This book was released on 1994 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an aiming apparatus for use in the game of basketball. The aiming apparatus is designed to help improve the shooting accuracy of basketball players by: 1) providing a specific target, 2) presenting true visual basket size and, 3) allowing only shots of the optimal angle of projection to be successful. The subjects used in the study were twelve members of the Eastern Washington University NCAA Division I men's basketball team. The study took place during the second half of the 1993-94 regular college basketball season. The study involved a pre test followed by six weeks of practice on the "Super Shot" training device. A post test was then administered following the six weeks of practice with the training device. The results of the post test were compared to the results of the pre test to determine significance. An independent t test was used to determine if significant differences could be found at the p>.10 level. The Eastern Washington University men's basketball team game statistics were also studied for differences. The statistics from the first fourteen games of the season (pre "training device" practice) were compared to the statistics of the last twelve games of the season during which the "Super Shot" training device was being utilized for shooting practice. This study found positive results in the overall shooting percentages of the pre test and post test scores but did not find significance. Substantial improvement was found in the team's overall three point shooting percentage and the team's overall free throw shooting percentage between the first fourteen games of the season vs. the last twelve games of the season. Further study is recommended utilizing the "Super Shot" shooting apparatus as well as the reliability and validity of the training device and the shooting test administered ("The Ahmann Shooting Test")"--Document.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of an aiming apparatus on female collegiate basketball players' shooting accuracy. The study was conducted with two Division II Women's basketball programs during the 1994-95 season. The experimental and control groups participated in a pre-test, mid-test and post-test to measure shooting accuracy changes over a 16 week period between Dec . 1, 1994 and Feb. 28, 1995. Each test consisted of 65 field goal attempts from 13 designated spots out to and including three point range, along the baseline, at 45 degree angles, and straight out from the basket as well as 20 free throw attempts. The control group did not participate in practice sessions with the device. The practice sessions were designed to examine the effect of immediate transfer by including a set of shots with the device followed by immediate practice on a basket without the device. The results ofthe experimental group's pre-test, mid-test and post-test scores while using the device for 30 practice sessions were compared to the results of the control group's pre-test, mid-test, and post- test scores without the use of the device or practice sessions to determine significance. A Repeated Measures of ANOVA statistical test was used to determine if a significant difference existed between the experimental and control group's pre-test, mid-test and post-test scores. Alpha was chosen at the .05 level. The experimental group improved in all four categories of shooting when comparing their scores with and without the device during the 30 practice sessions. The overall field goal percentage increased from 60.9% to 65.9%, the two point percentage from 74.4% to 77.2%, three point percentage from 39.5% to 48%, and free throw percentage from 76.3% to 78. 1%. Even though the study found positive results in the experimental group's shooting percentages in the four categories, significant difference was not found between the experimental and control group's pre-test, mid-test and post-test scores"--Document.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a specific training device for increasing shooting percentage in the game of basketball. The training device is designed to aid the shooter in dealing with problems of perception, height of release, and optimum angles of projection. The study was conducted during the 1994-95 basketball season with a group of twelve female basketball players from Gonzaga Prep High School. The study involved a pre-test, an 8 week practice and transfer shooting session, and finished with a post test. The results of the post test were compared to the results of the pre-test to determine significance. An independent t test was used to determine if significant differences could be found at the p>.10 level. Also, recorded scores from the practice session utilizing the device and the transfer session not utilizing the device were computed to percentages and studied for differences. The study found positive results in overall shooting percentages of the pre-test and post test scores, however, significance was found only at the 15 foot distance. Although improvement did occur, significance was not found at the free throw, 6 foot, and 3 point distances"--Document.

Download or read book Gamification in Education and Business written by Torsten Reiners and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to applied gamification in the areas of education and business, while also covering pitfalls to avoid and guidelines needed to successfully implement for a project. Using different theoretical backgrounds from various areas including behavioral economics, game theory, and complex adaptive systems, the contributors aim to help readers avoid common problems and difficulties that they could face with poor implementation. The book’s contributors are scholars and academics from the many areas where the key theory of gamification typically comes from. Ultimately, the book’s goal is to help bring together the theories from these different disciplines to the field of practice in education and business. The book is divided into four parts: Theory, Education, Business, and Use Cases. Part I provides a foundation on the theory of gamification and offers insight into some of the outstanding questions that have yet to be addressed. In Part II, the application and value that gamification can bring within the education sector is examined. The book then changes focus in Part III to spotlight the use of gamification within business environments. The topics also cover educational aspects like improved learning outcomes, motivation, and learning retention at the workplace. Finally Part IV concentrates on the applications and use of gamification through a series of case studies and key elements that are used in real situations to drive real results.
