Researching up and across in physical education and sport pedagogy: methodological lessons learned from an intergenerational narrative inquiry

Of issue in this paper are the ways in which different forms of narrative may be of value in undertaking research in potentially thorny situations. The project that inspired this paper saw 30 Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy (PESP) Early Career Academics (ECAs) from more than 20 universities across Australasia, North America and Europe, provide narrative accounts of their ongoing academic experiences. From these stories, three letters seeking advice and guidance from leaders in the field were constructed. Following further feedback from the ECAs, the 3 letters were sent to 11 professors in the PESP field with a request to respond, also in letter form. The composite letters and the professorial responses were then the subject of a symposium at an international PESP conference. While the larger project engages with questions of being and becoming an academic in the neoliberal university, this paper is primarily concerned with methodological issues, including our steps and missteps with narrative, inquiry and the field. More specifically, the focus is on narrative as both the method and phenomena of study. As such, we consider issues associated with using dialogue as data, the provocation of participants, as well as both the presentation and representation of data and the relative power of the participants. In doing so, we critically engage with issues of anonymity (or lack thereof), the practice of ‘researching up’ and finally reach the conclusion that the careful approach to data generation, treatment and presentation necessitated by this project, should be a more regular feature of all qualitative inquiry.

Guiding Low Spatial Ability Individuals through Visual Cueing: The Dual Importance of Where and When to Look

Research suggests that spatial ability may predict success in complex disciplines including anatomy, where mastery requires a firm understanding of the intricate relationships occurring along the course of veins, arteries, and nerves, as they traverse through and around bones, muscles, and organs. Debate exists on the malleability of spatial ability, and some suggest that spatial ability can be enhanced through training. It is hypothesized that spatial ability can be trained in low-performing individuals through visual guidance. To address this, training was completed through a visual guidance protocol. This protocol was based on eye-movement patterns of high-performing individuals, collected via eye-tracking as they completed an Electronic Mental Rotations Test (EMRT). The effects of guidance were evaluated using 33 individuals with low mental rotation ability, in a counterbalanced crossover design. Individuals were placed in one of two treatment groups (late or early guidance) and completed both a guided, and an unguided EMRT. A third group (no guidance/control) completed two unguided EMRTs. All groups demonstrated an increase in EMRT scores on their second test (P < 0.001); however, an interaction was observed between treatment and test iteration (P = 0.024). The effect of guidance on scores was contingent on when the guidance was applied. When guidance was applied early, scores were significantly greater than expected (P = 0.028). These findings suggest that by guiding individuals with low mental rotation ability “where” to look early in training, better search approaches may be adopted, yielding improvements in spatial reasoning scores. It is proposed that visual guidance may be applied in spatial fields, such as STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine), surgery, and anatomy to improve student's interpretation of visual content.

四川省优秀运动员职业变迁的问题解构与对策研究

社会转型背景下,基于有意行为、整体终身发展及社会学相关理论。运用社会调研、问卷调查、归纳、演绎等研究方法。对四川省优秀运动员职业变迁的现状进行调查与分析,剖析运动员职业变迁过程中存在的问题及致因。并在此基础上,提出解决运动员职业变迁问题的建议。研究显示：运动员职业生涯阶段的发展规划缺失,职业变迁的计划滞后;职业变迁准备的主动性不足,缺乏有效应对策略;文化水平低,技能单一且难以有效迁移,角色转换欠流畅;传统职业变迁路径变窄,社会支持与退役保障体系欠完善。     

中国传统“动形养生”文化源流

早在上古时代,我国"动形养生"的思想已萌芽,但"动以养形"的理论始于《吕氏春秋》所记载:"流水不腐,户枢不蠹"。并在养生学长期的发展过程中,逐渐走向成熟,其内涵为:动静结合,形神共养。本文对我国传统动形养生思想的理论源流进行了梳理,尤其对《黄帝内经》之"形神兼养"这一养生观进行了详尽论述。旨在追溯我国传统动形养生文化之源流。     

论社会主义新农村建设对群众体育事业发展的积极影响

改革开放以来,经济的迅速增长对我国体育事业的发展产生了深刻的影响,而体育事业在改善劳动者素质、提高劳动者生活质量、提高劳动生产效率、创造巨额资金收入、缓解社会就业压力等方面做出了重要贡献。从体育事业发展的经济联动效应上看,农村体育事业可以带动其他产业的良性、快速发展。本文以新时期农村经济发展与体育事业的关系为切入点,以新农村体育事业与农村经济发展的互动的关系为主线。深入探讨了新农村体育事业发展应采取的举措与对策,进而揭示出新农村体育事业与新农村经济发展的内在联系,这对今后社会主义新农村建设与体育事业发展具有积极的意义。     

浙江省体育教育专业大学生择业取向调查与分析

采用问文献资料法、问卷调查法、数理统计法对我省5所高校体育院系体育教育专业毕业生择业取向进行调查。结果表明,体育教育专业大学生择业取向呈多元化趋势,专业对口观念逐渐淡化,更注重个人未来发展,但对工资待遇期望值过高。提出了增强自身素质、贴近就业现状、走近就业市场的建议。     

角色冲突对职业妇女参与体育的影响

全民健身活动实施过程中,妇女体育一直是薄弱环节。当代中国职业妇女深受职业—家庭双重角色的困扰,这种双重角色所引起的角色冲突在很大程度上影响了妇女参与体育锻炼。从社会性别差异的角度进行研究,认为职业妇女由于受双重的角色压力,对其体育价值观念的形成,以及对余暇时间的支配等方面产生影响,导致她们很少参与体育锻炼。     

论大学新生的个性引导对高校体育教学效果的影响

当前高校体育教学改革的重点基本都是围绕如何构建体育教师的个性化教学理念和如何满足学生的个性化需求进行的。依据"90后"学生的性格特征,采用对比实验法,得出以下结论:个性引导教学对提高教学效果具有一定的优势,它能促进学生的个性发展;有效提高学生参与体育运动的兴趣;提高体育成绩,增强身体素质;能拉近师生距离,形成良好的师生关系。但由于个性发展的难控性,容易使学生重成绩而轻技术,而且对体育教师的课堂组织带来一定的难度。所以,个性引导教学应该有的放矢的进行,要肯定学生的个性发展,但也应该以课堂纪律作为约束,在一定的纪律要求下充分发挥学生的个性,才能使体育教学向着有效积极的方向发展。     

Designing informal learning experiences for early career academics using a knowledge ecosystem model

This article presents a ‘knowledge ecosystem’ model of how early career academics experience using information to learn while building their social networks for developmental purposes. Developed using grounded theory methodology, the model offers a way of conceptualising how to empower early career academics through (1) agency (individual and relational) and (2) facilitation of personalised informal learning (design of physical and virtual systems and environments) in spaces where developmental relationships are formed, including programmes, courses, events, community, home and social media. It is suggested that the knowledge ecosystem model is suitable for use in designing informal learning experiences for early career academics.
