Thematic Physical Education Games Model for Grade 1 Elementary School Student

The application of thematic learning in Physical Education, Sports, and Health subject in Grade 1 Elementary School often faces difficulties due to the lack of physical activity reading sources and literatures that can be used as examples of activities. The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated thematic-based Physical Education game model for Grade 1 Elementary School on My Favorite theme. The research method used was the RD method developed by Borg and Gall. In the research stage, the initial developed product had been validated by 3 validators, consisting of design experts, content/material experts, and field practitioners. The product of this research was a thematic Physical Education games for Class 1 on My Favorite theme module consisting of 8 types of games adjusted to the theme and sub-theme. The results of the expert validation test obtained 93% (a very good category) for the design, 93% (a very good category) for the content/materials, and 88.75% (a good category) for the practitioner perception. It concludes that the thematic-based Physical Education game model is feasible and can be used in Physical Education learning. Teachers can use this thematic Physical Education game module as a reading source and examples of Physical Education learning activities.

Image–Building

The aim of this paper is to examine the narratives of two films, Les Nuits Électriques by Eugène Deslaw (1928) and site specific_LAS VEGAS 05 by Olivio Barbieri (2005), using a favorite theme of avant-garde filmmakers: urban lighting in direct combination with neon light advertising.This paper offers a nuanced perspective on how film affects the understanding of neon advertising in relation to the built environment. Also, the paper explores the social, cultural, economic and political and conceptual implications of architecture as a sign through the interpretation of those who capture it.

Passion

During the Renaissance, erotic love emerged as a favorite theme of Italian intellectuals. From the Neoplatonic treatises of Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola, to the works of Petrarch and Dante, the paintings of Botticelli and Raphael, thetrattati d’amore(treatises of love) by Pietro Bembo and Leone Ebreo, the learned commentaries on the sonnets of Michelangelo and Lorenzo de Medici, or the medical writings on lovesickness, Italy’s obsession with the subject of love was evident. Italian poets such as Dante were particularly preoccupied with the female beloved, whom they typically idealized as a kind of angelic lady (donna angelicata), a heavenly character, rather than an object of sensual appetite and affection. Thomas Wyatt translated Petrarch’s sonnets, includingRime Sparse, by stripping from them one of their most fundamental features: the idea that erotic love could transcend the beloved’s death. This article examines Wyatt’s erotic poetry, how his Protestantism influenced his translations of Petrarchan lyrics, and his attitude toward Neoplatonism.

Labor Unions, Employee Benefits, and the Privatization of the American Welfare State

The “exceptional” nature of American politics has been a favorite theme of scholars since Tocqueville. One of the more famous “exceptions” has been the distinctive development of its welfare state. The United States has perennially been portrayed as the laggard among advanced industrial societies. Indeed, it adopted public pension and insurance programs at a later date than most European societies, and its programs cover smaller portions of the population and address fewer social problems.

History and the Social Sciences: some Reflections on the Re-Integration of Social Science

About twenty-five years ago, the fields and methods of the different academic disciplines concerned with the study of man and his works, and the relations between these disciplines, were a favorite theme of discussion. At that time, the so-called social sciences were experiencing a spectacular expansion in scope simultaneously gaining depth through the constant refinement of their methods. Increasing division of labor in research focused attention on marginal areas, giving rise thereby to several new specialties which threatened to encroach upon already established disciplines. These sometimes heated discussions were, as a whole, a healthy sign of the progress made by the new science of man, which then went through the growing pains of its adolescence. They also meant a staking out of claims between professional groups, a search for new labels and standards, and a reshuffling and re-naming of college courses and text books. This process of reorientation resulted in the organizational structure within which both research and teaching in the American institutions of higher learning have been carried out ever since. Once the demarcation lines had been drawn, however, interest in problems pertaining to the logic of science decreased; and the scholars in the different fields settled down to putting in practice what had now been defined as their proper task.
