Abstract

This study investigated the use of recommended practices in university-based experiential learning associated with adapted physical activity and education (APA/E) undergraduate courses. Participants (N = 165) were instructors of APA/E courses with an experiential-learning component and/or professionals involved in APA/E experiential-learning programs at their university. Participants completed an online questionnaire designed to describe program characteristics and evaluate the use of two sets of practices, including those recommended for involving students and people with disabilities. Findings highlight low proportions of the use of practices recommended for people with disabilities and indicate that significantly more practices recommended for students were implemented (Z = -10.45, p < .001). Findings from this study have several implications for evaluation and intervention in APA/E experiential learning, such as including the disability community in planning and designing programming to benefit both students and people with disabilities. Instructors should aim to increase their implementation of practices recommended for involving people with disabilities.

评估适应性体育活动/教育体验式学习计划中推荐实践的使用情况。

本研究调查了与适应性体育活动和教育（APA/E）本科课程相关的大学体验式学习中推荐实践的使用情况。参与者（N = 165）是其所在大学具有体验式学习内容的 APA/E 课程的教师和/或参与 APA/E 体验式学习项目的专业人员。参与者完成了一份在线调查问卷，该问卷旨在描述课程特点并评估两套实践方法的使用情况，包括建议学生和残障人士参与的实践方法。研究结果表明，为残障人士推荐的实践使用比例较低，而为学生推荐的实践实施比例明显较高（Z = -10.45，p < .001）。这项研究的结果对全美残障人士教育协会（APA/E）体验式学习的评估和干预有几方面的影响，比如让残障社区参与规划和设计方案，使学生和残障人士都能受益。指导者应致力于加强实施建议的让残疾人参与的做法。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
