Forskning indikerer at kroppsøvingsfaget slik det presenteres i dag, ikke oppleves meningsfullt for alle elever, og med den rådende sportsdiskurs kan faget for noen virke mot sin hensikt (Säfvenbom, Haugen & Bulie, 2015). Vi vet lite om hvordan ulike organiseringsformer av kroppsøvingsfaget kan gjøre faget mer meningsfullt for flere elever. I denne studien undersøker vi gjennom kvalitative forskningsintervjuer med fem elever og et fokusgruppeintervju med fire lærere hvordan elever uttrykker seg om kroppsøving og egen motivasjon når de får mulighet til å gjennomføre en ny organiseringsform for kroppsøvingsfaget, «interessebasert kroppsøving» (IBKRØV). Organiseringsformen lar elevene få velge mellom to varianter av kroppsøving: «idrettsglede» og «bevegelsesglede». Begge variantene arbeider mot de samme kompetansemålene, men tilnærmingsmåten er ulik. Bevegelsesglede har en lekende tilnærming til aktivitet, mens idrettsglede fokuserer mer på idrettslig utvikling. Hovedideen med IBKRØV er at elevene skal få velge et kroppsøvingsfag med utgangspunkt i egne bevegelseserfaringer, verdier og interesser. Det ser ut som om IBKRØV klarer å legge til rette for trygge læringsmiljøer og et meningsfullt innhold i en selvbestemt kroppsøvingskontekst. Mer forskning trengs for å få mer nyansert kunnskap om IBKRØVs påvirkning på elevenes motivasjon, læring og utvikling gjennom ungdomsårene. Nøkkelord: idrettsglede, bevegelsesglede, motivasjon, interessebasert kropps-øving, autonomi, sosial tilhørighet, kompetanse Interest-based physical education AbstractResearch suggests that some students do not perceive the current physical education system as meaningful, and to them, the prevailing sports discourse in physical education could be counterproductive (Säfvenbom, Haugen & Bulie, 2015). There is little knowledge on how different forms of organisation can make physical education more meaningful for students. This study uses qualitative interviews with five pupils and a focus group of four teachers to examine how students experience physical education, and their motivation for physical edu¬cation, when they participate in a new organisational model known as “interest-based physical education” (IBPE). In IBPE, students may choose between either “joy of sport” or “joy of movement”. Students work towards the same competence goals in both models, but their approach will be different. Joy of movement has a playful approach to activity while joy of sport focuses more on sports development. The main idea of IBPE is that students may choose a model of physical education that accords with their own experiences, values and interests. In the current study, IBPE appears to facilitate autonomous motivation and create a learning environment where students experience a meaningful content in a safe and supportive context. Although the present results are encouraging, there is still a need for more research on the potential of IBPE to influence pupils’ motivation for and development in physical education.

Symbolic Boundary

In qualitative interviews, challenges such as deviations from the topic, interruptions, silences or counter-questions are inevitable. It is debatable whether the researcher should try to alleviate them or consider them as important indicators of power relations. In this methodological article, we adopt the latter view and examine the episodes of counter-talk that emerge in qualitative interviews on cultural practices among underprivileged popular classes by drawing on 49 individual and focus group interviews conducted in the highly egalitarian context of Finland. Our main aim is to demonstrate how counter-talk emerging in interview situations could be fruitfully analysed as moral boundary drawing. We identify three types of counter-talk: resisting the situation, resisting the topic, and resisting the interviewer. While the first type unites many of the typical challenges inherent to qualitative interviewing in general (silences, deviations from the topic and so forth), the second one shows that explicit taste distinctions are an important feature of counter-talk, yet the interviewees mostly discuss them as something belonging to the personal sphere. Finally, the third type reveals how the strongest counter-talk and clearest moral boundary stemmed from the interviewees’ attitudes towards the interviewer herself. We argue that counter-talk in general should be given more importance as a key element of the qualitative interview. We demonstrate that all three types of counter-talk are crucial to properly understanding the power relations and moral boundaries present in qualitative interviews and that cultural practices are a particularly good topic to tease them out.

The Relationship

As social media platforms have developed over the past decade, they are no longer simply sites for interactions and networked sociality; they also now facilitate backwards glances to previous times, moments, and events. Users’ past content is turned into definable objects that can be scored, rated, and resurfaced as “memories.” There is, then, a need to understand how metrics have come to shape digital and social media memory practices, and how the relationship between memory, data, and metrics can be further understood. This article seeks to outline some of the relations between social media, metrics, and memory. It examines how metrics shape remembrance of the past within social media. Drawing on qualitative interviews as well as focus group data, the article examines the ways in which metrics are implicated in memory making and memory practices. This article explores the effect of social media “likes” on people’s memory attachments and emotional associations with the past. The article then examines how memory features incentivize users to keep remembering through accumulation. It also examines how numerating engagements leads to a sense of competition in how the digital past is approached and experienced. Finally, the article explores the tensions that arise in quantifying people’s engagements with their memories. This article proposes the notion of quantified nostalgia in order to examine how metrics are variously performative in memory making, and how regimes of ordinary measures can figure in the engagement and reconstruction of the digital past in multiple ways.

Based on self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), an experimental study with middle school students participating in a physical education task and a correlational study with highly talented sport students investigated the motivating role of positive competence feedback on participants’ well-being, performance, and intention to participate. In Study 1, structural equation modeling favored the hypothesized motivational model, in which, after controlling for pretask perceived competence and competence valuation, feedback positively predicted competence satisfaction, which in turn predicted higher levels of vitality and greater intentions to participate, through the mediation of autonomous motivation. No effects on performance were found. Study 2 further showed that autonomous motivation mediated the relation between competence satisfaction and well-being, whereas amotivation mediated the negative relation between competence satisfaction and ill-being and rated performance. The discussion focuses on the motivational role of competence feedback in sports and physical education settings.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to observe the developmental trajectories of motivation types among young children from 8 to 12 years using a more comprehensive scale of physical education motivation. We also tested the relations between these trajectories and objective physical activity during this period. Design: Students in grades 5–7 (n=1202; 51.2% boys) were recruited from 17 elementary schools. Three cohorts completed the motivation questionnaire four times and objective physical activity was measured up to four times over a two years school period. Method: Measurement invariance of the scale was tested across cohorts and occasions. Multiple group multiple cohort growth models were estimated to determine motivation types trajectories. Regression models were then built to predict children’s slope of MVPA during this period. Results: We provided strong measurement invariance to a new and more comprehensive scale of PE motivation. Latent growth curve modeling indicated trajectories that decrease on average for all forms of motivations at this early age. Results also revealed some relations between motivation’s scores and objective physical activity trajectories, especially with autonomous motivation. Conclusions: Our study revealed the earliest decline of motivation towards physical education to have ever been highlighted in elementary school children. Relations between trajectory of intrinsic stimulation and PA behavior permitted us to highlight the possible role of autonomous motivation in minimizing the decline of children’s PA behavior during PE lesson.

Abstract BackgroundThe clinical learning environment is an important part of the nursing and midwifery training as it helps students to integrate theory into clinical practice. However, not all clinical learning environments foster positive learning. The aim of this study was to assess the experiences and perception of nursing and midwifery students of their clinical learning environment in Malawi.Methods A mixed-methods approach was used to collect data from nursing and midwifery students. Data were collected using a questionnaire and focus group discussions. Questionnaire data were collected using the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI). Data from focus group discussions were collected using an interview guide which had questions about clinical learning, supervision, assessment, communication and resources. Quantitative data were analysed by independent t-test and multivariate linear regression while qualitative data were analysed by thematic analysisResults A total of 126 participants completed the questionnaire data while 30 students participated in the focus group discussions. Satisfaction subscale had the highest mean score (M = 26.93, SD = 4.82) while Individualisation had the lowest mean score (M = 18.01, SD =3.50). Multiple linear regression analysis showed statistically significant association between Satisfaction with clinical learning environment and Personalization (β = 0.50, p = < 0.001), and Task orientation (β =0.16 p= < 0.05). Teaching and learning resources, hostile environment, poor relationship with a qualified staff, absence of clinical supervisors, and lack of resources were some of the challenges faced by students in their clinical learning environment.Conclusion The findings of this study show that although satisfaction with clinical learning environment had the highest scores, students encountered multifaceted challenges in their clinical learning environment. A collaborative effort from training institutions and hospitals is needed to better support students with their clinical learning.

The rapid development of ICT is constantly calling for society and economics, as well as our way of life. This tendency is being intensified these days by the transformation of the basic lifestyles, tasks and roles besides the changes of the education system and its components. The major shifts in technical and technological advancements have resulted in the development of the learning environment and the spread of digital learning therefore required the adjustment of learning forms and fundamental principles). Its signs are primarily visible in the changes of the classical teaching-learning methods, the redefining of the learning environment and the shifts of different roles.
