This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Clinical experiences are integral to the education process in many professions. Professional socialization is one area of students' development enhanced by clinical experience. Professional socialization includes learning in the affective domain by experiencing moral, ethical and legal practice as well as developing confidence in students' clinical practice. This study examined the role of clinical experience for professional socialization in Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) accredited athletic training education programs. This was done by examining entry-level athletic trainers' perceptions of the importance of four common clinical experiences in the development of selected affective domain educational competencies. These experiences were peer practice, approved clinical instructor (ACI) instruction, practice coverage and game coverage. The affective domain competencies were chosen because they included aspects of professional socialization such as role identity and moral ethical and legal practice of athletic training. A quantitative, researcher developed, web based survey was designed and used to collect perception data from newly certified athletic trainers who had graduated from a CAAHEP accredited athletic training education program. While all four common clinical experiences were reported as important to subject mastery of the competencies, ACI instruction and practice coverage were reported to be more important than both peer practice and game coverage. These results are important to athletic training educators as they try to develop the best possible combination of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience to better prepare future generations of confident and successful practicing athletic trainers."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socialization is a complex process which has a profound effect on how we experience teaching and learning. The study of teachers’ lives and careers through the lens of occupational socialization theory has a rich history in physical education. However, as the social and political climates surrounding education have changed, so have the experiences of teachers. This book pushes beyond traditional perspectives to explore alternative and innovative approaches to socialization. Written by a team of leading international physical education scholars, this is the first edited collection of scholarship on teacher socialization to be published in more than two decades. Divided into five parts, the book provides a review of current knowledge on teacher socialization in school settings, as well as suggestions for different approaches to understanding teacher socialization and recommendations for future directions for studying teachers’ lives and careers. A testament to what is known and what still needs to be learned about the lived experiences of physical educators, Teacher Socialization in Physical Education: New Perspectives provides valuable insights for all physical education students, teachers, and instructors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Clinical Proficiency in Athletic Training, A modular approach, 4th edition, presents a modular approach consisting of three levels and 147 modules that guide students in an athletic training program through educational competencies. It does not teach skills, but rather organizes them into a system for progressive development and assessment. Emphasizing the clinical learning process, experiences, and education, this edition, which was previously titled Assessing Clinical Proficiencies in Athletic Training, contains 27 new modules; three new groups of modules on developing clinical skills, the body, injury and illness pathology, exercise and disease, the body's response to injury, and professional development; and a new module on foundational behaviors of professional practice, added to all three levels. It integrates the 2006 National Athletic Trainers' Association Athletic Training Educational Competencies.

Book excerpt: Athletic trainers work in clinical settings such as secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports, hospitals, and other healthcare environments. However, with the rapid expansion of athletic training education programs (ATEP) over the years, another role for the athletic trainer has developed, the athletic trainer educator. Consequently, it is currently becoming increasingly apparent that athletic trainers must also be equipped with the knowledge and expertise to teach, mentor, and train the future generations of certified athletic trainers within the classroom. Recently, researchers (Hertel et al., 2001; Craig, 2006; Rich, 2009) have argued that athletic training instructors lack the necessary pedagogical knowledge to be more effective instructors. However, athletic training education is a unique environment that provides both a wealth of content knowledge and many opportunities for students and professionals to engage in inquiry, action, interaction, mentoring, and reflection. Does the athletic training environment provide informal opportunities for students and instructors to gain pedagogical expertise? To learn more about instructors' preparation for teaching, this dissertation explored athletic training instructors perceived preparedness for teaching in an ATEP. This study used a mixed methods research approach through a self-developed and pre-piloted electronic questionnaire. The approach consisted of collecting and analyzing scalable quantitative and qualitative data as well as written narrative qualitative responses from 364 participants currently teaching within an ATEP. In addition, quantitative data was collected from ATEP program directors regarding their perceptions of pedagogy on instructor preparation and its place within athletic training (AT) education. Through the study's findings, it became evident that instructors' perceived preparedness for teaching is explained by several theories of learning, such as the mentor/protege model of learning, experiential learning theory, and social learning theory. Demonstrated by their actions, attitudes, and beliefs, participants placed high value on pedagogy, its importance on effective teaching, and its place within AT education. Furthermore, from within athletic training's unique clinical field and classroom settings, participants demonstrated how each environment provided them with their perceived foundations for teaching within an ATEP. Despite these findings, formal pedagogical preparation and its place within athletic training curricula needs further exploration. -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: As athletic training education continues its transition to a professional master's degree, it is essential to understand how professional master's athletic training students' professional experiences influence their perceptions of athletic training and their career intentions after graduation. Objective: 1) To examine second-year professional master's athletic training students' perceptions of athletic training and identify the factors that influenced their perceptions. 2) To examine the career intentions of second-year professional master's athletic training students and identify the factors that influenced their intentions. Design: Convergent mixed-methods. Setting: Online surveys and individual phone interviews. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 80 second-year professional master's students who graduated in 2019 completed the online survey. Ten survey respondents elected to participate in the follow-up phone interviews. Data Collection and Analysis: We created an online survey and semi-structured interview guide to answer the research questions. We validated the instruments using a content validity index tool. The data from both methodological approaches were blended. As a result, we displayed our findings in one comprehensive results section. We established trustworthiness through triangulation, member checks, memos, and peer debriefing. Results: Five higher-order themes emerged from the data. 1) Perceptions of the athletic training profession: lack of appreciation and awareness for the profession from others, rewarding profession, and dynamic profession. 2) Perceptions of a career in athletic training: low pay, long hours and inconsistent schedules, and inability to have work-life balance. 3) Factors influencing perceptions: clinical experience, interactions with athletic trainers, interactions with the general public, and interactions with other healthcare professionals. 4) Career progression: short-term career plans, concerns over lack of experience, and long-term career plans. 5) Factors influencing career intentions: clinical experience and mentorship. Conclusions: Second-year professional master's athletic training students developed positive and negative perceptions of the athletic profession and a career in the professional during their professional education experiences. Additionally, their professional education experiences allowed them to develop career paths and career goals after graduation. The factors identified were all key socializing agents to the profession and had a profound impact on how they developed their perceptions of athletic training and career paths. The mentorship they received from their clinical preceptors and faculty members were also influential to the development of their career goals and career intentions after graduation.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The present study assessed the use of effective teacher behaviors in athletic training clinical education. Research involved development and use of: 1) the 20-question Survey of Effective Clinical Educator Behaviors (SECEB) to assess student and instructor perceptions of clinical instructor use of effective teaching behaviors; and 2) the Observational Record of Clinical Educator Behaviors (ORCEB) interval recording instrument to objectively measure instructor's demonstrated behaviors in the clinical setting. The SECEB was distributed to twelve Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)-accredited athletic training education programs in the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) District 3. Subjects (n=186) representing ten of those schools returned usable data. SECEB item statements were grouped into four subcategories of effective teaching behaviors (Information, Evaluation, Critical Thinking, and Physical Presence), and were ranked on a scale from 'Never (1)' to 'Very Often (5)'. While educators rated themselves and their perceived ideal, students evaluated their current and an ideal clinical instructor. Cronbach's alpha for all items showed excellent internal consistency (α=.858). Results found that students (4.56".33) and clinical instructors (4.56".24) had nearly identical perceptions of an ideal instructor's behavior, but that students consistently rated current instructors higher (4.09".52) than the instructors rated themselves (3.93".36). In addition to the survey data, four approved clinical instructors (ACIs) were observed using the ORCEB as they interacted with patients and students for five 30-minute sessions. Inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities as determined by simple correlation of behavior frequencies between two independent coders were r=.964 and r=.974, respectively. The ORCEB was used to assess clinical instructor demonstration of twelve target behaviors. Results indicate that instructors use only 24% of each clinical education session for teaching/learning behaviors; of the remaining time, 32% was devoted to patient care without student interaction, 35% to behaviors unrelated to clinical education, and 9% in downtime when no students or patients were present. Furthermore, student ranking of these instructors based upon their SECEB scores was identical to that created by ORCEB behavior percentages, indicating that students' perceptions of their instructor's behavior are accurate."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Sports science, language: English, abstract: This study aims to determine the causes of stress and burnout among athletic training students and athletic trainers and how these problems affect their professional careers. Besides, the study seeks to establish the level of burnout among athletic training students. Additionally, the study aims to establish the solution for the issues identified and recommends strategies that athletic training programs should implement to mitigate stress and burnout. Role strain, work-family conflict, and professional socialization are the leading cause of stress and burnout among athletic training students. Task incongruence, role conflict, ambiguity, overload, and incompetency were the identified aspects of strain in ATs. The ambiguity in the athletic training profession is connected to insufficient specificity, while role conflict occurs in a situation where an individual is assigned to multiple roles at the same time. In essence, an individual's values and beliefs may not be compatible with professional job demands, causing role incongruence (the situation where description does not align with an individual's personality). Nineteen articles deeply examine the effect of role strain in athletic training students' profession. Work-family conflict is the disturbance emanating from the profession's family responsibilities, impacting their professional accomplishment. Fourteen researchers examined this problem extensively in the reviewed research articles, and it was determined to be a potential cause of burnout among athletic training students. High travel demands and long working hours are the two causes of work-family conflicts identified in the study. Besides, delayed or rescheduled games were determined to contribute to work-family conflict among the athletic trainers. The study found professional socialization and burnout among athletic training students clo

Download or read book Peer assisted Learning written by Keith Topping and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1998-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) involves children in school consciously assisting others to learn, and in so doing learning more effectively themselves. It encompasses peer tutoring, peer modeling, peer education, peer counseling, peer monitoring, and peer assessment, which are differentiated from other more general "co-operative learning" methods. PAL is not diluted or surrogate "teaching"; it complements and supplements (but never replaces) professional teaching--capitalizing on the unique qualities and richness of peer interaction and helping students become empowered democratically to take more responsibility for their own learning. In this book, PAL is presented as a set of dynamic, robust, effective, and flexible approaches to teaching and learning, which can be used in a range of different settings. The chapters provide descriptions of good practice blended with research findings on effectiveness. They describe procedures that can be applied to all areas of the school curriculum, and can be used with learners of all levels of ability, including gifted students, students with disabilities, and second-language learners. Among the distinguished contributors, many are from North America, while others are from Europe and Australia. The applicability of the methods they present is worldwide. Peer-Assisted Learning is designed to be accessible and useful to teachers and to those who employ, train, support, consult with, and evaluate them. Many chapters will be helpful to teachers aiming to replicate in their own school environments the cost-effective procedures described. A practical resources guide is included. This volume will also be of interest to faculty and researchers in the fields of education and psychology, to community educators who want to learn about the implications of Peer Assisted Learning beyond school contexts, and to employers and others involved in post-school training.
