The effect of the Sport Education Model in physical education on student learning attitude: a systematic review

BackgroundEvidence indicates that the Sport Education Model (SEM) has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing students' athletic capabilities and fostering their enthusiasm for sports. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of comprehensive reviews examining the impact of the SEM on students' attitudes toward physical education learning.PurposeThe purpose of this review is to elucidate the influence of the SEM on students' attitudes toward physical education learning.MethodsEmploying the preferred reporting items of the Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement guidelines, a systematic search of PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus and CINAHL Plus), and Web of Science databases was conducted in mid-January 2023. A set of keywords associated with the SEM, attitudes toward physical education learning, and students were employed to identify relevant studies. Out of 477 studies, only 13 articles fulfilled all the eligibility criteria and were consequently incorporated into this systematic review. The validated checklist of Downs and Black (1998) was employed for the assessment, and the included studies achieved quality scores ranging from 11 to 13. The ROBINS-I tool was utilized to evaluate the risk of bias in the literature, whereby only one paper exhibited a moderate risk of bias, while the remainder were deemed to have a high risk.ResultsThe findings unveiled significant disparities in cognitive aspects (n = 8) and affective components (n = 12) between the SEM intervention and the Traditional Teaching (TT) comparison. Existing evidence suggests that the majority of scholars concur that the SEM yields significantly superior effects in terms of students' affective and cognitive aspects compared to the TT.ConclusionsNonetheless, several issues persist, including a lack of data regarding junior high school students and gender differences, insufficient frequency of weekly interventions, inadequate control of inter-group atmosphere disparities resulting from the same teaching setting, lack of reasonable testing, model fidelity check and consideration for regulating variables, of course, learning content, and unsuitable tools for measuring learning attitudes. In contrast, the SEM proves more effective than the TT in enhancing students' attitudes toward physical learning.Systematic review registration(https://inplasy.com/) (INPLASY2022100040).

An integrative review of parent education approaches in sport: Considerations for program planning and evaluation.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the delivery and evaluation of parent education programs within youth sport. Subsequently, some recent reviews of these programs have been conducted. However, one consistent issue across many of the programs and associated review papers is the lack of an appropriate evaluation framework to guide the planning or associated reporting of the outcomes of the interventions. This has limited understanding of the overall impact of sport parenting interventions. Thus, the purposes of the current study were as follows: (a) to identify commonalities in the reporting and evaluation of parent education programs; (b) to identify gaps in the reporting and evaluation of parent education programs; (c) to draw these insights together to provide suggestions regarding how the RE-AIM could be used to enhance planning and evaluation of evidence-based programs for parent education in sport. Specifically, utilizing the RE-AIM framework to provide insights into pertinent evaluation metrics, this integrative review aimed to identify commonalities and gaps in the reporting of parent education programs. The RE-AIM framework considers the essential elements to assess the external and internal validity of interventions through five dimensions: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (Am J Public Health. 1999;89(9):1322-1327). Subsequently, the review aimed to provide suggestions regarding strategies to enhance the planning and evaluation of evidence-based programs for parent education in sport. Overall, the analysis demonstrated that most studies presented some pertinent evaluation information related to the RE-AIM framework, such as the number of participants and contacts made, the measures used, and the program level. However, the studies also lacked information on participant exclusion criteria, the method used to select the delivery agent (e.g., parents engaged in the program), and cost measures. Overall, the current study identified various areas where programs could be enhanced, specifically related to reporting procedural elements (e.g., program design, target population, and costs) pertaining to the implementation of parent education programs.

Temperamental and Neurocognitive predictors in Korean basketball league draft selection

Introduction The Korean Basketball League(KBL) holds an annual draft to allow teams to select new players, mostly graduates from the elite college basketball teams even though some are from high school teams. In sports games, many factors might influence the success of an athlete. In addition to possessing excellent physical and technical factors, success in a sports game is also influenced by remarkable psychological factors. Several studies reported that elite sports players can control their anxiety during competition, which may lead to better performance. In particular, the temperament and characteristics of players have been regarded as crucial determinants of the player’s performance and goal. In this regard, numerous studies suggest that personality is considered to be an important predictor of long-term success in professional sportsObjectivesBased on previous reports and studies, we hypothesized that physical status, temperament and characteristics, and neurocognitive functions of basketball players could predict the result of KBL draft selection. Especially, temperament and characteristics were associated with the result of KBL selection. The basketball performances including average scores and average rebound were associated with emotional perception and mental rotation.MethodsWe recruited the number of 44 college elite basketball players(KBL selection, n=17; Non-KBL selection, n=27), and the number of 35 age-matched healthy comparison subjects who major in sports education in college. All participants were assessed with the Temperament and Character Inventory(TCI), Sports Anxiety Scales(SAS), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Trail Making Test(TMT), and Computerized Neuro-cognitive Test(CNT) for Emotional Perception and Mental Rotation.ResultsCurrent results showed that physical status, temperament and characteristics, and Neurocognitive functions of college basketball players could predict the KBL draft selection. Among temperament and characteristics, novelty seeking and reward dependence were associated with KBL draft selection. The basketball performances including average scores and average rebound were associated with emotional perception and mental rotation.ConclusionsIn order to be a good basketball player for a long time, it was confirmed that temperamental factors and Neurocognitive factors were very closely related. Furthermore, it is also judged that these results can be used as basic data to predict potential professional basketball players.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Conclusion: Mental education development programs in adolescents should be tailored to the health interests of the adolescent generation. Sports clubs have the potential to be an arena for health improvement.

La Validación de dos programas de intervención para el aprendizaje del deporte alternativo “la Rosquilla”

The validation of didactic programs according to a pedagogical model is essential to guarantee the quality of the tasks and their suitability to the methodological approach proposed. The aim of the study was to validate two intervention programmes, corresponding to two didactic units elaborated based on two different methodologies: Game-Centred Model and Hybrid Model of the Game-Centred Model and Sports Education Model, for the learning of an alternative invasion team sport called “the Rosquilla”. Two similar intervention programs were created, which had the same number of sessions, tasks, objectives, contents, and game phases. Nine expert judges participated in the validation process. Content validity was obtained through Aiken's V coefficient and its confidence intervals. Cronbach's α coefficient was used to calculate internal consistency. Eleven and twelve tasks were eliminated from the 60 tasks that made up the intervention programs, Game-Centred Model and Hybrid Model respectively, because they did not exceed the exact critical value (V ≥ .73). The internal consistency achieved by the tasks was excellent (α = .99). Therefore, both intervention programmes are considered valid and reliable for the learning of this alternative invasion sport, “the Rosquilla”. They can be used to compare the effects of both methodologies on students.

Examining the Relationship Between Physical Education and Sports Teacher Candidates' Speaking Self-Efficacy Perceptions and Speech Anxiety

The study was conducted to determine the speaking self-efficacy perception and speaking anxiety levels of prospective physical education and sports teachers and to test the predictive effect of speaking self-efficacy perception on speaking anxiety. The research was designed in quantitative research method and relational survey model. The research was conducted on 309 physical education teacher candidates studying at different universities. The data of the study were obtained by using Personal Information Form, Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale for Student Teachers and Speaking Anxiety Scale for Student Teachers. Since the data were normally distributed, descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the analysis, it was observed that pre-service teachers' speaking self-efficacy perceptions were at a high level and their speaking anxiety was at a low level. It was determined that pre-service teachers' perceptions of speaking self-efficacy and speaking anxiety differed significantly in favor of those who had an athlete background and those who regularly read books. It was determined that as the pre-service teachers' perceptions of speaking self-efficacy increased, their speaking anxiety decreased, and it was concluded that their perceptions of speaking self-efficacy negatively affected their speaking anxiety. As a result, it can be said that having done sports in the past and reading books regularly can be effective in increasing speaking self-efficacy perception and decreasing speaking anxiety in pre-service teachers. In addition, considering that speaking self-efficacy perception negatively predicts speaking anxiety, it is recommended that practices that will increase speaking self-efficacy perception should be emphasized to reduce speaking anxiety.

The Path of Transforming Excellent Retired Athletes into Physical Education Teachers

With the vigorous development of sports in our country, many excellent athletes have been trained over the years, achieving brilliant feats on the field. However, after retirement, they face new challenges—transformation and development. In the new era of the integration of sports and education, the “retired athletes re-employment problem” and “solving the problem of the shortage of primary and secondary school sports teachers” are organically linked. This linkage aims to realize the complementarity of social supply and demand, which the entire Chinese sports industry is actively exploring and addressing. The integration of retired athletes into the education system will not only help improve the quality of physical education and broaden employment channels but, more importantly, address the shortage of physical education teachers in schools. Sports teachers transitioning from athlete roles possess unique advantages. However, due to the shift in professional roles and distinct occupational requirements, they need a bridge and path for successful transformation.

Time-aware outlier detection in health physique monitoring in edge-aided sport education decision-makings

The increasing popularity of various intelligent sensor and mobile communication technologies has enabled quick health physique sensing, monitoring, collection and analyses of students, which significantly promoted the development of sport education. Through collecting the students’ physiological signals and transmitted them to edge servers, we can precisely analyze and judge whether a student is in poor health (e.g., an outlier). However, with time elapsing, the accumulated physiological signals of students become massive, which places a heavy burden on the quick storage and in-time processing of physiological data of students. In this situation, it is becoming a necessity to develop a time-aware outlier detection technique for health physique evaluation of students in a time-efficient way. Considering this challenge, we propose a novel time-aware outlier detection method named TOD based on Locality-Sensitive Hashing. TOD condenses extensive physiological student data into a concise set of health indices. Leveraging these indices, we can efficiently identify potential student outliers from a large pool of candidates with precision and speed. Finally, we have designed a group of simulated experiments based on WS-DREAM dataset. Experiment results prove the feasibility and superiority of the TOD method compared with other existing methods.

With the integration of technology and social media in education, there is increasing interest in innovative approaches to enhance managerial skills among prospective physical education and sports teachers. The integration of technology and social media into education has prompted interest in exploring innovative methods to enhance the managerial skills of prospective physical education and sports teachers. This study investigates the impact of an intervention on the managerial skills of fourth-year students majoring in Physical Culture and Sports across three educational institutions in Kazakhstan. Out of 564 participants, 355 were eligible for analysis: 167 used chatbots and 188 followed conventional classroom methods. The intervention included a 4-week team management course starting in January 2022. Chatbot users accessed various materials such as short lecture videos, stories, assignments, infographics, and audio sequences, while conventional learners attended standard lectures and practical sessions. Following the course, participants undertook a 12-week teaching practice, with chatbot users also maintaining an active Twitter presence to build a positive image as future physical education teachers. Managerial skills were assessed using a 44-item questionnaire, covering Conceptual, Human, and Technical skills. Additionally, social media popularity was measured based on Twitter activity. Results showed that both groups significantly improved their Conceptual, Human, and Technical skills after the course. Chatbot users demonstrated greater improvement in Technical skills (p = 0.003, d = 1.139), while conventional learners showed stronger Human skills (p = 0.021, d = 1.32). Specifically, the mean score for Technical skills increased from 2.71 to 3.76 for chatbot users and from 2.65 to 3.20 for conventional learners. Moreover, chatbot-aided learners further enhanced their Conceptual and Human skills through social media engagement. Correlation analysis indicated a close relationship between managerial skills and social media popularity. These findings have significant practical implications for the education and development of prospective physical education and sports teachers. Integrating chatbots and social media into educational settings offers innovative approaches to enhancing managerial skills.
