O perfil motivacional de alunos de graduação em física / Motivational profile of undergraduate physics studentsLarissa da Cunha Badan Hirota 05 September 2018 (has links)
A motivação está fortemente ligada à qualidade do envolvimento do aluno com os estudos. Por esse motivo, ela vem sendo estudada nos vários níveis educacionais, desde o ensino infantil até o ensino superior. Uma das teorias que fundamenta os estudos em motivação é a Teoria da Autodeterminação, que define que o indivíduo pode transitar pela chamada linha do continuum, que é dividida em motivação intrínseca, motivação extrínseca e desmotivação. O presente trabalho buscou retratar o perfil motivacional de alunos dos cursos de graduação de Física e realizar uma análise segmentada por curso, ano de ingresso e sexo, assim como investigar a existência de alguma relação destes perfis com as variáveis desempenho acadêmico e perfil socioeconômico. A pesquisa foi realizada com 373 alunos regularmente matriculados nos cursos do Instituto de Física de São Carlos da Universidade de São Paulo. Os dados foram obtidos utilizando a Escala de Motivação Acadêmica (EMA). Além disso, os participantes também responderam a um questionário socioeconômico, e o desempenho acadêmico foi determinado pela média ponderada dos participantes no semestre de participação no estudo. A análise dos dados incluiu uma avaliação das propriedades psicométricas da EMA, a determinação dos perfis motivacionais e socioeconômico dos participantes e análises de correlação entre as variáveis de interesse. O perfil motivacional dos alunos avaliados se revelou predominantemente autônomo, sendo baixo o nível de desmotivação. Ao segmentarmos a análise, o perfil dos diferentes cursos similar, com predominância da motivação intrínseca por conhecimento, com pequena ressalva para o curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Exatas, que apresentou um perfil menos autônomo, com predominância da motivação extrínseca por identificação. Além disso, o sexo masculino apresentou um perfil ligeiramente mais autônomo quando comparado ao sexo feminino, similar ao apresentado pelos alunos ingressantes, quando comparados aos veteranos. Não foi encontrada correlação significativa entre o perfil motivacional e as variáveis de desempenho acadêmico e perfil socioeconômico. Em ambos os casos, nossa amostra apresenta nuances que demandam uma interpretação cuidadosa com relação a esses resultados. Dessa maneira, nossos dados contribuem não apenas para uma melhor caracterização do perfil motivacional no ensino superior em geral, mas particularmente na área de exatas, onde os dados ainda são escassos e onde se enfrenta uma série de problemas que podem estar associados à motivação dos alunos, como a alta evasão, por exemplo. / Motivation is strongly linked to the quality of the student´s involvement with the studies. For this reason, it has been studied at various levels of education, from kindergarten to higher education. One of the theories underlying motivational studies is the Self-Determination Theory, which defines that the individual can transit through the continuum line, which is divided into intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and amotivation. The present work aimed to determine the motivational profile of undergraduate physics students and to perform a segmented analysis by course, year of admission and sex, as well as to investigate the existence of correlation between these profiles and academic performance or socioeconomic profile. The research was carried out with 373 students regularly enrolled in the courses offered by São Carlos Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo. Data were obtained using the Academic Motivation Scale (EMA). In addition, participants also responded to a socioeconomic questionnaire, and academic performance was determined by the weighted average of the participants in the semester participating in the study. Data analysis included an evaluation of the psychometric properties of the EMA, the determination of the participants´ motivational and socioeconomic profiles, and correlation analyzes between the variables of interest. The motivational profile of the students was predominantly autonomous, and the level of motivation was low. When segmenting the analysis, the profile of the different courses was similar, with predominance of the intrinsic motivation for knowledge, except for the course of Licenciatura in Ciências Exatas, that presented a less autonomous profile, with predominance of the extrinsic motivation by identification. In addition, males presented a slightly more autonomous profile when compared to females, like that presented by university juniors when compared to seniors. There was no significant correlation between the motivational profile academic performance or socioeconomic profile. In both cases, our sample presents nuances that demand a careful interpretation of these results. Thus, our data contribute not only to a better characterization of the motivational profile in higher education in general, but particularly in science courses, where data is still scarce and a series of problems that may be associated to students´ motivation, such as high evasion, for instance, is present.

Influence of Psychological Needs and Gaming Motivation on Well-Being of Adult GamersSterling, Rene 01 January 2017 (has links)
Adult online gaming is a fast-growing global entertainment industry, and many gamers spend more time playing games and less time engaging in work or other activities, which negatively affects their lives and relationships. This quantitative study addressed how psychological needs and gaming motivation predicted gaming behavior, life satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction using a mediational model. The theoretical foundation was self-determination theory, which addresses how personal choices are influenced by internal factors, especially psychological needs and motivation. An online survey was used to collect self-reported data from a convenience sample of 935 adult gaming participants using the Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale, the Gaming Motivation Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Relationship Assessment Scale, and a short demographic questionnaire. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated gaming motivation was a significant mediator of life satisfaction and relationship satisfaction. However, gaming motivation was not a significant mediator of gaming behavior. Findings of this study indicate that for online gamers, quality of life (life satisfaction and relationship satisfaction) is enhanced when gaming motivation is high, suggesting that joy of gaming can positively influence other aspects of life, when psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) are positive as well.

Behavioral, Affective, and Cognitive Engagement of High School Music Students: Relation to Academic Achievement and Ensemble Performance RatingsPagán, Joel E. 22 June 2018 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to determine the relation between student engagement, academic achievement, and music ensemble performance ratings. The study was guided by two research questions: how do students’ varying degrees of student engagement relate to their academic achievement and their ensemble’s performance rating, and to what extent do behavioral, affective, and cognitive engagement predict ensemble performance ratings? Participants were 259 high school band students who completed the Classroom Engagement Inventory in Music. They were also asked to report their GPA, and the researcher recorded their ensemble’s performance rating. Results suggested that higher levels of student engagement were associated with higher levels of ensemble performance ratings (superior and excellent versus good), with a clear demarcation found between lower rated and higher rated ensembles. Although no significant correlation was found between academic achievement and student engagement, affective engagement was found to predict overall music performance outcomes.

WHAT MAKES YOU TICK? : EN STUDIE OM INRE OCH YTTRE MOTIVATIONHägg, Marina, Nordmalm, Susanna January 2009 (has links)
<p><em>Det finns mycket forskning som visar att motivation påverkar människan i organisationen. Motivation delas upp i inre och yttre motivation.

Motiverad att känna arbetsglädje nu? : Mindfulness betydelse för arbetsmotivation ocharbetstillfredsställelseForslin, Johan, Norén, Helena January 2010 (has links)
<p>Tidigare forskning har visat att mindfulness kan höja livskvaliteten inom en rad områden som till exempel välbefinnande, inre motivation och prestation. Dock saknas studier om dess inverkan på arbetslivet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka vilken roll mindfulness eventuellt kan spela för människan i arbetslivet, särskilt för arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsmotivation. Respondenter var 103 yrkesverksamma individer i olika åldrar och från olika yrkesgrupper, varav 78 kvinnor. En kvantitativ enkätstudie gjordes där respondenterna självskattade 81 påståenden bestående av de tre etablerade mätinstrumenten Five Facet Mindfulness Questionairre (FFMQ), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) och An Index of Job Satisfaction. Resultatet visade att mindfulness hade en liten betydelse för arbetsstillfredställelse och inre arbetsmotivation. Därav slutsatsen att mindfulness inverkan på arbetslivet förmodligen inte är lika stor som förväntat, men det bör göras fler studier av olika karaktär innan mindfulness kan borträknas som ett verktyg för arbetslivet, förslagsvis longitudinella experimentstudier innehållande mindfulnessträning.</p>

Motivation och målsättningar för motion: Ett självbestämmande perspektiv / Motivation and goal-setting in exercise behavior: A self-determination perspectiveLindgren, Sara January 2010 (has links)
<p>Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambanden mellan människors motivation till motion, hur de psykologiska behoven kan tillfredsställas samt hur målsättningar och självbestämmande motivationsprofil påverkar motionsbeteenden. Undersökningsdeltagarna i studien var 1100 motionärer (m = 45 år) som var medlemmar i en viktminskningsorganisation. Insamlingen av data skedde i form av en webbaserad enkätundersökning med mätinstrumenten Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, The Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale och Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire. Resultatet visade i stort att en inre reglerad motivationsprofil samt inre målsättningar har ett positivt samband med tillfredsställelse av både de psykologiska behoven och ansträngande träningssnivå. Vidare visade resultatet att inre målsättningar har ett positivt samband med en självbestämmande motivationsprofil. Uppbyggnad av en inre motivationsprofil med inre målsättningar kan leda till ökat motionsbeteende och välbefinnande. Kunskaper om detta kan leda till förbättrad hälsa på både individ- och gruppnivå och därmed påverka den globala folkhälsan.</p> / <p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between motivation for exercise, satisfaction of psychological needs and how goal-setting plus a self-determinated motivation profile affect the exercise behavior. The participants were 1100 members (M = 45 years) of a weight-loss organization. Collection of the data was made through a web based questionnaire that included the instruments Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, The Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale and Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire. The results showed that an identified and intrinsic regulated motivation profile along with internal goal-setting had a positive correlation with satisfaction of both the psychological needs and strenuous exercise behavior. Moreover the results showed that internal goals had a positive correlation with a self-determinated motivation profile. Development of an internal motivation profile with internal goal-setting can result in improved exercise behavior and well-being. Knowledge of these findings can improve the global health both on individual and group level.</p> / I samarbete med en viktminskningsorganisation

Självstyrande och kompetenta elever : - en studie om samhällskunskapslärares strategier för att skapa motivation att läraOscarsson, Petra January 2009 (has links)
<p><p>Forskning har tydligt visat att elevers motivation att lära har stor betydelse för elevers engagemang, prestation och välmående. I denna studie görs därför ett försök att lyfta fram lärares kunskaper och erfarenheter kring motivationsarbete genom intervjuer med fyra gymnasielärare i ämnet samhällskunskap. <em>Syftet</em> med studien är att utifrån ett lärarperspektiv, undersöka hur samhällskunskapslärare kan utforma sin undervisning med målet att skapa motivation att lära hos elever.</p><p>Vid bearbetningen av intervjumaterialet, identifierades fyra motivationsstrategier, vilka samtliga lärare framhöll som särskilt betydelsefulla. Dessa var att skapa goda lärar-elevrelationer, skapa meningsfullhet, skapa sammanhang samt att finna beröringspunkter till elevernas egna liv. Genom applicering av motivationsteorin Self-determination Theory, blev det även möjligt att öka förståelsen för de bakomliggande processer som av olika anledningar kan göra att dessa strategier fungerar motiverande på eleverna. Utifrån det teoretiska ramverket har strategiernas funktion och värde främst att göra med hur dessa relaterar och tar hänsyn till människans grundläggande behov av autonomi (självstyrning), kompetens och tillhörighet.</p></p>

Exploratory Study of Motivational Factors for Male and Female Ethiopian Long Distance RunnersBucan, Sanja 11 1900 (has links)
Based on Self-Determination Theory (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985a, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2002) this research focused on the motivation of ten elite Ethiopian male and female long distance runners. The semi-structured interview guide based on the SDT was transcribed verbatim and subjected to an inductive-deductive analysis approach based on the methodological guidance provided by Maykut & Morehouse (1994). Results revealed the integrated type of motivation to be the most evident among the runners.
The data were organized into three broad categories that emerged through the interviews. The three categories are nationalism, economics and fame. Within each category there are themes or subcategories that emerged across various perceptions of the Ethiopian runners. The data revealed that among different types of motivation classified by the Self-Determination Theory (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985a, 2000; Ryan & Deci, 2002) there are multiple social factors that influence Ethiopian runners as well.
