Hong Kong universities have their own characteristics in the mode of general education curriculum.

South Korean Adapted Physical Education Majors’ Self-Efficacy

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to describe and analyze the self-efficacy of South Korean adapted physical education (APE) majors in teaching persons with disabilities. The research design was a qualitative descriptive case study. The participants were five APE majors (four men and one woman, age ranged from 20 to 25) attending a university in South Korea. The data sources were interviews, program curriculum reviews, and a researcher’s journal entries; and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged, which were: (a) determinants of self-efficacy, (b) relationships with APE faculty, (c) increased awareness, and (d) I am not confident. Findings exposed APE majors as more likely to gain confidence after volunteering to work with persons with disabilities and developing relationships with them. The results showed the importance of integrating hands-on practicum teaching experiences in APE courses for the majors to develop their positive self-efficacy in teaching persons with disabilities.

CSPAP Implementation During Student Teaching: Lessons Learned From the Field

In the United States, less than half of adolescents meet national recommendations for daily physical activity (PA). Schools are an integral intervention point for achievement of national PA youth guidelines. To help schools achieve PA guidelines, multicomponent Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs (CSPAP) were developed. Each CSPAP component works synergistically to help students achieve 60 min of PA per school day. Physical educators are expected to implement CSPAP components in their schools, but little is known about the preservice physical education teacher (PPET) perception of CSPAP training experiences in teacher education. The purpose of this research study was to understand PPET perceptions of implementing a component of CSPAP at the elementary and secondary level during a student teaching course. Undergraduate (n = 5) and graduate (n = 4) physical education majors enrolled in a semester of student teaching were recruited. Data collection encompassed individual semistructured interviews at three distinct phases (N = 25): (a) pre–student teaching, (b) between student teaching school placements, and (c) post–student teaching. Data coding first revealed codes, then categories, and eventually four themes emerged, each with its own subthemes: (a) preparedness, (b) perceived challenges, (c) implementation, and (d) moving forward. Findings indicate PPETs developed confidence, achieved personal growth and self-actualization, perceived career benefit, and gained a desire for implementing CSPAP in the future. Additionally, implementing CSPAP components during student teaching can increase confidence and desire to implement CSPAP in the future. Further research needs to explore if CSPAP experiences during preservice training influence in-service teachers’ CSPAP involvement.

Creating and Performing Educational Gymnastics Using Computational Thinking Skills

Purpose: This study examined how physical education majors used computational thinking (CT) skills in a movement concept course. Method: Twenty-two physical education majors were tasked to create two gymnastics routines (i.e., algorithm design), analyze their routines (i.e., decomposition and abstraction), create and follow a personalized fitness plan (i.e., abstract), revise the routines (i.e., debugging), and perform the routines at the end of the semester. Data were analyzed as a single case study with embedded units using structural coding. Results: The participants demonstrated strengths with debugging and algorithm design; however, they struggled with decomposition and abstraction, which was congruent with previous research regarding these two concepts as the most difficult and important CT skills to master. Discussion/Conclusions: The findings underscore the value of CT skills in a non-STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) course, expending the instructional appropriateness to expose CT to undergraduate students with little to no interest or previous experience in STEM.

Risk prediction modeling in the context of machine learning for injury prevention in sports

Abstract Machine learning plays an increasingly important role in the field of disease risk prediction due to its optimization advantages. This paper proposes deep confidence network optimization based on the early warning model constructed by the neural network and chooses the restricted Boltzmann machine and backpropagation algorithm as the theoretical basis of deep confidence network construction. The deep confidence network is established through the construction and stacking of RBM, and backpropagation is used to fine-tune the network parameters to generate the model. Combined with the incidence rate data of sports injuries of physical education majors and the injury classification of the deep confidence network algorithm, the test data application results verify that the algorithm has a good effect of early warning in case of sports injuries. The survey data showed that the incidence of sports injuries was 228%, and the main risk indicators causing sports injuries were not drinking alcohol (95.31%) and incorrect sports knowledge (92.09%). The model correctly predicted 94.15% (95% CI: 0.9204, 0.9608) with sensitivity and specificity: 0.954 and 0.923, respectively.

Research on the Cultivation of Core Literacy of Physical Education Professionals in Colleges and Universities Based on the Background of Data Mining

Abstract In the context of the data-driven era, it is essential to explore practical ways to cultivate the core literacy of sports professionals in colleges and universities. This study aims to analyze the core literacy of physical education majors in depth by using data mining technology to seek a more scientific and systematic cultivation strategy. The study used the decision tree CART algorithm and the improved Apriori algorithm to analyze the physical fitness data of the students in the School of Physical Education of S University. The CART algorithm clustered the biological fitness data of male and female students, and it was found that male students’ primary physical fitness deficiencies were concentrated in the upper body strength and standing long jump events. In contrast, female students showed deficiencies in endurance and lower body explosive strength. The improved Apriori algorithm reveals the association rules between different physical fitness items, for example, there is a strong association between boys’ 50-meter running performance and pull-up performance. There are apparent differences in the influencing factors of physical fitness between male and female students, which need to be targeted to design training programs. It was found through association rule mining that specific physical testing programs significantly affect students’ physical fitness quality. This study provides a new path for cultivating core quality of physical education professionals based on data mining, which offers scientific basis and practical guidance for physical education in colleges and universities.

The influence of sound waves and musical experiences on movement coordination with beats

Synchronizing movement with external stimuli is important in musicians and athletes. This study investigated the effects of sound characteristics, including sound with harmonics (square wave) and without harmonics (sine wave) and levels of expertise in sports and music on rhythmic ability. Thirty-two university students participated in the study. The participants were divided into sixteen music education (ME) and sixteen physical education (PE) majors. They were asked to perform finger tapping tasks with 1,2 and 3 Hz beat rates, tapping in time with the sine and square wave beat produced by a metronome. The relative phase angle of finger tapping and the onset time of metronome sound were calculated using circular statistics. The results showed that type of wave and music experience affected the rhythmic ability of participants. Our study highlights the importance of types of waves on rhythmic ability, especially for participants with no background in music. The square wave is recommended for athletes to learn to synchronize their movement with beats.

"Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare the level of physical fitness of physical education majors from two universities based in Romania and Ukraine respectively. Materials and methods: A total of 201 university students participated in this study. 161 subjects were Romanian students enrolled at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Babeş-Bolyai University (107 males and 54 females), and 40 subjects were Ukrainian students enrolled at the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport (23 males and 17 females). Anthropometric measurements were performed on all participants. In order to evaluate physical fitness indicators, seven physical tests were applied. Results: The main finding of the study was the fact that the physical fitness level of male students was statistically higher (p<0.05) than the physical fitness level of female students in both Ukrainian and Romanian subjects. There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between representatives of the same gender groups of Romanian and Ukrainian students. In the case of Modified Sit-and-reach test and Plate tapping test, female subjects of both groups performed better than male subjects. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed between indicators of physical fitness of Ukrainian and Romanian students in the same gender groups for the Three Minute Step Test, Modified Sit-and-reach test, Plate tapping test and Standing long jump test. Moreover, excluding the Plate taping test, the results obtained by the Romanian students were statistically significantly higher than those obtained by their Ukrainian counterparts. Simultaneously, there was no statistically significant difference between female groups (p>0.05), except the results in the Plate tapping test, where Ukrainian students had statistically significantly higher results (р<0.05) than their Romanian counterparts. Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, the Romanian subjects had statistically significantly higher results than the Ukrainian subjects. For future research, it would be interesting to analyze the differences between the Romanian and Ukrainian curriculum specific to physical education majors. Keywords: university students, physical development, physical fitness, comparative analysis."

The purpose of this study was to present basic data to prevent dropout by investigating and analyzing the characteristics of interpersonal problems related to maladjustment or dropout of college freshmen. To achieve this goal, 405 freshmen from K University in Daegu(117 males·288 females, 138 natural science majors·144 humanities and social science majors·123 artistic and physical education majors) were tested for interpersonal problems. The results were analyzed. The measurement tool is the Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problem(KIIP), a self-report test with 99 questions. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and correlation analysis were conducted using the SPSS program. As a result of this study, it was found that the area of social inhibition was the highest in interpersonal problems, and the average of interpersonal problems was the highest among students in the humanities, social sciences and arts and physical education. All of the highest areas on the personality disorder scale were lack of sociability. In the personality disorder scale, interpersonal hypersensitivity and interpersonal non-acceptance were the subscale that had the highest correlation with the overall score. After analyzing the correlation between the entire interpersonal problem scale and the personality disorder scale, it was found that egocentrism had the highest correlation. In conclusion, since college freshmen have difficulties such as social inhibition, non-assertiveness, hyper-conformity, and deficiency of sociability, it seems that various programs are needed to help them.

키워드 네트워크 분석을 활용한 전공특성별 진로준비행동 연구 동향 분석: 간호학과와 체육계열 비교를 중심으로

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine whether college major characteristics make a difference
 in research on career preparation behavior of college students through network analysis.
 Methods Among the papers published on the academic research information service (www.riss.kr), papers related
 to career preparation behavior of college students were extracted, classified by major, and among them, papers
 related to nursing and physical education were selected for analysis. And keyword frequency analysis and
 centrality analysis were conducted and visualized.
 Results As a result of the network analysis, the influential keywords in the nursing department were ‘self-leadership’,
 ‘major satisfaction’, ‘nursing professionalism’, and ‘career decision self-efficacy’. Compared to other majors,
 the influence of ‘career decision self-efficacy’ was very low, and ‘career barriers’ never appeared. Keywords related
 to majors, such as male nursing college students, appeared frequently. In the field of physical education, influential
 keywords were ‘career decision self-efficacy’, ‘major satisfaction’, ‘grit’, ‘career decision level’, ‘social
 support’, and ‘positive psychological capital’. Physical education majors experienced more difficulties in career
 preparation than other majors due to limited employment opportunities and insufficient career preparation
 education. Therefore, keywords such as ‘grit’, ‘social support’, and ‘positive psychological capital’ often appeared
 to help overcome these difficulties.
 Conclusions Since the career preparation behavior of college students showed a discriminatory aspect according
 to the characteristics of their major, the characteristics of their major should be considered in career preparation
 education and career counseling.
