Motivation Scale

The aim of the present study was to adapt the educational motivation scale into an abbreviated version (EMS-SF), in addition to analyzing its psychometric properties for use with vocational training (VT) and baccalaureate students using structural equations. A cross-sectional and ex post facto study was conducted with a sample of 1,159 students from the autonomous community of Andalusia (Spain). IBM SPSS® and IBM AMOS® software programs were used for data analysis. With regard to the main outcomes, the scale reflected good fit indices in its short form, presenting a more parsimonious and easily understood questionnaire. The questionnaire was reduced from a total of 28–19 items. In the same way, the number of dimensions was reduced from seven to four, facilitating scale understanding and interpretation according to self-determination theory. As a main finding, it was observed that the most relevant items for baccalaureate students pertained to the pleasure derived from discovering things and to overcoming challenges, whereas in VT students, items pertaining to the satisfaction generated from exerting effort, achieving one’s best and being well paid were more relevant. In conclusion, findings urge the need to strengthen intrinsic motivation in VT students with the aim of avoiding demotivation and poor academic performance.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones existentes entre las motivaciones generadas por el docente de educación física con el género y nivel de práctica de actividad física de los adolescentes. Para ello se analizaron previamente las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Motivación Deportiva, para posteriormente en nuestra muestra establecer la baremación de la escala y conocer si existen diferencias por género y nivel de práctica de actividad física. Se utilizó la versión adaptada al español de la Escala de Motivación Deportiva. Se trata de un estudio no experimental, ex post factor, de carácter descriptivo y de corte transversal. Participaron un total de 315 adolescentes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de la Comunidad de Madrid, con una edad media de 14.2 ±1.6 años (52.2% hombres). Los resultados encontrados sugieren seguir el modelo de 7 factores, ya que presentaron un buen ajuste de los datos en cuanto a fiabilidad y validez. El mayor nivel de motivación encontrado correspondió con indicadores de motivación intrínseca. Las correlaciones muestran que las variables más relacionadas son las de motivación intrínseca. Los hombres tuvieron mayor motivación que las mujeres, excepto en motivación externa introyectada y No motivación. Los adolescentes más activos se sintieron más motivados que los sedentarios. Quedó evidenciado que el instrumento analizado es válido y fiable, recomendándose respetar la estructura de 7 factores, pudiéndose observar la correlación positiva entre niveles elevados de motivación con los varones y adolescentes activos.Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the relation between the motivations generated by the physical education teachers, gender, and level of physical practice in adolescents. For this reason, the psychometric characteristics of the Sports Motivation Scale were analyzed; successively, the scale was applied to our sample to assess differences by gender and levels of physical practice. A Spanish version of the Sports Motivation Scale was employed. This study is non-experimental, ex post facto, descriptive, and cross-sectional. A total of 315 adolescents (average age of 14.2 years; 52.2% men) from Compulsory Secondary Education in the Community of Madrid participated. Our results suggest to adopt the 7-factor model, since it presents a good data adjustment in terms of reliability and validity. Intrinsic motivation was the dimension showing the highest scores. The correlational analysis revealed intrinsic motivation variables as the most related. Men are more motivated than women, except in introjected external motivation and amotivation. The most active adolescents felt more motivated than the sedentary ones. Findings suggest that the analyzed instrument is valid and reliable when using the 7-factor structure, as a positive correlation between high levels of motivation and active males and adolescents could be observed.

Motivational development represents a key element for academic performance in the university context. A non-experimental study with a cross-sectional and ex post facto design through a single measurement in a single group was conducted. The sample was made up of a total of 2736 university students (♂ = 33.8% (n = 924); ♀ = 66.2% (n = 1812)) belonging to a total of 19 Spanish universities. The main instrument used was the Basic Psychological Needs scale, using the IBM SPSS 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) software for data analysis. The results showed that the need for autonomy was higher in social sciences students, those who accessed their studies through vocational training and those who attended their degree in person. In addition, this need was positively related to score, but inversely related to age and grade. The need for competence was higher in students who studied in private centers, those who accessed their university studies through other ways and those students who studied online. Likewise, this need was directly related to the score. Finally, it should be noted that the need for relationships was higher in university students from public institutions, students who accessed their studies through vocational training and those who studied in face-to-face universities. The need for a relationship correlated positively with the score, although with less strength than other needs. In this way, the relevance of various academic factors in the motivational development of students can be established, from which various educational implications are derived in order to favor academic performance.

This research aims to describe the relationship between resilience and burnout facing COVID-19 pandemics. The sample was n = 831 lecturers and professors of a Mexican public university. This study is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, explanatory, and ex post facto research using Structural Equations Modeling with latent variables under the partial least square’s method technique. We used the CD-RISC-25 and SBI questionnaires to measure resilience and burnout, respectively. Structural Equations Modeling (SEM–PLS) allowed the visualization of the exogenous variable (resilience) in endogenous variables (dimensions of SBI burnout: E9 guilt, E7 emotional exhaustion, E8 indolence, and E6 work illusion). To this day, there are very few previous studies that jointly analyze in Mexico the characteristics of resilience and burnout in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings show that resources availability has the strongest correlation with accomplishment in teaching, followed by cynicism and emotional exhaustion. These results have important professional implications.

Hablar de inclusión a nivel de centro inevitablemente lleva consigo hablar de una relación activa y positiva entre familia y escuela. En esta línea, se ha constatado la importancia de la participación de las familias en los centros escolares y su consecuente mejora en el rendimiento académico del alumnado; considerándose un factor clave en la prevención del abandono escolar. Este artículo se centra en determinar la perspectiva de las familias respecto al liderazgo inclusivo desarrollado por los equipos directivos, tales como los procesos de apertura hacia la comunidad y acciones que promuevan la participación, cooperación y reflexión hacia la diversidad en pro de un aprendizaje para todos. Se trata de una investigación cuantitativa de carácter descriptivo; la muestra estuvo compuesta por familiares de alumnos (N = 150). Utilizamos como herramienta el cuestionario: “Liderando la Educación Inclusiva” (LEI-Q). Los resultados muestran que las familias consideran que sus equipos directivos han implantado “sustancialmente” la mayor parte de las acciones que contribuyen a que sus centros sean inclusivos, promoviendo estrategias que reduzcan el abandono escolar. De esta manera se hace notable la necesidad de involucrar a las familias, para garantizar el éxito educativo y estimular a finalizar los estudios obligatorios y a continuar con una formación posterior. Talking about inclusion at a school level inevitably “involves an active and positive relationship between families and schools” (Simón, Giné y Echeita, 2016, p. 26). Along these lines, the importance of family participation in schools has been reported to lead to improvements in students’ academic performance, which, in turn, stands out as a key factor in the prevention of early school leaving. This article aims to determine the views of families on inclusive leadership measures developed by management teams, such as (i) opening the center to the community and the environment; and (ii) actions to encourage participation, address diversity, and prevent and manage conflict in centers so that learning can be for everybody. This is a descriptive quantitative investigation. In this sense, our sample is composed of students’ relatives (N = 150), who were asked to complete the questionnaire “Leading Inclusive Education” (LEI-Q) (León et al., 2016). This research is an ex post-facto cross-sectional investigation of a descriptive nature. The results obtained indicate that families perceive the efforts made by school management teams to foster inclusive schools, which, in turn, promotes strategies that reduce school dropout. In this way, it is essential to involve families in order to guarantee educational success and stimulate students’ completion of compulsory education and to continue their further training.

This present study evaluated nursing education based on problem-solving and learning based on problems originating from alumni's perceptions. This is an ex-post-facto cross-sectional study. Results were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches triangulation and through dialectical hermeneutics. In the quantitative approach 180 alumni answered a questionnaire. The qualitative approach involved 14 interviews that searched for meanings related to the notion of ideal care, in order to build indicators that would reveal this evaluation logic. These indicators guided the choice of triangulation questions. Results demonstrated that 85.1% of alumni are working in the nursing market, 92.1% have taken a post-graduate course and 99.1% believe they have the education required to deliver ethical, humanized and founded care. Data analysis demonstrates a compromised education as autonomy and knowledge are being built, and articulated to the Single Health System and the world nursing principles.

The purpose of this research is, on the one hand, to analyze the self-perception of future teachers of childhood education and primary education, and those studying for a master’s degree in secondary education teacher training on their Teacher Digital Competence (TDC), as well as the potential influence of gender, country and university institution of origin in their representations. On the other hand, it seeks to analyze the perception of future teachers on the TDC of their university trainers (formative perception). In accordance with these aims, a quantitative methodology of a non-experimental nature and of a prospective cross-sectional ex post facto approach has been used. A total of 428 students from two Spanish universities and from a French university agreed to participate in the research. The results report a positive and differential self-perception by gender of the TDC acquired and unfavorable perceptions of the digital competences of their teachers. These results confirm the need to improve the technological-manipulative and didactic training of university teachers, and to adapt the teaching competences to the demands of the Information and Communication Society (ICS) and to the guidelines of the Common Digital Competence Framework.

This paper presents the researchers’ interpretive analysis of data from the main study that was aimed at proposing the method that will plausibly be used to analyse the Grade 12 results and to compare performances of learners between provinces of South Africa. This cross-sectional, quantitative, and ex-post-facto designed study used secondary and clustered data, as supplied by Department of Basic Education through Umalusi council, to compare the likelihood of passing Grade 12 between male and female learners in the Gauteng Province, even after adjusting for school quintile. Thus, this work attempted to model the relation between school resources inputs and school outcomes called educational achievements or academic performances. The dataset contained a total of 98894 (45.44% male and 54.56% female) learners who set for Grade 12 examinations in 2008 academic. The crude estimates indicated that female learners than male learners were significantly 1.035 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.035, p = 0.016, 95% CI: 1.006 - 1.065). Also, the school quintile adjusted model indicated that female learners than their male counterparts were significantly 1.040 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.040, p = 0.010, 95% CI: 1.009 - 1.072). The significant effect of school quintile favoured female learners (p < 0.001). These results, from disaggregated analysis, indicated that there was sufficient evidence that female than male learners had better chances of passing Grade 12 in Gauteng Province. Therefore, authorities may consider the issue of learner-gender when allocating resources to different school In Gauteng Province.
