Directly Observed Physical Activity and Fundamental Motor Skills in Four-Year-Old Children in Day Care
2016
Physical activity (PA), its location, social interactions and fundamental motor skills (FMS) were investigated in four-year-old Finnish children in day care. Six skills in the stability, locomotor and manipulative domains were assessed in 53 children (24 boys, 29 girls, normal anthropometry) with the APM-Inventory manual for assessing children’s perceptual and FMS and Total Motor Scores (TMS; 0–6 points) calculated. PA intensity, location, group composition and activity type − sitting, squatting, kneeling − were directly observed with a modified version of the Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children – Preschool Version (OSRAC – P) during three consecutive days in 14…
Repetition without Repetition or Differential Learning of Multiple Techniques in Volleyball?
2021
A variety of approaches have been proposed for teaching several volleyball techniques to beginners, ranging from general ball familiarization to model-oriented repetition to highly variable learning. This study compared the effects of acquiring three volleyball techniques in parallel with three approaches. Female secondary school students (N = 42
Concept of an extracellular regulation of muscular metabolic rate during heavy exercise in humans by psychophysiological feedback.
1996
Efferent motor signals to skeletal muscles concern not only the space/ time pattern of motion, but also the setting of muscular performance and through this the control of the current metabolic rate. For an optimal adjustment of metabolic rate during heavy exercise-e.g. in athletic competitions-a feedback control system must exist, including a programmer that takes into consideration a finishing point (teleoanticipation). The presented experiments, using Borg's scale, indicate the existence and functioning of a system for optimal adjustment of performance during heavy exercise and the relevance of teleoanticipatory effects. Thus motor learning includes not only somatosensory control, but al…
The Lègami/Legàmi Service—An Experience of Psychological Intervention in Maternal and Child Care during COVID-19
2021
This study provides a descriptive analysis of the Lègami/Legàmi service, a free psychological support service in maternal and childcare, offered through the internet and by telephone that was initiated by the Italian Society of Pediatric Psychology (S.I.P.Ped.) during the COVID-19 medical emergency as an act of solidarity, first independently, and then in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Health. This paper presents findings related to the “universe” of people who called the toll-free service, from the sociocultural characteristics of the users to the information collected by the professionals during the psychological pathways until human satisfaction was achieved. We provide a ret…
Livelli di rappresentazione del testo nell’edizione del De nomine di Orso Beneventano
2018
Viene presentato l’impianto metodologico e tecnologico dell’edizione critica digitale del De nominedi Orso Beneventano (http://www.unipa.it/paolo.monella/ursus), una proof of concept delle innovazioni metodologiche proposte da Tito Orlandi. Il modello qui sperimentato intende superare la dicotomia tra edizione diplomatica e critica grazie ad un ripensamento profondo, semioticamente fondato, dei livelli di trascrizione e di edizione di un testo. I livelli scelti per questa edizione sono: (1) Livello grafematico, le cui unità minime sono i grafemi, inclusi i segni paragrafematici e le brachilogie sistematiche. Tutti i grafemi individuati dall’editore sono elencati nella Graphemic Table of Sig…
Käsitteellinen ymmärtäminen ja fysiikan oppimiseen liittyvät odotukset lukion mekaniikassa
2018
Aikaisempi tutkimus (Utriainen 2004) ja myöhempi oppimistulosten tarkastelu paljastivat puutteita, jotka koskivat kappaleen liiketilan ja kappaleen vuorovaikutusten välisen yhteyden ymmärrystä. Voimakuvion laadinta ja liikeyhtälön kirjoittaminen tuottivat vaikeuksia. Pakollisella fysiikan kurssilla opiskelijat muodostavat käsityksen, joka koskee fysiikkaa oppiaineena ja sen opiskelua. Saaduilla kokemuksilla voi olla merkitystä fysiikan syventäviin kursseihin kohdistuviin odotuksiin. Opetukselle asetettiin kaksi tavoitetta: piti edistää Newtonin toiseen ja Newtonin kolmanteen lakiin liittyvien tehtävien kvalitatiivista osaamista ja liikeyhtälön kirjoittamista sekä yrittää vaikuttaa opiskelij…
Running a hybrid: mingling in-service and pre-service teachers in peer-mentoring groups
2020
his study examines a hybrid form of the Finnish Peer-Group Mentoring (PGM) merging student teachers and in-service teachers of different career stages in group meetings facilitated by an educated mentor. Experiences of the in-service participants were studied by interviewing them, and the data were analysed through thematic analysis. Four main themes were identified: 1) Enjoying group activities, 2) Personal professional development, 3) Attaching to the professional community and 4) Developing the teacher profession. The study shows that the hybrid model of peer-group mentoring enables opportunities for teacher learning that benefit both schools and teacher education institutions. peerRevie…
Self-regulation of learning: the potential technologies impact of the metacognitive approach
2012
Self-regulation researchers theorize that self-regulation does not occur when learners display personal initiative, perseverance, and adaptive skill in pursuing learning. At its core, self-regulation involves self-motivation as well as metacognitive processes. Reflection on the process of learning is believed to be an essential ingredient in the development of expert teachers. By employing reflective thinking skills to evaluate the results of one’s own learning efforts, awareness of effective learning strategies can be increased and ways to use these strategies in other learning situations can be understood. In this paper, we describe how expert teachers use the knowledge they have gained o…
Always pay attention to which model of motor learning you are using
2022
This critical review considers the epistemological and historical background of the theoretical construct of motor learning for a more differentiated understanding. More than simply reflecting critically on the models that are used to solve problems—whether they are applied in therapy, physical education, or training practice—this review seeks to respond constructively to the recent discussion caused by the replication crisis in life sciences. To this end, an in-depth review of contemporary motor learning approaches is provided, with a pragmatism-oriented clarification of the researcher’s intentions on fundamentals (what?), subjects (for whom?), time intervals (when?), and purpose (for what…
El Índice de la Felicidad Nacional Bruta como complemento ante las limitaciones de los modelos socio-económicos tradicionales: El caso del Reino de B…
2018
El siguiente ensayo tiene por objetivo repasar las limitaciones que presentan los modelos socio-económicos tradicionales, como el Producto Interno Bruto per cápita, para medir la calidad de vida y el bienestar en aquellas naciones con concepciones, en la economía y el consumo, distintas a las que se manejan en Occidente y en la economía ortodoxa. Se describirán, en qué sentido, los estudios cualitativos, de carácter subjetivos enfocados principalmente en la felicidad, complementan a los modelos clásicos que se vinieron utilizando en el siglo anterior. En este marco se da cuenta del Índice de Felicidad Nacional Bruta, ideado e implementado en el Reino de Bután, pequeño estado budista locali…
