Social Justice And The Future Of Higher Education Kinesiology, Brian Culp
Social Justice And The Future Of Higher Education Kinesiology, Brian Culp
Faculty and Research Publications
This article presents a rationale for the infusion of social justice into kinesiology programs for the purpose of reducing inequities in society. Specifically, the current climate for social justice is considered and discussed using examples from an university-inspired service-learning initiative, law, and politics. Of note are the following areas of discussion: (a) differentiation between social diversity and social justice, (b) public pedagogy as a means by which to inspire service action, (c) the creation of climates for speech and application of social justice, (d) modeling and socialization for equity, and (e) the neoliberal threat to inclusiveness. The article concludes with …
Effects Of A High-Intensity Interval Training Program Versus A Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training Program On Maximal Oxygen Uptake And Blood Pressure In Healthy Adults: Study Protocol For A Randomized Controlled Trial, Victor Hugo Arboleda Serna, Elkin Fernando Arango Vélez, Rubén Darío Gómez Arias, Yuri Feito

Background: Participation in aerobic exercise generates increased cardiorespiratory fitness, which results in a protective factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. High-intensity interval training might cause higher increases in cardiorespiratory fitness in comparison with moderate-intensity continuous training; nevertheless, current evidence is not conclusive. To our knowledge, this is the first study to test the effect of high-intensity interval training with total load duration of 7.5 min per session. Methods: A randomized controlled trial will be performed on two groups of healthy, sedentary male volunteers (n = 44). The study protocol will include 24 exercise sessions, three times a week, including …

Principal Perceptions Of The Effectiveness Of University Educational Leadership Preparation And Professional Learning, Arvin D. Johnson
Faculty and Research Publications
Principals and assistant principals currently serving in Florida and Georgia school districts were surveyed about their perceptions of university educational leadership preparation and professional learning. The results revealed that many principals and assistant principals agreed that university educational leadership preparation programs enhanced their overall preparation, school leadership, and school law. However, participants disagreed that leadership preparation programs assisted them in managing school budget, data analysis, and human resources. Participants overwhelmingly indicated that school districts provide meaningful professional learning opportunities and that they prefer job-embedded learning experiences over university preparation.
Drawing On Metaphors Of Teaching To Elicit Reflexive Thinking, Harriett Bessette, Nita A. Paris
Drawing On Metaphors Of Teaching To Elicit Reflexive Thinking, Harriett Bessette, Nita A. Paris
Faculty and Research Publications
This paper describes the findings of a study that involved the generation of metaphors by practicing educators to promote reflexive thought, recognized today as one of the most viable and vigorous tools for troubling and influencing P-12 educational practice (Bolton, 2010). A total of 23 educators enrolled in an advanced graduate teacher education program beyond the masters level were first asked to construct a written (verbal) metaphor to depict their lived experiences as teachers and/or learners. Participants were then asked to create an original drawing to approximate their espoused metaphor. Educators’ drawings were analyzed for apparent features and traits as …
