This study examined student experiences participating in a peer-led three-day wilderness canoe excursion in Northern Ontario, Canada. This program is a mandatory outdoor experience program (MOEP) for third-year students and is the final course in a progressive series of outdoor experiences offered at the beginning of the first, second, and third…

Acute athletic performance differences may ultimately decide what teams or individuals are successful in competition. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a novel acupressure modality in comparison to a dynamic warm-up and contrast training on acute athletic performance in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)…

Mathematics teachers, are always making and remaking their curricula to better serve the needs of their students. Sometimes, these revisions happen while they are teaching a new task. At other times, as they grow in their thinking, they become aware that some of the tasks they've used for years--and might even name as favorites for their potential…

Undoubtedly, the world has seen drastic changes after the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic has also solidified the importance of children's immunity, health, and physical activity (PA). Regular PA is considered an investment for the future, which will increase the quality of life of all people. Specific to COVID-19, evidence suggests that PA…

The cultural workforce has previously been described as pre-dominantly white, male and middle-class. Internships are often seen as a solution as they would function as a 'democratising path to launch careers'. Nevertheless, previous research has also suggested that there is no smooth path from an internship to paid work for anyone, and even less…

Here, we present a laboratory activity in which the students work on an analysis of a questioned document that was written with one out of five possible pens. As a forensics study, the activity applied chemistry and analytical chemistry tools to solve the case. The students were able to apply polarity and solubility concepts to select and discard…

During a five-week research study, a kindergarten class of 14 five- and six-year-old children learned to sing and play soprano ukuleles. The study had a dual purpose: to teach the children foundational music skills, and to teach them to read lyrics at the emergent reader level. Csikszentmihalyi (2009) cites one of the pitfalls of traditional music…

With the release of artificial intelligence image-generation platforms to the broader public in 2022, there is an opportunity to evaluate how image-making practices may change and speculate how graphic design software, such as Photoshop, may evolve. Using a methodology of assemblage, a relational study of Photoshop and Midjourney is gathered to…

Introduction: The transition to college is associated with changes in physical activity. This meta-analysis aims to quantify the effect of interventions on increasing physical activity in healthy university students. Methods: We conducted a literature search (up to 2/3/2020) to identify randomized controlled trials with healthy undergraduate or…

In this paper, we describe an educational activity involving the use of a digital artifact, implemented in a visual programming environment, for mediating the learning of axial symmetry in primary school through algorithmics and computer programming. The educational activity was designed with the aim of bringing out increasingly…

This study reports preschool educators' uses of music in educational settings, as well as challenges faced in incorporating music in the classroom in the U.S. Through a multiple-methods approach, data from two focus groups (N1 = 8, N2 = 6) and a survey (N = 119) are used to gain insight into how frequently preschool educators in the US use various…

Objectives: The objectives were to--determine undergraduate students' "awareness" of active transportation-promoting point-of-choice prompts; explore perceptions of the "impact" of the prompts on students' transportation choices; and obtain "feedback" regarding the suitability of the prompts. Participants: This…

The main purpose of the current study is modifying students' daily drinking water and managing waste water through modelling activities as context and modelling cycle as tool. In this study, 12 students (13-14 years old) from the lower secondary school were participated. These students were participated in two sessions (60 minutes) each week for…

Laboratory courses are an important part of the undergraduate physics curriculum. During physics labs, students can engage in authentic, hands-on experimental practices, which can prepare them for graduate school, research laboratories, and jobs in industry. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2020, colleges and universities across the…

The physical education context is fun yet challenging. There is the potential for teachers to offer a multitude of games and activities for students. Thus, PE teachers should put the students in the best position to learn the content. One method involves PE teachers putting students in small-sided groups during games and activities. The purpose of…
