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.

“注释”作为修身哲学的操持工夫——从比较视角看希腊化-罗马时期的“注释”传统

在中西方古代的哲学修习中,经典文本的“注释”作为一种修身实践的“操持工夫”起着重要作用。其主要目的有两个:内修和外治。内修就是把注解经典文本作为“自我修身”的一种方式;外治则是通过诠释经典文本,更好地传承文化和教化世人。鉴于此,从比较哲学的视角出发,描述“注释”传统在中西方的具体表现,考察“注释”作为修习哲学的主要方式在希腊化-罗马时期的状况,探究“注释”原则的确立及其对文化思想“创造性发展”的作用。由此得出以下观点:第一,在古代西方的哲学传统中,注释文本更重要的并不是“创造”,而是如何“继承”经典典籍中的原初真理,犹如中国“经书”的注疏传统;第二,中西方的注释家在注释文本之时也是在与文本进行“对话”,这意味着理解与践行一种哲学的“生活方式”,以便学习者获得“精神升进”和“自我转化”;第三,中西方的“注释”哲学是学者们“修己治人”和“化民成俗”的重要方式。“注释”尽管有“创造性的误读”,但却依靠“注释技艺”构筑了一栋栋向系统化方向发展的诠释大厦。总之,“注释”作为修身哲学的“操持工夫”,不仅能够更新我们对中西方古代哲学本身的理解,同时也能回答当代人的生活选择如何承续古人的智慧。

“经师”与“人师”统一:我国中小学教师职前培养的关键难点

中小学教师职前培养是其职业生涯的主体中心环节,在此过程中强调“经师”与“人师”的统一,是其可否成为教师职业胜任者的重中之重,也是中小学教师职前培养的关键难点。当前我国中小学教师职前培养偏重“经师”,体现出知识本位、技能本位、实践本位等目标取向。实现“经师”与“人师”的统一培养特别是培养“人师”意义重大,培养“人师”不仅是弘扬中华优秀传统文化的内在要义,而且是落实“立德树人”教育根本任务的必然要求,还是新时代建设高质量教师队伍的根本遵循。目前在实现“经师”与“人师”统一过程中,还面临着培养主体育人理念存在错位、培养对象在专业学习过程中功利化倾向较为严重、培养过程的核心维度和关键内容失之偏颇等问题。基于此,中小学教师职前培养应遵循国家聚焦制度政策建设、学校致力培养过程改革、高校教师夯实“人师”培养能力、师范生主动提升“人师”力等多维协同,最终实现“经师”与“人师”的统一培养。

The Relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Self-Esteem along with the Importance of Support for Children

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is widely known in our society. The symptoms of PTSD are particularly believed to occur predominantly in children. We believe that Yogo teachers, who play a role in maintaining and promoting the health of children, are expected to provide appropriate support for children with a tendency for PTSD. In this study, we investigated the tendency for PTSD in students at University, as well as self-esteem related to depression and anxiety. Furthermore, we clarified the relationship between PTSD and self-esteem and examined the support provided by Yogo teachers. As a result, it was found that the higher the tendency for PTSD, the lower the self-esteem. We believe that the onset of PTSD causes a decline in memory ability and attentional function, which interferes with one’s life and leads to self-denial, resulting in a decline in self-esteem among those with a high tendency for PTSD. These results suggest that Yogo teachers should provide support to prevent the onset of PTSD in child students due to accidents, incidents, natural disasters, etc., as well as support to prevent the decline in self-esteem associated with the onset of PTSD.
