This book was released on 2012 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Research on adapted physical education (APE) teachers' attitudes towards their students with disabilities is extremely limited and most research on general physical education (GPE) teachers' attitudes towards students with disabilities have been based on the concept of inclusion. The Model of Differential Expectations posits that, because students with hidden disabilities (HD) lack obvious physical signs related to their disability, teachers' may expect students with HD to attain close to model performance typical of non-disabled peers; whereas, teachers have lowered and more realistic expectations for students with visible disabilities. To investigate if APE teachers' attitudes towards their students with disabilities differ as a function of whether the disability is hidden or visible, 172 APE teachers attending a national APE conference were surveyed. Results were consistent with the Model of Differential Expectations and indicate APE teachers tended to form different attitudes and expectations for their students with disabilities depending on whether the disability was hidden or visible. Participants were requested to nominate two of their students for prompts corresponding with the attitudes of attachment and rejection. Chi-square statistical analysis supported hypothesis one; students with visible disabilities were significantly overrepresented among teachers' nominations in the attachment category ([chi]2 (1, N = 340) = 23.786, p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case studies in this book provide readers with opportunities to think critically about real-life situations that arise when working with children with varied abilities and disabilities, as well as opportunities to question and explore and to empower themselves in the process. The case scenarios illustrate actual experiences faced by a diverse group of general and adapted physical educators representing various contexts from self-contained APE classes and inclusive GPE (elementary, middle, and high school; urban, rural, and suburban) to youth sports, community recreation, and health club settings. When reading the book, pre-service and in-service teachers will be exposed to the issues facing physical educators as changes in federal law further mandate the inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education classes and after-school sports. Identifying with the situations and characters in the cases will encourage readers to explore such issues as diversity and disability, attitude and ethics, behavior management and conflict resolution, and inclusion strategies. Questions following each case prompt readers to identify the critical issues and how the physical education professionals dealt with those issues, and then determine whether they would have handled the issues in the same way. Analyzing and discussing the cases will enable readers to formulate strategies for dealing with related issues and better prepare them to provide safe, satisfying, and successful physical activity experiences to individuals with varied abilities.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an undergraduate adapted physical education course on the attitudes of pre-service physical educators toward individuals with disabilities. The participants for this study were 108 students enrolled in undergraduate adapted physical education courses at a faith-based university. The Physical Educators Attitude toward Teaching Individuals with Disabilities, third edition pre- and post-intervention was utilized to assess any changes in the participants' attitudes toward individuals with disabilities. Statistically significant differences were found between the participants' pre- and post-intervention attitudinal scores on all measured areas (i.e. emotional disturbance, learning disabled, mild intellectual disability, severe intellectual disability, and total). There were no statistically significant differences in attitudinal scores based on the gender of the respondents. There were no statistically significant differences in the attitudinal scores based on the respondents either enrolling in both the lecture course and the laboratory, or alone enrolling in the lecture course.

Book excerpt: This handbook represents the first comprehensive and evidence-based review of theory, research, and practice in the field of adapted physical education (APE). Exploring philosophical and foundational aspects of APE, the book outlines the main conceptual frameworks informing research and teaching in this area, and presents important material that will help shape best practice and future research. Written by world-leading researchers, the book introduces the key themes in APE, such as historical perspectives on disability, disability and the law, language, and measurement. It examines the most significant theoretical frameworks for understanding APE, from embodiment and social cognitive theory to occupational socialization, and surveys current debates and practical issues in APE, such as teacher training, the use of technology, and physical inactivity and health. Acknowledging the importance of the voices of children, parents and peers, the book also explores research methods and paradigms in APE, with each chapter including directions for further research. Offering an unprecedented wealth of material, the Routledge Handbook of Adapted Physical Education is an essential reference for advanced students, researchers and scholars working in APE, and useful reading for anybody with an interest in disability, physical education, sports coaching, movement science or youth sport.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: An explanatory mixed methods design was used to investigate pre-service physical education attitudes towards teaching students with disabilities. The purpose of the quantitative portion of the study was to examine whether there was a difference in self-efficacy of pre-service teachers enrolled in an adapted physical education (APE) course with embedded fieldwork, teaching students with disabilities (Group 1; N = 19) versus pre-service teachers enrolled in a prerequisite course with fieldwork that does not include working with students with disabilities (Group 2; N = 25). Data was collected using the 33-question, Situational-Specific Self-Efficacy and Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Physical Education (SE-PETE-D), Version 3.3 survey. Three separate two-way ANOVAs, one for each type of disability (ID, PD, VD), were conducted, where timing (pre, post) is a within-subjects factor and course (Group 1: APE course, Group 2: prerequisite course) was a between subjects factor. There was a significant main effect of timing between the pre and post survey for both groups, on all sections of the test. The results exhibited no significant interaction or main effect of the between-subjects factor (group) on increasing self efficacy. The researcher then conducted one-on-one semi structured interviews with purposeful selection of participants. The purpose of this qualitative portion was to investigate the following research question: what are pre-service physical education teacher’s self-efficacy towards teaching in an inclusion class? With the use of the data collected through a survey and interviews, this present study will provide professors with a better understanding of the readiness of pre-service teachers to teach in an inclusion class. Participants included three pre-service teachers, who were all currently enrolled in an APE course (Group 1). Open, axial, and selective coding was used to analyze data. Key themes included self concept, room for growth, and resources. Trustworthiness of the themes was established through the use of peer debriefing and member checking. The results acquired through the quantitative portion of the study provided future implications for increasing pre-service teachers self-efficacy when they enter into fieldwork. The results for the qualitative interviews conducted led to future implications for providing pre-service teachers the proper content and experience needed to gain self-efficacy in working with students with disabilities.
