Two groups of 17 Ss, one highly competitive and the other average, were selected from 46 women physical education majors. Both groups were given 4 tests which yielded scores for 16 psychological variables, and the Humiston Motor Ability Test. No differences were found between the groups on personality or motivation. However, the good competitors were significantly higher in motor ability than the average competitors

This study concerned the effects of treatment and sex of subject on the qualitative analysis of skill of undergraduate physical education majors. 29 majors in undergraduate physical education were randomly assigned to two groups, who viewed a pretest tape and a posttest tape together but were separated for instructional treatment. The instructional tapes covered throwing, catching, and striking skills and differed only in the information presented. One instructional tape showed examples of good and bad skill while the other showed only examples of good skill. Using the Group Embedded Figures Test as a covariate, a three-way (sex by treatment by tests) analysis of variance yielded a significant main effect for tests and an interaction of tests by treatment. Posttest means for both groups were superior to pretest means, and good examples gave higher means than good and bad examples. No effect was found for sex of subjects or the other interactions.

Physical Education Majors

Learning styles of dance and physical education majors were described and compared. Subjects were 167 declared majors in 1982 from 9 universities (87 PE, 80 dance; 44 males, 115 females). Kolb's Learning Style Inventory which measures abstractness or concreteness and activity or reflectivity was given. By t test (.05) no significant differences in preferred learning style were found between majors or genders.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between motor ability for balance and the performance of selected gymnastic elements on the floor in students aged 7-8 years, to provide an overview of the current motor status of the respondents at this age, and to develop suggestions for possible changes in the curriculum at this age, and to develop suggestions for supplementing training methodology. Training of selected gymnastics elements was conducted on a sample of 42 subjects who had no previous experience in performing gymnastics elements during regular physical education classes, and the predictor variable was tested using four tests assessing motor balance ability. The tests assessing motor balance ability showed a statistically significant predictive value for the performance of all three gymnastics exercises. It is noticeable that the value of the prediction model increased the more complex an item was derived, indicating the complexity of the motor balance space and the high and stable level of the same in the subjects at the time of testing. Regarding the tests used, it can be noted that the test FLAM was significantly involved in the prediction of performance success in all three gymnastic elements, while the other two tests showed their predictive value in the execution of the hand stand. On the other hand, the study shows that the gymnastic elements used should be used in physical education classes to contribute to the promotion and development of all motor skills of students and as part of the preparation for the execution of more complex elements on the floor and apparatus in higher grades.

Selection Of

This study examined the personality characteristics of physical education and recreation majors, and ascertained why some students choose one over the other. Forty-nine physical education and recreation majors were administered Holland's Self-directed Search. A 2 × 3 fixed-factorial design was employed, sex and major plus a control group were independent variables. Both 24 recreation and 25 physical education majors were alike in the personality profiles and were very similar to recreation and physical education professionals already in the field. Significant differences were found on secondary, less dominant characteristics which may contribute to selection of a specialization area.
