Creativity as a developmental resource in sport training activities     

Ludvig J. T. Rasmussen  Lars D. Østergaard  Vlad P. Glăveanu 《Sport, Education and Society》2019,24(5):491-506

The multidimensional concept of creativity has a much wider scope of application than disclosed by prevailing research on sporting creativity. In this area, creativity is mostly perceived, praised, and approached for its performative, in-game benefits. Pointing to the belief that creativity requires well-developed technical skills, this phenomenon is often treated as a performative end. When targeting creative match performances, the developmental and experiential benefits of creative activities may be neglected, and creativity may be reserved for the best offensive players. To nourish and nuance practical and scholastic dialogues, the purpose of this paper is to conceptualize creativity as a developmental resource in sport training activities. This is accomplished by building on and articulating [Shilling, C. (2005). Body in culture, technology and society. London: SAGE] body-sociology, [Gl?veanu, V. P. (2012). What can be done with an egg? Creativity, material objects, and the theory of affordances.

Democracy and education– an introduction to the philosophy of education. New York, NY: The Free Press.] educational philosophy. Based on these positions, creativity is treated as a dynamic quality of action that is located in the transaction between the player and the specific situation (i.e. affordances, intentions, and norms). Hence, creativity regards the exploratory and playful processes of discovering, exploiting, and originating unusual action possibilities (i.e. acting on unperceived, unexploited, and uninvented affordances). Grounded in these ideas, we argue for the stimulation of creative actions during training, which should not be forgotten when trying to nurture in-game creativity. Essentially, the developmental benefits (e.g. learning and enjoyment) of creativity could apply to all players, at all levels. Among others, creativity may enhance their situated potential (e.g. expanding the boundaries of usual actions; developing the capacity for novel actions). For instance, the exploration of unexploited affordances (i.e. actions normally avoided due to norms) entails broad experiences and may help the players discover novel actions. Moreover, creative activities may develop the players’ capacity to search for, handle, and/or create unexpected, unusual, and novel situations. This is vital for players’ development and performance.  相似文献

Ørjar Øyen 《Higher Education in Europe》1995,20(3):138-142

This article traces the efforts of the Inter‐University Centre of Dubrovnik (Croatia) to cope with the destruction of its building in December 1991 and in general with the war in former Yugoslavia and the political changes in Europe as a whole since 1990. Some idea of the history of the Centre is given, its course offerings, and its hopes for the future.  相似文献   

THE CHANGING FACE OF THE UNIVERSITY AND THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH     

Ørjar Øyen 《Higher Education in Europe》1990,15(1):63-66

As everyone knows, the aims and the goals of university life are quite frequently contradictory. This characteristic is no less true of the internationalization of higher education by means of various forms of international co‐operation: faculty and student exchanges and the like. Often the universities of given nations will engage in such ventures so that they and their backers, specific national enterprises, can gain a competitive edge, one over the other, in areas that produce short‐term wealth for specific interests rather than long‐term solutions to such vital world problems as the destruction of the ozone layer, air and water pollution, and the depletion of vital natural resources. Academics who are true internationalists will see to it that solutions for these and for other “real” problems of mankind are given first priority.  相似文献   

What's worth talking about? Meaning‐making in toddler‐initiated co‐narratives in preschool     

Elin Eriksen Ødegaard 《Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development》2006,26(1):79-92

To elaborate narratives, toddlers are dependent on adult co‐construction. Both children and teachers make meaning and learn together. This article examines what themes toddlers introduce in mealtime conversations in preschool. The object of analysis is 39 toddler‐initiated co‐narratives constructed by toddlers and teachers in 15 videotaped meals during a case study in Norway in 2003/2004. (In Norway children from one to six years old attend preschool.) The results unfold variations of co‐narratives about important life themes. Emotions not only influenced what was said and how it was said, they also constituted issues in children's lives. The stories were about anger, fear, loss and desire. The utterances and voices in the co‐narrations bear a polyphony of cultural meaning.  相似文献   

“Interpersonal” Clients,Students, and Supervisees: Translating Robert Kegan     

Karen Eriksen 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2008,47(4):233-248

The counseling profession prides itself on its developmental focus. However, counselors, counselor educators, and supervisors have generally applied only phasic, and not stage, theories to counseling and supervision practice and have not incorporated developmental concepts into their teaching. This article continues the effort of rectifying this situation by explicating the relevance of R. Kegan's (1982, 1994) subject‐object theory for counseling, supervision, and counselor education. The author reviews Kegan's (1982, 1994) interpersonal and institutional stages and applies the theory to promoting development beyond the interpersonal stage in 3 case illustrations: a counseling case, a counselor educator's experience, and a supervision challenge.  相似文献   

Researcher development through doctoral training in research integrity     

Laura Louise Sarauw  Jakob Williams Ørberg 《International Journal for Academic Development》2019,24(2):178-191

ABSTRACT

The article explores research integrity training for PhD-students as a site of production of academic cultures and researcher development. Based on ethnographies of four courses in research integrity, conducted in four faculties of a large comprehensive Danish university, the article explores the vital role of academic developers, teachers, and course participants in the active translation of institutional, national, and international policies into research practices. We argue that doctoral training in research integrity does not entail the direct implementation of policy and codes from above; rather, it is a site for the development and negotiation of the meaning of research integrity in disciplinary cultures and standards, and, critically, for the responsibilisation of individual researchers in policy enactment. We show how doctoral training has become a key site for the emergence of research integrity as a field. It is also a privileged site for researching contested and multidirectional processes of policy formation and implementation.  相似文献

Contributions of the Home Literacy Environment and Underlying Language Skills to Preschool Invented Writing     

Hilde Hofslundsengen  Jan-Eric Gustafsson  Bente Eriksen Hagtvet 《Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research》2019,63(5):653-669

This study aimed to enhance our knowledge of the constituent variables affecting invented writing skills in 5-year-olds by investigating the concurrent relationships among home literacy, underlying language skills, and invented writing. The study comprised 111 Norwegian-speaking children (mean age: 5.7 years; 58 girls) and their parents. The children’s language skills were tested individually. The results showed that, on average, children achieved low scores on tests of word writing; however, the within-group variations in the children’s invented writing performances were large. The statistical modeling showed that parental education was significantly related to the home literacy environment, which was, in turn, directly related to both vocabulary and phonological awareness and indirectly related to invented writing skills. Implications of the findings are discussed.  相似文献   

Close encounters of the digital kind: A research agenda for the digitalization of public services     

Ida Lindgren  Christian Østergaard Madsen  Sara Hofmann  Ulf Melin 《Government Information Quarterly》2019,36(3):427-436

This paper contributes to e-government research by presenting a review and discussion on how digitalization of public services has affected the interaction between citizens and government. We argue for a conceptualization and critical reflection on the nature of the underlying interaction between citizens and public officials - the public encounter - that digital public services are developed to support. We apply a qualitative and hermeneutic approach and illustrate that digital public services change public encounters concerning when, where, and how interactions occur, what each actor does, and the skills required of them. By relating these changes to emerging digital technologies (e.g. data mining, machine learning, sensor technology, and service automation), we illustrate that while these new technologies carry the potential to further digitalize service provision and fulfill the democratic goals of digital government, authorities can apply the same technology to restrict, control, and surveil citizens. Based on a critical discussion on what digitalization might entail for society, we identify problem areas arising from this development and propose a research agenda for understanding this phenomenon further. We raise questions and ethical concerns regarding accountability and reskilling of citizens and public officials as public service provision becomes citizen self-service.  相似文献
