Instructor feedback on written assignments is one of the most important elements in the writing process, especially for students writing in English as a foreign language. However, students are often critical of both the amount and quality of the feedback they receive. In order to better understand what makes feedback effective, this study explored the nature of students’ assessments of the educational alliance, and how their receptivity to, perceptions of, and decisions about using their instructors’ feedback differed depending on how strong they believed the educational alliance to be. This exploratory case study found that students not only assessed the quality of the educational alliance based on goal compatibility, task relevance, and teacher effectiveness, but that there was also a reciprocal relationship between these elements. Furthermore, students’ perceptions of the educational alliance directly influenced how they perceived the feedback, which made the instructor’s choice of feedback method largely irrelevant. Stronger educational alliances resulted in higher instances of critical engagement, intrinsic motivation, and feelings of self-efficacy. The multidirectional influence of goal, task, and bond mean that instructors who want to maximize their feedback efforts need to attend to all three.
Men are currently underrepresented in traditionally female care-oriented (communal) engagement such as taking parental leave, whereas they are overrepresented in traditionally male (agentic) engagement such as breadwinning or leadership. We examined to what extent different prototypical representations of men affect men’s self-reported parental leave-taking intentions and more generally the future they can imagine for themselves with regard to work and care roles (i.e., their possible selves). We expected prototypes of men that combine the two basic stereotype dimensions of agency and communion to increase men’s communal intentions. In two experiments (N1 = 132, N2 = 233), we presented male participants with contrived newspaper articles that described the ideal man of today with varying degrees of agency and communion (between-subjects design with four conditions; combined agentic and communal vs. agentic vs. communal vs. control condition). Results of Experiment 1 were in line with the main hypothesis that especially presenting a combination of agency and communion increases men’s expectations for communal engagement: As compared to a control condition, men expected more to engage in caretaking in the future, reported higher parental leave-taking intentions, and tended to expect taking longer parental leave. Experiment 2 only partially replicated these findings, namely for parental leave-taking intentions. Both experiments additionally provided initial evidence for a contrast effect in that an exclusive focus on agency also increased men’s self-reported parental leave-taking intentions compared to the control condition. Yet, exclusively emphasizing communion in prototypes of men did not affect men’s communal intentions, which were high to begin with. We further did not find evidence for preregistered mechanisms. We discuss conditions and explanations for the emergence of these mixed effects as well as implications for the communication of gendered norms and barriers to men’s communal engagement more broadly.
The Coronavirus Pandemic has influenced the lives of many people. We analyzed the effects of physical activity and stress on students’ motivation during the Pandemic. Participants were 254 university students who reported their academic motivation, physical activity, general stress, the Coronavirus Pandemic strain, and their Coronavirus stress. Women reported higher levels of Coronavirus stress, general stress, and motivation. The Coronavirus stress was predicted by the strain of the Coronavirus Pandemic but not by physical activity. General stress and gender predicted mastery goals, and performance goals were predicted by general stress. Physical activity was not related to students’ motivation during the Pandemic. Higher levels of general stress were associated with higher academic motivation. Negative emotions like stress could have enhanced students’ motivation during uncertain times of the Pandemic. Moreover, a moderate stress level could be favorable for academic dedication and achievement.
Resumen del libro impreso : Walden, R. (2008). Psicología arquitectónica: Escuela, escuela superior y edificios de oficinas del futuro. Lengerich: Pabst Science Publishers. Las personas desean, por lo general, un “contr ol“ sobre las condiciones de su entorno (comp. Flammer, 1990; Burger, 1992). Esta necesidad queda de manifiesto en forma de autoorganizaciones de la arquitectura y la autorregulación de los factores de estrés. Por esta razón, el concepto de control del medio ambiente se aplica como criterio central para los entornos construidos en los tres estudios de caso: de la escuela, de la universidad y de la s oficinas. Los métodos de encuesta "Programming" (desarrollo del programa orientado al usuario), "U ser-Needs Analysis" (análisis de necesidades del usuario) y "Post-Occupancy Evaluation" (análisis post-ocupacional) se explican con vistas a su importancia para la "Building Performance Evaluation" (evaluación del rendimiento del edificio) (Preiser & Araña, 1997; 2005). La “evaluación arquitectónica de Koblenz“ se presenta como instrumento para evaluar los entornos construidos en tres variantes. Los resultados elegidos de dichos tres estudios se relacionan, a su vez, con dos entornos diferentes. Los efectos de la arquitectura sobre el rendimiento de los usuarios (comp. Estudios BOSTI, 1984 y 2001) se establecen en la parte empírica en tres estudios de edificios innovadores (Escuela Waldorf en Köln, Universidad de Koblenz, Post Tower en Bonn). La eficacia se mide a través de: 1) el rendimiento de aprendizaje y laboral, 2) el bienestar y 3) el control del medio ambiente, así como 4) el comportamiento social en el caso del estudio escola r y con la ayuda de 16 (edificios de oficina) y 21 (universidades) criterios psicológicos para el éxito de las organizaciones. La meta de los tres estudios es, entre otras cosas, revisar el concepto teórico de "control del medio ambiente" y poder dar nuevas recomendaciones para mejorar en las reformas y ta mbién en las nuevas construcciones. Por eso, dos planteamientos centrales son: en el análisis de necesidades del usuario, la opinión del edificio "en la actualidad", ¿se diferencia de la evaluación de la “importancia en el futuro”?; las características de la arquitectura ¿tienen repercusión en los criterios de rendimiento?. Con los estudios se desarrollaron tres teoremas según el enfoque de facetas (Borg, 1996) y dos esquemas para la evaluación de calidad de los edificios escolares y de oficinas. De los esquemas se obtuvieron: para la escuela, 139 preguntas para 26 profesores y 86 preguntas para 122 alumnos; para la escuela superior, 203 preguntas para 147 estudian tes y 28 docentes, así como para el edificio de oficinas 254 preguntas para 56 censores estudiantiles. Las características particulares de los edificios se calificaron mediante una escala de +2 ☺☺ ("en la actualidad" muy buenas y “en el futuro” muy importantes respectivamente) a –2 // ("en la actualidad" muy malas y “en el futuro“ muy insignificantes respectivamente). Los tres criterios principales de rendimiento, especialmente para la evaluación de la “importancia en el futuro“, están correlacionados uno con el otro en los tres estudios, por lo general, de manera sustancial y muy significativa, de manera que se puede esperar que una evaluación superior del control del medio ambiente llevada a cabo por los usuarios conduzca a más bienestar y que, sobre ambas variables, también puedan ser aumentadas las evaluaciones de rendimientos de aprendizaje y laboral “en el futuro“. Según los resultados de los tres estudios, los usuarios y los censores desean por ejemplo, en los tres entornos, la posibilidad de retiro: en la escuela, en forma de oficinas de alumnos, nichos y tresillos en el aula; en la universidad, en forma de bancos protegidos en el área exterior y mesas de trabajo, por ejemplo, en la cafetería; y en el edificio de ofic inas a través de menos transparencia en las oficinas compartidas y con eso menos visión de todas las actividades entre jefes y compañeros. Las relaciones de los criterios de rendimiento centrales establecidas en los tres estudios dejan suponer de modo justificado que, mediante mejoras concretas de aspectos importantes del entorno -sobre todo de aquellos que permiten el control del mismo-, se puede influir de manera positiva sobre el bienestar y, con esto, sobre el rendimiento de los usuarios. Palabras claves: necesidades del usuario, análisis; evaluación del rendimiento del edificio; control del medio ambiente (autoorganización, regulación de los factores de estrés, control social), bienestar, rendimientos de aprendizaje y laboral, comportamiento social; criterios del éxito de las Resumen 5 organizaciones; teoría de las facetas; esquema para la evaluación de la calidad de los edificios; recomendaciones para la construcción de edificios con visión de futuro.
Abstract for the print-book: Walden, R. (2008). Architectural Psychology: School, University Campus, and Office Building of the Future. Lengerich: Pabst Science Publishers (in German). The need for display of self in architecture and for users' self-regulation of stress factors, which demonstrate that users crave individual control of their environment (cf. Flammer, 1990; Burger, 1992) motivated this study to use the concept of environmental control as a central criterion for the evaluation of built environment. It was applied to three case studies: a school, a university campus, and an office building. Advantages and disadvantages of the data- gathering methods of architectural Programming, User-Needs Analysis, and Post-Occupancy Evaluation were analyzed to highlight their significance in terms of Building Performance Evaluation as described by Preiser and Sc hramm (1997, 2005). The “Koblenz Architecture Questionnaire” was used as an instrument for assessing the built environment of the three case studies, and the study reports selected findings from these questionnaires. The investigation seeks to determine the effect of architecture - especially buildings' provisions for user control of environmental conditions - on user performance (cf. BOSTI studies, 1984, 2001) in three innovative buildings: the Waldorf School in Cologne, the new campus for the University in Koblenz, and the Office Tower of the Deutsche Post World Net AG in Bonn. Performance is measured in terms of (1) Lear ning and Work Efficiency, (2) Well-being, (3) Environmental Control, (4) Social Behavior (the latter just for the school project), and by means of 21 and 16 additional psychological criteria for success of the organization in the cases of the university and the office building, respectively. The study aims, among other things, at reassessing the theoretical concept of 'environmental control' and at making recommendations for both improvement of existing buildings and the design of new projects. Two central questions are: In User-Needs Analysis, what is the difference between the assessment of a building for its current use and its estimated performance in future? Do certain architectural features influence user assessments on the given performance criteria? In the studies, three mapping sentences were developed according to the 'facet approach' (Borg, 1996) as well as two systems to judge the quality of school and office buildings. Using these systems, information was obtained in all three studies to construct questionnaires. In the school study, teachers were asked 139 questions, pupils 86 questions. Responses were obtained from 26 teachers and 122 pupils. For the university, 147 students and 28 faculty members responded to 203 questions. For the office building, 56 student-experts were asked 254 questions. Characteristics of the built environment were rated using the following scale: +2 ☺☺ (very good “at present”, and accordingly very important “in the future”) down to –2 // (very bad “at present”, and very unimportant “in the future”). A general finding was a high and significant co rrelation between the responses for the three main performance criteria in all three case studies, especially for the 'importance for the future' aspect. This supports the conclusion that a perception of higher degree of environmental control by users will lead to an increased sense of well-being and consequently, there will also be a higher expectation of improved work or learning efficiency 'in the future'. The three studies further show for example that users in all three environments desire 'retreat opportunities' which may take the form of student offices in schools, niches and small group seating in classrooms, and sheltered seating in outdoor areas and work tables in the cafeteria for the university. For the offices, users wanted more visual privacy (less transparent office partitions in Combi Offices) for less visual control of their activities by supervisors and co-workers. The relationships found by the studies between the responses on the central performance criteria and the spatial characteristics of the three buildings support the contention that focused improvements in the built environment, especially with respect to features that enhance user control of environmental conditions, will influence users’ well-being as well as work performance and work or learning efficiency in a positive way.
This study examines the contribution of saving and credit cooperatives (SACCOS) on the improvement of members‘ socio economic development in Rwanda: Opportunities and challenges‖, Evidence from Umwalimu SACCO- Huye District‖. The appearance of saving and credit cooperatives or credit unions has been known as remedy for social ills rooted in poverty because of its efficiency in loans or credits dispensation, social equality for enhancement and reduction of poverty amongst low income earners. Therefore, millions and millions of poor people and non-bankable in developing countries (or third world countries) have been provided access to formal financial services through saving and credit cooperatives‘ programs.
The targeted population concerned by the study was 1,940 members of USACCO from which a sample of 92 respondents was purposively selected. The study has adopted a combination of correlation and descriptive research design. It has employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected using questionnaire and interview and, while secondary data was collected using documentations techniques whereby, Manual of procedures and Credit policies of USACCO and financial reports have been consulted. The analysis of data was done using SPSS version 21. The data was presented in form of tables, charts and graphs designed by SPSS v. 21. The bio-characteristics of respondents showed that, the majority of respondents were women with 55.4%, majority of respondents‘ age is between 26 to 45 years Furthermore, and majority 77.20% of respondents were married. 100% of respondents attended school, where the majority of respondents attended secondary school with certificate A2.
The study has revealed that Umwalimu SACCO services offered to its members have a positive effect on the improvement of members‘ welfare. It was found that USACCO services have slightly affected income level of members, assets acquired, access to education and medical care as well as small income generating activities established by members in Huye District. The analysis of data also revealed that there are some variables which have effected USACCO members‘ socio-economic status, these were listed as: Education background of a member, number of dependents, the occupation of a member, and number of loans got from USACCO, government programs against teachers‘ welfare, and membership duration played very important role on the improvement of standard living of teachers. All these variables were found to have positive effects on teachers‘ socio-economic status, except the family size of respondents.
In addition, the findings showed that, the majority of respondents confirmed that, they did not find opportunities to save with other financial institutions, and other respondents did not have access to loan from other financial institutions due to complicated loan requirements. In addition, after they
have joined USACCO, their deplorable status somewhat changed, both socially and economically which has contributed to the improvement of their welfare. Therefore, the study testified that, the welfare of USACCO members in terms of assets acquired, income increased was improved compared to situation before joining USACCO. The study concludes that ―the level of improvement of living conditions of teachers depends largely to the level of loan granted by USACCO to teachers and membership duration. If the level of teachers‘ loan and saving increases, there will be also improvement of teachers‘ wellbeing‖ and finally, USACCO financial service is a veritable instrument for better improvement of economic and social conditions of teachers. The study recommends that, USACCO should provide frequent and regular trainings on business management game to their members. This could help members for good management of their loans and reducing loan defaulters‘ cases observed at USACCO. Challenges observed were lack of physical collateral security required by USACCO, complicated loan requirements terms and conditions and insufficient trainings on business management game.
