Motivations for Information Communication Technology (ICT) Use in EFL Teaching: An Exploratory Study of Primary School Teachers in Vietnam

Humans can be driven to behave by the perceived values of the behavior, or a certain force and motivation are assumed to be a factor guiding and energizing people’s behaviors. This study aimed to investigate what motivates primary school teachers in an underprivileged area of Vietnam to integrate ICT into their EFL teaching. Seven participants from different primary schools in Daklak, a mountainous province, were recruited to take part in one-on-one interviews that lasted 30 to 40 minutes. The interview guide was constructed by the researcher and sent to experts for feedback. Interviews were carried out in Vietnamese on the Skype platform. They were videotaped and transcribed afterwards. Relevant parts of the interviews were translated into English. The findings revealed four categories of motivations, including instructor-related motives, learner-related motives, accessibility-related motives and the user-friendliness of ICT. Consequently, the research findings provide valuable insights into how to motivate EFL primary school teachers in underpriviledged areas to integrate ICT into their classroom practices, which are beneficial for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers.

Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the brain based learning model is more effective in improving cognitive learning outcomes and student motivation compared to the direct instruction model.

Bucking the trend: Crop farmers' motivations for reintegrating livestock

CONTEXTEuropean farms and regions follow the trend of agricultural specialisation, which results in a disconnection between crop and livestock production. High-input specialised farming systems are continuing to be developed even though they generate negative environmental impacts. Despite these trends, a few pioneering farmers have intentionally reintegrated livestock onto crop farms in several regions. To date, research has rarely examined farmers' motivations to develop such systems. OBJECTIVEWe aimed to identify French farmers' motivations for reintegrating livestock onto specialised crop farms and into crop-producing regions. METHODSFollowing innovation-tracking principles, we identified 18 crop farmers who had reintegrated livestock in two regions where crop farming predominates: Occitanie and the Parisian Basin. The farmers' profiles varied in production mode, farm size, the crops and livestock produced, and the type and duration of livestock reintegration. Semi-directed interviews focused on the farmers' motivations for having reintegrated livestock. At the end of the interviews, we asked them to select and rank 10 of 36 cards that represented their main agronomic, economic, social and environmental motivations for crop-livestock farming. We transcribed the interviews and performed inductive content analysis, which was then triangulated with the farmers' rankings of the cards. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONSSeven categories of motivations for reintegrating livestock emerged from the interviews: following personal ethical and moral values, increasing and stabilising income, promoting ecosystem services, increasing self-sufficiency and traceability, connecting to the local community, decreasing pollution and keeping the landscape open.In both discourse analysis and motivation card rankings, agronomic motivations (including promoting ecosystem services) were predominant, especially improving soil life and fertility. Farmers ranked economic and social categories nearly equally. Improving and stabilising income was cited by 17/18 farmers in their discourse, consistently with the two most-selected economic motivation cards. Strengthening social connections was the most-selected social motivation in card rankings and was mentioned by 14/18 farmers in their discourse, particularly for connections among farmers. Environmental motivation cards were selected less often, except for environmental stewardship, which was consistent with the desire to build an environmentally friendly farming system to follow personal ethical and moral values mentioned by 10 farmers in their discourse. SIGNIFICANCEThis study is the first to provide a ranked summary of crop farmers' motivations for reintegrating livestock. Understanding this diversity is an initial step in incentivising, promoting and/or supporting the development of this innovative sustainable practice under favourable conditions and can encourage public actions that promote it.

Exploring patient and caregiver perceptions of the meaning of the patient partner role: a qualitative study

BackgroundThe re-conceptualization of patients’ and caregivers’ roles in research from study participants to co-researchers (“patient partners”) has led to growing pains within and outside the research community, such as how to effectively engage patients in research and as part of interdisciplinary teams. To support the growth of more successful research partnerships by developing a shared understanding of how patient partners conceptualize and contribute to their role, this study aimed to explore patient partners’ motivations for engagement and understanding of their role.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with participants (n = 13) of an online survey of activities and impacts of patient engagement in Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research projects. Eligibility criteria included being a patient partner that indicated interest in interview participation upon survey completion, the ability to read/write in English and provide informed consent. Data were analyzed thematically using an inductive, codebook thematic analysis.ResultsIlluminating the lived/living patient and caregiver experience was central to how most patient partners conceptualized the role in terms of its definition, purpose, value, and responsibilities. Participants also identified four additional categories of motivations for becoming a patient partner and contributions that patient partners make to research that build upon and are in addition to sharing their lived/living experiences. Lastly, participants highlighted important connotations of the term patient partner, including temporal and context-specific considerations for the term “patient” and what “partner” may imply about the nature of the research relationship.ConclusionsAt the onset of partnership, academic researchers and patient partners must create the space necessary to discuss and understand each other’s underlying motivations for partnering and their perspectives on the purpose, value, and responsibilities of the patient partner role. These early conversations should help unearth what research partners hope to get out of and feel that they are able to contribute to engaging, and in such contribute to the development of reciprocal relationships that work towards shared and valued goals.Trial registration Not applicable.

Hodge cohomology with a ramification filtration, I

We consider a filtration on the cohomology of the structure sheaf indexed by (not necessarily reduced) divisors “at infinity”. We show that the filtered pieces are functorial with respect to transfers, have fpqc descent, and are so called cube invariant. In the presence of resolution of singularities and weak factorisation they are invariant under blowup “at infinity”. As such, they lead to a realisation functor from Kahn, Miyazaki, Saito and Yamazaki’s category of motives with modulus over a characteristic zero base field.

Factors influencing engagement in advance care planning in the community: A mixed-research synthesis

Abstract Background The development of innovative Advance Care Planning (ACP) health behaviour change interventions for adults (≥50 years old) in the community should be informed by a findings synthesis. The objectives of this review were to (a) identify stakeholders' perspectives on facilitators and barriers to ACP behaviours and (b) map these factors across the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation dimensions of behaviour (COM-B model). Methods This hybrid mixed-research synthesis followed a published protocol. Content analysis was applied to the results sections of the included studies. Data transformation and triangulation processes underpinned findings integration (4,5). Results The review included 117 records and studies recruited patients (62%), service providers (29%), and trusted others (9%). ACP behaviours were ACP as a general concept, (41%), communication (28.7%), documentation (22%), decision-making (5.3%), or surrogate appointment (3%). Ten categories of influencing factors were identified, ranked according to frequency of reporting. They included Connectedness, Psychological Factors, Metapreferences, Service Provision, Temporality, Sociodemographic Characteristics, Literacy, Resources, Experience, and Macro-Level Factors. Their sub-categories (52 in total) were mapped across the COM-B model. The most frequently reported Motivation sub-categories were Comfort and Readiness (n = 78), Actors and Roles Requirements (n = 56), and Perceptions and Beliefs (n = 45). The Opportunity dimension included Communication and Understanding (n = 43), Effect of the Other (n = 42), and Involvement and Collaboration (n = 41). The top Capability sub-category was ACP literacy (n = 43). Discussion The triangulation of stakeholders' perspectives facilitated identification a complex array of factors influencing ACP behaviours. Their mapping across the COM-B model informed future research, policy, and ACP intervention development. Key messages • Stakeholders’ engagement in ACP behaviours is influenced by a complex array of factors, with the majority of them falling into the categories of motivation and opportunity. • Future ACP interventions design need to build on this learning and develop strategies and policies that support meaningful stakeholders’ engagement in ACP activities, including their collaboration.

A Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem and residue sequences for logarithmic Hochschild homology

This paper incorporates the theory of Hochschild homology into our program on log motives. We discuss a geometric definition of logarithmic Hochschild homology of animated pre-log rings and construct an André-Quillen type spectral sequence. The latter degenerates for derived log smooth maps between discrete pre-log rings. We employ this to show a logarithmic version of the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem and that logarithmic Hochschild homology is representable in the category of log motives. Among the applications, we deduce a generalized residue sequence involving blow-ups of log schemes.

ONLINE LEARNING: AN ANALYSIS OF MOTIVATION PAI LEARNING

The importance of learning motivation is as a form of encouragement in learning that arises in students consciously to carry out learning activities, making it easier to achieve learning goals in PAI subjects at SMP Muhammadiyah. The purpose of this study is to determine the motivation to learn. This type of research is mixed methods, which is the subject of 67 grade VIII students of SMPN 8 Palangka Raya and the informant is a PAI teacher. Data collection techniques are using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation.

The results showed that student motivation in learning PAI at SMPN 8 Palangka Raya with a low level of 32.83%, a medium level of 44.77%, a high level of 20.89% and a very high level of 1.49%. So it can be concluded that overall student motivation in participating in PAI learning is 74.82% included in the medium motivation category. The intrinsic factors that affect student motivation include student perseverance in participating in PAI learning, feeling needed in PAI Learning and the existence of hopes and aspirations with PAI learning. While extrinsic factors such as a conducive learning environment, teachers who teach PAI learning and facilities in PAI learning.

Motivations Associated with Food Choices among Adults from Urban Setting.

Motivation for food choices is one of the most important determinant of eating behavior, because it comes from within the person. The aim of this study was to observe food choice motivations and estimate differences in demographic and health characteristics towards food choice motives in the adult population (n = 675; 54% women, ≥18 years) from urban setting. Food choice motivations were assessed using an online questionnaire validated by the EATMOT project. Using K-Means cluster analysis, participants were divided into two clusters of six motivational categories for food choices. Regarding the most and least important motivations, participants in cluster 1 chose food based on emotional motivations, and in cluster 2, they chose based on environmental and political motivations. In addition, younger and obese individuals had more pronounced emotional motivations. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need to address emotional motivations for healthier food choices among overweight and young people. In addition, the prevalence of health motivations and growing awareness of sustainability indicate a willingness to take actions that benefit personal health and the environment. Apart from providing education, it is society's responsibility to create an environment that promotes the implementation of acquired knowledge and changes in dietary habits.

Variations in Hate Crime Cases by Bias Motivation Type: Findings From the National Hate Crime Investigation Study (NHCIS)

Accurate and detailed information on the nature of hate crimes in the United States has been hindered by limitations in the compiling of hate crime statistics. The National Hate Crime Investigation Study (NHCIS) collected data from a nationally representative sample of law enforcement agencies across the U.S. about the numbers of hate crimes investigated during 2018. Results show differences in a variety of case characteristics across four major categories of bias motivation (race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation/gender identity, and disability). Results suggest that police may miss hate crimes with bias motivations that are not clearly connected to common culturally recognized indicators. Training around non-stereotypical hate crime cases may help to identify and strengthen hate crime evidence.

Continuing professional development of vocational teachers in Kenya: Motivations, practices and teacher profiles

PurposeDespite the important role that motivation plays in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of teachers, it is not always clear what motives guide vocational teachers in their CPD. This study therefore investigated the motives vocational teachers have for participating in CPD and how those motives influence their CPD practices. MethodsThe study adopted a qualitative approach, wherein data collected using semi-structured interviews with vocational teachers was inductively coded to identify how motives influence CPD practices. Vocational teachers were viewed as adult learners while motivation was conceptualized as dynamic and contingent upon an individual's context. FindingsVocational teachers in Kenya were found to engage in both formal and informal CPD guided by different motives. Four distinct categories of motives were identified related to the search for performance competence, status and authority, relief from routine, and compliance with requirements. Further analysis revealed four motivational orientations characterized by underlying motives, their associated CPD practices, and teacher profiles. ValueThe resulting characterization of motives, practices, and teacher profiles enables prediction and empirical verification of which vocational teachers are likely to adopt a particular learning method and what content they are likely to focus on. Further empirical verification is called for.

Examining the Motivations Underlying International Students’ Migration Behaviors: the Case of Master’s Students in Spain

This study aims to examine the motivations that international graduate students have to either migrate or return home after completing their master’s degree in Spain, one of the most important and yet under-researched host countries in the international European education arena. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 63 international students graduated in a business field of a top-tier highly international private university. Through thematic analysis, we extracted 113 themes, 70 from the group that decided to migrate and 43 from the group that decided to return to their home country. These themes were classified under 13 motivation categories, 5 of them being work-related and 8 non-work-related, thus resulting in a 2 × 2 factor model. Work-related motivations to migrate included the perception of better career opportunities and the desire to work for an ideal company. Salary played a limited role. Non-work-related motivations to migrate included having a global identity, which to our knowledge has not been identified before, and not returning home for political reasons. Work-related motivations for returning included not seeing job opportunities abroad and seeing higher job opportunities in the home country. Non-work-related motivations for returning included the pandemic, personal motivations, and mobility restrictions. Results from this case study bring new insights about the phenomenological motivations of this population for deciding whether to pursue an international career or not and can therefore help professionals like policy makers and career advisors to develop and implement appropriate measures to support their decisions.

Antecedents of employee intrapreneurship in the public sector: a proactive motivation approach

Public servants’ intrapreneurship (entrepreneurial actions performed by employees from within an organization) is gaining importance as a micro-foundation of public sector innovation and improved service delivery. This study addresses this topic from a proactive motivation perspective and using weekly diary surveys filled out by 757 public servants from 37 departments of the Dutch national public administration for five consecutive weeks (n = 2279 datapoints). Confirmatory factor analyses showed that antecedents of intrapreneurship could be grouped into three categories of proactive motivation: (1) reason-to (prosocial impact, job accountability), (2) can-do (job autonomy, self-efficacy, optimism), and (3) energized-to (work engagement). Multilevel structural equation modeling showed that public servants reported more intrapreneurial behavior when they had more reason-to and were energized-to be proactive. Can-do motivation moderated (strengthened) these relationships. Necessary conditions analyses showed that each predictor was essential, emphasizing the importance of careful alignment of human resource practices aimed at evoking different types of proactive motivation.

Motivation for User-Generated Translation on Chinese Online Video Platform

This article presents a socio-cultural study of user-generated translation (UGT), which is increasingly gaining momentum on Chinese social media platforms and presents itself as a subculture on online communities. Using Bilibili.com as the test-ground of study, this article designs an inclusive questionnaire and conducts sociological and psychological analysis on the motivation for UGT by 17 uploaders that are selected based on their different influence and translation field. The study finds that at least six categories of motivation contribute to these user-translators’ good-will practice, both altruistically and utilitarianly. We believe our methodology and findings can pave way for further investigation into the complexities and nature of this new type of audio-visual translation by grass-roots in a digital era and participatory culture.

The Why of the Teaching Profession: Validation of a Structural Model of Teacher Motivations

The aim of this work was to validate an empirical model that integrates the different motivational categories that explain the decision to become a teacher. This work provides empirical evidence of the psychometric quality of the instrument used, CUMODE. On the basis of this instrument, a structural model is validated that integrates the different types of motivations associated with teaching. The participants in the study were 228 active teachers and 389 trainee teachers. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to the data in order to extract their structure. Cronbach’s test was used to analyze the internal consistency of each item. The results showed an adequate KMO index of 0.907. The third refined model consisted of 14 items and obtained adequate fit indexes: χ2 (df = 129) = 2.74, CFI = 0.94, GFI = 0.88, RMSEA = 0.09 (90% CI = 0.07–11), and SRMR = 0.07. Finally, a confirmatory factor analysis was applied with a sample of trainee teachers to validate the model. The model is equally valid for the sample of trainee teachers.

An exploration of esports fan identity, engagement practices, and motives

As esports continues to grow in popularity, it is important to evaluate esports viewers and the fan communities that form around esports. The present study surveyed esports fans (N = 174) to examine motives for watching esports, how those motives may relate to engagement behaviors within the esports community, and if the strength of fan identity mediated the relationship between motives and engagement. The three categories of motives assessed were skill-based, entertainment-based, and relationship-based. Results suggest that the strength of fan identity predicts both viewing frequency and engagement online within esports communities. Skill-based motives predicted greater viewing frequency, while relationship-based motives predicted both viewing frequency and engagement online. Mediation analysis revealed that fan identity partially mediated skill-based motives and fully mediated relationship-based motives. Entertainment-based motives did not predict viewing or engagement. Together, our results provide additional insight into esports fandoms, and the significance of relationships formed and sustained.
