This book was released on 2015 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of athletic training students, both with and without self-disclosed hidden disabilities, regarding the educational practices within their Athletic Training program (ATP) as measured by the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. It was our intent to determine how athletic training students perceive their educational experiences in their overall ATP and do perceptions differ between AT students with self-disclosed hidden disabilities and those without hidden disabilities. Data was collected from students (N = 129) who represented 30 of the 77 CAATE accredited undergraduate athletic training education programs in the US District 4 (GLATA). Five percent of participants (n = 7) self-identified with having a hidden disability, involving a diagnosis that affects their learning experience, including ADHD (n = 5), LD (n = 2), and some form of psychological (n = 1) or medical (n = 1) condition. Significant differences were found between groups when comparing students with a self-disclosed hidden disability and those without on the total instrument score (p= .001), and 4 out of the 7 subscales: Active Learning (p= .000), Prompt Feedback (p= .006), Time On Task (p= .002), and High Expectations (p= .011). AT educators could utilize the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education to gather information regarding student perceptions of their educational experiences and use that as a basis to implement more UDL inspired approaches grounded in good practice in the didactic and clinical aspects of the program.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) as a tutoring intervention in narrowing the theory application gap within the treatment and rehabilitation domain of Regional Universities athletic training education program (ATE). Research indicates there are theory application gaps between didactic and practical applications in nursing, physical therapy, athletic training, and teacher education programs. This theory application gap exists when a transfer of knowledge breakdown occurs in the classroom and clinical practice integration. Students at Regional University in Texas have scored well below the national average in the treatment and rehabilitation domain of the Board of Certification, Inc. national certification examination. Athletic students within the RU ATE volunteered for participation in the study and provided the sample of convenience (N=15). The sample size consisted of student cohorts from each academic level within the ATE: Level-I (N=5), Level-II (N=5), and Level-III (N=5). Students participated in the study for five-weeks during the spring of 2013. Students received an orientation to PBL during the first week followed by the PBL tutoring intervention in the subsequent weeks. This study utilized a convergent parallel mixed methods design as the methodological framework. The Elizondo-Montemayor Criterion Reference (EMCR) self-assessment for PBL was utilized as the pre and posttest quantitative tool. Descriptive analysis was performed on the EMCR followed by the Kruskal-Wallis statistical analysis to and a post-hoc Mann-Whitney U analysis. Qualitative data was collected using the transcripts from focus groups and student reflection journals. A constant comparative method of analysis was used to review data from the focus groups and reflection journals. The EMCR self-assessment PBL objectives guided the thematic coding process. Through the constant comparative method of analysis, sub-themes emerged in both the focus groups and reflection journals. The results of the study indicate a statistical significance in the pre-posttest in the PBL objects of application of knowledge, clinical reasoning, and self-directed learning. However, the average self-directed learning EMCR score rated the academic levels as "poor". Qualitative results corroborate the self-directed learning quantitative findings, students also perceived the theory application gap within ATE as one that hinders learning.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine the factors that contribute to student persistence into athletic training education programs (ATEPs). The researcher also gauged prospective athletic training students' perceptions on experiences that contributed to their decision to either apply or not apply to ATEPs. -- Invited study participants included all freshmen prospective athletic training students who were enrolled in the Athletic Training Introductory course/s at three participating CAATE-accredited ATEPs with a secondary admissions process occurring in the fall. Contact persons from each ATEP were e-mailed a study introduction letter and asked to e-mail a student letter with a survey link to students in introductory course/s. The researcher merged two retention theories and developed a survey to gather data with regards to how program attributes, social, academic, clinical integration, and program commitment affect student persistence. Additionally, the survey included demographic items. The researcher also conducted semi-structured interviews with contact persons from each ATEP and gathered institution demographics, program demographics, and program attributes. Mann Whitney U tests were conducted to determine if differences among group responses existed. Spearman Rho correlation analyses were utilized to determine relationships between each independent variable (i.e., academic, social, clinical integration, program attributes, and program commitment) and each group (i.e., persisters and non-persisters). Establishing correlation significance allowed for the application of Binary Logistic Regression analysis to seek predictive variables. All qualitative responses provided in the survey data were coded utilizing an interpretive method of data coding. Overall descriptive statistics were computed on all survey items. -- With the results of this study, it was established that both a difference and relationship existed between each group and student persistence with Mann Whitney U and Spearman Rho correlations demonstrating significant results. Binary Logistic regression analysis did not yield predictive variables. The greatest correlation existed between program commitment and persistence. These findings suggested that strong program commitment is more influential in persistence than other variables. Qualitative results revealed that persisters and non-persisters manage the pre-application period differently, resulting in either persistence or non-persistence. Additionally, the rapport between athletes and athletic trainers serving as preceptors, the relationships between prospective athletic training students and athletic training students, and the mentorship displayed by athletic training students were all contributors to persistence.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate if differences existed in professional degree athletic training student (ATS) perceptions of the clinical learning environment with regards to immersive and clinical integration models of clinical education and preceptor to student ratios. In order to investigate ATS perspectives of the clinical learning environment a 34 item, four factor scale was developed by the researcher and named the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory – Athletic Training (CLEI-AT). Participants included 1,491 professional degree ATSs from across the United States who were recruited based on non-certified student membership status with the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA). Participants completed the CLEI-AT using Qualtrics Software (Provo, UT) and a 2 x 3 multivariate analysis of variance was computed to determine if mean vector differences existed among the independent variables with regard to the four subscales of the CLEI-AT. No significant multivariate differences were found therefore univariate analyses were conducted. A significant (p

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences demographics with regards to perceived importance (PI) and frequency (F) of practice of professional behaviors in athletic training. The difference in perceived importance and frequency of practice of the professional behaviors was also investigated. There was minimal research in athletic training on the perceptions and practice of professional behaviors as defined in the Foundational Behaviors of Professional Practice. Methods and Procedures. Two instruments were developed, using the behaviors listed in the Foundational Behaviors of Professional Practice of the NATA's Educational Competencies and from the Code of Professional Responsibility in the BOC's Standards of Professional Practice. Surveys were distributed to students, young professionals and program directors. Data analysis included one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc analysis as well as independent-sample t-tests and paired-sample t-tests. Validity and reliability were established through Pearson r correlations and Cronbach alphas. Results. The overall mean for F of practice of behaviors was higher than that of PI, with fewer differences being noted in PI for individual demographics. Significant differences were seen between males and female for several behavior categories. Students reported significantly lower scores for F and PI than any other demographic group. Conclusions. Fewer differences for PI indicate a consistent knowledge of athletic training professionals of the demographic behaviors. The lower scores in students require further investigation to determine whether differences were due to the educational background or lack of athletic training experience and practice.

Book excerpt: Athletic trainers work in clinical settings such as secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports, hospitals, and other healthcare environments. However, with the rapid expansion of athletic training education programs (ATEP) over the years, another role for the athletic trainer has developed, the athletic trainer educator. Consequently, it is currently becoming increasingly apparent that athletic trainers must also be equipped with the knowledge and expertise to teach, mentor, and train the future generations of certified athletic trainers within the classroom. Recently, researchers (Hertel et al., 2001; Craig, 2006; Rich, 2009) have argued that athletic training instructors lack the necessary pedagogical knowledge to be more effective instructors. However, athletic training education is a unique environment that provides both a wealth of content knowledge and many opportunities for students and professionals to engage in inquiry, action, interaction, mentoring, and reflection. Does the athletic training environment provide informal opportunities for students and instructors to gain pedagogical expertise? To learn more about instructors' preparation for teaching, this dissertation explored athletic training instructors perceived preparedness for teaching in an ATEP. This study used a mixed methods research approach through a self-developed and pre-piloted electronic questionnaire. The approach consisted of collecting and analyzing scalable quantitative and qualitative data as well as written narrative qualitative responses from 364 participants currently teaching within an ATEP. In addition, quantitative data was collected from ATEP program directors regarding their perceptions of pedagogy on instructor preparation and its place within athletic training (AT) education. Through the study's findings, it became evident that instructors' perceived preparedness for teaching is explained by several theories of learning, such as the mentor/protege model of learning, experiential learning theory, and social learning theory. Demonstrated by their actions, attitudes, and beliefs, participants placed high value on pedagogy, its importance on effective teaching, and its place within AT education. Furthermore, from within athletic training's unique clinical field and classroom settings, participants demonstrated how each environment provided them with their perceived foundations for teaching within an ATEP. Despite these findings, formal pedagogical preparation and its place within athletic training curricula needs further exploration. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The current study was designed to investigate undergraduate athletic training students (ATS) perceptions of the clinical learning environment (CLE) using the Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI) survey, as well as, to determine if major differences existed between on and off campus clinical education sites (Newton, Jolly, Ockerby, & Cross, 2010). In addition, the researcher explored if differences existed in the CLE between males and females, and sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The participants included 105 undergraduate ATS between the ages of 18 and 24 years. Participants were recruited from three East Coast, CAATE accredited,undergraduate athletic training programs. All participants completed the CLEI survey. A total of six 2 x 2 x 3 Independent Groups Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) were computed to determine if interactions or differences existed among the independent variables with respect to the six subscales on the CLEI survey. A significant (p .05) difference was found for the main effect of year in school with regard to the subscale, innovation, on the CLEI. All other findings were considered none significant (p .05), however, many practical implications were noted from the data.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context. An understanding of valuable as well as ineffective learning experiences from the perspective of the professional masters (PM) athletic training student and how their level of development connects to these perceptions is needed to continue to encourage growth in the adult learner, a new type of scholar in many athletic training education programs (ATP). Objective. Develop an understanding about the learning experiences that resonate positively and negatively with second year PM athletic training students, both in the classroom as well as in their clinical education. Create a theory about developmental level and perceptions of learning. Design. Exploratory, qualitative using a general inductive approach and aspects of grounded theory. Setting. Division 1 CAATE athletic training programs. Participants. 12 participants (9 female, 3 male; 24 2 years old). Data Collection and Analysis. Participants engaged in a semi-structured video conference interview. Data were analyzed using aspects of general inductive approach and grounded theory to evaluate the raw data from the interviews. Reaching data saturation, peer review, and member checks were used to establish credibility. Results. The valuable learning experience needed to prepare masters level athletic training students for educational success is the clinical experience which offers opportunities to practice autonomy and hands-on learning. Two main categories emerged from the data describing negative or ineffective aspects of learning: course design and educator effectiveness. From a developmental perspective, participants exhibited meaning making in two distinct ways: external guidance and transformative learning experiences. The developmentally effective experience that was the catalyst for deeper meaning making was the clinical experience. Conclusion. Athletic training students highly value aspects of their education best delivered in a clinical setting but do not value all aspects of their education, especially those delivered in a traditional didactic setting. Educators should seek opportunities to fine tune their course design and find ways to increase effectiveness as educators. Additionally, considerations regarding the developmental level of students should be made by instructors when creating effective learning experiences.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transfer of learning refers to how previous learning influences current and future learning and how past or current learning is applied or adapted to similar or novel situations. Athletic training students enrolled in accredited programs are exposed to didactic theory and clinical practice in the form of educational competencies and clinical proficiencies. The learner progresses through established coursework in which he or she must successfully transfer their learning to clinical practice. This transfer is necessary to ensure the learner matriculates from the level of a student learner to that of an independent practitioner. A variety of supervised clinical rotations are provided to give students the opportunity to apply previously learned knowledge and skills in "real world" situations. These rotations must include controlled problem solving/critical thinking situations that allows for the utilization of knowledge and skills learned from course content. In this sense, the goals of clinical education include authenticating student knowledge, interpreting theoretical and applied knowledge, developing and refining skills, familiarizing students with the workplace, and developing problem-solving and time management skills. Transfer of learning is at the heart of this development. Assessments of transfer of learning will assist athletic training educators authenticate the development of the athletic training student as a learner in the clinical setting.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The investigation was designed to determine athletic training educators (ATEs) instructional effectiveness in the didactic setting. TheATEs instructional effectiveness was assessed through interviews, field observations, and student evaluations. Through a qualitativeresearch methodology, the researcher found athletic training students (ATSs) and ATEs perceived similar instructional techniquesincreased instructional effectiveness. No difference was found between different academic year of ATSs, and perceptions ofinstructional effectiveness. Findings suggested ATEs with a formalized pedagogic focused educational background, have increasedknowledge of instructional effectiveness, and overall had higher student evaluation scores. Considering the future directions of athletictraining, ATEs knowledge and application of effective didactic strategies should be further investigated.

Book excerpt: Objective : The lack of diversity in the profession of athletic training is a concern as other healthcare professions increase. This research explores the influences and barriers that students perceive exist for choosing this profession and how race or ethnicity plays a role. Design and Setting : The study is a mixed methods research which is using a survey and interviews to provide data. The study is specifically looking at professional athletic training programs in the state of Missouri. Subjects: Undergraduate students currently enrolled in an accredited athletic training program in the State of Missouri. Measurements : Surveys were distributed and collected via Qualtrics and results were analyzed through a Kruskall-Wallis test and a Mann-Whitney U test. Interviews were transcribed and coded to determine common themes. Results : Significant differences were found between the responses of White and minority students on survey items related to college advisors, desire to help diverse patient populations, and a lack of role models in the profession. Conclusions : Policies related to the advising of potential athletic training students must be assessed to look at possible racial bias, and efforts to recruit diverse student populations should be a priority for athletic training education programs. Key Words: Athletic Training Education, Professional Socialization, Critical Race Theory.
