Levels of Organization01:09

Levels of Organization

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules comprise...
Principle of Equivalence01:18

Principle of Equivalence

According to Albert Einstein (1897-1955), free-falling and feeling weightless are intrinsically linked. If a person were in free-fall under gravity, for example, diving towards the Earth from an airplane, they would feel completely weightless. Similarly, a person descending in a lift may feel partially weightless. Broadly speaking, it is assumed that an object in a uniform gravitational field and an object undergoing constant acceleration in the absence of gravity are under the same...

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:
Rotter's Locus of Control01:14

Rotter's Locus of Control

Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...
Principal Stresses: Problem Solving01:15

Principal Stresses: Problem Solving

When analyzing two planes intersecting at right angles under the influence of shearing, tensile, and compressive stresses, it is essential to identify principal planes, maximum shearing stress, and principal stresses. To find the principal planes, apply a formula that equates them to twice the shearing stress divided by the difference between tensile and compressive stresses.
Functionalism01:11

Functionalism

William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's role as...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Education Curriculum
  • Pedagogical Coherence
  • Student Engagement

Background:

  • Curriculum coherence involves linking educational purposes with student experiences to demonstrate content value.
  • Meaningful student engagement in physical education is crucial for effective learning.
  • This study investigates coherence within an exemplary elementary physical education program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine coherence components in an elementary physical education curriculum.
  • To understand the role of curriculum coherence in student engagement and meaningful participation.
  • To compare student perceptions of value between different curriculum units.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data collected through observations and interviews over 22 weeks.
  • Analysis employed open, axial, and selective coding techniques.
  • Focus on two distinct units: Balls Skills and Scooter City.

Main Results:

  • Students found both the Balls Skills and Scooter City units enjoyable.
  • The Balls Skills unit, while well-executed, was perceived as having value limited to basketball.
  • The Scooter City unit, featuring student choice, showed strong connections to out-of-school activities, enhancing perceived content value.

Conclusions:

  • Curriculum coherence, particularly when linked to lived experiences, significantly enhances perceived content value for students.
  • Theme-based units with student choice, like Scooter City, foster greater connections and relevance.
  • Aligning curriculum with Beane's coherence criteria, especially through real-world connections, improves student engagement in physical education.
