Cognitive Involvement

The paucity of recent daevelopmental research concerned with complex gross motor learning, particularly in the young child, can be partly attributed to lack of conceptual constructs and accompanying analytic-evaluative instruments. Such learning requires forms of cognitive mediation apparently fostered by analytic-integrative modes of teaching and learning. A theoretically based, empirically rested scheme for assessing the hierarchical complexity of gross motor tasks and sequences is elaborated in terms of both requisite cognitive involvement (structural organization) and underlying physical abilities (structural dynamics). The scheme is presented as one possible solution to the problem of quantifying task complexity and levels of skill to facilitate research and development in developmental psychology and education.

Background/Aims Childhood acquired brain injury is the leading cause of death and long-term disability among children and young people in the UK. Following a childhood brain injury, function is shown to improve within a specialist neurorehabilitation setting. Little evidence currently exists to demonstrate gross motor functional change within an acute hospital setting. The Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale is a valid and reliable outcome measure for use within inpatient paediatric neurorehabilitation following brain injury. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate how the gross motor function of paediatric patients with a new acquired brain injury changes during an acute hospital admission. Methods Data were collected for all patients admitted as an inpatient to one acute hospital over a 12-month period. The Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale was completed at baseline, at least weekly and again at discharge. Views relating to the utility of the Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale were sought among physiotherapists using the measure in order to inform acceptability. Results A total of 28 patients were included in this study. A Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed, which showed a highly significant improvement in function as scored on the Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale between baseline assessment (median 29.00, interquartile range 25.00–35.50) and discharge (median 85.00, interquartile range 75.00–95.00, Z=-4.624, P<0.001). A total of five patients (17.86%) were referred on for specialist residential neurorehabilitation. A post hoc analysis found that the rate of change of the Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale appeared to have an impact on final discharge destination, with slow improvers 18.60 times more likely to require specialist rehabilitation than others. The Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale was found to be acceptable among physiotherapists using it. Conclusions Children with a new acquired brain injury make significant improvements in gross motor function during a period of acute inpatient neurorehabilitation. Further work should look to refine the measure and gain a full understanding of its clinical utilities.

Noting lack of synchrony in the movement of retarded and learning disabled children led to the development of four tests requiring subjects to tap their hands in concert with a metronome. In this study the scores that 175 of these children made on the rhythmic tests were factor analyzed to obtain factor scoring coefficients; the latter were then used alone and with age in the regression analyses to predict performance on two fine and eight gross motor tasks. The proportions of total variance accounted for by the independent variables ranged from (a) .09 to .31 when the rhythmic factor-scoring coefficients were used alone and (b) .15 to .36 when age was included with the rhythmic factor-scoring coefficients.

This study explored advanced musicians’ dispositions to flow in musical practice. A total of 168 classically trained musicians answered a questionnaire assessing their proneness for flow experience during musical practice and associations between flow and demographic factors, practice routines and musical instruments. Dispositions to flow in musical practice did not vary across musical instrument groups, age or gender. Positive associations were found between daily practice time and flow, suggesting that flow may contribute to engagement with daily practice. Negative associations between music practice experience and loss of self-consciousness and challenge–skill balance were found, suggesting that even among experts the level of task complexity during practice may affect perceptions of competence. While six individual flow indicators were frequently experienced, three indicators were much less experienced, pointing to the existence of another similar relevant experience in the practice of expert performers, named as optimal practice experience. The article finishes with implications regarding the benefits of flow for teaching and learning practices.

Teaching Learning

Teaching activities carried out by professional teachers are not only oriented towards the dimensions of the creative faculties, but are of the dimension and intention. Because in the perspective of educational psychology, teaching in principle means the process of teacher actions that make students learn. This behavior includes open behaviors such as reading skills (the realm of intention), closed nature such as thinking (the realm of copyright) and feeling (the realm of feeling) each teacher is responsible for determining the formulation of specific and general learning targets as goals of teaching and learning activities which must be achieved after the teaching-learning process activities are finished. The importance of learning, there are three forms of development that occur in every human being, namely motor development, that is development related to changes in physical abilities (motor skills), cognitive development, that is development related to intellectual abilities, social and moral development, namely the development process related to the process changes in the way each individual communicates or relates to others, both as individuals and as groups.

The object of education is human being. Undersanding student developmental psychology is essential in teaching and learning process. The research entitled “The Implementation of Teaching and Learning for Islamic Education Subject (Fiqh) Based on Cognitive Developmental Psychology Levels In MTsN Malang 1” is intentionally aimed to explore how the teaching and learning on Islamic studies (Fiqh) could be implemented by considering the students developmental psychology.  This is descriptive qualitative research utilizing two perspectives as theoretical bases, Islamic perspective refers to Prophet Muhammad theory, and western perspective refers to Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky theories. The research begins by finding the problems, then breaking theories down to be reasearch instrument and comparing it as applied in model school, MTsN Malang 1. The result, based on both Islamic and western perspective theories, shows supports. Teaching and learning process are considered to implement interactive and cooperative models. Interactive model is implemented by utilizing learning technology such as LCD-projector and computer to show audio-visual contents, quiz creator and edmodo. And cooperative model is implemented not only by learning technology, but also language development applied in mapping and presentation set. Analysis result shows that teaching and learning based on cognitive developmental levels gives more understanding for most students’ proved by students’ interest and excellent score. The novelty is that the research used developmental psychology which specified on cognitive to be applied in Islamic Education subject (Fiqh).

This study investigated students’ perception towards language courses using student-centered learning approach at University Utara Malaysia (UUM). Students’ perception was measured through a model termed as environmental, cognitive, affective, and metacognitive mediation (ECAM) which is a common teaching and learning technique used in classroom activities. To assess the implementation of ECAM; qualitative analysis was conducted based on observations of students’ activities in two language courses. The findings of the study indicated that the students employed the techniques of ECAM model. However, cognitive mediation learning technique was extensively used by the students. Moreover, audio-taped interviews were also conducted with four voluntary undergraduate students. The findings from the interviews’ interpretation revealed that students also explicit positive viewpoints about student-centered learning approach.

When 1-min. practice trials alternate between two unrelated motor tasks so that total practice is continuous, each task interferes with the learning of the other ( n = 28 males). Comparison with control group data ( n = 28 males) for each task (practice on the other task being replaced with intertrial rests) shows that interference from the more complex and demanding of the two tasks occurs much earlier (compared with onset of interference from the other) and progresses through a period of cumulating effect which is followed by a period of relatively constant learning deficit.

The goal of this research was to examine how traditional games can help Cambodian Probolinggo PAUD kids improve gross motor abilities while also teaching Islamic values. To address important issues, the author employs qualitative research methods such as observation, documentation, and interviews to gather data. In addition, data triangulation will be used to evaluate the information gathered (sources and techniques). One of the most important parts of an individual's total development is physical motor development. Traditional games have been shown to benefit children's gross motor nerves by requiring them to use their physical abilities in order to play. Traditional games can also be used as cultural heritage because people recognize that they are original games passed down from their forefathers and that they must be conserved so that they do not become extinct and forgotten. Traditional games help Cambodian Probolinggo PAUD children learn Islamic educational ideals. When the youngsters are at home, religious adherence and honesty are also indicators. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana permainan tradisional dapat membantu anak PAUD Kamboja Probolinggo meningkatkan kemampuan motorik kasar sekaligus mengajarkan nilai-nilai Islam. Untuk mengatasi masalah penting, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif seperti observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara untuk mengumpulkan data. Selain itu, triangulasi data akan digunakan untuk mengevaluasi informasi yang dikumpulkan (sumber dan teknik). Salah satu bagian terpenting dari perkembangan total individu adalah perkembangan motorik fisik. Permainan tradisional telah terbukti bermanfaat bagi saraf motorik kasar anak-anak dengan mengharuskan mereka menggunakan kemampuan fisik mereka untuk bermain. Permainan tradisional juga dapat dijadikan sebagai warisan budaya karena masyarakat mengakui bahwa permainan tersebut merupakan permainan asli yang diturunkan dari nenek moyang dan harus dilestarikan agar tidak punah dan terlupakan. Permainan tradisional membantu anak-anak PAUD Kamboja Probolinggo mempelajari cita-cita pendidikan Islam. Ketika anak-anak berada di rumah, sinyalnya sama-sama religius dan jujur.
