Longitudinal Research

13.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

343
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Long-term Potentiation

58.8K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Educational Assessment
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Adaptable assessment is crucial but under-researched in educational contexts.
  • Meta-assessment procedures offer a framework for evaluating and improving assessment practices.
  • Real-world application of meta-assessment in sports training is novel.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore meta-assessment processes in a practical sports learning and training setting.
  • To investigate the implementation, adaptation, barriers, and opportunities of assessment procedures.
  • To analyze how meta-assessment influences pedagogical decision-making and individualized planning.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial with 24 female minivolleyball players over one season.
  • Experimental group: daily planning changes; Contrast group: monthly planning changes.
  • Data collection via Reflexive Diary, Field Notes, and weekly Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) assessments.
  • Iterative adaptation of GPAI variables, categories, and criteria monthly based on group evolution.

Main Results:

  • The meta-assessment process resulted in five distinct versions of the GPAI, reflecting evolving player needs.
  • This iterative approach demonstrated adaptability and responsiveness in assessment design.
  • Meta-assessment informed flexible, individualized planning, aligning pedagogical decisions with learning insights.

Conclusions:

  • Meta-assessment is a novel and effective approach in real-world sports settings.
  • Dynamic, unstandardized assessment can better meet the specific needs of teams and players compared to standardized methods.
  • This process highlights the value of context-responsive assessment for optimizing athlete development.
