Book Synopsis Accessing the General Physical Education Curriculum for Students with Sensory Deficits by : Roseanna Davidson
Download or read book Accessing the General Physical Education Curriculum for Students with Sensory Deficits written by Roseanna Davidson and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students in a regular physical education program typically learn skills through observation and practice. Teachers and specialists working with students who are sensory impaired with multiple disabilities face unique challenges. Because such students make up a small percentage of the population, physical education texts on adaptation, instructional strategies and activities for groups give only minimal information about working with them. This new book explores the issues of the physical education curricula for sensory handicapped children. Typically, these curricula are based on old techniques that have been used since time immemorial. Rather than examine how teachers utilise obsolete curricula, this important book examines how they effect the students.
Book Synopsis Early Childhood Education Redefined by : Pat Preedy
Download or read book Early Childhood Education Redefined written by Pat Preedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probing the shortcomings of contemporary early years provision, whilst offering practical and informed solutions, Early Childhood Education Redefined at once celebrates the progress made in this field since the publication of the ‘Start Right Report’ (1994), whilst also calling for further changes to ensure that all children are able to ‘start right’, to become effective, independent learners. Developing and emphasising the importance of concepts which have become overlooked within modern educational policy and practice, yet which remain key to our children’s development, this book considers how elements such as attachment and love; movement and exercise; and language and talk may be better integrated into early years practice via the three main vectors of parenting, the curriculum, and pedagogy. From a revised curriculum from birth to seven renamed Key Stage 1, to a greater emphasis on formative assessment, and the promotion of pedagogies including purposeful play, planning in the moment and attachment theory, chapters build on the principles set out in the ‘Start Right Report’ and take into consideration the research and reflection developed over the last quarter of a decade. Reopening a vital debate and challenging governments, education providers, parents and professionals to re-define what young children need to grow, develop and learn in our contemporary society, this timely response to the ‘Start Right Report’ is essential reading for all those involved in early years research, education and care.

Book Synopsis Principles of Assessment and Outcome Measurement for Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists by : Alison Laver Fawcett
Download or read book Principles of Assessment and Outcome Measurement for Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists written by Alison Laver Fawcett and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook on assessment and outcome measurement is written for both occupational therapy and physiotherapy students and qualified therapists. It begins by defining what is meant by assessment, outcome, evaluation and measurement and discussing the complexity of therapy assessment and measurement, including the challenge of measuring human behaviour and the impact of factors such as task demand and context, including the environment. Methods of data collection (e.g. observation, interview, standardised testing) and sources (e.g. self-report, proxy) for collecting information about clients are then reviewed, and the main purposes of assessment (e.g. descriptive, evaluative, predictive, discriminative) presented. The book then addresses the topics of standardisation, levels of measurement, reliability, validity and clinical utility. There is a chapter describing and applying models for categorizing levels of function to aid assessment and measurement. The concept of clinical reasoning and reflective practice is then explored. Application of principles is supported through detailed case studies and worksheets and the criteria for test critique and guidelines for choosing a particular assessment approach are discussed.

Book Synopsis Water Law, Policy and Economics in Italy by : Paolo Turrini
Download or read book Water Law, Policy and Economics in Italy written by Paolo Turrini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the most important water-related issues that centre on Italy, analysed from several disciplinary perspectives – such as hydrology, economics, law, sociology, environmental sciences and policy studies – in order to promote full understanding of the challenges the country is facing and the ways it could best tackle them. Despite the misconception that Italy is a water-scarce country, is in fact quite rich in water resources. Such resources, however, are unevenly distributed over the Italian territory. Italy’s northern regions rely on quite an abundant quantity of freshwater, whereas in the southern area water endowment is limited. Moreover, climatic differences between North and South contribute to widen the divide. This disparity has notable consequences of socio-economic character, some of which, in turn, feed back into the environmental conditions of Italian regions: pollution, floods, landslides and droughts are among the problems affecting the country. There are numerous features of water use and consumption that distinguish Italy from other comparable countries, such as the significant role played by agriculture (a water-intensive activity), a lead position in the consumption of bottled water, lower-than-average prices of water and a far-from-optimal efficiency of waterworks. All such aspects, and many others, make Italy an essential case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NARAASHANS Motor Ability Test Manual By Author Syed Tariq Murtaza, Ph.D. A basic responsibility of professional physical educators has been the evaluation of the physical status of population especially students. Measurement and evaluation are necessary in order to determine one's motor fitness proficiency and as a means of determining if physical education programs are adequately fulfilling established goals and objectives. Tests and measurements in the field of physical education are comparatively recent outgrowth of the general testing movements (Achenbach 1992; Berks 2003; Barnett & Peter 2004). Beginning late in the 19th century as strength tests, tests of track and field and anthropometric measurements, they have increased in number and completeness with amazing rapidity.
