To Standard or Not to Standard in Physical Education? That is the Question

ABSTRACT Given that standards-based education has been commonplace since the early 1980ʹs, most practicing education professionals cannot remember a time where standards did not exist. Standards have historically served as a mechanism for accountability and academic achievement. In physical education, while not required in initial educational reforms, the development of standards was seen as a way to combat the marginalization of our subject. Despite this, we lack evidence demonstrating the impact of standards on physical education programming and student learning. Further, we rarely take the time to consider why standards are commonplace in education, and how they are developed. This paper brings to life the historical timeline of relevant educational reforms, offers a critical perspective of standards in physical education, and proposes several questions in order to challenge the status quo and encourage productive discourse around standards-based physical education.

Design of an online education student learning status evaluation model based on dual-improved neural networks

With the continuous development of network technology, online education has become an important form of education. However, in the online education model, it is difficult for educators to effectively evaluate students' learning status, and using a learning status evaluation model can effectively solve this problem. The main goal of this model is to comprehensively evaluate students' learning behavior, progress, and outcomes, in order to understand their learning status, provide effective teaching feedback to teachers, help students improve learning methods, and improve learning efficiency. The current automatic evaluation model for student learning status has certain limitations in terms of applicability and accuracy. A student learning state evaluation model based on Multi task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) is proposed to address the effectiveness of online education student learning state evaluation. Use the facial image acquisition function to extract students' facial features, process each feature through label classification, and then analyze the students' attention and learning emotions. Finally, analyze the effectiveness of the research method application. The results showed that the train_loss value of the learning state evaluation model proposed in the study can be reduced to about 0.1; the train_acc value can reach more than 95 %, and the overall volatility is small; the overall evaluation accuracy of facial expressions can reach 74.71 %, which is significantly better than cpc, VGG19 and other evaluation methods; compared with the comprehensive evaluation results and multi-modal analysis methods, only two evaluations at the critical value are different. The experimental results show that the online education students’ learning status evaluation model designed by the research has a high accuracy rate and has a certain application potential in the field of online education.

Twenty Years of Disability Research: A Systematic Review

Almost one in five Australians (18%) and nearing one in 10 of our student population (9%) are disabled, so it is unsurprising that disability is a priority area for the Universities Accord process in Australia, and similar processes around the world. We sought to explore how contributors to the Journal of University Teaching & Learning Practice have advanced the knowledge surrounding disability inclusion in universities through their publications in the journal. We identified only three articles that were primarily or explicitly about aspects of teaching and learning for higher education students with disability, alongside 48 that tangentially mentioned higher education students with disability. Other articles included the search terms (such as disab*) but made only passing reference to disability or were not about disabled students in higher education. We provide recommendations for authors, reviewers and editors to consider as they reflect on how they can contribute to the conversation, and to the improvement of educational opportunities and outcomes for disabled students.

Simulation-based mathematical learning for higher education students from heterogeneous backgrounds

ABSTRACT This paper explores the use of simulation-based training for mathematical learning in undergraduate and graduate mathematics, science, and engineering courses. Simulation-based training offers the advantages of active learning and inquiry-based learning techniques. Furthermore, it provides extensive flexibility, ranging from user-level usage of simulations to the modification or creation of new possibilities by the student, thus engaging different cognitive levels to achieve the learning objectives. This is particularly interesting in groups consisting of students from diverse backgrounds and levels, due to factors such as their international origin or varying prior education, especially in interdisciplinary Master’s degree programmes. Additionally, in online or blended environments (which have become widespread during the last years), simulation-based learning has the advantage of granting students a certain degree of autonomy, which can, to some extent, compensate for the absence of the instructor’s physical presence.
