Download or read book Sequential Analysis and Observational Methods for the Behavioral Sciences written by Roger Bakeman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral scientists – including those in psychology, infant and child development, education, animal behavior, marketing and usability studies – use many methods to measure behavior. Systematic observation is used to study relatively natural, spontaneous behavior as it unfolds sequentially in time. This book emphasizes digital means to record and code such behavior; while observational methods do not require them, they work better with them. Key topics include devising coding schemes, training observers and assessing reliability, as well as recording, representing and analyzing observational data. In clear and straightforward language, this book provides a thorough grounding in observational methods along with considerable practical advice. It describes standard conventions for sequential data and details how to perform sequential analysis with a computer program developed by the authors. The book is rich with examples of coding schemes and different approaches to sequential analysis, including both statistical and graphical means.

Download or read book Models based Practice in Physical Education written by Ashley Casey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common structure can be applied to analyse pedagogical models at macro, meso and micro levels of discourse. Having created a language through which to talk about pedagogical models and MbP, the book concludes by identifying the conditions - some existing and some aspirational - under which MbP can prosper in reforming physical education. An essential read for academics, doctoral and post-graduate students, and pre-service and in-service teachers, Models-based Practice in Physical Education is a vital point of reference for anyone who is interested in pedagogical models and wants to embrace this potential future of physical education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facilitating and responding to the emergence of grass-root needs at the local level is also essential. Support to entrepreneurs and local communities should be primarily provided in matching grant forms to facilitate the mobilization of local resources and ownership. It is of primary importance to pay the greatest attention to country specificities, not only in terms of development level, size, and specialization, but also in terms of administrative and cultural traditions. At the global level, major issues need also to be considered and dealt with by appropriate incentives and regulations: the role of foreign direct investment in developing countries' technological development, conditions of technologies' patenting and licensing, the North-South research asymmetry, and brain drain trends.

Download or read book Hidden Hunger written by H.K. Biesalski and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nos embarcamos en esta segunda parte de la obra MODELOS ACTUALES DE INICIACIÓN DEPORTIVA con dos grandes metas en mente, por un lado, realizar una actualización de los modelos de enseñanza abordados en el primer volumen, -dedicado a los juegos deportivos de invasión-, incluyendo los resultados de las últimas investigaciones publicadas y las formas de hibridación más relevantes hasta la fecha. Por otro lado, aproximarnos a los entresijos de una nueva categoría táctica: LOS JUEGOS DEPORTIVOS DE CANCHA DIVIDIDA, sugiriendo nuevas maneras de implementar su enseñanza en el marco de la Educación Física. Para ello, hemos reunido a un plantel de profesionales entusiastas, comprometidos y preocupados por indagar sobre esta temática, profesores de diversos niveles educativos con los que hemos tenido el placer de compartir cursos de especialización, tribunales de tesis, trabajos de investigación y coautoría en publicaciones de índole diversa. En esta obra nuevamente hemos tratado de compensar teoría y práctica, para lo que se han desarrollado tanto los rudimentos teóricos como los aspectos prácticos y didácticos, aterrizando en seis unidades didácticas específicas en las que los autores han aplicado los Modelos Comprensivo, de Educación Deportiva y el Aprendizaje Cooperativo, tanto de manera aislada como desde el punto de vista de su hibridación. Las propuestas han sido contrastadas total o parcialmente en diferentes etapas y ciclos educativos. Lo que se pretende es mostrar formas reales de llevar a la práctica los modelos de enseñanza desde la perspectiva de profesores-investigadores reflexivos, que tratan de superar los particulares sinsabores cotidianos. En manos del lector queda el reto de avanzar en estas unidades, adaptarlas y mejorarlas. Llegar a dominar cualquiera de estos modelos requiere bastante tiempo (posiblemente más de uno o dos cursos escolares), pero el esfuerzo requerido para ese cambio metodológico será sobradamente recompensado. Este es el verdadero motivo que nos ha impulsado a divulgar las experiencias en las que venimos trabajando: la creencia de que perfeccionando los modelos propuestos y adaptándolos a las circunstancias educativas personales, es posible mejorar la práctica docente, favorecer el aprendizaje de los escolares y, en definitiva, ofrecer una iniciación deportiva escolar de mayor calidad y calado.

Download or read book Mixed Methods Research in the Movement Sciences written by Oleguer Camerino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed methods research techniques, combining both quantitative and qualitative elements, have become well established throughout the social, behavioural and natural sciences. This is the first book to focus on the application of mixed methods research in the movement sciences, specifically in sport, physical education and dance. Researchers and practitioners in each of these fields are concerned with the study of habitual behaviour in naturalistic contexts, and of the concurrent and sequential nature of events and states, precisely the kind of work that multi-method research design can help illuminate. The book is arranged into four sections. The first provides a thorough overview of mixed methods procedures and research design, and summarizes their applicability to the movement sciences. The remaining sections then offer detailed case studies of mixed methods research in team and individual sports (analyzing hidden patterns of play and optimising technique); kinesics and dance (analyzing motor skills behaviour in childhood, and the complexity of motor responses in dance); and physical education (detecting interaction patterns in group situations, and optimizing non-verbal communication by teachers and sports coaches). Mixed Methods Research in the Movement Sciences offers an important new tool for researchers and helps to close the gap between the analysis of expert performance and our understanding of the general principles of movement science. It is important reading for any student, researcher or professional with an interest in motor control, sport and dance pedagogy, coaching, performance analysis or decision-making in sport.

Download or read book Ownership Leadership and Transformation written by Thomas Theisohn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and final in a series, this text bridges the conceptual foundations of capacity development and the difficulties and practical realities in the field. It demystifies the process of capacity development to make it more user-friendly. The book has two parts. The first shows how long-standing development dilemmas can be turned into opportunities for capacity development and societal transformation. It proposes a set of principles to guide the search for context-specific approaches as the norm, and based on these default principles the authors explore relevant issues in comprehensible stages through a capacity lens. The second part is a compilation of experiences and lessons from around the world, to showcase promising initiatives and innovative solutions. It forms a casebook of insights and good (rather than best) practices on how development stakeholders can turn development dilemmas into opportunities tailored to the needs of their societies.

Download or read book Instructional Models in Physical Education written by Michael Metzler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensures that physical educators are fully armed with a comprehensive plan for incorporating instructional models in their teaching! Instructional Models for Physical Education has two primary goals for its readers. The first is to familiarize them with the notion of model-based instruction for physical education, including the components and dimensions that determine a model's pattern of teaching and how to select the most effective model for student learning in a particular unit. The second goal is to describe each of the instructional models in such a way to give readers enough information to use any of the models with confidence and good results. The book includes everything readers will need for planning, implementing, and assessing when teaching with instructional models. It will help readers incorporate research-based practices in their lessons, adapt activities to include students of varying abilities, and teach to standards. Models tied to NASPE standards! The author has revised the third edition to show how using the instructional models can help teachers meet specific NASPE standards. The book demonstrates the connection of NASPE standards with the models and clarifies that connection for students. In addition, a table in each of the model chapters shows explicitly how the model aligns with NASPE standards.
