Effect of a Physical Education Training Program on the Physical Education Teaching Efficacy of Classroom Teacher Candidates

This study investigated the effectiveness of a 1-week physical education training program (PETP) on the physical education teaching efficacy (PE teaching efficacy) of classroom teacher candidates (CTCs). A quasi-experimental design with pretest–posttest experimental and control groups was used. The study included two groups: (a) an experimental group of CTCs (n = 24) enrolled in a PETP and (b) a control group of CTCs (n=30) not enrolled in a PETP. Subjects were tested via a PE teaching efficacy scale (Humphries, Hebert, Daigle, & Martin, 2012). A Wilcoxon signed-rank test determined differences between each group from pretest to posttest. The data analysis showed no significant differences between pretest and posttest in the control group; however, it found significant differences in favor of posttest in the experimental group. Finally, the PETP affected the PE teaching efficacy of CTCs.Subscribe to TPE

Соціально-біологічні аспекти фізичної культури

The article deals with the main socio-biological aspects of physical culture and sport as the principles of interaction of social and biological laws in the process of mastering human values of physical culture. An integral part of the methodology of training physical education is a system of knowledge of exercises with consideration of medical and biological aspects. Without knowledge of the method of exercises physical training exercises can not be clearly and correctly performed, and therefore the effect of these exercises will decrease and will not give the desired effect. And in this direction classes should have a clear methodological focus on increasing the level of physical preparedness and functional state of the applicants. Developing a method of physical activity should follow a clear theoretical and methodological provision of educational programs and be developed by professional specialists in the field of physical culture, since the lack of a precise method of exercising can lead to more serious consequences, even to injuries. The article examined the socio-biological aspects of the physical culture of higher education graduates, as well as considered the solutions to some of the problems students encounter most often. To improve the efficiency of physical education of student youth, the following provisions need to be implemented: rational methods and organization of classes; adequacy of the content of physical training for future professional activity; optimization of physical training by using non-traditional means and modern methods, especially when working with women's contingents; regular medical and biological control: determining the level of functional status of applicants; curve design due to changes in the frequency of cardiac contractions; definition of general motor activity, etc. Formation of the consciousness of the needy and stable habit of the carers about their health and the level of physical preparedness. Consequently, the acute issues related to this problem will be considered in the further direction of the medical and biological foundations of physical culture and sports of higher education graduates.

What strategies and tactics can be used to engage and train physical education teachers in the use of an eastern philosophy to human movement for learning and for the promotion of physical literacy with their student?

This paper was designed to determine the strategies and tactics to engage and train the physical education teachers in the use of an Eastern philosophy to human movement for learning and for the promotion of physical literacy with their students. Five kinds of diffusion-related theories were used to make the strategies and tactics. To do so, four strategies composed of eleven tactics were suggested: the first strategy was exposure, introduction and spread including mass media, pamphlets, specialized web-site, and multiculruralism; the second strategy was to make specialized agency and specialists including role as go-betweens and educational institution; the third strategy was motivation for PE teachers including regular seminar, participant in development of model, and incentives; the last strategy was mandated change including meaning-making opportunities and school-oriented approach. The most important task is to introduce new knowledge, so among the four strategies, the first and second strategies should be first, after then to persuade teachers, the third strategy might be followed. If teacher tend not to want to use the concept of the Eastern philosophy on human movement continuously, despite the attempts by creators to persuade them, the last strategy can be applied.

Reductions in anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns prospectively mitigate trauma symptom development

Identifying a malleable pre-trauma risk marker for posttraumatic stress is crucial to preventing symptom development among at-risk individuals. One such candidate is anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns (ASCC), which represents the fear of psychological incapacitation due to anxious arousal. While the extant literature suggests that applying ASCC interventions prior to trauma exposure should mitigate development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), this has not been formally tested. We examined whether individuals randomized to receive a Cognitive Anxiety Sensitivity Treatment (CAST; n = 44) prior to a trauma film paradigm would report lower film-specific PTSS after one week compared to individuals randomized to a physical health education training control condition (n = 47). Results revealed that post-intervention ASCC and week-one PTSS were both lower among the CAST condition, and reductions in ASCC mediated the relationship between intervention condition and follow-up PTSS. The current study demonstrated that reducing ASCC prior to an analog trauma can mitigate the development of PTSS. This is critical for establishing ASCC as a causal risk factor for PTSS and encourages the use of ASCC interventions in samples at-risk for trauma exposure.

Effects of an adapted physical education training package on special education teacher instruction

This study investigated the impact of an adapted physical education training package on functional motor skill instruction of three special education teachers who instructed secondary students with low‐incidence disabilities. The training package emphasized teachers' use of systematic prompting and specific reinforcement teaching strategies plus adapted physical education consultation. We used a multiple baseline design and collected data on the three teachers' use of systematic prompting and specific reinforcement plans during videotaped teaching trials. We also collected data on how teachers documented their instructional strategies, and we analyzed personal reflections that teachers wrote in the journals. Results indicated that with each of the three teachers, correctly implemented functional motor skill instructional performance improved after they completed the training package.

How trainee physical education teachers in England write, use and evaluate lesson plans

Traditionally, all physical education initial teacher training (PEITT) courses in England, and in many other countries, require trainee teachers to complete detailed lesson plans for each lesson they teach in their school-based practicum and then to evaluate those lessons. However, there has been a limited amount of research on lesson planning in PEITT generally or in England specifically. The purpose of this study therefore was to gain an initial insight into how trainee physical education teachers write, use and evaluate lesson plans. Two-hundred-and-eighty-nine physical education trainees in England completed a questionnaire about lesson planning after finishing a block school-based practicum. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the limited-choice questions on the questionnaires and open-ended questions were analysed using thematic analysis. Results showed mixed responses, with no one method followed by all trainees. Some trainees stated they planned and/or evaluated lessons as taught. Some stated they completed the plan and/or evaluation proforma to ‘tick a box’. The highest percentage of trainees stated it took between half an hour and one-and-a-half hours to plan each lesson. Although most trainees stated they found the plan useful in the lesson, others stated they found it too detailed to use. Some stated they did not deviate from the plan in the lesson, whereas others adapted the plan. The majority of trainees stated that evaluation enabled them to see if objectives had been achieved. Results are discussed in relation to teaching trainees how to plan lessons in PEITT in England.

State of health and undesirable outcomes of people practicing paralympic sports: A prospective cohort study

In a general context, a health condition of people dealing with chronic diseases or injuries are better represented by a biopsychosocial model. As a result, they face the impact of these health conditions in their daily lives, experiencing impaired functions and structures of the body, limited activity, and restricted participation. It is believed that adapted sport contributes positively for the presented context. However, participation in sports not only promotes favorable outcomes to health-related states, but also increases the exposure to risk factors that may predict undesirable situations. From this, we aimed to identify the health-related state parameters from people facing disabilities who practice Paralympic sports, exploring disabilities in biopsychosocial domains that could be predictors of undesirable outcomes in sports. We carried out a prospective longitudinal observational design by qualitative and quantitative approach, through interviews and questionnaires, respectively, applied for the coaches and athletes of Paralympic sports linked to a Special Physical Education Training Center, from June to September 2017. Sixty-nine athletes performing 12 sports pointed out causal relations between the self-care and the reported undesirable outcomes, producing theoretical, graphical and numerical results. Our analysis showed that there are causal relationships between one of the explored domains of the health-related states and reported undesirable outcomes, evidencing that good scores reported in self-care by people with disabilities practicing sports may predict undesirable outcomes.

Thinking Regulation Characteristics of Basketball Free-throw Based on Event-Related Potential Analysis

To design the basketball free-throw situation, observe the eye movements and Event-Related Potential (ERP) indexes and analyze the thinking regulation characteristics of basketball players at free throw. A total of 30 male colleges students of basketball major in physical education (training group) and 30 non basketball major male college students in physical education (sports education group) were selected randomly. The gazing duration, saccade distance, pupil change amplitude and the percentage index of ERP I¸ and I² frequency band power during the free-throw process. In the absence of special free-throw gaze training, athletes have differences in their action details; the simplistic, programmed and standardized gazing training can effectively reduce individual differences and improve the free-throw percentage. The subjects tend to have multiple sensory association at free throw and the attention of the expert athletes tends to focus on the vision and right limbs. The mental energy consumption of the expert athletes in the mind regulation process is more economical and the task load is lower.

El trabajo coeducativo y la igualdad de género desde la formación inicial en educación física

El objetivo del estudio es comprobar en qué medida un enfoque participativo en la formación inicial del profesorado (FIP) de Educación Física (EF) contribuye a que el alumnado valore positivamente el uso de estrategias vinculadas con la educación y el trabajo de género. Esto se contrasta con las valoraciones que realiza el personal experto acerca de su empleo en la situación educativa actual. La investigación se realizó en la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Burgos. Participaron 51 alumnos/as de Grado de Educación Primaria y siete docentes universitarios, de diversas universidades, expertos en el tratamiento de la EF. Se ha utilizado una metodología cualitativa, siendo los grupos de discusión con alumnado y las entrevistas a docentes los instrumentos de recolección de datos. Los resultados muestran cómo tras vivenciar los contenidos prácticos de la asignatura, los/as futuros/as maestros/as consideran haber descubierto el área como una herramienta idónea para el trabajo coeducativo y de género. Las personas expertas manifiestan que se necesita una reorientación en la EF escolar hacia las relaciones interpersonales y la cooperación. Se concluye acerca de la relevancia que tiene seguir conexionado la práctica escolar con la FIP respecto a la coeducación y el trabajo de género.

Determination of the level of psychological fatigue of future specialists in the production and processing of livestock products

In today's socio-economic conditions, the professional training of students in higher educational establishments, which most concretely embodies the principle of the organic connection of physical education with the practice of work activity, is of great importance. The purpose of physical education in educational institutions is to facilitate the preparation of harmoniously, highly skilled specialists. In the process of training from the course of physical education, the tasks are to be solved: education of students of high moral, volitional and physical qualities, readiness for highly productive work; preservation and strengthening of health, promotion of proper formation and comprehensive development of the organism, maintenance of high efficiency during the whole period of training; comprehensive physical training of students; their profile physical training taking into account the peculiarities of future labor activity; acquisition of students the necessary knowledge on the basics of theory, methodology and organization of physical education and sports training; education of students convinced of the need to regularly engage in physical education and sports. From the practice of production, it is known that highly productive labor in most cases is ensured not only by the presence of an interest in the worker in his profession, but also his body's adaptation to the implementation of motor operations associated with its production activity. As indicated by scientific studies, the interest of students is usually lost to any type of motor activity, if it causes him a rapid physical and psychological fatigue. The realities of the country's economy point to the need to create and expand the labor market, which now has a high demand for skilled workers in the manufacturing spheres of many sectors of the national economy. Proceeding from this, a significant part of our youth is aware of this fact and seeks to get such professions, which have the greatest demand for production, linking their future with the hope of high-paying work, and with it, with their stable and worthy future personal life. At the same time, human activity, physical culture and sports are important factors for improvement, health promotion, which ultimately enhances the creative activity of man and his ability to work.
