A Cross-Cultural Study of Argument Orientations of Turkish and American College Students: Is Silence Really Golden and Speech Silver for Turkish Students?

In this paper, we report on the orientations of Turkish college students to interpersonal arguing and compare them with American students’ predispositions for arguing. In measuring the argument orientations, a group of instruments was utilized: argument motivations, argument frames, and taking conflict personally. Turkish data come from 300 college students who were asked to complete self-report surveys. Analyses contrast the mean scores of the Turkish and American respondents, offer gender-based comparisons in the Turkish data, and show whether religiosity has an effect on Turkish students’ arguing orientations. In order to give an explanatory account of the argument motivations of Turkish college students, the relevant socio-cultural and political facts about Turkey were also considered. Our investigation has revealed that Turkish students have more advanced and positive understandings of interpersonal arguing compared to American ones. We have also found clear sex-typing between Turkish male and female students, and have discovered some limited evidence for religiosity’s relevance to interpersonal arguing.

Lastly, the moderating effect of university students motivation level was found to be statistically significant in the relationship between winter sports constraints and continuous participation intention.

Insufficient money and inadequate respect

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of financial factors on motivating college students to consider teaching in hard-to-staff rural schools. The role of perceived respectability of the profession was also explored.Design/methodology/approachThis work relies on an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, that surveyed college students across all majors at a regional public university, then interviewed a subset of participants to improve understanding. Quantitative and qualitative results were compared and synthesized.FindingsResults from an ordinal logistic regression demonstrate the importance of base salary, retirement benefits and respondents’ view of the respectability of the teaching profession as influential for their willingness to teach in the rural target school district. These findings were validated by the qualitative results that found perceptions of respectability had both a joint and separate influence with salaries. Results also demonstrate that most students were amenable to rural teaching and to lower starting salaries than their current chosen occupation, provided their individual minimum salary threshold was met (x¯=36percent above the state average beginning teacher salary).Originality/valueFew empirical studies exist that examine college student recruitment into rural hard-to-staff districts via a multimodal narrative. This study addresses this, focusing on college students across majors to explore both recruitment into the district and into the profession. This work is relevant considering the financial disinvestment in traditional public education and the de-professionalization of the teaching profession that has led to the recent season of teacher strikes in the USA.

An Intertextual Reading Intervention Program to Improve Reading Motivation of College Students

Objectives: Reading motivation remains a gap in literacy instruction, even at the tertiary level. This study is conducted to investigate if the Intertextual Reading Intervention (IRI) program could improve the reading motivation of first-year tertiary education students at Leyte Normal University. Methods: Fifty respondents were subjected to a one-semester intervention program which was conducted at the computer laboratory of the university. Reading survey was administered as pretest and posttest. Importantly, five intertextual modules were developed and used during the intervention. Findings: This study revealed that students’ reading motivation improved significantly as shown in the overall reading survey result: Posttest result (M = 81.6, SD = 6.5); pretest (M = 76.8, SD = 6.9), t (37) = 4.97, p = <.001. This indicates that the utilization of intertextual materials particularly media texts or Internet resources and technology (e.g. computer laboratory) could improve students’motivation to read. Applications/Improvements: Tertiary education demands reading various academic texts, both printed and digital media and most of these texts are long and not student-friendly, which means, concepts are complicated and heavy. Hence, educators could use intertextual materials which are relative to their students’ schemata, interest and have life-long implications to motivate their students to read. Further, the discouraging feeling of handling students who have very low motivation to read level could be lessened with the use of possible instructional reforms (e.g. intertextual strategies).

부모-자녀 간 의사소통이 대학생 자녀의 진로준비행동에 미치는 영향 : 내재적 동기와 진로결정자기효능감의 매개효과

This study aims to investigate the effects of parent-adolescent communication on career decision-making self-efficacy of college-age children. The ultimate goal is to facilitate functional communication between parents and their children so that children are able to achieve age-appropriate career development and eventually actively engage in career preparation with intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and confidence. To this end, 277 questionnaires were administered to current college students on and offline, and after excluding questionnaires with insincere responses, a total of 267 questionnaires were included in the final analysis. A multiple mediator model was established based on theoretical background, and the results of structural equation modeling are as follows. All variables were significantly correlated, and both the structural models for father-child communication and mother-child communication had a good fit. Regarding mediating effects, parent-adolescent communication did not directly affect career preparation behaviors but did indirectly affect behavior through the effects of internal motivation and career decision-making self-efficacy, confirming complete mediating effects of these two mediators. Furthermore, we compared R² values to examine whether the effects of father-child communication and mother-child communication on other variables differ. The results showed that R² did not differ among the variables with the exception of internal motivation, and there were no significant differences between groups. All in all, open communication with both parents increases internal motivation in college students, thereby encouraging them to choose their own career and act on their own decisions, thereby influencing career preparation behavior. In light of these findings, parents should strive to achieve open and positive communication with their children in order to help their children choose careers on their own.

Motivating College Students: Evidence from 20 Years of Anonymous Student Evaluations

The career outcomes of hundreds of college students, mostly biology majors, mentored by U.S. Presidential Awardee (PAESMEM) Steven Oppenheimer, over a 47 year period, at California State University, Northridge, were tracked and recorded. The motivational strategies that putatively helped lead to these career outcomes were gleaned from 20 years of anonymous student evaluations. In addition, evidence is presented that the motivational strategies, in some cases, were a likely cause of student career success and not just correlated with it. The student evaluations suggest that boundless energy, enthusiasm, clarity and organization keep students excited and engaged, helping to motivate them to succeed. Motivation at the pre-college level is also discussed, as by the time students enter college their career choices are often already made. These programs helped win a U.S. Presidential Award, the highest U.S. Award for student mentoring.

Exercise motivation of college students in relation to their Health related physical fitness

Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study aimed at investigating the relationship of self determined motivational styles to health related fitness and perceived competence of learning among female college students of physical education. To assess Self Regulatory Motivational Styles, Exercise Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Ryan, & Connell, 1989) was used, measuring four styles of motivation namely extrinsic motivation, introjected motivation, Identified and Intrinsic Motivation. To assess Health related fitness, AAPHERD Test (1980) was used. These tests were administered on 50 female physical education students in the age range of 18-25 years of Gorakhpur. Descriptive statistics and correlation were adopted to analyze the data. Results revealed that the extrinsic motivational style indicated a significant and a negative relationship with flexibility (lower back) among the students.

Exploring the Basic Psychological Needs Necessary for the Internalized Motivation of University Students with Smartphone Overdependence: Applying a Self-Determination Theory

Purpose: Smartphone overdependence in young adults is a growing issue, that requires a vigorous approach to manage its associated problems in the affected ones. This study was designed to suggest a detailed direction to help university students with smartphone overdependence, who would be internally motivated through satisfying their basic needs based on the self-determination theory (SDT). Methods: The data were collected via face-to-face interviews with twenty program providers, who have managed the program for preventing and treating the smartphone overdependence. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The data were analyzed using directed qualitative content analysis. Results: One core category emerged from the findings: ‘Empowering motivation of autonomous actor of change associated with environmental context,’ which three generic categories and seven subcategories supported. Apart from the three basic needs in the SDT, autonomy, relatedness, and competence, no additional concepts were mentioned, but the participants complained about the practical difficulties of running programs with non-motivated students. Conclusion: Our study findings emphasize that research and clinical practice for young people with smartphone overdependence should focus more on developing detailed program contents synchronized with theoretical and conceptual guidance.
