At the end graduate course, the graduate takes with him a bag of feelings, experiences, beliefs and values ​​that reflect in his professional intervention. The perception of this in relation to its formation becomes thus an important instrument of evaluation of the offered formation in Higher Education. The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of the initial formation of graduates of the bachelor and licensed degree in Physical Education from a public university in the state of Santa Catarina, considering the positive and negative aspects of the graduate degree and the suggestions for improvement of the course. The study included 94 graduates, 47 of the Bachelor's degree and 47 of the Licensed's degree. In the data collection, we used an on-line questionnaire, analyzed through the technique of content analysis. The main positive and negative points of the initial formation were: teachers; opportunities and experiences; Supervised Curricular Stages; laboratories and scientific initiation; curriculum; infrastructure, location and time; activities and extension scholarships; friends and class; personal questions. The graduates provided important suggestions for improving the initial formation process, especially with regard to the curriculum, the course infrastructure, the class schedule and the teachers' pedagogical intervention.

The purpose of this research was to compile and evaluate the course offerings of sport psychology graduate programs with regard to the requirements for becoming a Certified Consultant, Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AAASP). Course offerings of 79 programs were identified via the on-line version of the College Catalogue Collections of the Career Guidance Foundation. Course descriptions in physical education/exereise science and psychology departments were examined to determine whether they fell within the AAASP certification criteria areas. Most of the schools evaluated did not offer courses in all 12 areas required for AAASP certification. Several programs offered courses in as few as six of the required areas. The results of this study suggest that the majority of graduate programs in applied sport psychology do not offer the necessary courses for students interested in pursuing AAASP certification.

AbstractCurrent educational presentation software used in STEM education fail to maximize student engagement and comprehension. Mixed reality presentation is one specific type of digital presentation software that has shown to significantly improve student engagement and comprehension. In this paper, we describe a pilot study on adult scientists which evaluates the usage of an integrated mixed reality presentation software in the Zyndo platform as an enhanced alternative to Adobe PDFs. A group of adult scientists (N = 20), with higher education of at least a bachelor’s degree, from an academic research center at Harvard Medical School were randomized and asked to read two articles (one on Immunology and the other on Bioengineering) presented through either the mixed reality presentation or PDFs. Our results indicate that participants improved in nearly all metrics for engagement (ranging from + 4 to 51% improvement depending on engagement metric and subject matter) when viewing the mixed reality presentation over the traditional PDFs for both articles. Specifically, the participants demonstrated improved comprehension of the scientific content and time spent viewing the presentation in a content-dependent manner. Therefore, 3D mixed reality environments can potentially be applied to enhance student learning in STEM fields, particularly Biomedical Engineering in both on-line and in person classroom settings.

Biomechanical knowledge is essential for professional practice of physical education teachers, but it is still little applied by them. This study examined the effectiveness of a continuing education program based on meaningful learning theory to improve understanding of biomechanical principles and their application by physical education teachers. A pedagogical intervention study was developed using a mixed methods approach. Statistical analysis was performed to compare pretest and post-test scores, and content analysis to categorize the teachers' evaluation of classes. The program created significant increases in mastery of biomechanical concepts in teachers studied who had strong perceptions of the course, peer interaction, and application to professional practice. Difficulties perceived were related to lack of time to study and prior biomechanical knowledge.

Las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación son una realidad que hay que afrontar, también desde la formación del profesorado de primaria y secundaria, pues representan un recurso cada día más imprescindible en nuestra vida y unas herramientas adecuadas para la preparación presente y futura del alumnado. Desde el Centro del Profesorado Cuevas-Olula (Almería) se ha realizado una actividad de teleformación dirigida al profesorado de Educación Física, trabajando distintos contenidos curriculares de actividades en el medio natural, y buscando poner de manifiesto que todas las áreas del conocimiento pueden y deben adaptarse a las nuevas tecnologías. Esta actividad de formación demuestra el gran interés e implicación de maestros y profesores de Educación Física en la propia actualización y utilización de los recursos TIC. La evaluación del curso, realizada por los propios participantes, evidencia la validez y el éxito del modelo de formación utilizado, con una parte teórico-práctica desarrollada on-line y con actividades prácticas presenciales al final, así como la valoración de las virtudes de la formación a distancia en comparación con la presencial y tradicional.Abstract: The new technologies of information and communication are a reality that must be confronted, from teacher training to primary and secondary schools, since they represent a resource increasingly indispensable in our lives and about proper tools for the preparation of the present and future students. From the Center Teacher Cuevas-Olula (Almeria) has been engaged in an activity distance to the faculty of Physical Education, working different curricula activities in the natural environment, and seeking to demonstrate that all areas of knowledge can and should adapt to new technologies. This training demonstrates the keen interest and involvement of teachers and professors of Physical Education at the updating and resource use ICT. The course evaluation, conducted by the participants themselves, will evidence the validity and success of the training model used, with a party line developed theoretical and practical sessions at the end, as well as the valuation of the virtues of distance learning compared with the personal and traditional one.

Physical Demands

The physical activities corresponding to the practical disciplines – taught throughout the 3 years of study for the bachelor’s degree university cycle within the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of Galați – consist of various elements of the general and specific motric capacity, in order to cope with the respective physical demands. The study performed by the students of the Ist year is aimed at identifying the evolution of thiscomplementary motric amplitude, as a result of the direct influence exercised by the 6 practical disciplines subject to study. The outcomes achieved – analysed and interpreted differently gender wise – identify the limited and sometimes insignificant progress of the main tests used in evaluating the flexibility of the lower body muscles, thus proving that there is not any representative building-up throughout the study performed, but only a linearity of the already existing level.

This study draws on an expectancy-value theoretical framework to examine the motivation (competence beliefs, values and task difficulty) of 24,143 students (11,909 females and 10,066 males, aged 9 to 21 years) from eight countries (Brazil n = 1848; China n = 3049; Finland n = 1654; Hong Kong n = 6179; Israel n = 2257; Korea n = 2671; Mexico n = 3613; USA n = 3072). Music was studied in comparison to five other school subjects (art, mother tongue, physical education, mathematics, science) across three school grade levels that included the key transition from elementary to secondary school. Results indicated that music as a school subject was valued less and received lower task difficulty ratings than other school subjects with the exception of art. Students reported higher competence beliefs for physical education and mother tongue compared to music and lower competence beliefs for mathematics and art. There was an overall decline in students’ competence beliefs and values across the school grade levels for all countries except Brazil. Females reported higher competence beliefs and values and lower task difficulty ratings for music, art and mother tongue than males. Males reported higher competence beliefs and lower task difficulty ratings for physical education and mathematics. There were no gender differences for values in mathematics. Music learners reported higher competence beliefs and values and lower task difficulty across school subjects than non-music learners. Secondary analyses were used to further explore differences within each of the eight countries. Findings suggest that once students have experienced learning to play an instrument or voice, they become more motivated towards other school subjects. Implications of the findings suggest that advocacy aimed at increasing the values that students attach to music as a school subject may encourage more students to become music learners across a wide range of countries.

The context for the present study is the one-year initial teacher education course for postgraduates specialising in physical education at the secondary level. The research focus is on the conflicts which pre service teachers experience during the school practice element of a University- School Partnership Scheme based on the new government criteria and procedures introduced in the DFE Circular No. 9/92 for England and Wales. Fifty-three postgraduate students completed report forms about their teaching concerns at the end of each week of a six-week and an eleven-week block practice, and, of the 1510 concerns reported, 257 (17.02%) were classed as conflicts. A content analysis of the 'conflict' concerns revealed four general categories of conflict, and these were related to school staff and peers, the school and university working procedures, the demands from the school and the university, and beliefs and values about the teaching profession. The paper argues that such conflicts are viewed with much apprehension by pre-service teachers because of the additional responsibilities and powers placed on school subject mentors and the more limited time available in the university to prepare for the practical activities. Therefore, it is suggested that University-School Partnership Schemes should build in arrangements that give pre service teachers the opportunity to resolve deep-seated problems by being able to approach neutral staff from either the university or the school.

  Las medidas extraordinarias tomadas por España para hacer frente a la crisis sanitaria de la COVID-19 obligaron a los centros educativos a trasladar su actividad docente presencial a una modalidad on-line. Los docentes de Educación Física (EF) se enfrentaron al reto de adaptar las competencias y contenidos de una asignatura principalmente práctica y con un importante componente socioafectivo a una educación remota, basada fundamentalmente en medios digitales. No obstante, esta adaptación es mucho más compleja en las zonas más desfavorecidas o rurales en donde muchos alumnos tienen un importante sesgo digital: o bien no tienen acceso a Internet, o no han adquirido las competencias oportunas para su uso. El propósito del presente estudio de caso retrospectivo es exponer los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y las estrategias didácticas que los maestros de un Colegio Rural Agrupado (CRA) de La Alcarria Conquense llevaron a cabo durante el confinamiento del curso académico 2019-2020. De esta forma, en primer lugar, se analizan las herramientas empleadas para la comunicación entre maestros y familias incluyendo tanto vías convencionales como digitales, los proyectos especiales y recursos movilizados, así como el proceso de evaluación durante el cese de actividad docente presencial. A continuación, se describe la respuesta observada por toda la comunidad educativa del colegio ante esta nueva situación. De manera general, se ha observado un sólido compromiso de los alumnos y familias en las actividades de las clases de EF. Finalmente, se plantean posibles acciones para los siguientes cursos académicos, supeditado por la situación sociosanitaria que se presente.  Abstract. The extraordinary measures taken by Spain to address the COVID-19 health crisis forced schools to move their face-to-face teaching activity to an on-line mode. Physical Education (PE) teachers faced a new challenge: to adapt the contents of the subject, mainly practical and social to a virtual education, based mainly on digital resources. However, this adaptation can be much more complex in the most disadvantaged or rural areas where many students have a significant digital bias: either they do not have access to the Internet, or they do not have acquired adequate competences for its use. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective case study is to present the teaching-learning processes and pedagogical strategies that the teachers of a rural (grouped) school of La Alcarria Conquense carried out during the lockdown of the 2019-2020 academic course. In this way, first of all, the tools and media used for communication between teachers and families, the special projects and resources mobilized, as well as the evaluation process during the cessation of face-to-face teaching activities are analyzed. Next, the main response observed by the entire school community to this new situation were described. In general terms, a solid commitment of students and families to the activities and challenges proposed in the EF classes has been observed. Finally, possible actions for the next academic year are proposed depending on the social and health situation that may arise.
