Exploring physical education teachers ‘everyday understandings’ of physical literacy     

Stephen Harvey  Shane Pill 《Sport, Education and Society》2013,18(8):841-854

ABSTRACT

In recent years, physical literacy (PL) has been the subject of increased publication, promotion, and speculation in physical education (PE). This research sought to understand how PE teachers interpret PL. We investigated teacher’s conceptualisations, understandings, practices, and ideas of ‘what’ PL stands for through a #Chat conversation with physical educators on Twitter. This generated qualitative data that were interpretively analysed. An ‘everyday philosophy’ of PL emerged from the physical educators’ relationship with the PL concept, alongside the notion that some use social media as a PL advocacy tool. A lack of sophistication was evident in the PE teachers understanding and operationalization of PL. We conclude that perhaps too much time and effort has been spent ‘adapting’ PL to national contexts, personal, and institutional agendas, rather than investing in the pedagogical and content knowledge of PE teachers to deliver on the concept of PL. We suggest that it is empirical research rather than academic opinionating that is needed to establish the validity of PL for PE.  相似文献   

Stealth marketisation: how international school policy is quietly challenging education systems in Asia     

Hyejin Kim 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2019,17(3):310-323

Across Asia, the international school scene has experienced marketisation and corporatisation. A consequence is that many wealthier families – outside of expatriate communities – view international schools as a desirable choice, and they seek ways to enrol their children in international schools. States have responded to this situation through policies that manage the boundaries between public or national school systems and international schools. States have made compromises in their international school policies – compromises that allow markets to creep into the broader education systems. This mode of market creation is subtle: Neither families nor state agents advocate for ‘choice’ as a value, nor are there public discourses around international schools in the region celebrating ‘choice’ in education. The compromises made in international school policy relate to whole education systems and have implications for inequality, citizenship, and national identity.  相似文献   

Mining social media divides: an analysis of K-12 U.S. School uses of Twitter

This study utilizes public data mining to explore participation divides of all available K-12 institutional Twitter accounts in the U.S. (n?=?8275 accounts, n?=?9,216,853 tweets). Results indicated that U.S. schools used Twitter to broadcast information on a variety of topics in a unidirectional manner and that hashtags included a variety of intended purposes, including affinity spaces, education topics, emotive language, and events. Those schools in wealthier, more populated areas were more likely to use Twitter, with wealthy, suburban schools being the most likely to use it and poor, rural schools being the least likely. Furthermore, factors such as charter school status and urbanity influenced the content of school tweets on key issues, with schools in more populated areas tweeting more about coding and college than schools in less populated areas and charter schools tweeting more about college and the politicized educational issue of common core than non-charters. These results reveal participation differences between schools based upon demographics and provides a basis for conducting future large-scale work on publicly available artifacts, such as school tweets, that may be meaningfully used as education research data.  相似文献   

Visualization of Twitter Data in the Classroom

The expression “big data” is ubiquitous in the business world today, but few undergraduate business students have the opportunity to gain practical experience with how new business analytics tools can be used in decision making. This article describes a set of hands‐on labs that prepare students to incorporate streaming data analysis into group research projects. Splunk is used to help students analyze and visualize streaming social media data. An evaluation of student projects and student survey results show that this practical approach of training students to manipulate and visualize big data was largely successful in achieving instructional goals.  相似文献

和日常社会生活过程一样，社会的变迁过程也是一个具有高度复杂性的过程。吉登斯、莫兰等人对此都做过一定的论述，但他们的论述都有局限性。本以美国学皮奥雷和撒贝尔有关现代工业生产技术变迁的一项研究成果为例，具体分析和说明了应该怎样全面准确地描述和理解社会变迁过程的复杂性。  相似文献

Parents’ views of an optimal school life: using Social Role Valorization to explore differences in parental perspectives when children have intellectual disability     

Glenys Mann  Karen Moni  Monica Cuskelly 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2016,29(7):964-979

Children with disability continue to experience disadvantage in their school lives; thus, the question of what makes up an optimal school life, and whether this is different for children with disability, becomes critical. This paper reports on research into parental views about an optimal school life and the usefulness of Social Role Valorization theory as a framework for exploring this issue. Six focus group interviews were used to collect data from 30 parents. Children of a variety of ages, with and without disability, were represented. All groups were similar in the aspects they regarded as optimal in a child’s school life. These fell into five categories: being connected, growth, personhood, basic needs, and happiness. Despite this similarity across groups, there were some notable differences in the detail; for example, parents of children with disability had a stronger focus on children being wanted, high expectations, and being seen as an individual.  相似文献   

关于思想道德修养课社会实践的几点思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

何尚文 《福建师大福清分校学报》2004,(1):55-56,54

思想道德修养课具有突出的实践性和修养性．强调引导大学生通过“知”、“行”统一进行自我修养。只有知行统一，才能加强思想道德修养课的针对性、主动性、实效性。思想道德修养课的社会实践要鼓励学生人人参与，而且要深入持久地开展下去，注重社会实践的实效性。校内社团活动、校外假期社会实践和青年志愿者活动是切实可行的社会实践方式。  相似文献
