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.

IntroductionEmergency medical services (EMS) personnel must continuously educate themselves on mass-casualty management. Emergency medical services personnel in Israel are provided with continuing education programs aimed at maintaining knowledge and skills to manage different types of mass-casualty incidents (MCIs). There are 11 Magen David Adom (MDA) regions that have different incidences and experience with MCIs.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for the management of conventional and mega MCIs.MethodsA 17-item, multiple choice question pre-test (n = 640) and post-test (n = 536) were administered after a brief continuing education intervention based on lectures and discussion in all 11 EMS regions. The MCI and mega MCI scores were combined to provide an overall MCI score. An independent t-test and ANOVA were used to examine for differences by age, seniority, role, and area of employment of EMS personnel. (p = 0.05)ResultsReliability of the pre- and post-tests was 0.70. The overall mean score and standard deviation for the pre- and post-test was 64.31% Â ± 14.2% and 75.0% Â ± 14.0%) respectively (p = 0.000). Distribution of scores on the pre- and post-tests were: 80%, 11.8% pre-test, 42.7% post-test. No significant differences were found in pre-/post-test scores by area. Older personnel (> 50 years of age), and those who had been working in EMS for longer periods were found to have significantly lower scores (p = 0.05). Overall scores of paramedics was significantly higher than driver/medics. (p = 0.05).ConclusionsBoth pre- and post-tests were reliable. Post-test scores improved significantly after the intervention. Age and seniority are factors that must be considered when developing continuing education interventions. Possibility should be given to implementing role specific continuing education interventions. Attrition of knowledge must be investigated.

The phenomenon of high attrition and dropout among novice teachers has been widely recognized as an issue that must be addressed. The current study aimed to explore this phenomenon in the field of physical education (PE). A longitudinal study using a mixed-methods approach was conducted. The participants consisted of 119 novice teachers at three points in time: during, at the end of the first year of internship, and two years after internship. Instruments included questionnaires, a semi-structured telephone survey, and in-depth face-to-face interviews. Results indicated that the majority of novice teachers intended to stay in the profession mainly due to idealistic reasons. Emotional and professional support from senior staff and/or management proved to be important to their decision to persist in the profession. Barriers that were found distinctive to PE included poor working conditions such as a lack of facilities or equipment. Additionally, participants reported discouragement from the discovery that PE was perceived as a less important subject in comparison to other school subjects. The vast majority reported that they had not been sufficiently prepared for the realities of the teaching profession.

Meaningful learning is a learning model developed by Ausubel (1960). This learning model is based on expository teaching and advance organizers play an important role in it. In this study, concept maps are used as advance organizers. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the academic success of the experimental group in which advance organizers are used differs from the control group and whether there is a relationship between academic success and gender. The study was conducted with 56 undergraduate students who are in their first year at a private university in Istanbul in the academic year of 2019-2020. In the study which is carried out by using quasi-experimental design with pre-test post-test control group, there is 1 experimental group with 28 students, and 1 control group with 28 students. The treatment was applied for 6 weeks. In the experimental group, the lessons were taught by using concept maps as advance organizers. In the control group, traditional method was used. Data were collected using the multiple choice test formed by the researcher with 40 questions as pre-test and post-test. As a result of the data analysis done by SPSS 24 package program, no significant difference was found between pre-test scores of the two groups. A significant difference was found between post-test scores of the groups in favor of the experimental group. However, no significant difference was found between academic success and gender. Keywords: Meaningful learning, advance organizers, concept map, academic success
