Research training takes many forms and is generally a part of graduate education. A common and important aspect of research training is the introductory research methods class offered by many departments. The purpose of this study was to examine the content, process, and instructors of introductory research methods classes in departments of kinesiology and physical education in the United States. A survey was designed and extensively pilot tested. The sample was selected from all departments offering graduate degrees in the United States. Among the many results, the data indicate that one book was required reading in more than half the classes and class size averaged about 19 students. A number of objectives were statedfor most classes, with understanding research, applying research to professional situations, critiquing the research literature, and planning research indicated most often. Quantitative design and analysis topics were emphasized more strongly than qualitative design and analysis topics. Professors indicated that more than half the class time was spent lecturing and most grades were based on exams, preparation of a research proposal, and regular assignments. The professors were relatively experienced, had a variety ofspecialty areas, and were reasonably productive researchers. The trends suggest that alternative research methodologies have not been quickly added to the research methods curriculum. 相似文献

An on-going challenge in teacher education programs is how best to support new teachers in connecting their university coursework with their professional identity development and pedagogical practice in the schools. The reading and writing of case studies is one promising strategy teacher educators have explored as a means of assisting teachers in developing and cultivating a self-reflective, theory and practice reflexive, style of learning in the teacher education classroom and beyond. In the present paper, I present a case study of my own journey as a developmental and educational psychologist responsible for co-teaching a secondary teacher education course called "Adolescent Development for Teachers", in which having student-teachers research and write-up a case study of a single adolescent became the focus of the course and our pedagogy. I describe events that brought about the use of the case study in the course, the influence the use of the case study had on myself as an instructor as well as the students, and what students say are the educational benefits and difficulties of completing the adolescent case study. Implications for infusing a developmental focus into teacher education programs are discussed. 相似文献

Space has been of growing significance in social theory in recent years, yet, explorations of it in the scholarship of higher education have been limited. This is surprising, given the critical role space has in shaping staff and students' engagement with the university. Taking a practice-based approach and focusing on academic identities, this article analyses the spatial experience of an institution by defamiliarising spaces encountered in everyday work. We identify formative pressures upon institutional space, and how space then shapes experience: university spaces are designed for one purpose but come to be used for many, so that working within them can be a diverse and contradictory experience. The identification of academics with spaces is complex, and there are no simple experiences of belonging; rather, there is a constant project of identity-formation and change within mutable spaces. 相似文献

The ability of 8-month-old infants to localize an event from a new direction of facing was tested in a square and a circular room with and without a landmark. Subjects were trained to anticipate the site from 2 directions of facing and then tested in a new direction of facing. The number of trials to a criterion of learning, the number of subjects looking first at the event site after reorientation, and the time spent in doing so were recorded. Taken together, the results show that at 8 months ability to identify the site of an event after reorientation is based on the spatial relationship between the event and environmental features. The latter include features associated with room shape as well as a landmark at the site of the event. 相似文献

In August 1929, James W. Upton, Editor of the republican newspaper, Honesty, discovered that that Seán Lemass and Gerald Boland, the Secretaries of the Fianna Fáil party, had issued a circular to their members that blackballed Honesty and promoted the sales of The Nation, a publication that Fianna Fáil's leader, Éamon de Valera, had recently brought under his control. The event that triggered this action was Upton's decision to publish an article critical of the Fianna Fáil leadership, something Upton did in the interest of freedom of speech. Upton, who was sympathetic to the Fianna Fáil cause, dubbed Lemass and Boland, ‘the Dublin Junta’ and accused them of launching an underhand attack to further their own careers and party ambitions. Fianna Fáil retaliated in the pages of The Nation, declaring that Honesty was no longer a republican journal and thereby destroying Honesty's readership. An exploration of these events reveals political duplicity and a fundamental misfit between the views of a republican idealist and hardheaded professional politicians. Upton believed that republicanism without journalistic freedom was no republicanism at all, whilst Lemass and Boland focused on building a disciplined party machine intent on suppressing dissent, within and without of its ranks. 相似文献

Teachers of children aged four and five years in England (the Foundation Stage), since 2000, have been bound by the Curriculum Guidance produced by central UK Government. We were interested to learn of the responses of these teachers to this newly introduced document. We found that teachers welcomed the Foundation Stage Curriculum Guidance, not least because it recognised that there exists a valuable and separate stage in children's education. Further, the teachers were relieved that there was, within the document, the acknowledgement of the importance and value of play as integral to the educational needs of young children. The teachers indicated that the document was also beneficial in that it allowed them to return openly to what they felt to be sound Early Years practice which some had felt had been undermined by previous curriculum guidance. However, concerns remained in that not all stakeholders are yet aware of the needs of young children and of the resources necessary to meet these needs. En Angleterre, depuis 2000, les enseignants des enfants de quatre et cinq ans (phase dite de 'fondation') doivent se conformer à la Curriculum Guidance (Lignes directrices des programmes scolaires) produite par le gouvernement central du Royaume-Uni. Nous souhaitions connaître les réactions de ces enseignants face à ce nouveau document. Nous avons constaté que les enseignants accueillent favorablement la Foundation Stage Curriculum Guidance tant elle reconnaît l'existence d'une phase utile et distincte d'assimilation chez les enfants. En outre, les enseignants ont été soulagés de constater que la document reconnaît l'importance et l'utilité du jeu comme faisant partie intégrante des besoins éducatifs des jeunes écoliers. Ils ont également fait savoir qu'ils trouvent ce document utile dans la mesure où il leur permet de revenir ouvertement à des pratiques qu'ils considèrent comme étant saines pendant les premières années scolaires des enfants et qui, selon certains, avaient été amoindries par les lignes directrices des programmes scolaires précédents. Ils s'avèrent néanmoins toujours préoccupés du fait que toutes les parties prenantes ne sont pas encore conscientes des besoins des jeunes enfants et des ressources nécessaires pour les satisfaire. Desde el año 2000, en Inglaterra, los profesores de niños de la edad de 4 y 5 años (la Etapa de Fundación) han tenido que conformar con las reglas de curriculum introducidas por el gobierno central del Reino Unido. Tuvimos interes de enterarnos de las respuestas de aquellos profesores a ese documento nuevo. Encontramos que los profesores estan de acuerdo con la 'Guía de Curriculum de la Etapa de Fundación', por lo menos porque reconoció que existe una etapa válida y aparte en la educación de niños. Además estuvieron contentos que el documento reconició la importancia y validez de juegos infántiles imprescindible en el desarrollo del niño. Los profesores indicáron que el documento fue beneficioso también porque les permitió volver abiertamente a lo que sentieron que fueron 'prácticas sanas' de los años primeros que algunos de ellos pensaron que habían estado desacreditadas por las 'Guías de Curriculum' previas. No obstante quedan preocupaciónes que algunos interesados todavía no estan enterados de lo que los niños necesitan y los recursos que hacen falta. 相似文献

The management and training needs of reception teachers working with the Foundation Stage Curriculum
In England, since 2000, teachers of children aged three to five (the Foundation Stage) have been bound by the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage produced by central government. Initially, we were interested to learn of the responses of early years teachers to that document. We found that teachers welcomed the Curriculum Guidance, not least because it recognized that there exists a valuable and separate stage in children’s education. However, in relation to ensuring that quality learning experiences were provided, teachers identified two issues of concern to them—professional training of early childhood teachers, and the leadership and management of the Foundation Stage. Concerns also remained that not all stakeholders were yet aware of the needs of young children and of the staff training resources necessary to meet these needs. Upon our return to the respondents three years later, we found that, despite the incorporation of the Curriculum Guidance, some practitioners continued to feel that both colleagues and managers sometimes had limited understanding of the unique nature of the early childhood curriculum. Concerns about resources and an appropriate learning environment also continued to be evident. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to examine Hispanic and other minority ninth-grade students' health-related fitness (HRF) knowledge, using FitSmart, a standardized test for high school students. The test consisted of 50 weighted multiple choice items, measuring six subcontent components. Means and standard deviations of the overall scores and the subcontent scores were computed. The findings suggested that students demonstrated mastery of one subcontent component but failed to meet passing values for all other subcontents and overall HRF knowledge. Female students outscored their male counterparts, but there was no difference for ethnicity. More efforts are needed to ensure that Hispanic and other minority high school students master fundamental HRF knowledge. 相似文献

Physical Education Teacher Attitudes toward Fitness Tests Scale: Cross-Revalidation and Modification
Xiaofen D. Keating Jianmin Guan Robert H. Ferguson Li Chen Dwan M. Bridges 《Measurement in physical education and exercise science》2013,17(2):72-87
This study aimed to provide further evidence of validity and reliability for the Physical Education Teacher Attitudes toward Fitness Tests Scale (PETAFTS), which consisted of affective and cognitive domains. There were two subdomains in the affective domain (i.e., enjoyment of implementing fitness tests and enjoyment of using test results) and one domain in the cognitive domain (i.e., beliefs in the usefulness of test results). Full-time physical education teachers (N?=?469) from two southwestern states in the United States participated in the study. Reliability and validity of the scale were examined. Alphas were computed for the entire 16-item scale, the affective and cognitive domains, and the two subdomains, respectively, to test the reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to investigate the construct validity. The commonly used CFA indices, such as the chi square (χ2), the comparative fit index (CFI), the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), the goodness of fit index (GFI), and the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), were used to assess the fit of the data to the model. The CFA results suggested that the data from the study did not fit the original model proposed by Keating and Silverman (2004b), resulting in the elimination of item 3. The fitness of the data to the model was improved and deemed acceptable. More studies on the reliability and validity of the scale are needed in the future in order to use the scale with more confidence. 相似文献

Difficult conversations among family members can impact the health and structure of familial relationships. The reported study investigated potential antecedents and outcomes of difficult family conversations. Perceived consequences of, reasons behind, responses to, and results of difficult conversations were considered, and the family communication patterns (FCP) framework guided the examination. Although the majority of respondents feared negative consequences prior to conversations, most reported positive results. The type of response received from conversational partners was associated with the eventual result. Counter to predictions, data analysis found no relationships among the family communication styles proposed by FCP and the antecedents and outcomes of difficult family conversations. These results suggest that the need for engaging in difficult conversations may outweigh family communicative norms and potential family consequences. Practical implications of the findings, including how therapists or counselors might communicate the benefits of discussing difficult topics generally and of avoiding negative reactions during such conversations, are considered. 相似文献
