The problem of this study was to determine the extent to which the results of the use of the "Evaluative Criteria" set up by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools agree with the evaluative criteria drawn from standard objectives in an activity program of the Era High School.

The problem of this study is to make an evaluation of the out-of-class activity program of the Sherman High School.

Since more demand is being made of the school to teach democracy--and to practice what it teaches--this work is an attempt to show how some phases of the democratic way of living can be incorporated into a student activity program of a high school, and to offer a democratic plan for the coordination and administration of these student activities.

This survey research project explored different factors influencing the desire of seniors living in structured residential centers to have inter-generational activities with children from their communities.

abstract: Whole school physical activity (PA) programming provides additional PA opportunities at school beyond Physical Education. Physical Educators often absorb the additional responsibilities of leading such programs, resulting in some Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) programs adopting expanded PA programming and integrating related topics into their curriculum. The Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) is of interest to the present study as it focuses on Quality Physical Education and is the model utilized at the institution of interest. Arizona State University’s PETE program began integrating CSPAP concepts in 2009 and serves as the focal program for this study. The purpose of this study, which was informed by The Diffusion of Innovations and the Teacher Socialization Theories, was to determine the degree to which graduates integrate PA programming into their own K-12 schools. In a two-phase (electronic survey followed by campus visit and interview with sub-sample), mixed methods’ approach, 101 graduates (between the years of 2000-2019) of Arizona State University’s PETE program provided details of their current practices related to expanded PA. Results: Quantitative findings included weak but positive relationships between year of graduation and knowledge of CSPAP and having positive perceptions of expanded PA as an innovation. Bachelors’ graduates reported higher PA integration than Masters’ graduates. Visual inspection of data shows a slight increase in perceptions of expanded PA as an innovation and a slight decrease in PA programming integration across years of graduation. Interviews provided evidence that more recent graduates may still be figuring out their roles, delaying their PA program. Increased perceptions scores suggest the PETE program at ASU has been successful in providing students positive interactions with expanded PA programming. Graduates indicated they felt well prepared with strategies and resources for promoting and maintaining such programs, but they noted a need for more exposure to tools for initiating a new program. Findings can inform changes in the ASU PETE program and may be applicable in other settings. Establishing ongoing contact with graduates to provide marketing and support tools graduates can access may be beneficial as teachers often realize the need for these materials well beyond graduation. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Learning, Literacies and Technologies 2020

Since 1980, the obesity rate in children 5 to 11 years of age has increased from 7% to 18%. The lack of structured physical activity and poor dietary habits childhood are primary risk factors for obesity related comorbidities in adulthood. Guided by primary care providers, families can reverse childhood obesity by implementing healthy dietary habits and engaging in structured physical activity. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to develop an evidenced-based policy with procedures to standardize the timely and consistent identification of overweight children at a primary care clinic serving military families. With an emphasis on obesity prevention within families through primary care interventions, the revised health belief model guided the project design. A literature review was conducted in a systematic manner to identify effective strategies and interventions to inform the policy development. Then, the Delphi technique guided a 12-member expert panel to evaluate the policy and procedures in terms of the level of evidence and the implementation plan with the goal of achieving consensus with recommendations for revisions. Consensus was achieved with multiple revisions following the completion of two Delphi rounds. The first panel session (n=12) concluded with a 70% consensus, including recommended revisions to improve the policy implementation. The second panel session (n=12) concluded with 100% consensus for the revised policy. The final policy and procedures addressed the clinical practice gap with a robust process to identify, counsel, and refer overweight children to external specialty programs for obesity management. By intervening to reverse the progression of childhood obesity, this project achieved positive social change at an organization level.

Esta Tese trata de modos de constituição de subjetividades, num programa institucional, destinado ao aperfeiçoamento pedagógico de professores universitários de diferentes áreas de atuação, na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Este Programa objetiva produzir novos significados sobre ser um profissional do ensino, mediante discussões sobre formas de conceber o ensinar e o aprender em diferentes campos discursivos. Realizou-se, nesta pesquisa, uma análise do Programa, especialmente da XI Edição (2003-2004), descrevendo sua instauração e também as modalidades de trabalhos realizados com e pelos professores-alunos. Fundamentado teórica e metodologicamente em Michel Foucault, este estudo se baseia nos conceitos de discurso, prática discursiva, poder, enunciado, formação discursiva, sujeito e heterogeneidade discursiva. A análise centraliza-se na descrição dos modos de ser sujeito que se produzem com a instauração desse Programa, que, por si, já é portador de enunciados. Nas análises realizadas, desde a perspectiva do poder relacional e com base em uma perspectiva histórica, foi possível demonstrar, mediante a identificação das regras que regulavam os diferentes modos de ser sujeito, que estes transitavam em diferentes formações discursivas sobre educação no ensino superior, evidenciando embates, que remetem às resistências do poder. / This thesis is about the ways subjectivities are constructed in an institutional teacher education program for professors from different areas at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS in Portuguese). This program aims at constructing new meanings for being an education professional throughout discussions on how to understand teaching and learning in different discursive fields. In this work this program was analyzed, especially its 11th Edition (2003-2004), describing its establishment as well as the types of activities done with and by the teacher-students. Theoretically and methodologically based on Michel Foucault, this research builds on the concepts of discourse, discursive practice, power, statement, discursive formation, subject, and discursive heterogeneity. The analysis centers on the description of the ways of being a subject constructed in this program establishment, which are statements themselves. In the analysis done, taking into account relational power based on a historical perspective, it was possible to show that, through the identification of the rules that regulate the different ways of being subject that they were part of different discursive formations about Higher Education showing clashes that refer to power resistance.
