▼ The use of technology in mathematics education has many potentially positive outcomes. There is, however, little evidence to show where the use of technology has made a significant impact on mathematics education in South Africa. This study aims to address the issue of how computer tablets are currently used in the mathematics classroom. The researcher drew a comparison between learners who were taught with computer tablets and learners who were taught in the traditional way by evaluating the learners' progress after being taught on the topic of 3D images. This assessment was done in the form of a pre-test and a post-test that were administered to both classes on a topic of 3D images that was taught during this allocated time. The research is located in the third-generation activity theory. It is based on the socio-cultural theory of Lev Vygotsky, but it is blended with modern western theories as described by Engeström. The researcher made use of a mixed methods approach starting with a qualitative survey, followed by a pre-test, observations and concluding with a post-test. The pre-test and post-test determined whether cognitive knowledge was gained. The participants in the study were a group of 15-year-old learners at a private school where the one class was taught using computer tablets in the mathematics classroom, and the other class was taught the same content without computer tablets. A qualitative survey was sent to 27 schools within a particular school group where teachers indicated the popular Apps that were used in the mathematics classroom in this school group. Teachers also gave reasons why these were the Apps of choice and elaborated on how they were using these Apps. The quantitative part of this research was guided by the results of the survey and the 5 most popular Applications (Apps) were used in the teaching experiment. The quantitative part focused on two classrooms within the same school where the one class were taught with computer tablets and the other class were taught without the use of computer tablets. The t-test for this research showed that the group of learners who were taught with computer tablets achieved significantly better results than the class of learners who were taught using hard copy textbooks with traditional methods of teaching. This study showed that having computer tablets in schools can be effective in the mathematics classroom. The recommendations emanating from this study indicates that school who are planning to use computer tablets in the mathematics classroom should first plan their wi-fi capabilities with enough access points and internet access. These schools also need to decide on a type of computer tablet and what operating system to use. This decision has implications to the accessibility of quality Apps, battery life and storage space of the computer tablet. Schools are recommended to have a plan for training teachers in the use of this computer tablets especially regarding the pedagogical practice when interacting with learners. A last recommendation is to… Advisors/Committee Members: Govender, Rajendran (advisor).

▼ Corporations actively engage in the public policy process to manage the influence of the state and public policy. The pervasive role of corporations and their money in politics has caused controversies and discussion about the desirability and the extent of their influence on politics. Most of the theoretically oriented research on corporate political activity has emphasized mainly economic and strategic determinants of corporations and industries to investigate why corporations engage in political activities. Considering growing social pressures over corporate use of political activities, however, there is a need to pay more attention to social and institutional environments that are likely to affect corporate political activity. Thus, I build upon the institutional theory to investigate how corporate political activity as strategic, self-interested behavior is affected by various institutional conditions. Drawing on the institutional theory, I argue that corporate use of highly visible political tactics is likely to be constrained by institutional push-pull factors, such as changes in regulations, industry norms, and media attention to corporate political activity, to maintain legitimacy in institutional environments when they engage in political activity. Moreover, I argue that corporate use of highly visible political tactics is influenced by organizational factors that are likely to affect the degree to which corporations are susceptible to institutional forces. In this dissertation, I examine the corporate use of lobbying and campaign contributions of the S&P 500 companies from 1998 to 2012, which are highly visible due to their disclosure requirement in the United States and thus provide an appealing context to examine the social meaning attached to political activities in institutional environments.

▼ Every year thousands of overweight and obese people in the United States join weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers in an effort to become healthier and feel more attractive. Weight Watchers has increased its program focus on physical activity as a critical part of weight loss. Initiating a consistent physical activity routine, however, is generally one of the last behavior changes made by program members, despite its proven role in weight loss maintenance. Using self-determination theory as a framework, the purpose of this study was to examine how perceptions of fulfillment of three psychological needs (i.e. competence, autonomy, and relatedness), affected the motivation and physical activity patterns of five female Lifetime members of Weight Watchers, with the goal of exploring ways to facilitate motivation for physical activity in weight loss programs. The level of self-regulated motivation was also examined. Participants completed a Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Questionnaire, kept written exercise logs, and participated in an in depth interview. Perceived need satisfaction for competence and autonomy facilitated participation in physical activity, but perceived relatedness was a key to overall psychological need satisfaction. Family, mind/body connections, and structure emerged as factors that served to enhance or constrain need satisfaction, and ultimately as either catalysts promoting need satisfaction or barriers to activity. Four participants mentioned guilt, an introjected externally-regulated motivation, as one motive for engaging in activity, but all five mentioned better health as a more internally-regulated motivation for their activity behaviors. Only one participant made comments that could be classified as indicative of intrinsic motivation for physical activity. The findings suggest that for weight loss programs to help their members lose weight, and keep it off, participation in physical activity should be introduced in a way that motivates the members to incorporate it into their daily routines. Stressing improved health and fitness as a valued outcome of regular participation in physical activity and encouraging individuals to identify ways to satisfy the psychological need of relatedness through family support and structure are strategies that emerged in this study as having the potential to facilitate long term behavior change.

The Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry is in constant need of processes and standards that allow it to deliver projects within budget, time, and quality. A strategy that has helped to get closer to this goal is the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM). Adoption of BIM-related technologies is mostly limited to architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) actors, who handover the collection of design and construction data for the client but retrieving data from BIM models for operations and maintenance (O&M) activities is not as common as desired but it offers great potential to perform and support activities such as Assessment and Monitoring, Documentation, Emergency Management, Energy and Space Management, and Maintenance of Service Information. Processes, standards, and formats for integrating information about Operations and Maintenance in the design phase have been conceptually developed with a technical dimension approach toward activities, information, and solutions. Given that BIM is a socio-technical system, solutions must also consider a social perspective. For this reason, Activity Theory is used to analyse maintenance activities, their origin, elements related, and processes involved in their performance and, more specifically, their definition. The established theoretical lens considers information as the main product to deliver instead of a by-product of the models’ deliverables. Thus, it was determined, through a literature review, exploratory interviews, semi-structured interviews and the aforementioned analysis, that the integration of O&M personnel is not only usually late along the information lifecycle of an asset’s life, but that the required attributes that provide the necessary information to asset managers to perform their tasks are not even considered early enough in the project, commonly when it is already handed over. Integration of these actors along the already established processes is encouraged to ensure the information will not only be produced and transferred as required, but it will also be useful for other purposes that are included in the documentation of the project.

▼ NEW LITERACIES, NEW CONTEXTS? A THEORETICAL DEFINITION OF READING CONTEXT J Patrick Tiedemann This dissertation presents research that leads to a new conceptualization of reading context. The question that evokes this reconceptualization is whether the concepts of context that inform reading theory, research, and pedagogy effectively describe the complexity of reading in the age of technologically-mediated, multimodal reading. I contend that current understandings of reading context are atheoretical and outdated. This dissertation contributes to reading theory and research by providing a theoretically defensible conceptualization of reading context under the current conditions, a new theoretical definition that is useful for understanding print-based alphabetic reading and the rapidly changing ‘new’ reading practices developing in the current technological landscape. It contributes to reading theory by examining in depth a central idea in the literature that has until now gone undertheorized. Each chapter of this work is a round of analysis that defines a number of ‘constituents’ that comprise reading context. Chapter 3 begins with an analysis of reading context according to cognitive reading theories. This school of thought provides my construct with the sub-categories orthography, syntax, and semantics as well as Rosenblatt’s transactional understanding of the importance of an individual’s history of social and cultural experience. Chapter 4 examines the contextualizing dialectical structure of activity according to Cultural Historical Activity Theory, Dewey’s theory of the transactional and contextual situation, and context according to Contextualism. These three complimentary traditions lead to a working definition of context as the relational network of phenomena (material, linguistic, social, and conceptual) that gives an object its identity and meaning. Chapter 5 is an analysis of the constituents of context according to New Literacy Studies. NLS theory and research provide my construct with the sub-categories society (local and historical), culture (local and historical), history, politics, the material environment, time, and space. These are synthesized with the constituents derived from the previous rounds of analysis to provide my final definition of context that I then use to explore how the mediation of networked communication technologies alters reading context.

▼ This dissertation uses the framework of activity theory to understand the development and evolution of Hogwarts at Ravelry ([email protected]), an online group devoted to the interests of Harry Potter and fiber crafting (knitting, crocheting, weaving, and spinning yarn). The organization and practices of [email protected] are inspired by the popular Harry Potter book series, and members role-play as students of their own fiber crafting version of the magical school of Hogwarts. They take classes on Harry Potter topics, write reports, take tests, and craft items to submit as assignments.I argue that [email protected] is both an affinity group and a wildfire activity. It is an interest-driven community with particular characteristics that foster learning and production. It has a membership that is diverse in members’ individual needs and goals, but who are united through the shared values and collective object of the group. A core value of [email protected] is supporting individual members as well as the shared collective object.The dissertation takes as its moment of departure a series of events in [email protected]’s fifth school year, when participation declined and [email protected] leaders used role-play to reorganize the group’s practices and rules. Drawing from three years of participant observation, interviews, and archival research, I then trace [email protected]’s development from its creation through the end of its seventh school year. I argue that the participation problems of Year 5 were due to underlying contradictions that gradually shifted the system of activity away from the group’s original collective object to a new object that failed to support all members. Collective discussions about this shift resulted in an expansive cycle of learning, through which leaders and long-term members successfully analyzed and rectified the accumulating contradictions that were destabilizing and threatening the future of the group.Researchers have become increasingly interested in the possibilities and outcomes of affinity groups such as [email protected], but there is little understanding of how these groups develop and are sustained. I address this gap by making visible the process by which [email protected]'s developed, evolved, and was sustained over several years despite tensions and changing members and needs.

▼ The Australian dairy industry has a farmgate value of AU$3 billion and employs over 40,000 people across the supply chain. Without doubt, the success of the industry is based on a strong foundation of competitiveness, created through a long history of research, development and extension (RD&E). Understanding how the research and extension continuum works and learns together is a fundamental issue implicating the effectiveness of innovation development along with deployment of industry funding. Farmlets have been a key tool for Australian dairy RD&E, and are small scale dairy farms used to research farming system management issues. Within most of these projects is a team of researchers and extension practitioners working together with their regional farming community to improve management systems, and increase the profitability and sustainability. However, little is known as to what the requirements and possibilities for learning from these farmlet projects are. Anecdotal evidence suggested that farmlet stakeholders consider farmlets to be a learning platform for the dairy industry. But just how do farmlets act as a learning platform for the Australian dairy industry? Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) was used as the theoretical framework for underpinning this research. A qualitative, constructionist approach to the research methodology utilised four case studies of regional farmlet project activities which were supported by two national dairy project case studies, for analysing learning platforms. Evidence was sourced through interviews, participant observation and secondary data. Strassaurian Grounded Theory method was employed for data analysis, using Nvivo qualitative data analysis software and thematic analysis techniques. Critical to the approach was for the student to work within the programs both as a contributor to the teams activities and as an observer. This research concluded that farmlets do act as learning platforms for the Australian dairy industry which is defined as "an intellectual construction that aims to take the process, activities, outputs and outcomes that the dairy RD&E continuum use to set joint objectives and share physical and intellectual resources to manage adaptation". What underpins this construction is fundamentally a series of processes and contradictions that challenge cultural norms and adequacy of practice. It commands embracement and management of contradictions as a fundamental part to practice, rather than an inconvenience or interfering event. Overall, the research seeks to encourage broader questioning of not just on what we do in terms of dairy farming systems RD&E using farmlets, but how we work, learn and share knowledge throughout the process of implementing a project. It seeks to make a contribution to the domain of farming systems RD&E, along with stimulating greater dialogue and thinking and subsequent practices that will better capture and utilise transformation processes across the continuum. The new age of current competitiveness and accountability…

▼ Although teacher cognition has been explored widely, university tutor cognition of professional activities, such as evaluating and giving written feedback on students’ written work, has rarely been explored. Very few studies on teacher cognition of giving feedback have included data of real practice collected by think-aloud, observation, and stimulated recall. Traditional teacher cognition studies mainly focus on individual teachers’ beliefs and practices without in-depth study on how individual cognition evolves through and interacts with its social context in which individual teachers participate. It is the research space above that this thesis seeks to occupy, through an in-depth case study of the beliefs and practices of sixteen New Zealand university tutors who were employed in one of the university’s faculties to provide feedback on undergraduates’ assignments. In addition to exploring the beliefs and practices of this specific group of tutors, and the factors that influence these, the study aims to contribute to both the theoretical and methodological construction of teacher cognition studies by employing a holistic socio-cultural frame work based on Vygotsky’ s key notions of cognition, distributed cognition, and an activity theory approach. Data were collected chronologically across an academic year by five methods: preliminary survey for bio-data of participants and their general attitudes to giving feedback across the faculty, individual interviews for beliefs on giving feedback, think-aloud sessions on the actual practice of giving feedback, stimulated recall discussions as reflection in action, and focus group discussion as a means of collective reflection of various factors underlying their beliefs and practices. Data were firstly transcribed, stored, and open coded by NVivo8 for preliminary analysis and then analysed manually for deeper understanding of themes. Constant comparisons were made through the whole process of data analysis between data from different participants and between different sources of data. The findings reveal that there were convergences and divergences among tutors between their beliefs and practices about providing assessment feedback to the written work by undergraduate students. The convergences and divergences were due to the contextual factors in the activity system and tutors' previous experiences. The convergences and divergences of tutors’ beliefs resulted in emotional reactions. Tutors’ emotion interacts with cognition and actions (ECA interaction). The ECA interaction is affected by contextual factors in the activity system. The contradictions of the activity system constrain tutors’ cognition, cause negative emotions, and are often barriers to tutors’ work, but also form the potential of cognitive development. Co-operative effort is needed in the wider context of the activity to facilitate tutors’ cognitive development, promote positive emotions, and achieve a better outcome for the activity. It is concluded that a holistic socio-cultural framework of teacher… Advisors/Committee Members: Barnard, Roger (advisor), De Luca, Rosemary (advisor).

▼ Recent years have seen a renewed focus on the importance of the manufacturing sector to the future growth of the UK economy. Most critically perhaps, governance studies have linked the UKâ€™s strength in manufacturing to its ability to innovate. However, these studies also imply that to be more competitive, UK manufacturers must develop new products and processes across both emerging and established industries, availing themselves of new knowledge and solutions. This renewed emphasis on innovation requires effective engagement with a variety of actors and firms in the local, national, and global economy. Adding complexity, following Brexit, manufacturers will still have to outsource business activities and rely on existing EU suppliers and customers to help to drive innovation. Thus, in this unstable new situation, to be successful in creating novel products and services will require organisations to cultivate strong relationships. Therefore, this thesis examines how and when manufacturing firms can engage stakeholders more effectively across the innovation funnel, uncovering how those relationships affect development and decision-making and how they define courses of action and creative output. To this end, an ethnographic study was conducted at a manufacturing company in the UK that decided to make its innovation activities collaborative to develop a novel quality-inspection technology and new strategic framework. The underlying processes of engagement are understood under the framework of AT, through which the study offers a thorough analysis of how engagement evolves in practice, when this work is effective, and what consequences the promoted relationships have on stakeholdersâ€™ creativity and performance. As a result, this thesis establishes a stronger link between stakeholder engagement and open innovation discipline. It demonstrates also that for stakeholders to be meaningfully involved in innovation processes, they must first disengage from the norms, places, and situations that hinder their concentration and creativity. Drawing upon its analysis, this paper proposes for professionals a framework that can be applied to organise the engagement process in an open innovation context. Finally, thesis suggests that scholars investigate diverse industries and how organisations can tie stakeholder engagement to innovation strategies that, as the results explain, remain on periphery of manufacturersâ€™ organizational activities.

▼ The primary purpose of this case study research was to investigate the extent to which schools in Victoria implemented common state standards in their local curriculum. Standards-based curriculum has been advocated as a key strategy for promoting equal opportunities of learning and enhancing classroom instruction in Victorian schools. However, schools may have very different social settings, and the curriculum that students actually receive may vary significantly. A multiple-perspective research design was applied to inform a study of standards-based curriculum implementation in two Melbourne schools of different socioeconomic profile. The research design adopted a stratified approach: by first interrogating curriculum alignment with respect to year 9 science instruction and state standards, and then examining contextual influences on local school curriculum planning and implementation from the analytical perspectives of social reproduction theory and activity theory. Data for this study came from a larger study called the Alignment Project (AP). To generate an in-depth understanding of local curriculum planning and implementation in each school, the present study utilized various data sources from the AP. These included: interviews with the science teacher and coordinators responsible for school curriculum planning, video recordings of a complete series of lessons (constituting one year 9 science unit), teacher questionnaires for each lesson, and copies of school curricular and instructional materials as well as student work samples. The data was examined using different analytical frameworks in accordance with the research design. Comparative analyses between the two schools were facilitated by the similar content topic taught for the science unit. The findings from the alignment analyses revealed that the both schools and teachers interpreted expectations from state standards differently and each school provided a different enacted curriculum to the students. Subsequent analyses using a social reproduction lens suggested that the two schools maintained a stratified curriculum based on SES differences, but each teacher also adapted their instruction to meet perceived learning needs of their students. Extended analyses using activity theory however revealed that there was a lack of common goals between school policy planning and classroom enactment in the less affluent school, and this may have hindered the smooth implementation of the school curriculum. The findings from activity theory suggested that actual schooling processes should be viewed as dynamic and dialectic instead of ‘reproductive’. To conclude, this study demonstrated that standards-based curriculum implementation is most usefully seen as a dynamic and complex process. Research on standards-based curriculum must recognize that the implementation of mandated curricula is a dynamic process of re-interpretations and translations made by schools and teachers, which is shaped by multiple contextual influences. No one single theoretical lens can…

▼ Recent years have seen a renewed focus on the importance of the manufacturing sector to the future growth of the UK economy. Most critically perhaps, governance studies have linked the UK's strength in manufacturing to its ability to innovate. However, these studies also imply that to be more competitive, UK manufacturers must develop new products and processes across both emerging and established industries, availing themselves of new knowledge and solutions. This renewed emphasis on innovation requires effective engagement with a variety of actors and firms in the local, national, and global economy. Adding complexity, following Brexit, manufacturers will still have to outsource business activities and rely on existing EU suppliers and customers to help to drive innovation. Thus, in this unstable new situation, to be successful in creating novel products and services will require organisations to cultivate strong relationships. Therefore, this thesis examines how and when manufacturing firms can engage stakeholders more effectively across the innovation funnel, uncovering how those relationships affect development and decision-making and how they define courses of action and creative output. To this end, an ethnographic study was conducted at a manufacturing company in the UK that decided to make its innovation activities collaborative to develop a novel quality-inspection technology and new strategic framework. The underlying processes of engagement are understood under the framework of AT, through which the study offers a thorough analysis of how engagement evolves in practice, when this work is effective, and what consequences the promoted relationships have on stakeholders' creativity and performance. As a result, this thesis establishes a stronger link between stakeholder engagement and open innovation discipline. It demonstrates also that for stakeholders to be meaningfully involved in innovation processes, they must first disengage from the norms, places, and situations that hinder their concentration and creativity. Drawing upon its analysis, this paper proposes for professionals a framework that can be applied to organise the engagement process in an open innovation context. Finally, thesis suggests that scholars investigate diverse industries and how organisations can tie stakeholder engagement to innovation strategies that, as the results explain, remain on periphery of manufacturers' organizational activities.

▼ This thesis examined the contextual factors involved in teaching six students on the autistic spectrum (AS) in a regular primary school in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The research looked at the work of five teachers, including myself as a participant researcher. Through classroom observations and in depth conversations this research aimed to uncover how the teachers tried to meet the needs of their students on the AS and what affordances and/or constraints they encountered in their journeys. A social constructionist approach framed the research approach, together with a constructivist understanding of teaching and learning and these were used in conjunction with a philosophical activity theory base to explore mediators within the complex teaching and learning contexts. The contrast between teachers viewing the AS as a disability or a difference was found to be important to the way the teachers constructed their student’s value in the class or their willingness to try and meet the student’s needs. This is in line with findings that teachers’ attitudes towards disability are a key factor in the inclusiveness of teaching (Macartney & Morton, 2011; Tait & Purdie, 2000). The role of support professionals in developing inclusive teaching was found to be complex, being both affording and/or constraining for the classroom teacher. The complexity of teaching and the myriad of mediators (Lampert, 1985) involved in teaching students on the AS was analysed to uncover a number of key mediators. One of the key mediators was found to be teacher construction of the student on the AS as competent which was linked to the construction of teacher as competent (Morton, 2011). Key affordances to viewing the student on the AS as competent were the teacher having a belief in the value and worth of the student as a person and a learner and having an understanding of what it means to be a student on the AS. Teacher willingness to be student focused was found to be an important affording mediator, where there was a perceived conflict between student need and school or national policies.

▼ In the context of New Public Management, concepts such as lean have had a major impact among organizations in recent years with efficiency ideas based on customer focus. Moreover, the benefits of lean have served as solutions to the problems and challenges facing the public service. However, previous research is limited in public authority contexts to understand its applicability. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency is a public authority that started implementing lean in 2012 with the aim of streamlining its flow with continuous improvements based on customer value. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to examine how lean is expressed from idea to practice in two departments of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency as a public authority context. This, by illustrating the translation process of the management idea as a strategy based on a strategic and an operational department as an overall level and the everyday work within the core activity at the micro level. Thus, lean is a broad and flexible concept, but the focus of this thesis is on the concepts flow and value. Institutional theory and Scandinavian institutional theory, especially translation theory have been used to apply a model of decontextualization, translation arenas and contextualization, as well as central translators. This to understand how ideas are raised from a practice through various arenas and translated into another practice. To achieve the purpose of this thesis, a two-case study was conducted by the lean introduction of these two departments. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted with central managers and employees in the departments as well as with external consultants who have been involved in and influenced introduction of lean. This, in order to understand how the concepts have been translated from arenas and translators at two comparative levels. This thesis also contains internal documents and annual reports as well as observations that have been studied. Results presented in the paper contribute to existing research, with the translation of lean at the strategic and operational level within a public authority context. As such, the results indicate that translation is ongoing everywhere where a link between public and private activities is a way of how ideas are disseminated and translated. In addition, the introduction of lean in the departments had been introduced and tested to a minor extent at the strategic department before the introduction as a top-down process of the entire authority through informal relationships with Scania and Toyota. Analysis shows that the local translation process in both cases is an adaptation between lean and practice. Furthermore, lean did not change the everyday work completely, but was translated in a way that supported how the departments were organized before, rather than radically changing them. Additionally, the analysis shows that the translation of lean was affected by the private sector and other organizations in the area. The various arenas and translators play an important role in…

▼ The current study examines the relationship between offending and violent victimization among a sample of African American young adults using data from the Family and Community Health Study (FACHS). I test contrasting predictions derived from three major criminological perspectives. I examine the general strain theory prediction that violent victimization causes offending, and also the argument that this relationship is mediated by anger and depression. I test the lifestyle-exposure theory and routine activity theory claim that offending causes violent victimization through association with criminal peers. Finally, I examine the prediction of self-control theory that self-control is the ultimate cause of both offending and violent victimization. I also examine how self-control influences these relationships. To test these predictions, I employ structural equation modeling in cross-sectional and longitudinal data, focusing on the influence of self-control and the mediating roles of anger, depression, and criminal peers. I also examine how self-control moderates the relationship between offending and violent victimization using multi-group analyses that examine individuals with high self-control and those with low self-control. Results indicate moderate support for the predictions of general strain theory and limited support for the predictions of lifestyle theories and self-control theory. Violent victimization causes future offending, but little evidence suggests that these effects are mediated by negative emotions. Offending has a very weak influence on future violent victimization, but these effects are entirely mediated through criminal peers. Self-control does not influence future offending and only indirectly influences future violent victimization through criminal peers. As predicted, self-control moderates the influence of depression on offending. However, the effects of victimization on offending, anger on offending, offending on victimization, and criminal peers on victimization are not influenced by self-control.

▼ Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death in Canada and other developed countries. Physical activity based cardiac rehabilitation programs have been shown to reduce the likelihood of subsequent cardiac events and even reverse the disease process. However, factors influencing physical activity in cardiac patients are still not clearly understood. The overall objective of this dissertation was therefore to better understand motivation and physical activity in a cardiac rehabilitation context. Specifically, theory-based motivational variables were studied as correlates of physical activity. To accomplish this objective, a two-purpose research approach was taken. First, two articles (Article-1 and Article-2) aimed to test and integrate concepts from two strong motivational theories: Self-Efficacy Theory (SET) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) into one comprehensive model using the novel and rigorous approach of Noar and Zimmerman (2005). The second purpose of this dissertation was to extend the findings from the first purpose by investigating physical activity and motivational patterns over a 24-month period in cardiac patients (Article 3). With regards to the first purpose, Article-1 revealed that the integration of SDT and SET was feasible as the integrated model had good model fit, explained more variance in self-determined motivation, confidence, and physical activity and supported similar number of hypothesised links in a cross-sectional cardiac sample as well two other samples: primary care adults and university students. Due to the cross-sectional nature of Article-1, Article-2 tested the integrated SDT-SET model from cardiac patients with longitudinal data of patients following a cardiac rehabilitation program. Although no motivational variables predicted residual change in physical activity at 4-months, this longitudinal model was found to have good model fit. Across both articles, the integration of SDT and SET was found to be possible. However, more research is needed to further test the integration of these theories. As for the second purpose of this dissertation, Article-3 investigated physical activity and motivational patterns of cardiac rehabilitation participants over the course of 24 months. Distinct patterns were found for physical activity, self-determined motivation, barrier self-efficacy and outcome expectations. In addition, individuals in the higher patterns of the motivational/expectancy variables had greater probability of being in the maintenance physical activity pattern compared to individuals in the other motivational/expectancy patterns. Therefore, this article extended findings from the first purpose by linking SDT and SET variables to long-term physical activity behaviour. SDT and SET should continue to be investigated together in order to increase our understanding of the mechanisms leading to greater motivation and subsequent increases in physical activity levels. Having a theoretically supported pathway to build motivation is ideal to inform future interventions…
