Yi Zhang; Yudong Tao; Mei-Ling Shyu; Lynn K. Perry; Prem R. Warde; Daniel S. Messinger; Chaoming Song – Grantee Submission, 2022
Current models of COVID-19 transmission predict infection from reported or assumed interactions. Here we leverage high-resolution observations of interaction to simulate infectious processes. Ultra- Wide Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems were employed to track the real-time physical movements and directional orientation of children and…

Datsenko, I.; Lozovenko, O.; Minaiev, Yu; Zadoian, M. – Physics Education, 2019
The purpose of this publication is to bring attention to some physics problems whose answers seem to be paradoxical and, at first glance, do not agree with a limiting case check. Solving a problem on the motion of a system consisting of two masses and a spring, it is natural to examine the answer by considering a case when a spring constant is…

Lei, Xuehui; Mou, Weimin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
It is a prevailing theoretical claim that path integration is the primary means of developing global spatial representations. However, this claim is at odds with reported difficulty to develop global spatial representations of a multiscale environment using path integration. The current study tested a new hypothesis that locally similar but…

Nicoletta Cappello; Eeva Anttila; Dolors Cañabate – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2024
The present article explores how "movement-based performing arts" lessons focusing on bodily imagination may expand secondary school pupils' learning experiences. The study centers on the learning experiences and emotions of 28 participants described through art-based action research and the lens of interpretive inquiry. The results of…

Sinethemba Mdleleni; Kenneth Mlungisi Ngcoza – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2025
Many learners seem to struggle to grasp the concepts of forces and Newton's law of motion, possibly owing to decontextualised teaching pedagogies used in science classrooms. This study investigates Grade 11 Physical Sciences teachers' perspectives in South Africa on integrating Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to improve learners' understanding of…

Rowe, Hannah P.; Stipancic, Kaila L.; Lammert, Adam C.; Green, Jordan R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study investigated the criterion (analytical and clinical) and construct (divergent) validity of a novel, acoustic-based framework composed of five key components of motor control: Coordination, Consistency, Speed, Precision, and Rate. Method: Acoustic and kinematic analyses were performed on audio recordings from 22 subjects with…

Lei, Xuehui; Mou, Weimin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
This study examined functions of self-motion and visual cues in updating people's actual headings in multiscale spaces. In an immersive virtual environment, the participants learned objects' locations inside two misaligned rectangular rooms by locomoting within and between the rooms. In each testing trial, the participants locomoted to adopt an…

Maclean, Jordan – Studies in Continuing Education, 2021
Sport coaches continue to coach without reference to a conceptualisation of coaching. Indeed, coaching research has been caught in a chasm between process and practice conceptualisations, further widening the application of theory to practice. And coaches are often the protagonists in both of these accounts. Yet, as we will see, this is…

Kaps, Andreas; Splith, Tobias; Stallmach, Frank – Physics Teacher, 2021
Implementing smartphones with their internal sensors into physics experiments represents a modern, attractive, and authentic approach to improve students' conceptual understanding of physics. In such experiments, smartphones often serve as objects with physical properties and as digital measurement devices to record, display, and analyze…

Loos, Cornelia; Napoli, Donna Jo – Cognitive Science, 2021
Echo phonology was originally proposed to account for obligatory coordination of manual and mouth articulations observed in several sign languages. However, previous research into the phenomenon lacks clear criteria for which components of movement can or must be copied when the articulators are so different. Nor is there discussion of which…

Persson, Emil; Andersson, Marcus; Blomqvist, Sven – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: This study examined the physiological sport-specific demands (total distance, mean velocity, effective game time, and time in five velocity zones) in elite bandy players of offensive and defensive playing positions. Method: Data were collected with 10 Hz GPS-units in the Swedish Elite League during the season 2015/16. Ten male elite bandy…

Sliško, Josip; Topalovic, Tatjana Markovic; Božic, Mirjana – Physics Teacher, 2021
The question from the title is raised because in almost all introductory physics courses/textbooks the atmospheric pressure has been attributed to the weight of the column of air from a given level in the atmosphere up to its top. "Air is pressing on air." However the same textbooks, in the chapter on the kinetic theory of gases, tell…

Gróf, Andrea – Physics Teacher, 2021
Owing to the presence of the Coriolis effect, the rotation of Earth has a multitude of surprising consequences that make the mechanics of the atmosphere or the oceans different from that of a fluid in a container. Since the Coriolis effect also captures the imagination of screenwriters, contributing to the continual exposure of students to bogus…

Çoban, A.; Erol, M. – Physics Teacher, 2022
Ever increasing technological progress opens novel opportunities concerning educational activities, and the ability to use the technology effectively is one of the 21st century's most demanding skills. The Partnership Forum for 21st-Century Skills (P21) states that no organization can achieve satisfying results without using technology and…

Hitier, Mathilde; González-Martín, Alejandro S. – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2022
Of the many disciplines that rely on calculus, physics is among those with the strongest connections to this branch of mathematics. For instance, the derivative--one of the key notions of calculus--is used to describe velocity and acceleration, which play a central role in mechanics. In post-secondary education, in particular at the college level,…
