Including secular philosophies such as humanism in locally agreed syllabuses for religious education   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jacqueline Watson 《British Journal of Religious Education》2010,32(1):5-18

The 2004 National Framework for Religious Education (NFRE) innovatively recommended that secular philosophies such as humanism, or secular worldviews, be included in locally agreed syllabuses for religious education (RE) in England. However, the NFRE is a non‐statutory document, and Agreed Syllabus Conferences (ASCs) and Standing Advisory Councils for Religious Education (SACREs), the bodies responsible for RE in each local authority (LA) in England, are not obliged to respond to its recommendations. This article reports the responses of 80 LAs to the recommendation to include secular worldviews, and examines the range of mechanisms for including secular worldviews across 27 agreed syllabuses. The author discusses key issues to consider when revising agreed syllabuses to include secular worldviews and concludes that, while there is not yet a best model for inclusion of secular worldviews, many locally agreed syllabuses are valuable in pointing ways forward.  相似文献   

Using possible-selves theory to understand the identity development of new teachers     

Doug Hamman  Kevin Gosselin  Jacqueline Romano  Rommel Bunuan 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2010

Questions about identity and future success often occupy the thinking of individuals during life transitions. Possible-selves theory describes how future-oriented thought provides identity-relevant information and motivation to pursue self-relevant goals. Expected and feared possible selves of beginning teachers (n = 221) were analyzed revealing four main categories (i.e., interpersonal relationships, classroom management, instruction, and professionalism). Differences between student and beginning inservice teachers suggest a transitional trajectory that could have implications for understanding the “how” of teacher identity development. Possible-selves theory may help bring a degree of unity across divergent frameworks and help link identity to broader issues of teacher development.  相似文献   

Explicit Vocabulary Instruction in Kindergarten: Case Studies of Students With and Without Language Disorders     

Jacqueline M. Myers  Julie W. Ankrum 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2018,46(6):683-691

Research demonstrates that children can make more significant gains through explicit instruction of vocabulary than implicit instruction (Blachowicz and Fisher in Teaching vocabulary in all classrooms, Allyn & Bacon, Boston, MA, 2010; Dalton and Grisham in Read Teach 64(5):306–317, 2011). Effective explicit instruction often includes high quality conversations with teachers and peers (Towson et al. in J Early Interv 38(4):230–246, 2016; Wasik in Read Teach 63(8):621–633, 2010). Data for this study were collected from a larger study designed to explore students’ use of vocabulary words following explicit instruction with the words during an interactive read-aloud. A deeper microanalysis of student discussion, scaffolded by adults, was conducted. The transcribed student discussions, recorded during peer talk, were analyzed using NVivo 10 (QSR International in NVivo (version 10). NVivo qualitative data analysis software, QSR International, Doncaster, VIC, 2012) software. These case studies describe the vocabulary development of two children with diagnosed speech and language disorders and one child without a speech and language impairment.  相似文献   

The relationship between shoulder alignment and elbow joint angle in cricket fast-medium bowlers     

Mark Roca  Jacqueline Alderson  Daryl Foster 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(11):1127-1135

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between shoulder alignment and elbow angle during the delivery action of fast-medium bowlers. The elbow and upper trunk alignment were recorded for 13 high-performance bowlers (mean age 20 years) using a 12-camera Vicon motion analysis system operating at 250 Hz. The three highest velocity trials for “good” and “short” length deliveries were analysed. Results showed that bowlers with a more front-on shoulder alignment at back-foot impact and when the upper arm was horizontal to the ground experienced a significantly greater elbow flexion – extension range when compared with those who had a more side-on orientation at the same point in the delivery action. Bowlers with greater shoulder counter-rotation also recorded higher elbow flexion and subsequently extension during the period from upper arm horizontal to ball release. Shoulder alignment and elbow angles were similar for “short” and “good” length deliveries. It was concluded that bowlers with a more front-on shoulder orientation at back-foot impact demonstrated a higher elbow extension from upper arm horizontal to ball release and are therefore more likely to infringe International Cricket Council elbow tolerance levels, compared with those who adopt a more side-on shoulder orientation at back-foot impact.  相似文献   

A comparison of accelerometry analysis methods for physical activity in older adult women and associations with health outcomes over time

ABSTRACT

This study compared five different methods for analyzing accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) in older adults and assessed the relationship between changes in PA and changes in physical function and depressive symptoms for each method. Older adult females (N = 144, M_age = 83.3 ± 6.4yrs) wore hip accelerometers for six days and completed measures of physical function and depressive symptoms at baseline and six months. Accelerometry data were processed by five methods to estimate PA: 1041 vertical axis cut-point, 15-second vector magnitude (VM) cut-point, 1-second VM algorithm (Activity Index (AI)), machine learned walking algorithm, and individualized cut-point derived from a 400-meter walk. Generalized estimating equations compared PA minutes across methods and showed significant differences between some methods but not others; methods estimated 6-month changes in PA ranging from 4 minutes to over 20 minutes. Linear mixed models for each method tested associations between changes in PA and health. All methods, except the individualized cut-point, had a significant relationship between change in PA and improved physical function and depressive symptoms. This study is among the first to compare accelerometry processing methods and their relationship to health. It is important to recognize the differences in PA estimates and relationship to health outcomes based on data processing method.

Hematological Variations during Aerobic Training of College Women     

Jacqueline L. Puhl  William S. Runyan 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(3):533-541

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of a progressive aerobic training program on hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), red blood cell (RBC) count, mean RBC size (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) of college women (N = 19). Training consisted of jogging (3 × week) one mile per session (Week 1) with a progressive increase in duration to five miles per session (Week 9). Training intensity elicited heart rates between 165–185 beats per minute. Blood samples were taken before training and after approximately two, five, seven, and nine weeks. Maximal oxygen uptake (ml/kg · min^?1) increased significantly during training from 41.2 ± 0.7 ( ± SE) to 44.7 ± 0.7. Initial values of Hb, Hct, RBC count, MCV, and MCH were 14.7 ± 0.13 g/dl, 40.4 ± 0.46%, 4.5 ± 0.5 × 10⁶/mm³, 89.0 ± 1.1/μ³, and 32.4 ± 0.4 μμg respectively. Orthogonal polynominal regression indicated significant decreasing quadratic trends for Hb, Hct, and RBC count, a significant cubic trend for MCV, and no change in MCH during training. Despite the initial trends, values that changed did return to near pretraining levels by the end of the nine-week program. Values for all blood parameters remained within normal ranges throughout the study. These data suggest that although aerobic training of increasing intensity in young women may be accompanied initially by decreases in Hb, Hct, and RBC count and an increase in MCV, these changes are only transitory. If such changes result from RBC destruction rather than hemodilution, the return to hematopoietic balance could impose a draw on body iron stores.  相似文献   

Instructional Climates in Preschool Children Who Are At-Risk. Part II     

Leah E. Robinson  Mary E. Rudisill  Jacqueline D. Goodway 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(3):543-551

In Part II of this study, we examined the effect of two 9-week instructional climates (low-autonomy [LA] and mastery motivational climate [MMC]) on perceived physical competence (PPC) in preschoolers (N = 117). Participants were randomly assigned to an LA, MMC, or comparison group. PPC was assessed by a pretest, posttest, and retention test with the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance. A significant Treatment × Time interaction (p < .001) was present, supporting that MMC participants reported significantly higher PPC scores over time, while no positive changes were present in LA and comparison participants. The results show that an MMC leads to psychological benefits related to achievement motivation. These findings should encourage early childhood educators to consider the effect of instructional climates on children's self-perception.  相似文献   

Evaluation of the Physical Activity and Public Health Course for Practitioners     

Kelly R. Evenson  David R. Brown  Emily Pearce  Ricky Camplain  Jan Jernigan  Jacqueline Epping 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(2):207-213

Purpose: From 1996 to 2013, a 6-day Physical Activity and Public Health Course for Practitioners has been offered yearly in the United States. An evaluation was conducted to assess the impact of the course on building public health capacity for physical activity and on shaping the physical activity and public health careers of fellows since taking the courses. Method: An evaluation quantified time that fellows spent in different course offerings and surveyed fellows. Results: From 1996 to 2012, 410 fellows attended the course, and in 2013, 186 participated in the Web-based survey (56% response rate). The number of fellows attending the course ranged from 15 to 33 yearly. From 1996 to 2012, the course averaged 38 hr of instructional time that included topics on interventions and environment/policy work to increase physical activity, program evaluation, public health research, and health disparities. The course included consultations, collaborative work, and field-based experiences. Fellows who participated in the survey agreed that the course had a positive impact on the physical activity research or practice work they did (98%), met their expectations (96%), helped them with research/practice collaborations with other physical activity professionals (96%), assisted them in conducting higher-quality interventions/programs (95%), helped increase their professional networking in the field (93%), and had a positive impact on other work they did (91%). Following the course, 66% and 56% had further contact with faculty and other fellows, respectively. Conclusion: The Physical Activity and Public Health Course for Practitioners made important contributions toward building the capacity of physical activity and public health practitioners.  相似文献

Laboratory versus field testing in cricket bowling: A review of current and past practice in modelling techniques     

Bruce Elliott  Jacqueline Alderson 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2013,12(1):99-108

In cricket bowling, the reconstruction of elbow angle data is of utmost importance to the bowling versus throwing argument. This paper reviews system and modelling errors inherent in three-dimensional reconstruction processes with respect to the elbow extension tolerance set by the International Cricket Council. An understanding of these factors will enable more informed decisions about the choice of in-field versus laboratory testing in the calculation of elbow extension during bowling in cricket. Although there is a paucity of objective data related to in-field and laboratory testing, biomechanists must be guided by the greater accuracy of opto-reflective than video-based systems and so testing, at least for the present, should be conducted in a laboratory setting.  相似文献
