In the collection of research data, the digital literacy scale developed by Ng (2012) and translated into Turkish by Hamutoglu et al.

With an increased influence of modernization such as new learning technologies and virtual learning, educators in the field have been forced to adapt instructional design, course delivery, and realign sport management curriculum with the demands of the present-day sport industry. This paradigm shift has fostered significant growth in sport management degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Leaders of these programs aim to meet the evolving needs of students in the areas of academic preparation and career readiness. However, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that serve marginalized populations have experienced challenges as they strive to maintain robust academic sport management programming, foster student engagement, and prepare students for careers in the sports industry. These challenges are heightened in part due to various institutional disparities experienced by HBCUs. The purpose of this theoretical paper is to examine the impact that the paradigm shift has had on HBCU sport management programs and to discuss the outlook of these programs in lieu of modernization within sport management as both a profession and academic field.","PeriodicalId":165113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Recreation Patterns","volume":"788 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122998370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stokowski, Michael Godfrey","doi":"10.53016/jerp.v3i1.29","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53016/jerp.v3i1.29","url":null,"abstract":"Approximately 9 million college students participate in organized sports, with 460,000 college athletes participating at the collegiate level (e.g., NCAA, NAIA) and the remaining 8.5 million playing club and intramural teams. Nationally, an estimated 1.7 to 3 million sports-related concussions (SRCs) occur per year. Despite the overwhelming number of student-athletes participating in collegiate club sports, literature on SRC education, knowledge and attitudes is limited when looking at collegiate club athletes. The purpose of this study is to explore current concussion education given to collegiate club sports athletes and understand players' concussion knowledge and attitudes. A cross-sectional study design using a modified version of Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey-Student Version (RoCKAS-ST) was emailed to all members within the 33 student-led club sport organizations at a Southeastern university. Seventy-one club athletes from 22 of the club sport organizations responded to the survey. Thirty-two participants (45.1%) reported that they have received at least one sports-related concussion and 39 (54.9%) reported never receiving a SRC. Fifty-five participants (77.5%) reported not receiving a concussion education. Total knowledge was found to have significant differences between participants who received a concussion education and participants who did not (t[69] = 1.135; p = 0.048). No significant differences were found in attitude between collegiate club sport athletes who received a concussion education and players who did not receive a concussion education (t[68] = 0.37; p = 0.700). The study indicated that a majority of collegiate club sport athletes do not receive a concussion education, which impacts their knowledge of concussions. Further research is needed to determine effective concussion prevention education for this population.","PeriodicalId":165113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Recreation Patterns","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130265903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the study, the phenomenology design was used. The data of the research were collected from 337 university students studying at Kırklareli University Faculty of Science and Literature in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted with content analysis technique. According to the findings, university students produced 301 valid and 137 different metaphor images regarding the concept of “sustainability”. These produced metaphor images were then categorized by considering their common features. When the common features of these metaphors were examined, 8 different categories were reached. These; sustainability in the context of continuity, sustainability in the context of need, sustainability in the context of stability/order, sustainability in the context of struggle, sustainability in the context of resource conservation, sustainability in the context of guide, sustainability in the context of innovation and sustainability in the context of value. When the categories of metaphor images created by university students for the concept of \"sustainability\" are examined, it is seen that sustainability is perceived most in the context of continuity. In addition, when the categories reached were evaluated as a whole, it was seen that the perceptions of university students regarding the concept of \"sustainability\" were generally positive.","PeriodicalId":165113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Recreation Patterns","volume":"2 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124266008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Habitual participation in exercise is beneficial to all categories of people, including pregnant women. The pregnancy period is regarded as a period of inactivity, but exercise during pregnancy has significant positive health benefits for the mother and the fetus. Despite the positive gains of regular engagement in exercise, many pregnant women do not participate in exercise. To increase participation of pregnant women in exercise, there is a need for women to understand the positive effects of exercise on women during pregnancy and to know exercise protocols for all the stages of pregnancy and the postpartum period. It is believed that if women are aware of the gains of participation in correct exercise regimen during pregnancy, they will be encouraged to engage in it regularly. Through this study, exercise professionals will be kept abreast of the latest research discussions in this area.","PeriodicalId":165113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Recreation Patterns","volume":"228 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132103975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
