Space-timeScapes as ecopedagogy

ABSTRACT

This emergent field of ecopedagogy gives little conceptual, methodological, and empirical consideration to the significance of spatial and temporal elements of environmental learning. This article focuses on both spatial and temporal components of three ecopedagogic instances, examining experiences from participant's perspective. Specific (eco)pedagogic dimensions of each learning experience are compared and contrasted, and synthesized into an emergent concept/practice of ecopedagogy at a range of spatial scales and across life courses. The article concludes that regardless of the specific spatial context, space-time aware learning experiences offer tactile, embodied encounters with different natural settings. Such sensuous and affective dimensions of experience of scapes emerge as crucial to encouraging nature-culture interrelativity for participants. Space-time-based and alert encounters thus materialize as central to the development of ecopedagogy.     

美育在体育教学中的运用

浅议体育教学中的美育

体育和美育相互联系,相互促进。在体育教学中,应创造美的环境,发挥教师的主导作用,对学生进行美育教育。     

浅谈竞技运动与体育教学

竞技运动是一种具有竞争性、挑战性、规则性、公平性和不确定性的身体活动。这种身体活动并不追求身心完美,它所追求的只是比赛最后的胜利,即夺标,争冠军,是一个具有文化性和社会性的复合体。长期以来,竞技运动在体育教学中占有很重要的比重,而围绕竞技运动进行的教学,由于过分强调动作技术的精细化、规范化,而背离了体育教学的根本目标,所以只有将竞技运动加以改造、整理后使之有利于增强学生体质,符合现代教育全面发展人才的需要,才能实现现代体育教学的根本目标。     

环境审美融入中学地理课程环境教育的思考

中学地理课程在环境教育中有着独特的优势与作用,因此地理课程已成为了中学环境教育的主要课程之一。基于地理教学目标下的渗透式教学模式的中学环境教育在一定程度制约了环境教育的快速发展,影响中学生环境素养的提升。为提高环境教育的效果,环境审美以其独特魅力将根植于学生内心深处,激发其学习热情,同时通过审美空间营造和审美体验活动,促进中学生环境素养的提升。

Active citizenship through sport education

Sport education (SE) is an instruction model developed amid concerns about the lack of authentic, legitimate opportunities for young people to experience sport through physical education and was designed to facilitate enhanced links between experiences in physical education and those in the wider world of sport. The paper discusses how one UK primary school delivered key citizenship education learning through the use of SE. The research reported here is based on interviews with teachers and students in Year 6 at one co-education, state-run primary school. The paper highlights the possibilities for teaching citizenship through the medium of sport while recognising the central importance of the creative teaching approach rather than the subject matter of sport in facilitating the development of active citizenship. The possibilities for citizenship education through sport to be celebratory and supportive of real-world discourses are highlighted. As a solution to the overcrowded curriculum in primary schools, SE has been embraced and developed by the teachers in ‘Forest Gate School’.     

The Future of Sport Philosophy in Higher Education Kinesiology

ABSTRACT

Massengale’s Trends Toward the Future of Physical Education (1987) makes no reference to the existence of the philosophic inquiry of physical activity within higher education kinesiology programs—even though the sub-discipline had been formalized by academics in the early 1970s. In contrast, Massengale and Swanson’s The History of Exercise and Sport Science (1997) dedicated a chapter to sport philosophy’s development, including a prognosis of its future. Since then, there has been tremendous growth in the sub-discipline, including an increase in publication outlets, stand-alone monographs, and the creation of academic associations globally. Yet this growth has not necessarily secured sport philosophy’s place in higher education curriculum. In this article, we briefly review the history of philosophic inquiry into physical activity and review previous predictions of the sub-discipline’s future before offering our own prognostication of its future in higher education.     

The Merits and Demerits of Pleasure in Kinesiology

What role should pleasure play in kinesiology? Although pleasure is an important concept in kinesiology, the strengths, weaknesses, and dangers of this concept have not been properly clarified. Douglas Booth and Richard Pringle have both recently scolded kinesiologists over the issue of pleasure in kinesiology with decidedly mixed results. They insist that the importance of pleasure has been neglected, and that the role that human culture plays in properly understanding pleasure in kinesiology, has been underestimated. Booth (2009) Booth, D. 2009. Pleasure and physical education philosophy. Quest, 61(2): 133–153. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] argues that “puritanical” prohibitions have made pleasure suspect. Pringle (2010) Pringle, R. 2010. The educative value of positive movement affects. Quest, 62(2): 119–134. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] argues that kinesiologists must remember that “many students are not currently gaining a love for movement in their [physical education] experiences” (p. 130). Each scholar's suspicion of traditional distinctions between “good and bad physical pleasures” (Booth, 2009 Booth, D. 2009. Pleasure and physical education philosophy. Quest, 61(2): 133–153. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], p. 148) results in an untenable commitment to pleasure as an intrinsic good. In short, their views are hedonistic. Although Booth and Pringle are right that pleasure is good, it is not an end in itself.

美育在物理化学教学中的渗透

在物理化学教学中渗透美育,不仅可以激发学生的探索热情和学习兴趣,提高学习效率,而且能够培养他们的创新能力和科学方法的运用能力,还能使他们在学习科学文化知识的同时,受到美的熏陶:简明之美在于高度概括,树立审美意识;韵律之美在于启迪智慧,构建知识网络;多样统一之美在于类比,呈现科学方法;应用之美在于真善,指导生活和工农业生产;新奇之美在于探索创新,激发学习兴趣;形式之美在于直现,展示科学规律;秩序之美在于对立,揭示矛盾世界.     

对高职院校学生体质健康状况的测试与研究

通过测量法、数理统计等研究方法,对连云港职业技术学院07级学生的身体形态、身体机能、身体素质三项指标进行测量、统计、分析研究,结果表明：学生体质健康状况处于中等水平,体质发展不均衡,前臂及手部力量和下肢爆发力较强,耐力素质较好身体匀称度欠佳,超重和肥胖问题比较突出,学生的肺通气功能较差,心肺功能较弱,出现这种现象的主要原因是学院体育课程的设置不够合理,没有真正做到以学生为主体;其次,学生没有真正理解体质测试的意义,对体质测试的重视程度不够。为改变目前这种状况,更好地提高学生的健康水平,应该转变教学观念,树立“以人为本、健康第一”的指导思想;重视教学方法的创新和学生学习兴趣的培养;改善体育课程设置,改进和完善体育考核办法。     

The Cardinal Virtues and Kinesiology

What is a good kinesiologist? Is it possible that the ancient and medieval tradition of the Cardinal Virtues sheds light on this question? The four Cardinal Virtues of prudence, justice, courage, and temperance are so called from the Latin cardo meaning “hinge.” The Cardinal Virtues are said to be the hinge upon which all the other virtues rest or turn. They are the foundation of good character. If this is right, then the answer to the question posed is simple. The good kinesiologist is prudent, just, courageous, and temperate. Therefore, to move the field forward, even on a practical level, kinesiologists must give due attention to the virtues.     

Investigating provision and impact of the primary Physical Education and Sport Premium: a West Midlands case study

In March 2013, the UK government announced that it was to award the Primary Physical Education and Sport Premium funding to all English state-funded primary schools to improve provision of Physical Education and sport following the London 2012 Olympic Games. This study reports on seven schools in close geographical proximity to each other within the West Midlands region of England to find out about the provision and impact of the Physical Education and sport premium funding so far.     

The Body and the Place of Physical Activity in Education: Some classical perspectives

Abstract

The place of physical education has been contested in recent times and it has been argued that its justification as part of school curricula seems to be marginal at best. Such justifications as have been offered, propose that physical education is justified because of its contribution to moral development or because it is capable of being studied as a theoretical subject. Other justifications have centred on the embodied nature of the human being. In this article we draw on some classical thinkers, Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Augustine and Benedict, to argue for a strong, integrated view of the human person. From this it is concluded that physical education is a necessary component of education and that a complete education therefore involves physical education. Physical education is understood in a broad sense as a family resemblance concept which incorporates a wide variety of physical activities. Disciplined physical activity which enables individuals to gain those physical skills required for learning, it is proposed, is essential for intellectual development. Benedictine education, which involves hard physical work, reading, prayer and reflection, illustrates how the physical and mental aspects of a person are to be integrated in order to attain the ends of the committed Benedictine monk.
