Strength And Conditioning

Although rugby union as a sport is well established, the strength and conditioning practices of high school level players are not well known. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to examine the current strength and conditioning practices that coaches implement at South African high school level rugby. A secondary purpose was to compare practices between high schools of different socio-economic status in South Africa. An online survey or in person interview (depending on the school) was conducted and 43 responses were received: from 28 coaches at schools among the top 100 rugby schools in South Africa for 2016 and from 15 coaches at no-fee public schools in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Most coaches (72%) performed some form of physical testing, with the most common parameter tested being ‘speed’. The most common strength and conditioning practices utilised included flexibility (stretching), speed (free sprinting), agility (cone drills), plyometric (box drills) and resistance (weight lifting) training. Unlike the no-fee schools, the top 100 rugby schools implemented conditioning practices similar to best-known international practices. Furthermore, no-fee school coaches did not have the qualifications necessary to administer the correct training techniques. Education and upskilling on the best strength and conditioning practices for school level coaches need to be improved, particularly in less privileged schools. Such improvement is crucial to the transformation goals set out by the South African Rugby Union, which would benefit from player development in lower socio-economic schools.

Student Reflections

From solid, hands on experience with the challenges of intercultural differences to a significantly chan­ged personal mindset and a new perception of their individual education programmes, a student survey provides new evidence of the advantages of expe­riential learning. Experiential learning encompas­ses a variety of out-of-classroom-activities including project based learning, internships, service learning, participation in the research and other student crea­tive work experiences. Kolb’s experiential learning theory (KELT) is comprised of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The aim - to reveal benefits of experiential learning based on student participation in the project “Villages on Move Baltic” (VOMB) tour. Material and methods. Experiential learning and experience reflection hold a significant role as an educational methodology, and it is a shared value to prepare students for the challenges in a changing world by developing professionals who can think critically and reflectively. As mandatory assignment during the tour, the student collective formulated se­ven questions, and an analysis of the students’ indi­vidual replies to and reflections on these questions forms the basis of this article. Qualitative research – more specifically a content analysis – was used in this study, that was conduc­ted based upon the replies from participating stu­dents from Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Denmark (N=17). Except for three from high school level, students re­presented BA-programmes within health care, phy­siotherapy, social work, community pedagogy, and innovation & entrepreneurship. Results. Students expressed their positive attitude on the participation in the Baltic Tour. Students‘ ref­lections highlighted various scenarios of future life and career. The learning potential of the Baltic Tour can be described in three areas. Students, regardless of nationality, expressed a) cohesion of the theory and practice; b) knowledge application in a professional perspective; c) intercultural and international expe­rience. Student reflections revealed that participation in the Baltic Tour influenced personal growth, social competencies development and improvement of co­gnitive skills. Student reflections on the Baltic Tour itself included appointing more attention to informal communication during the tour and more information and involvement before. In addition, more activities in cross-nation groups and the use of creative team building tools were recommended. Students’ view to criteria for the quality of VOMB-ideas mentioned “Large number of participants“, “Attractive types of physical activities”, “Involving people from all so­cial groups“ and “Ecological approach and security during events“. Conclusions. Students’ survey based on the project “Villages on Move Baltic” tour highlighted the bene­fits of participation to personal abilities, key compe­tencies and professional skills improvement.

This study is an examination of string access in American public schools; the researcher sought to determine the actual number of school districts in each state that offered string instruction and at which grade levels. Specific questions posed were (a) What is the current relationship between access to string instruction and school-district location, size, and socioeconomic level? (b) How does access vary by school type—elementary, middle, high school? (c) How does access vary in different regions of the country? Data were obtained for each of the 14,183 school districts listed in the 1994-1995 Market Data Retrieval School Directories. A total of 2,268 districts (15.99%) were identified that offered string instruction. Of these, it was found that 71.42% (N = 1,620) offered string instruction at the elementary school level, 78.52% (N = 1,781) at the middle school level, and 80.15%) (N = 1,818) at the high school level. The findings also indicated that string instruction was offered most often in average-socioeconomic-level, medium-sized, urban districts in the Eastern, North Central, and Northwest Music Educators National Conference divisions, and in average-socioeconomic-level, large, metropolitan districts in the Southern, Southwestern, and Western divisions. String instruction was offered least often in low-socioeconomic-level school districts (N = 100) regardless of location or size.

Di pedesaan, biasanya sekolah negeri begitu banyak diminati karena biaya pendidikan yang relatif terjangkau. Namun pada kenyataan, banyak orang tua memilih sekolah swasta untuk mendapatkan fasilitas belajar lebih nyaman baik dari sekolah maupun dari pengajarnya. Unsur-unsur pendidikan menjadi penentu keberhasilan proses peningkatan mutu pendidikan dalam pencapaian tujuan pendidikan di satuan pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi pembagian cluster terkait jumlah sekolah negeri dan swasta tingkat sekolah menengah atas tiap provinsi di Indonesia dengan menerapkan model probabilitas Bernoulli. Berdasarkan analisis yang sudah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa persebaran cluster menggunakan model probabilitas Bernoulli pada jumlah sekolah negeri tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 5 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian Indonesia wilayah tengah dan timur. Sedangkan pada jumlah sekolah swasta tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 6 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian pulau jawa. Provinsi-provinsi yang masuk ke wilayah cluster tersebut berarti memiliki karakteristik yang mirip yang dimilikinya sehingga mengelompok kedalam satu kelompok yang sama. In rural areas, public schools are usually in great demand because of the relatively affordable costs of education. But in fact, many parents choose private schools to get more comfortable learning facilities from both the school and the teachers. The elements of education are the determinants of the success of the process of improving the quality of education in achieving educational goals in educational units. This study aims to detect the division of clusters related to the number of public and private high school level schools in each province in Indonesia by applying the Bernoulli probability model. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the distribution of clusters using the Bernoulli probability model is that the number of senior high school public schools in Indonesia has 5 clusters and many are scattered in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Meanwhile, the number of high school private schools in Indonesia has 6 clusters and many are scattered in parts of the island of Java. Provinces that are included in the cluster area mean that they have similar characteristics so that they are grouped into the same group.

Aim. In this study, the challenges encountered during the introduction of religious education in Turkey are examined within the scope of their intended solutions. Methods. In this study, challenges encountered in the implementation of religious education in Turkey are being discussed in a descriptive manner. Literature scanning and interpretation methods, one of the qualitative research methods, were used in the study.  Results. Religious education in Turkey is both maintained within the formal education system and the non-formal education system. Formal education is provided in public schools run by the Ministry of National Education [MNE]. Primary, secondary and high school education is compulsory for all students. There are Imam Hatip Schools that were opened to provide religious education at secondary and high school level. There are also two hours of compulsory religious education per week in other schools. Non-formal religious education is provided only by the Presidency of Religious Affairs [PRA]. This training is given to people of all ages. For this purpose, the PRA opens several courses. Conclusions. In this study, challenges encountered related to religious education in Turkey are being discussed in two main areas: Challenges in formal education are examined under seven subtitles. Challenges in non-formal education are examined under eight subtitles. Originality. This study is an original study in terms of addressing the challenges in formal and non-formal religious education together. In addition, the possibility of making a collective examination of challenges related to religious education in Turkey would be valuable to the reader.

This research aimed to determine whether implementation of virtual technology or implementation of physical materials in a learning environment is more efficient in understanding physics concepts and developing positive attitudes at the high school level. The theory that framed this study is the model of learning as dynamic transfer. Participants were 96 ninth grade students (n = 96) distributed randomly to the virtual or physical group. Inquiry-based instruction continued during teaching of kinematics and dynamics, which lasted for eight weeks for both groups. Data from the Force and Motion Achievement Instrument (FMAI), student worksheets, the Attitude Towards Physics Scale (APCS), and anecdotal observations were collected. This study concluded that the use of physical and virtual manipulatives in inquiry-based instruction had the same effect on students’ conceptual and procedural knowledge, as well as their attitudes towards physics. However, students who dealt with physical experimentation had lower learning than their peers who experienced virtual experimentation due to measurement errors made by students. Furthermore, physical investigations left students with some irrelevant knowledge. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that implementing virtual manipulatives is more advantageous for learning in some conditions. The final conclusion is that attitude and learning may be developed in a parallel manner.
