How students learn to teach? A case study of instrumental lessons given by Latvian undergraduate performer students without prior teacher training
2012
The purpose of this study was to describe and discuss the way students of the Latvian Academy of Music teach before having entered a teacher training programme. Five hours of students’ teaching work was video-taped, analysed and discussed with them between the spring of 2010 and the winter of 2011. The descriptive and analytic results of this study were also contrasted with their own views on pedagogy, which were drawn from a previous study that had been conducted with the same students and their peers in the fall of 2009. The role of the teaching habits and skills that students have acquired from their own teaching, temperament or background is discussed, as well as their needs starting te…
EFICACIA DE UN PROGRAMA DE INTERVENCIÓN PARA MEJORAR LA COMPETENCIA, AUTONOMÍA Y BIENESTAR DE EDUCADORES DE CENTROS DE PROTECCIÓN DE MENORES
2010
En este estudio cuasi-experimental pre-test post-test sin grupo control, se analizaron los efectos de un programa de intervencion, cuyo objetivo fue mejorar el bienestar de los educadores a traves de la satisfaccion de las necesidades de competencia y de autonomia. Participaron 55 educadores, 24 hombres y 31 mujeres (M edad = 33,6; DT = 8,1) que trabajaban en Centros de Proteccion de Menores de la Comunidad Valenciana. Los resultados mostraron un cambio significativo en todas las variables en la direccion esperada. Ademas, informaron que los cambios en la satisfaccion de las necesidades de competencia y autonomia produjeron cambios en la autoestima; mientras que las variaciones en la vitali…
Calculus Artefacts in Chinese Textbooks: Variational Approaches with Prospective Primary Teachers
2022
The first part of the paper presents some theoretical reflections and some methodological notes about a Professional Development (PD) path worked out during the last two years by Italian researchers for prospective primary teachers. The theoretical construct of Cultural Transposition defines the framework of the PD path’s activities and the related research. It was used to define an interesting cultural lens to delineate possible new approaches for effective pre-service teacher education programs in particular for the primary level. The defined methodology was based on the possibility to reflect on the he decentralization of didactic practices based on a specific cultural context through on…
Effects of deep cervical flexor training on pressure pain thresholds over myofascial trigger points in patients with chronic neck pain.
2012
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a low-load training program for the deep cervical flexors (DCFs) on pain, disability, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) over cervical myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in patients with chronic neck pain.Thirty patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain participated in a 6-week program of specific training for the DCF, which consisted of active craniocervical flexion performed twice per day (10-20 minutes) for the duration of the trial. Perceived pain and disability (Neck Disability Index, 0-50) and PPT over MTrPs of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and splenius capitis muscles were measured at the beginning and end of the training…
Evaluation of visual-motor reaction time and quality of response in rugby sevens players after the application of a neurocognitive training programme
2019
This work proposes a neurocognitive training (NCT) programme that seeks to optimise the mechanisms of visual perception, the processing of information and decision making. Also, to evaluate the eff...
Entraînement auditif et musical chez l'enfant sourd profond : effets sur la perception auditive et effets de transferts
2012
This thesis focuses on the auditory training and auditory skill development of congenitally profoundly deaf children. It aims to evaluate, not only the effects of auditory training/auditory skill development on general auditory performances, but also the transfer effects on speech perception and development. An extended period of auditory deprivation leads to major difficulties in reception and speech production, cognitive difficulties, and also disrupts the maturation of central auditory pathways which limit the effects of hearing loss treatment in restoring sound transmission (cochlear implants or hearing aids). It is therefore necessary to teach children how to actively listen and to dev…
Pruebas T vs análisis categorial: evolución de la agilidad en los adultos mayores tras dos años de entrenamiento (T test vs categorical analysis: evo…
2020
Entendiendo que entrenar no siempre significa alcanzar la independencia funcional para un adulto mayor (AM), ni desentrenar perderla, se crearon 4 categorías para valorar el efecto a largo plazo de un programa multicomponente físico-cognitivo sobre el nivel de independencia en sus usuarios. Se evaluaron 25 AM sanos (69.74±5.36 años) a lo largo de dos años, considerando 2 periodos de Entrenamiento (E1, E2; 8 meses cada uno) y Desentrenamiento (D1, D2; 3 meses + 1 de evaluación). Se analizó la agilidad (Time Up&Go Test) por su relación con la marcha y la prevención de caídas. Los cambios de categoría entre periodos se analizaron mediante el test exacto de Fisher, seguido de un ANOVA de me…
Effects of initial performance, gross efficiency and VO_2peak characteristics on subsequent adaptations to endurance training in competitive cyclists
2018
The present study investigated the effects of initial levels of cycling performance, peak oxygen uptake (www.frontiersin.orgO2peak) and gross efficiency (GE) on the subsequent adaptations of these variables and their relationship following high-intensity training (HIT) designed to increase www.frontiersin.orgO2peak in competitive cyclists. Sixty cyclists (www.frontiersin.orgO2peak = 61 ± 6 mL kg-1 min-1) were assigned a 12-week training program consisting of twenty-four supervised high-intensity interval training sessions and ad libitum low intensity training. GE was calculated at 125, 175, and 225 W and performance was determined by mean power during a 40-min time-trial (Power40 min). In a…
EFFECTS OF A SPECIFIC FLEXIBILITY TRAINING PROGRAM ON SPINAL RANGE OF MOTION IN OLDER WOMEN
2013
Introduction Aging-related reduced spinal mobility can interfere with the execution of important functional skills and activities in elderly women. However there is a lack of studies about the effects of range of motion exercises on flexibility outcomes in older populations and a lack of consensus regarding the prescription of stretching exercises for older adults (ACSM, 2009). For these reasons the purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which spinal extension and flexion could be improved in a population of older women participating in a 8-week flexibility training program. Methods Thirty female volunteers were cluster randomized into either a control group [CG] (n: 13; age: 69…
Fiabilidad y evidencias de validez de un instrumento para la evaluación de la calidad de los mapas conceptuales
2017
Diversos autores han señalado el interés y la pertinencia de los mapas conceptuales como herramientas para el aprendizaje significativo. Sin embargo, la revisión de la literatura pone de manifiesto la escasez de propuestas dirigidas a la evaluación de los mapas con criterios objetivables y la complejidad de las existentes. El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar un instrumento para la evaluación de los mapas conceptuales en formato rúbrica. De esta manera, se consigue que los alumnos posean una herramienta que permita, mediante indicadores precisos, la evaluación de la calidad tanto de sus ejecuciones como de las ejecuciones realizadas por otros. Se construyó una rúbrica que incluy…
