Modified Delphi Investigation Of Exercise Science In Physical Education Teacher Education, Sean M. Bulger
Modified Delphi Investigation Of Exercise Science In Physical Education Teacher Education, Sean M. Bulger
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
As physical education teacher educators experiment with alternative pedagogical approaches to bridge the gap between subdisciplinary theory and professional practice, the need for enhanced multi-disciplinary research and communication continues. The purpose of this study was to determine the critical exercise science competencies, and associated instructional methods, that are recommended for inclusion in the physical education teacher education undergraduate curriculum. An initial list of theoretical and applied exercise science competencies was constructed using the knowledge, skills, and abilities recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine for individuals working in the field of exercise science. The two-round, modified Delphi procedure involved …
Reliability Of Position And Mobility Of The First Ray In Experienced And Inexperienced Examiners, Crystal Shirk
Reliability Of Position And Mobility Of The First Ray In Experienced And Inexperienced Examiners, Crystal Shirk
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The purposes of this study were to determine intra and interrater reliability for Root's method for measuring first ray position and mobility for experienced and inexperienced examiners. This study was a single-blind prospective reliability study examining experienced and inexperienced examiners in their measurements of first ray position and mobility. A total of 36 subjects and four examiners (two experienced and two inexperienced) participated in this study. Five recorders recorded all data. Subjects came in on two separate occasions, one week apart, so that examiners could evaluate their bilateral first ray position and mobility, using Root's technique for both measurements. Kappa …

Teachers' Perceptions Of The Goals Of Secondary Schools Physical Education In State Of Kuwait, Obaid Alshammari
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of the Kuwait physical education teachers relevant to the goals of the physical education program for secondary schools. Data were collected from a sample consisting of 200 (n = 200) physical education teachers teaching in six provinces in Kuwait. For data collection, a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, named "Kuwaiti Physical Education Goals" (KPEG) was designed. The instrument asked the participants to indicate the level of agreement with four categories of physical education goals. In addition, differences in teachers based on gender between physical education teachers' perceptions were investigated. An examination …
Do Practice Weights Vary From Wrestling Weights Throughout The Season And Can The Difference Predict Win/Loss Records?, Rebecca L. Sidener
Do Practice Weights Vary From Wrestling Weights Throughout The Season And Can The Difference Predict Win/Loss Records?, Rebecca L. Sidener
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The purposes of the study were (1) to determine if weight fluctuates between 2 time points from the competition weight; (2) to determine if the wrestlers who had difference in weight also had differences in win percentages. The independent variables were competition weights and time. The dependent variable was the average weight deviation for the first question. The independent variable was the average weight deviation at the two time points (two variables) and the dependent variable was the win percentage for the second question. A Pearson's Correlation and two independent t-tests were used for statistical information. The study consisted of …
Effects Of A Curricular Model On Skill Development, Knowledge, And Game Performance, Tony Pritchard
Effects Of A Curricular Model On Skill Development, Knowledge, And Game Performance, Tony Pritchard
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Being able to play a sport has been a primary goal of any physical education program (NASPE, 1995). A tool used by physical education teachers in promoting sport has been the use of curricular models. Two models that have been of interest have been the Sport Education Curricular Model (SECM) and a multi-activity model. With little research investigating how these two models influence game play in the secondary level; the purpose of this study was to investigate how the SECM and a longer version of the multi-activity model called the Extended Multi-Activity Model (EMAM) would affect skill development, knowledge, and …
