Evaluation of Nutrition and Physical Activity Knowledge, Attitudes, Self Efficacy and Behaviors in Teachers and Children after Implementation of the “Healthy Active Kids” Online Program in Australian Elementary Schools

The aims were to examine change in nutrition and physical activity knowledge, self efficacy and attitudes in a cohort of 23 teachers and 304 year 5 and 6 children after the “Healthy Active Kids” online program and to assess any behavioral change in children’s self reported nutrition and physical activity behaviors and investigate the predictors of nutrition knowledge gain in teachers and children. Results found significant (p < 0.0001) increases in teacher and student knowledge of the five food groups;key nutrients provided by each food group, The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating;food labelling laws, identification of common names for fats, sugars and salts on food labels, food proportions on the Healthy Food Plate and the level and percentage of water in the human body and human brain. Teacher attitudes towards the importance of nutrition and diet and self efficacy related to teaching nutrition in class improved (p < 0.01). The final regression model for predictors of the dependent variable, knowledge gain in students was R = 0.53, Adjusted R square = 0.28 (F = 4.76, p < 0.01) indicating that 28% of the variation in knowledge gain was predicted by the negative (low) Time 1 knowledge. Changes to eating habits reported by children were “drinking more water each day” (89.1%) and “eating foods from the five food groups each day” (76.2%);“sharing information about food labels with your family” (52.4%);“reading food labels when you go shopping” (50.0%);“changing what is on your dinner plate each night” (44.2%);“vegetables that you eat now that you didn’t eat before” (42.1%) and “fruits that you eat now” (39%). Results suggest that the development of basic nutrition knowledge is still very important for both teachers and students, but that other factors such as self efficacy, empowerment and skill development also contribute to nutrition behavior change in children.

Educational Probation Under the Tutorial System and the Construction of English Student Teachers’ Knowledge

This paper attempts to explore effective ways of educational probation to promote the professional development of English student teachers. An empirical study is carried out to compare the teachers’ knowledge level of 91 normal students under three different educational probation modes: tutorial system, non-tutorial system, and routine system. Quantitative analysis shows that except English knowledge, the tutorial system is more conducive to promoting normal students’ mastery of educational theory knowledge, general curriculum knowledge, English curriculum knowledge, English teaching knowledge, and students’ knowledge, and the development of these kinds of knowledge is relatively balanced. This study is helpful for teacher educators to provide guidance and help for pre-service English teachers to maximize the benefits of educational probation.

Information behaviors of Chinese K-12physical education teachers:A survey study

Purpose: Given the unique characteristics of physical education(PE) teaching in K-12education,PE teachers' information behaviors deserve special attention.This article reports a survey study of PE teachers' information behaviors,covering information literacy skills and behaviors of information seeking and information use.Design/methodology/approach:A questionnaire survey was conducted of K-12 PE teachers in the Tianjin municipal region of China,with a response rate of 61.9%.Findings:PE teachers lack skills with information retrieval systems in general.The Internet continues to be their primary information source,and they rely more on personal collection and colleagues than the school library for teaching materials.They rarely develop a searching strategy,employ querying tactics,or use advanced search functions,and they tend to be content with finding a few relevant articles.Research limitations:The survey is limited to the Tianjin municipal region in scope.Though attempting to reach 210 participants from 40 schools,it yielded only 130 valid responses.A larger survey covering more regions and with greater responses may be useful.Practical implications:Insights from this study inform the educational and on-job training of K-12 PE teachers to improve their information literacy skills.Originality/value:Little research exists on PE teachers' behaviors of information seeking.This study bridges the gap and enriches our understanding of K-12 teachers' information behaviors.

Association between Teacher Candidates'Competency and First-Year Employment in Physical Education:A Comparison Study

Physical education teacher education(PETE)programs prepare teacher candidates to be competent and employed in P-12 school settings.This study examined the relationship between competency and first-year job obtainment in physical education(PE).Participants included 111 teacher candidates from two schools.Participants'competency in content knowledge in Kinesiology and sub-disciplines(CKKH),content knowledge in sport and skill proficiency(CKSP),pedagogical content knowledge(PCK),and first-year job obtainment in PE were collected.Descriptive statistics,independent-samples t tests,and multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the data.The overall sample showed participants were most competent in PCK,followed by CKSP and CKKH.Female participants were more competent in PCK than their male counterparts,and those at School A performed better in CKSP and PCK than their peers at School B.As a sample,more than half of the participants(55.9%)obtained PE jobs.There was a significance between the overall sample and female participants'competency in CKKH and their first-year employment in PE.This study was limited by sample size,variances in courses between the two schools,and by the defined timeline to clarify first-year PE employment.Implications regarding the importance of CKKH and first-year employment were discussed.

Improving ICU Nurses’ Practices of Physical Restraints in Jordan: Effect of an Educational Program

Background: Physical Restraint (PR) has been widely used in the intensive care units, which aims to protect patients and maintain their safety. With all benefits of PR, there are many complications and risks from improper utilization. Further, no Jordanian studies have found to educate nurses regarding the proper PR utilization. Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an educational program on nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding PR use in ICUs. Methods: A pre-experiment with one-group pretest-posttest design was used among 40 ICU nurses. A self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate nurses before the education program and two weeks after its completion. Results: After implementation of the program, nurses demonstrated a significant difference in knowledge scores between pretest (M = 10.35 ± 1.73) and posttest (M = 13.30 ± 1.47) (t = 9.92;df = 39;P = 0.000), attitudes scores (M = 27.90 ± 2.79 vs. M = 30.40 ± 2.32) (t = 4.61;df = 39;P = 0.000), and practice scores (M = 36.85 ± 1.98 vs. M = 40.52 ± 1.60) (t = 11.59;df = 39;P = 0.000). Conclusion: Service-education program can improve ICU nurses’ knowledge, and enhance their attitudes and practices towards physical restraint. Such improvement is expected to be reflected in improving the quality of care delivered to the patients, and decreasing complications of malpractice regarding physical restraint.

School and community physical activity characteristics and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among Chinese school-aged children： A multilevel path model analysis

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between school and community physical activity(PA) characteristics and levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA) among Chinese school children.Methods: Data were obtained from the 2016 Physical Activity and Fitness in China—The Youth Study project. Participants were 80,928 school children(Grades 4–12; 39,747 boys, 41,181 girls; mean age = 13 years) and 935 physical education(PE) teachers who completed a study survey.Independent variables included both school-related factors(school-level PA support, availability of and access to PA facilities, and the duration of school PE classes) and community-related factors(the frequency of sports events, sports training opportunities, availability of sports clubs and organizations, and access to PA facilities). The dependent variable was the children's self-reported participation in MVPA. The data were analyzed,in 2017, via multilevel modeling.Results: PA support from school administrators was the only school-level factor significantly related to children's participation in MVPA.Children's perceptions of the frequency of community-sponsored sports events, availability of sports clubs and organizations, and convenient access to PA facilities were associated with a high level of MVPA participation. In regard to residency in urban and rural areas, children attending urban schools who perceived high availability of PA facilities were associated with a low level of participation in MVPA.Conclusion: School support for PA and community PA resources are associated with MVPA among Chinese school children. School PA facilities appear underutilized among urban schools as evidenced by low levels of MVPA among school children.

Personal knowledge in educational autobiography:An investigation on“good teachers”

研究“好教师”的特征可以通过多种途径。研究者既可以直接观察教师的行为,也可以阅读教师本人撰写的专业论文。但是,真正有效的路径是:让教师讲述自己的教育自传或个人生活史,让有关“好教师”的个人知识在教师的个人生活史的叙述中间接地显露出来。从大量的教育自传中,本研究得出的基本结论是:好教师有两个基本特征,一是那个教师“对我好”;二是那个教师“有激情”。

文化课教师助推青少年体育高质量发展的根本逻辑、制度困境及实现策略

文化课教师是发展青少年体育的责任主体之一,其赋有助推青少年体育高质量发展的天然使命和资源禀赋。研究认为,青少年体育和学校体育相关政策法规的整体推动、整体健康观念引领下人民对美好生活的殷切向往、为实现体育强国梦借鉴国外有益实践的积极行动,这些都进一步强化青少年体育发展对文化课教师的强烈需求。然而,正式制度建设与更新滞后,难以保障文化课教师参与学校体育工作的切实权益;非正式制度建设效力低微,不足以催发文化课教师的内在动力。据此,研究提出文化课教师助推青少年体育高质量发展的具体策略:推行“借体发挥”的跨学科教学,以学科文化涵养学生体育核心素养;共育校园体育文化,形成非正式学习空间内师生共在的课外体育制度;优化学校教育与学校体育政策法规,建立多元主体共同育人长效机制;祛除功利主义教育观念及行为,躬行体育化、生活化的教书育人实践。

国际教师教育教学法研究的特征、知识建构及启示

在教师教育领域建立一套有效的、系统的教师教育教学法是目前亟待解决的问题。但是我国还未形成教师教育教学法的系统知识来回应现实实践,国际研究可为此提供视野与基础。当前国际上关于教师教育教学法的研究呈现出强调教学专业复杂性、形成教“教”与学“教”的基本框架、重视教学推理与思考明确化、发展多种立场或取向、关注理论与实践关系等特征。围绕这些关注点,可构建起包含教师教育教学法价值论、本体论、主体论、方法论与实践论的知识体系。这启示我国学界未来在教师教育实践的整体系统下,针对教师教育教学法重构内涵、建设多样态的学术共同体、推进多学科理论建构与实证探索并行的路径,并作用于中国自主的教师教育知识体系与教师教育学科建设。

权力技术与主体建构:学前体育的社会学解释框架

学前体育是“幼有所育”“幼有优育”的重要内容与形式,对学前体育政策工具与主体实践的理解是认识学前体育本质内涵与价值指向的重要逻辑起点。借助福柯的权力谱系分析学前体育作为一项“权力技术”如何实现自身成为学前教育的日常化活动,同时论证作为学前体育实践的主体和客体的统一体,幼儿如何借助“自我技术”实现自身主体的建构,以说明学前体育作为国民教育体系的重要组成部分,其终极价值取向是促进儿童的全面发展。认为,在全面推进健康中国的大背景下,学前体育要遵循提升政策引导力、提升科研助推力和提升师资培养力的发展路径。
