Effect of Coach-Player Interaction on Athletic Performance and Sense of Challenge in High school Golf Players

Model of structural equations on the perception of aspects of school life and substance consumption as predictors of problem behavior in adolescents.

Problematic behavior and drug use are behaviors of social concern, especially in adolescence. There are school factors that can contribute to their development or prevent them. The objective was to establish explanatory models of the relationship between various school variables with the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and cannabis; determining its direct and/or indirect relationship with problematic behaviors. The study was cross-sectional with a sample of 346 students (Main Age=14.81; 54% women) from secondary education. Structural Equation Model (SEM) were carried to analyze the relationship between the dimensions of the Scale of perception of aspects of school life and alcohol, tobacco and cannabis consume with the presence of Problematic Behavior. Problem behavior was predicted by alcohol, tobacco and cannabis consume, and binge drinking. Different aspects of school life differentially predicted problem behavior and drug use. Sense of challenge was observed as having a reciprocal predictive relationship with problem behavior. Perception of oneself at school predicts both alcohol and tobacco use; while the value given to school predicts binge drinking. These findings suggests that, when addressing problem behavior and drug use that affect minors in school and have repercussions on class dynamics and academic outcomes, we should not focus exclusively on these problem areas, but rather take a more integrated approach that includes modifying different school-related aspects that act as risk factors for these types of problems.

다의어 break 번역 시 한국어의 영향

Objectives This study investigates the Korean language (L1) influence on the understanding of multiple senses of English (L2) word ‘break’ from a language transfer perspective. Methods To achieve this, a survey questionnaire was constructed using 12 sentences with the different senses of break selected in descending order of frequency from the iWeb corpus. Depending on their English proficiency, 90 university students were recruited into tri-level proficiency (i.e., elementary, intermediate, advanced) groups, each containing 30 people. The participants were asked to translate 12 different senses of break, provide multiple responses for the senses they had prior knowledge of, and give a single response for the most challenging sense while explaining their choice. Results This study yielded four main findings. First, as the corpus frequency of each sense increases, the trans-lation accuracy of participants tended to rise, indicating a higher comprehension of core senses with higher fre-quency senses and lower comprehension of peripheral senses with lower frequency senses. Second, senses with Korean equivalents exhibited higher translation accuracy than those without them, highlighting the positive trans-fer of senses with Korean equivalents. Third, the elementary proficiency group showed a larger effect size of Korean similarity compared to other groups, indicating that semantic properties of Korean have a more impact on it. The elementary group also exhibited a larger effect size of corpus frequency compared to other groups, sug-gesting a tendency for the mental lexicon to be more fixed on the core senses. The sense similarity between ‘상처가 나게 하다’ and ‘break skin’ tended to fail to be recognized, while ‘break the code’ has no equivalent sense in Korean, yet the translated phrase ‘암호를 깨다’ from ‘crack the code’ was exposed, thus triggering a distinctive pat-tern of positive transfer. Both examples indicate that learners' psychological perceptions play a more important role in language transfer than objective linguistic properties. Conclusions While this study demonstrates the persistent influence of the first language on semantic transfer, it suggests that the impact of L1 may diminish as English proficiency improves and L2 learners may develop a mental lexicon that diverges from the influence of their L1. Future research is expected to explore the different conceptual structures of polysemous words across languages, and to investigate the effect of psychological per-ception on language transfer by using the research methodology that compares the findings on languages that use same scripts and languages that use cross-scrips.

Analysis of the Problem-Based Learning Model’s Application for the Sustainable Development of Sports Education

The purpose of this study was to analyze importance and performance levels by applying the problem-based learning (PBL) education model for the sustainable development of sports education. In this study, 331 university sports majors who received PBL education at least once were administered a questionnaire from 15 July to 20 September 2022. Frequency analysis (using SPSS 25.0), exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and IPA were used for data processing. The results are as follows: The first quadrant of the IPA matrix comprised attributes such as determining the cause of the problem, acquiring sufficient knowledge through learning, gathering information related to the problem, getting to the heart of the matter, and building intimacy among team members. The second quadrant included planning for oneself when learning, considering the importance of self-learning, and actively answering questions. The third quadrant included enthusiasm and sincerity toward team learning. The fourth quadrant included 11 attributes: proper planning and execution, understanding others’ points of view, the joy of team learning, prioritizing problem-solving methods, creative communication, communication with team members, proactive communication, everyone on the team working hard, feeling a sense of accomplishment, a sense of challenge, and an increase in self-confidence.

Threat and challenge: Holocaust survivors, succeeding generations, and the coronavirus pandemic

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the “sense of threat” and “sense of challenge” among Holocaust survivors and second‐ and third‐generation cohorts during the first coronavirus lockdown in Israel.BackgroundAging, especially among people who experienced trauma during their early years, as did Holocaust survivors, can be challenging when unusual circumstances, such as the coronavirus pandemic, coincide with it. Studies are inconclusive regarding the effect of transgenerational transmission of trauma of survivors to their offspring.Methods129 participants filled out a questionnaire based on Lazarus and Folkman's cognitive theory of psychological stress and coping. Data were collected through online questionnaires or phone interviews.ResultsAll generations reported “feeling this is a difficult situation.” Compared with the second generation, survivors reported a significantly higher “sense of threat” and significantly lower “sense of challenge.”DiscussionThis study found that all generations felt some degree of vulnerability, although their response overall was resilient.ImplicationsAwareness of the harmful effects of stressful life events on the vulnerable Holocaust survivors and their descendants has prompted the need to establish support systems that can be activated to assist them. Future research should also investigate whether these reactions were prevalent among Holocaust survivors and their descendants in other countries.

Therapists’ Experiences of Aggressive Behaviors among Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Qualitative Analysis

This study examines central themes in therapists’ interpretations and reactions to aggressive behaviors by youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 therapists working with youth with ASD and used interpretative phenomenological analysis. The analysis indicated three main themes: (1) Internal vs. external causes, (2) Mental and physical toll vs. the sense of challenge, and (3) Proactive and reactive coping with aggressive behaviors. The findings contribute to understanding therapists’ perceptions and reactions toward aggressive behaviors among youth with ASD. Clinical implications include the need for training and support for therapists working with youth with ASD.

Gambling and crime: An exploration of gambling availability and culture in an English prison.

There is evidence that prisoners have the highest rate of problem gambling in any population, but little is known about the nature of in-prison gambling, the motives for it or how it relates to prior gambling behaviour. To investigate the prevalence and type of gambling prior to prison and the prevalence, type, and reasons for gambling in prison. Two hundred and eighty-two male volunteers in a Category B male prison in England completed a questionnaire which included the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). One hundred and twenty-six (45%) reported gambling in prison, with eighty-one (30%) of participants reporting that gambling was a normal part of prison life. Pre-prison behaviour, whether type of index offence or prior gambling, had little relationship to in-prison gambling. Frequency of gambling in prison increased with increasing PGSI risk category. The most common types of gambling in prison were card/dice games, sports and ball games, while the most common motives were entertainment, excitement or sense of challenge and to win prizes, with significant differences in motive between PGSI risk categories. Prison canteen items formed the most common currency gambled. People within the higher PGSI risk category were more likely to have borrowed items from other prisoners. Our research has added to existing literature by identifying high rates of gambling in prison and showing that prisoners' perceptions of gambling are as a normal part of prison life. Findings suggest that screening and support should be available to manage gambling in prison, including support to reduce gambling-related debt, particularly given associations between debt and violence in prison. Relief from boredom and need for excitement were among the most common reasons for gambling in prison, indicating that there is a need to provide a more appropriately stimulating prison environment.

Participatory school ground design: play behaviour and student and teacher views of a school ground post-construction

ABSTRACT Participatory school ground design projects have acknowledged benefits for children’s sense of empowerment, ownership and learning, but the play behaviour outcomes of these school ground projects are less understood. The aim was to investigate the use of a renovated school ground in Colorado, USA that had engaged students in the redesign process. Behaviour mapping investigated the spatial distribution of children’s (n = 342) play behaviours, through observations of active, constructive, imaginative, reflective and conversational school ground play. Walk-along and semi-structured interviews with 52 students aged 5–13 years and 9 school staff explored views of the school ground design post-construction. The results indicate that there were aspects of the school ground design that warranted further improvement to facilitate social interaction, girls’ preferred play choices, and older children’s sense of challenge in the school ground. The research presents design recommendations and reflects upon the benefits of continued community engagement in school redesign.

The influence of yarning circles: A cultural safety professional development program for midwives

BackgroundA university educated, First Peoples health workforce is paramount to improving health outcomes for Australia’s First Peoples. However, a significant gap exists between the academic success of First Peoples and non-Indigenous students. The facilitation of culturally safe learning and teaching environments by academics is essential to closing this gap. There is little research on midwifery academics’ understanding of Cultural Safety and the translation of this understanding in learning and teaching. ObjectivesTo explore the influence of yarning circles within a professional development program to enhance midwifery academics’ awareness of Cultural Safety. MethodsA six-month staff development program which consisted of two workshops and a series of yarning circles was offered to all midwifery academics. Eight participants agreed to be interviewed after completion of the program. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, read and re-read, and analysed using a six staged thematic analysis process. ResultsSix key themes centred on participants’ Sense of Belonging, Sense of Safety, Sense Knowing, Sense of Support, Sense of Difference, and Sense of Challenge were identified. These concepts were supportive of participants’ developing awareness of Cultural Safety. ConclusionYarning circles can encourage midwifery academics’ awareness of Cultural Safety. Awareness is the first step towards becoming culturally safe. Yarning provided a safe and supportive space for challenging discussions and reflective learning about racism, white privilege, and difference. Midwifery academics described steps they could take to promote Cultural Safety in the classroom.

Factors Necessary for Engaging Preservice Teachers Studying in Virtual and Blended Courses

In their encounter with a virtual or blended learning environment, students are liable to perceive the situation as a challenge or as a threat. The physical separation between teacher and students may lead to “transactional distance,” which in turn can cause a sense of threat and create anger, gaps in understanding, or misconceptions among the learners about themselves and about the learning process. Students may grasp the situation as a “challenge” or a “threat.” The aim of the article is to determine the factors necessary for engaging preservice teachers studying in virtual and blended courses, which are critical to feelings of challenge and threat among these students. The sample included 578 participants in a mixed-method study. The present study found that differential interpersonal communication, feedback, and forums may lead to a decrease in feelings of threat and an increase in the sense of challenge. Some learners need only intellectual interaction; others need both intellectual and emotional interaction.

Sense of Challenge, Threat, Self-Efficacy, and Motivation of Students Learning in Virtual and Blended Courses

ABSTRACTFeelings of threat, challenge, motivation, self-efficacy, and transactional distance reflect students’ struggles with the learning process. This study examined the relationship between students’ subjective feelings about the learning process in virtual and blended courses (VC and BC). This is a mixed-method study. The sample included 484 students from two academic institutions in Israel. The study found a connection between students’ subjective feelings about the learning process in VC and BC and feelings of threat/challenge, motivation, and self-efficacy. We found differences between students in different years of study and between those studying in various fields of study.

Neon bright: Cool Places, youth cultures and hopeful political-theoretical futures

ABSTRACTThis article provides a reflection on Skelton and Valentine's (1998. Cool Places: Geographies of Youth Cultures. London: Routledge.) book ‘Cool Places’. The article focuses upon the excitement, vitality and sense of challenge that the book afforded when the two authors first encountered it. From these personal memories, the article then offers two sets of wider considerations. In the first, and prompted by the authors’ use of the book in their teaching, it articulates how useful, relevant and engaging even contemporary students find the book, and how it offers a key point of reference within and beyond the teaching of ‘children's geographies'. In the second, the authors seek to re-engage the book's lively, hopeful, yet critically-political orientations, offering a series of challenges for future scholarship in the geographies of childhood and youth. Like the rest of the article, these orient around a sense of what ‘matters’ in and to geographical scholarship on childhood and youth.

Job Satisfaction among Teachers of Private and Government Schools: A Comparative Analysis

Job satisfaction is when, someone satisfied with his job. Job satisfaction is one of the most important workplace attitudes of employees and organization. Job satisfaction has two factors intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors are determined by conditions that are beyond the employee. Intrinsic factors are related to psychological reward such as opportunity to use one's ability, a sense of challenge and achievement, receiving appreciation, positive recognition etc. Intrinsic factors include personality, education intelligence, and abilities, age and marital status. The present study was undertaken to examine the 30 Government and 20 private primary school teachers in relation to job satisfaction and experience.
