Teaching Core Literacy in College Physical Education and Health Courses Based on Multiple Data Integration

Abstract The study used cluster analysis and decision tree modeling to construct a multivariate data fusion physical fitness evaluation model, and also built a physical fitness core literacy evaluation model through factor analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. These two evaluation models were subsequently applied to physical education and health teaching in colleges and universities to measure the quality of physical education teaching in colleges and universities and students’ physical health status. By analyzing the practice of physical education teaching in colleges and universities, it was found that the pull-up program had the worst performance in students’ physical fitness test, with a score of 287. In addition, the lung capacity and 50-meter dash programs contributed the most to students’ total performance, with scores of 1,291 and 1,245, respectively. From the perspective of physical education and health teaching quality, the scores of teaching situation, teaching management and biological education school effectiveness were 4.68, 4.01 and 4.52, respectively, and all of these evaluation grades were good. This study provided an accurate and scientific analysis of the overall quality of physical education and health teaching in universities and the health status of students.

Pedagogical Integration of Core Literacy in College Physical Education and Health Courses Based on Data Mining Techniques

Abstract At universities and colleges today, physical education is overly regimented and ignores students’ basic health literacy. This study aims to investigate this phenomenon by examining the state of physical education instruction in colleges and universities nowadays using data mining techniques. In order to retrieve information on the essential literacies of health and physical education courses at colleges and universities, the study first builds a data mining framework using data clustering analysis, association rule extraction, and decision tree algorithms. The teaching-coordination-level model of the core literacies of physical education and health courses is established utilizing the entropy power approach, and the development history of physical education is examined. To determine the best teaching technique for integrating the core literacies of physical education and health courses, an experiment was conducted using College A as an example. The findings indicate that following the trial, students in the experimental class had substantial improvements in their physical and health literacy scores, with the exception of physical fitness (P>0.05). In the previous 10 years, the mean value of the coupling coordination was between 0.6683. The integration of the essential literacies of physical education and health courses accounted for more than 90% of the total credit hours earned in the best colleges and universities. In addition to enhancing physical education abilities, the integration of health and physical education curricula with core literacy in colleges and universities supports the general development of students’ health literacy.

Embodiment of Core Literacy in Physical Education and Health Courses in Colleges and Universities in the Information Age

Abstract Based on the relevance topic model and density clustering, this paper constructs a college sports health theme model. The framework of physical education discipline literacy was created by combining the standard of discipline core literacy with the framework. The core of the physical education and health curriculum was judged by calculating the maximum likelihood function of the core literacy in the curriculum and the multiple embodiment variables in the curriculum. Combining the variational EM algorithm to calculate the edge likelihood function of the data, the hidden variables in the core literacy of physical education and health courses were identified and solved. This paper focuses on the analysis of students’ athletic ability, healthy behavior and physical morality in physical education course teaching and explores the core literacy of physical education from two aspects: teaching objectives and teaching evaluation. The results showed that the classification accuracy of the topic model for exercise ability, health behavior and sports morality in college physical education and health courses was 0.927, 0.831 and 0.857, respectively. According to the statistics of students’ weekly physical exercise, 467 students met the evaluation criteria of the physical education population, accounting for 49.5% of the total number of students, indicating that most of the students in colleges and universities had good physical exercise habits. The teaching efficiency of physical education and health courses in colleges and universities was improved to some extent by this study.

Demonstrating Einstein’s Time Dilation Using Simple Muon Detectors

Einstein’s theory of special relativity is one of the topics taught in undergraduate university physics courses. As undergraduates rarely have the opportunity to collect data and verify the concepts of Special Relativity, namely time dilation and length contraction, this paper aims to serve as a detailed instructional manual (self-contained) as well as provide insights from the undergraduates’ point of view on how to use a muon detector to collect data at various locations and altitudes in order to experimentally verify the aforementioned concepts. This experimental element enhances and complements the understanding of Special Relativity. The desktop muon detector used — the CosmicWatch Desktop Muon Detector V2 — was developed by the Department of Physics at Massachusetts Institution of Technology.

The application of big data technology in the integration of non-foreign heritage into the construction of college sports curriculum thinking and politics

Abstract This paper firstly takes the non-heritage Taijiquan course SiM to the physical education course SiM as the theoretical starting point to enrich and expand the theoretical connotation of the physical education course SiM. Secondly, a sorting algorithm is used to sort the recall set by the interaction data of students and the physical education curriculum Civics elements to determine the final display order of the recall elements. A ranking model incorporating students’ long-term and short-term behaviors is proposed to model the sequence of students’ long-term and short-term behaviors separately. Finally, the long-term behavioral features of students are extracted using the self-attention mechanism, and the short-term behaviors of students and the extracted long-term behavioral features are modeled in sequences by GRU units, respectively, to explore the interesting Civics elements of students fully. The results show that the initial eigenvalues of the public factors 1-5 of the integration of non-heritage Taijiquan culture into the thought politics construction of college physical education courses are all greater than 1, which meets the factor extraction criteria. At the same time, the cumulative variance values of the five public factors of the Civic and Political elements can explain 88.378% of the whole index, which meets the criteria of exploratory factor analysis. In this paper, the integration of non-heritage Taijiquan into the construction of Civic college's physical education curriculum provides the enlightenment of the times for the re-conceptualization of traditional Chinese culture and realizes the collaborative team innovation with cross-border integration.

Introduction to concept inventories for medical physics education.

Concept inventories are multiple choice exams designed with the intention to test core concepts on specific subjects and evaluate common misconceptions. These tests serve as a useful tool in the classroom to assess value added by the instructor's educational methods and to better understand how students learn. They can provide educators with a method to evaluate their current teaching strategies and to make modifications that enhance student learning and ultimately elevate the quality of medical physics education. The use of concept inventories in introductory college physics courses revealed important gaps in conceptual understanding of physics by undergraduate students and motivated a shift of physics teaching towards more effective methods, such as active learning techniques. The goal of this review is to introduce medical physicists to concept inventories as educational evaluation tools and discuss potential applications to medical physics education by development through multi-institutional collaboration.

Enhancing students’ understanding of vectors through personalized adaptive learning

In introductory college physics courses, it is important that students have a thorough understanding of vectors since several topics depend on vectors. When the test of understanding of vectors (TUV) was administered to the students completing the algebra-based College Physics I course, it was found that students had considerable difficulties in certain vector concepts. To overcome these difficulties, the question-bank for personalized adaptive learning (PAL) was modified. These modifications were implemented in a later semester for the students of the same course. In the current work, we present students’ performance on 12 questions on TUV for two semesters with a focus on improvement in students’ performance on graphic representation and determination of direction and magnitude of a vector presented in unit vector notation, understanding of graphical methods for vector addition, subtraction and multiplication of a vector by a negative scalar. This study presents the development of questions in PAL assignments which may be beneficial for the teaching community.

Research on the Quality of Collaboration in Project-Based Learning Based on Group Awareness

Project-based learning (PBL) is an important form of collaborative learning that has a significant positive impact on student capacity development. However, data generated during long periods of PBL are difficult to record in real time, and there is a dearth of specific empirical research on the relationship between the quality of collaboration and the effectiveness of collaboration. In this study, we employ text mining to measure and analyze process data from a college physics course that utilizes project-based learning at a university. Under the group awareness theory, we construct a project-based learning system and extract six multi-dimensional awareness data (including numbers of text, cognitive awareness, emotional awareness, behavioral awareness, social awareness of group members, and group leaders’ cognitive awareness of the project). These data are then utilized to build a multiple regression model, which enables the analysis of collaboration quality within collaborative groups. The results show that the group awareness information automatically processed by text mining can reflect the quality of collaboration, and the quality of collaboration can determine about 50% of the effectiveness of collaboration. The important factors affecting the collaboration quality of project-based learning were group leaders’ cognitive awareness of the project and the cognitive awareness of group members. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of collaboration in PBL, teachers should select responsible group leaders and encourage meaningful communication between group members, thereby fostering high-quality and sustainable collaboration development.

Effective writing is important for communicating science ideas, and for writing-to-learn in science. This paper investigates lab reports from a large-enrollment college physics course that integrates scientific reasoning and science writing. While analytic rubrics have been shown to define expectations more clearly for students, and to improve reliability of assessment, there has been little investigation of how well analytic rubrics serve students and instructors in large-enrollment science classes. Unsurprisingly, we found that grades administered by teaching assistants (TAs) do not correlate with reliable post-hoc assessments from trained raters. More important, we identified lost learning opportunities for students, and misinformation for instructors about students’ progress. We believe our methodology to achieve post-hoc reliability is straightforward enough to be used in classrooms. A key element is the development of finer-grained rubrics for grading that are aligned with the rubrics provided to students to define expectations, but which reduce subjectivity of judgements and grading time. We conclude that the use of dual rubrics, one to elicit independent reasoning from students and one to clarify grading criteria, could improve reliability and accountability of lab report assessment, which could in turn elevate the role of lab reports in the instruction of scientific inquiry.

The Shortcomings and Improvement Strategies of Public Physical Education Courses in Chinese Universities

With the development of China’s higher education, China’s university education has developed rapidly and the number of students enrolled has been increasing. At present, the number of college students in China has exceeded 24 million, showing a prosperous scene. However, with the rapid development of college education, the participation rate of college students in sports is generally low, and the college physical education courses set up to promote college students’ sports have not played their due role. This study analyzes the shortcomings of current college physical education and proposes that college physical education in China should change the current situation of outdated teaching concepts, unreasonable teaching evaluation system, insufficient teaching content, and cultivate college students’ interest in sports and lifelong sports.

Strategies for teaching waves in the next generation science standards

Waves and their applications are one of the disciplinary core ideas in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), but the performance expectations include concepts that have not historically been an important part of teaching waves in high school science classrooms, with a particular focus on technologies that utilize waves and on students making connections between different types of waves including sound, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves. In this talk, I will share resources and strategies that I use to teach some of these concepts, including both hands-on activities and digital resources. Many of these resources are also appropriate to other physics courses, including AP Physics and introductory college physics courses.

Physics Figures

Physics teachers use many tools to convey difficult concepts and to assess students’ mastery. Good illustrations, figures, and diagrams can help students make sense of these concepts. Textbook publishers provide figures, but, often, these are not editable or are too complicated for printing. Fortunately, physics teachers have access to excellent tools for creating simple and effective figures. We offer tips on how to create figures in PowerPoint or your favorite presentation software. These packages are ubiquitous, and they have powerful tools to create and edit images. We also provide an online source for physics figures we’ve used in our college physics courses. These figures are free to use, distribute, and alter for use in your classes.

R2-D2’s broken beamformer: A galactically consequential homework exercise

Identify the Imperial spy, assist the Rebellion, and save a galaxy far, far away! In “Acoustical Measurement Methods,” a Brigham Young University physics course typically taken by seniors and new graduate students, the semester’s culminating topic is beamforming. Students write their own delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformers for a uniform line array and test them experimentally by finding the direction of a loudspeaker. The topic of their technical memorandum, however, is a homework-style exercise in which they use their validated DAS codes to help R2-D2 locate the Imperial spy in the Mos Eisley cantina. With the spy’s inquiry about the Rebel base masked by a cacophony of sounds coming from different directions, and with its real-time processor on the fritz, the dependable droid needs help processing its phased-array signals to separate the sources and locate the spy. Though this exercise doesn’t follow the Star Wars® canon in the least and certain dimensional constraints are temporarily cast aside in the DAS problem creation, students do not seem to care. They engage deeply in the problem and generally produce their best-written technical memorandum of the semester in pursuit of intergalactic (though still academic) valor and fame. “Help me, [acoustics student], you're my only hope!”
