OBS

In August, 2007, the Settlement Workers in Schools(SWIS) program sponsored a pilot project to prepare newly arrived youth for entry to eight(8) high schools in Ontario. Called Newcomer Orientation Week or NOW, this intensive orientation initiative was piloted in six(6) high schools in Toronto, one(1) in Peel Region and one(1) in Hamilton. The NOW program was strategically positioned to occur just prior to the beginning of the school year. In NOW, former newcomer students are trained to lead the activities with the newly arrived students. The overall concept of NOW is that newcomer youth begin to feel more comfortable in the school setting and, if they run into difficulties, know how to get support-from PLs, teachers and/or SWIS workers. The overall goal of NOW is : To give newcomer youth a head start in their new school by familiarizing them with the school building and routines, linking them to students already attending the school, and orienting them to sources of help as well as the “culture” of the Ontario educational system.

Le programme SONA a été élargi en 2008 et est maintenant offert à 40 écoles.

... the psychologist can describe to the team the basic tenets of goal setting. These tenets involve setting specific measurable goals, setting challenging but realistic goals, setting practice as well as competitive goals, making sure the goals are framed positively, setting target dates to keep focused, recording goals and making a public commitment, and setting both short-term and long-term goals.

CONT

Devant ces critères de réussite, il semble que la fixation d'objectifs est une des composantes essentielles pour atteindre le succès. Les objectifs de chaque athlète ont un impact sur le degré de satisfaction ou d'insatisfaction qu'il éprouve face à sa performance. En se fixant des objectifs, l'athlète s'attend à un rendement spécifique en terme de sa performance. Il peut alors trouver les informations nécessaires pour porter un jugement sur son exécution et bâtir ses perceptions face à la tâche.

Subject field(s)
  • Psychology (General)

CONT

Achievement goal theory postulates that, in the achievement setting of sport, two goal orientations are evident : task and ego. These goal orientations are linked to two different conceptions of ability. The first is the undifferentiated(or less differentiated) conception of ability, evident in most individuals below the age of about 12 years, whereby effort, luck and task difficulty cannot be distinguished from ability(or they are partly distinguished) as causes of outcomes(Nicholls, 1989).

CONT

A major tenet of achievement goal theory is that individuals will be predisposed to task and ego orientations as a result of socialization experiences in their sport and these orientations will subsequently influence whether an individual will adopt a task or ego goal in a specific situation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie (Généralités)
  • Éducation physique, entraînement des athlètes et psychologie du sport
CONT

Selon la théorie des buts d'accomplissement, le but motivationnel poursuivi conduit l'individu à expérimenter des états psychologiques spécifiques et identifiables. Ces états contribuent à la fois à la détermination des émotions et des cognitions éprouvées lors de l'accomplissement et à l'expression de conduites observables.

OBS

De manière générale, la théorie repose sur le postulat selon lequel les individus cherchent, dans les situations comme le sport, à démontrer leur compétence ou à éviter de faire preuve d'incompétence.
