Watson","doi":"10.1080/00336297.2021.1897861","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00336297.2021.1897861","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Thirty-nine years ago, Bain and Poindexter (1981) implored higher educators of kinesiology to develop curricula that prepare students to use what they learn in practical ways. Lay resource material, however, often fails to meet metrics for adequate-to-optimal readability, regardless of who produces them. Research suggests that many people trained in kinesiology are not trained to communicate its content to lay adult audiences. Thus, the purpose of this study was to advance knowledge about this academic-practice-divide in kinesiology concerning plain language communication. Methodology for a critical interpretive synthesis was used to qualitatively synthesize readability research in kinesiology. Twenty-four peer-reviewed research articles met the study inclusion criteria, all published between 1992 and 2020 (M = 2010.1, SD = 8.8). There were 1550 materials studied across the articles. It was typical for these materials to run counter to plain language guidelines (i.e., low readability in one-or-more critical areas). Most materials were unsuitable for adults with basic health literacy or less – about half of the U.S. adult population. Following their presentation of results, the article authors often suggested one of six ways for improving lay material readability. Two major themes emerged from the qualitative synthesis of the articles: (a) how article authors discussed readability issues and what they proposed to be done to fix them, and (b) critiques of the research articles included in this study. The findings of this literature review shine light on the need to use readability research in kinesiology in programs that train people in an area of the discipline.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"6 1","pages":"151 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81517732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EI can be understood most simply as one’s ability to recognize the emotions of themselves and others to help motivate themselves or others, which lends the ability to manage emotions and relationships. Within this lecture, definitions, components, and competencies are presented in an attempt to bolster our human development and our performance in the kinesiology higher education profession. Compared to our intellectual capacities, which are somewhat inherent and difficult to improve upon, EI can be regarded as a set of skills that continue to develop with practice. Thus, an analysis of various practices that may help individuals improve EI abilities is also presented.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"58 1","pages":"105 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86705730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, ethics courses in Kinesiology predominantly draw from Eurocentric philosophies and legal paradigms. In this article, however, the authors propose a new model of ethics that adds a greater emphasis on decolonial praxis. This process of decolonizing Kinesiology ethics requires accounting for colonial legacies in curricula and acknowledging the power relations sustained by White, patriarchal, ableist, capitalist systems. Therefore, the proposed Decolonizing Kinesiology Ethics Model (DKEM) offers six heuristics to improve ethical work in a wide range of health and sport-related careers. They are: (a) social justice; (b) practitioner vulnerability; and (c) relationships in a social-political-historical context, alongside traditional ethical principles of (d) autonomy; (e) beneficence; and (f) non-maleficence.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"23 1","pages":"192 - 208"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78639612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical framework was Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change. The participants were 289 undergraduate students, all women. The research design was a survey method using an online platform. The survey questionnaire was administered to identify motivational readiness (from never to regularly) for exercise and exercise technology use. Descriptive and inferential statistics (analysis of variance and Chi-Square) were used in analyzing the data. Of the 289 women participants, 80 were identified as meeting exercise recommendations, and 27 were regular users (6 months or longer) of exercise technology; of these 27, 23 were also regular exercisers. Chi-square tests identified a strong association between the most motivated group for regular exercise and for regular device use, suggesting that women who regularly used an exercise technology device were significantly more likely to be regularly exercising (Χ 2 (4) = 9.41, p = 0.05.).","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"65 1","pages":"179 - 191"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86406914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More recently, some exercise and sports scientists (ESS) have suggested investigator bias explains the lower proportion of female than male participants in ESS research. Here, I explain volunteer bias warrants consideration in contemporary discussions on female participation in ESS research. I discuss sex differences in willingness to participate in certain research and how this corresponds to sex differences in personality traits and interests. I explain that sex differences in disease prevalence and physical activity participation also likely contribute to sex differences in ESS research participation. I conclude that, moving forward, evidence-based historical interpretations of female participation in ESS research are required, and future research should seek to establish a causal model of ESS research participation that considers both investigator and volunteer bias.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"87 1","pages":"82 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84238407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, there is relatively little in the published research related to recruitment and retention in PETE to guide these efforts. Connections have been made, however, between the recruitment and retention processes and occupational socialization theory. The purpose of this paper was to propose a conceptual framework for coordinating recruitment and retention efforts connected to the phases of occupational socialization theory. PETE faculty members and inservice teachers are identified as key recruitment agents. Implications for preservice teacher education and doctoral education are discussed, along with calls for further empirical research in this area.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"19 1","pages":"63 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82877298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
