especially their learning strategies, collaboration and teamwork, as well as knowledge and attitudes related to ICT in education. The target group consist of 263 first-year pre-service teachers from three universities. The results outline how pre-service teachers perceive their twenty-first century skills, the relationships between different areas of these skills, and the differences among pre-service teachers in terms of perceived skills. The results indicate that the pre-service teachers perceive themselves as skilled learners in terms of learning strategies used as well as collaboration …
Principal self-efficacy and school climate as antecedents of collective teacher efficacy
2023
The importance of collective teacher efficacy (CTE) has been increasingly emphasised, but few studies have focused on how it can be enhanced. Since CTE is assumed to be related to factors that differ between schools, the belief-shaping sources of CTE could be related to principals’ beliefs of their efficacy. Moreover, a school climate that centralises teachers’ attempts to improve student learning could enhance CTE. This paper examines a proposed analytical model that links principal self-efficacy (PSE) to CTE, as mediated by the school climate. The model is tested via a multilevel analysis with data from 70 Finnish schools and 767 educators. The analysis revealed that PSE is partially and …
Dal liceo all’università: un modello sperimentale di orientamento
2019
In questo articolo, sono presentati il quadro teorico, le ipotesi, il disegno sperimentale e le fasi di una ricerca appena iniziata in sei scuole superiori di Palermo. Questa ricerca ha lo scopo di ridurre negli studenti il divario tra le conoscenze acquisite alla fine degli studi liceali e quelle richieste all'inizio dei corsi universitari e rafforzare la capacità di formulare il proprio progetto di vita professionale. Si sperimenterà l’azione congiunta di tre tipi di interventi: la scrittura espressiva per prefigurare il proprio futuro formativo-professionale, il colloquio di orientamento per esercitare la propria capacità decisionali e la conduzione di seminari pomeridiani tenuti da un p…
Jauniešu pašefektivitātes un apmierinātības ar dzīvi saistība ar vardarbības pieredzi bērnībā
2016
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas ir saistības starp pašefektivitāti, apmierinātību ar dzīvi un vardarbības pieredzi bērnībā. Pētījumā piedalījās 169 jaunieši (131 sieviete, 38 vīrieši) vecumā no 19 līdz 25 gadiem, vidējais vecums – 21,53 (SD = 1,85) gadi, kuri pašlaik studē dažādas izglītības iestādēs (universitāte, institūts, koledža, tehnikums, arodskola) un dzīvo dažādās Latvijas pilsētās. Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas šādas metodes: Bērnības traumas aptauja (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Bernstein & Fink, 1998), Apmierinātības ar dzīvi skala (Satisfaction With Life Scale, Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985), Vispārēja pašefektivitātes aptauja (General Self-Efficacy Scale,…
Pašefektivitātes un veselības kontroles lokusa saistība ar alternatīvās medicīnas izvēli pacientiem ar hronisko slimību
2018
Hronisko slimību pacientu populācija ar gadiem pieaug, sakarā ar hroniskās slimības specifiku modernā medicīna piedāvā iespējas, kas neietver sevī pilnīgu izārstēšanos, savukārt alternatīvās medicīnas metodes tādu iespēju patērētājiem piedāvā. Pamatojoties uz hroniskās slimības ilgumu pacients saskarās ar daudziem ekonomiskiem un psihosociāliem faktoriem, kas draud ar pašefektivitātes un veselības kontroles lokusa līmeņa mazināšanos un kā alternatīva atjaunot pašefektivitāti un kontroles izjūtu ir alternatīvās medicīnas metodes. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi iemesli liek hroniski slimiem pacientiem izvēlēties alternatīvās ārstēšanās metodes, un vai pastāv atšķirības pašefektivitāte…
