SPORTING MOTIVATIONS OF STUDENTS WHO LIVE WITH DISABILITIES, IN THE LIGHT OF A REGIONAL RESEARCH

Among the sports motivations of children, victory occupies a very special place, success, achievement, the need to recognize performance, which predominantly expresses extrinsic orientation (Duda et al., 1992). Studies examining sports motivational factors for people with disabilities do not provide such a comprehensive system as research on intact sports. Thus, the survey of exercise habits and sports motivation factors that determine the quality of life of people with disabilities can be said to be a deficit area both domestically and internationally. The research examines the sports motivation factors of the 8-18 age group (n = 1158) and reports the results of primary research. I present the adaptation of the questionnaire conducted among the Hungarian disabled population to a child sample and its results. No such survey has yet been conducted in Hungary among children with disabilities. In the questionnaire research, the sports habits of young people with disabilities and the emergence of the role of health awareness in sports motivation. I process the data with the help of SPSS software, in addition to the basic statistics, I use the Chi2 test to examine the correlations.

Stimulating Students’ Motivation in the EFL Classroom

This study aimed to explore Sudanese EFL undergraduate students’ level and kinds of motivation towards learning English as a Foreign Language. Simple random sampling technique was used to select (25) firs-year students drawn exclusively from the English Language Department, at College of Languages, in University of Bahri. A questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. The data was then analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical method to interpret the data obtained from the above mentioned instrument. The findings revealed that most of Sudanese EFL students have extrinsic orientation towards English language learning. Therefore, the study recommended that EFL teachers should incorporate authentic teaching materials and content into their lecture plans to supplement and enhance textbook units and topics to encourage internal motivation in students and help them achieve their goals.

Is It Possible to Find Something Positive in Being Confined Due to COVID-19? Implications for Well-Being

In relation to COVID-19, little research has focused on the study of variables that affect well-being during this pandemic. The purpose of this research is twofold: (1) to find out if people experiencing a quarantine are able to appreciate any positive aspects of it, and to analyze how these responses are categorized and (2) to check if there are differences in levels of well-being according to these categories. There were 243 representative participants of the Spanish population according to sex, age, and educational level. The methodology was mixed, qualitative for the first objective and quantitative for the second. The first used the Thematic Network, while the second used logistic regression. From the qualitative analysis, three major categories were extracted: intrinsic orientation, extrinsic orientation, and empty orientation. The quantitative results showed a clear advantage in well-being for the intrinsically oriented group. The group of intrinsic orientation presented a better coping ability while the group of extrinsic orientation was as little adaptive as the group of empty orientation. Recommendations are extracted from the results.

A new dimension in geometric camera calibration

There are many test charts and software to determine the intrinsic geometric calibration of a camera including distortion. But all of these setups have a few problems in common. They are limited to finite object distances and require large test charts for calibrations at greater distances combined with powerful and uniform illumination. On production lines the workaround for this problem is often times the use of a relay lens which itself introduces geometric distortions and therefore inaccuracies that need to be compensated for. A solution to overcome these problems and limitations has originally been developed for space applications and has already become a common method for the calibration of satellite cameras. We have now turned the lab setup on an optical bench into a commercially available product that can be used for the calibration of a huge variety of cameras for different applications. This solution is based on a diffractive optical element (DOE) that gets illuminated by a plane wave generated with an expanded laser diode beam. In addition to the conventional methods the proposed one also provides the extrinsic orientation of the camera and therefore allows the adjustment of cameras to each other.

PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM (PAI) DALAM PENANGGULANGAN RADIKALISME

Indonesia is a plural and heterogeneous country, and has the potential for multi-ethnic, cultural, multi-religious wealth, all of which are the potential to build a large multicultural country, any religion has a tendency to carry out truth claims because religion is a belief value that must be held firmly by its adherents, the attitude of the truth claim will be positive if it is only intrinsic Orientation in its appreciation and application, not for extrinsic orientation that causes negative prejudice and conflict. Intrinsic religion fulfills all life with motivation and meaning, while extrinsic religion makes religion enslaved to support and justify personal interests, The aim of Islamic education is to form perfect human being.. then Islamic religious education is the solution to make followers of religion not included in the radical, by giving Learning and methods of Non-Radicalism Islamic Education,

Motivação intrínseca e extrínseca: diferenças no sexo e na idade

Resumo A orientação motivacional é um determinante crítico do nível e da qualidade da aprendizagem. Este estudo investigou os níveis de orientação motivacional e as possíveis diferenças entre idade e sexo em 142 crianças de nove e 10 anos alunos de escolas públicas. A "Scale of Intrisic versus Extrinsic Orientation in Classroom" de Harter (1980) foi o instrumento utilizado para a coleta de dados. A escala foi aplicada individualmente e lidaem voz alta pela pesquisadora para melhor compreensão da criança. Os resultados apontam para: (1) níveis moderados de motivação intrínseca em todas as dimensões investigadas; (2) semelhanças na orientação motivacional entre meninos e meninas; (3) semelhanças na orientação motivacional entre as idades. Os níveis moderados de motivação intrínseca apresentados indicam que as crianças deste estudo manifestam interesse nas tarefas e se envolvem com o processo de aprendizagem.

UNDERSTANDING CONSUMERS' PREDISPOSITIONS TOWARD NEW TECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTS: TAXONOMY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ADOPTION BEHAVIOUR

Consumers' rapid adoption of new products is a key factor in firms' market success. To adequately address consumer requirements and thereby increase their adoption of technological products, firms need knowledge about consumers' predispositions toward those products. Some consumers are simply more ready to adopt new products than others, which leaves firms puzzled as to how they should optimally market their new products. This study proposes a taxonomy, based on consumers' predispositions toward technological products. Relying on trait theory and data from 738 consumers, it identifies four consumer patterns that differ in their adoption behaviour. More intrinsically oriented consumers (i.e., technology all-rounders and hedonic technology users), driven by fun and their interest in technological products, express relatively high speed of adoption. In contrast, consumers who are directed by an extrinsic orientation (i.e., utilitarian technology users) or who score low on both intrinsic and extrinsic orientation (i.e., technology stragglers) exhibit the strongest reluctance to adopt new products.

Religious as quest and its relationship with intrinsic and extrinsic orientation

Allport and Ross (1967) originally developed the religious orientation concept, identifying two types: intrinsic and extrinsic orientation. Later, Batson (1976) conceptualized a third type: the quest orientation, measured by the unidimensional Quest Religious Orientation Scale. However, subsequent works have reported the presence of a three-factor structure: preparation, self-criticism and openness. The aim of this work was the adaptation of the Quest Religious Orientation Scale to the Argentinean context in order to account for its dimensionality and to analyze its relationship with I-E Age Universal Scale (intrinsic and extrinsic orientation) in a sample of 334 university students (36.2% men) with an age range of 18 to 42 years (M = 24.8, SD = 2.63). The main results indicate a better fit of the data to the three correlated dimensions model of the Quest Religious Orientation Scale. This model allowed us to distinguish the relationship of each factor and the intrinsic and extrinsic orientations discovering significant differential relationships.
