Qian, Yiming; Seisler, Andrea R.; Gilmore, Rick O. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Observers experience complex patterns of visual motion in daily life due to their own movements through space, the movement of objects, and the geometry of surfaces in the visible world. Motion information shapes behavior and brain activity beginning in infancy. And yet most prior behavioral research has focused on how children process only one…

Durden-Myers, Elizabeth J.; Bartle, Gillian; Whitehead, Margaret E.; Dhillon, Karamjeet K. – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2021
The purpose of this article is to explore the interconnectedness between physical literacy, intentionality and the notion of embodied beckoning. We coin the term 'embodied beckoning' to explain our innate transactional relationship and desire as human beings to explore the world through movement, and how the environment also calls us to move. We…

Daniels, Karen – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2021
This paper reports on an analysis of patterns of children's bodily movements in an Early Years classroom. I illustrate two prevalent patterns identified during close observations of children's walking movements as they as they followed their interests while accessing continuous provision in an Early Years setting in England. I termed the patterned…

Zhong, Baichang; Xia, Liying; Su, Siyu – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
One of the aspects of programming that novices often struggle with is the understanding of abstract concepts, such as variables, loops, expressions, and especially Boolean operations. This paper aims to explore the effects of programming tools with different degrees of embodiment on learning Boolean operations in elementary school. To this end, 67…

Pennington, Colin; Putman, Rebecca S.; Munsey, Beck A. – Journal of Learning Spaces, 2022
The concept of 'flexible seating' has emerged as a possibility to meeting the goals of an active learning classroom. Recent scholarship has suggested that numerous student learning predictors are enhanced when interacting with flexible seating. This study aims to fill a gap in the literature by investigating the effects of flexible seating from a…

Florian, Aurelia-Daniela; Florian, Gabriel; Trocaru, Sorin – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2022
In this paper is presented a pilot study for the investigation of the relevant factors within some experimental works carried out by students, after going through the learning unit "Movement and rest", which can be found in the chapter "Principles and laws in classical mechanics", from the physics curriculum for the ninth grade…

Luchembe, Dennis; Shumba, Overson – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Research has found circular and rotational motion to be a challenging topic for undergraduate physics students. This article reports on Introductory Physics students' learning of concepts and quantitative principles in circular and rotational motion. It involves a teaching strategy that uses hands-on practical work, PhET simulations and a focus on…

Ingulfsvann, Laura Suominen; Moe, Vegard Fusche; Engelsrud, Gunn – Sport, Education and Society, 2022
Researchers, politicians, physical educators, and children -- all advocate the significance of joy of movement. Children desire movement because they find it joyful and meaningful, while politicians and physical educators are often interested in the associations between joy of movement and participation in physical activity. Researchers have…

Larsson, Håkan; Nyberg, Gunn; Barker, Dean – European Physical Education Review, 2022
Movement learning has become a prominent issue in recent sport pedagogy research, including a particular concern about the new perspectives of movement learning. The turn towards new perspectives is partly spurred by discontent with the conventional perspectives of movement learning. The purpose of the article is to explore a journey into the…

Weisberg, Alanna; Suk Lee, Hyun; Fung, Tak; Katz, Larry – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
The overhand throw is a complex whole-body motor skill that is fundamental to many sports and activities. When throwing properly, the momentum generated to complete the movement begins in the lower body and transfers through the trunk to the throwing arm. This proof-of-concept study's primary purpose was to evaluate the impact of the nonthrowing…

Muhammed Said Akar; Sema Altun Yalçin; Pasa Yalçin; Meryem Özturan Sagirli – European Journal of Physics Education, 2022
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of the Context-based Instruction Applications, prepared using verbal problems with real-life content and scenarios, on the level of pre-service teachers' learning areas of "heat and temperature" and "movement and force" and their level of creating contexts in daily life. The…

Seref Can Esmer; Erim Kizildere; Tilbe Göksun – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2024
Sound symbolism, the iconic link between speech sounds and meanings, helps children's verb learning. In sound symbolically rich languages such as Turkish, hearing sound symbolic words might facilitate early verb learning and later language-specific expressions of motion events, by providing an easier way to map verbs onto events. These links could…

Meng-Lin Liao; Chi-Chuan Yeh; June-Horng Lue; Ming-Fong Chang – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
It can be difficult for some students to learn three-dimensional anatomical structure concepts. While virtual reality (VR) systems have been reported as helpful for learning, there has been scarce research on either VR teaching strategies or the influence of visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) in the context of large anatomy classes (i.e.,…

Lee, Hanna – Texas Music Education Research, 2019
The purpose of this study is to examine selected perceptual measurements of the effects of four specified singer gestures on male collegiate singers' (N = 27) performance on the [u] vowel. Two of these singer gestures involved inactive stationary gestures and two other gestures involved active gestures. In addition to inactive and active gestures,…

Alameh, Adel – Physics Teacher, 2019
The sensation of weightlessness is common to an astronaut in a spaceship orbiting Earth and to a person aboard a freely falling elevator. This paper presents a detailed treatment of this commonality by showing that a spaceship orbiting Earth is in permanent free fall toward the planet, appropriate for use in the introductory classroom.
