Value Orientations and Socialisation Processes of Pre-service Teachers in Health and Physical Education: A case studyNigel Farley Unknown Date (has links)
Abstract The purpose of this case study was to determine the value orientations of health and physical education students (HPE) in an Australian physical education teacher education (PETE) program. Additionally, I was interested in the sympathy or otherwise in the relationship between the explicit Queensland HPE curriculum values and the value profiles of a cohort of pre-service teachers. Values were measured with the Value Orientation Inventory-2 (VOI-2) developed by Ennis and Chen, (1993). The culture and the curriculum goals of HPE and health and physical education teacher education (HPETE), contribute to the socialisation and construction of value orientations (Solmon & Ashy, 1995). Descriptive statistics were compiled for all five-value orientations, along with t-tests and ANOVA’s. Participants (N=33) were recruited from the 3rd year HPE cohort at a large Australian University and were tested pre and post semester 2, 2007. Initial and final testing demonstrated a diverse range of value orientation profiles. This cohort of HPETE students emphasizes certain value priorities over others. 26 students within this study demonstrated a ‘Neutral’ or ‘High’ priority towards learning process (LP), additionally 22 students also have a ‘Neutral’ or ‘High’ disciplinary mastery (DM) priority. The students’ priorities towards social responsibility (SR) were very low, with two students in the ‘High’ category and eighteen in the ‘Low’ priority. Initial ‘High’ dispositions towards LP and DM are consistent with the findings of Solmon and Ashy, (1995). The SR results suggest that many PETE students’ values are unsympathetic with the values underpinning the Queensland HPE curriculum. This may be cause for concern to those interested in curricula orientated around the principles of social justice, equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and supportive contexts.

Change through tourism: resident perceptions of tourism developmentDoh, Minsun 15 May 2009 (has links)
Many view tourism as a tool for community development. Especially in the rural areas experiencing economic hardships, tourism often is considered an instrument for revitalization of a local economy helping to improve quality of life and protect natural and cultural resources. However, many researchers have raised concerns about an overly optimistic view by asserting that tourism development inevitably affects the corresponding community. Empirical studies suggest that development of tourism brings environmental, sociocultural, and economic changes to the community where it is developed. Thus, it is important that planners look at the attitudes of local people towards tourism development in their community before an actual development takes place. The conceptual basis of this study is development and change theory and empirical findings of tourism impact research. This study provides information to assist in understanding questions related to the rural communities’ tourism planning process in a development context, and residents’ perceptions of the impact of tourism and its further development. A self-administered mail-back survey was administered to see how the residents of Brewster County, Texas perceive tourism development in the region. Considering the 43% of the Hispanic population in the area, both English and Spanish versions of the questionnaires were sent to the possible respondents. The overall response rate was 37% after two rounds of survey administered during January and February of 2006. The structural model confirmed that people’s value orientation regarding nature was an important variable that explained residents’ community attachment, which influenced their attitudes toward tourism through attitudes toward local participation. The results indicated that residents’ values were oriented toward nature and that they were highly attached to their communities. In addition, their tourism attitudes were varied based on the types of tourism impacts they were expecting. Although they were supportive of tourism related development, they felt that certain types of tourism development were more appropriate for their community. Specifically, “medium impact” tourism development were perceived to be desirable for the northern part of the region, whereas low impact development options were perceived to be more acceptable for the southern part of the region by their residents.

The Acculturation of Chinese-American Adolescents in Negotiating Autonomy and Connectedness: Comparison between Chinese- and European-AmericansChang, Tzu-Fen 2009 August 1900 (has links)
Chinese-American adolescents were compared with the major group in the
United States (European-American adolescents) in negotiating self-concepts related with
autonomy and connectedness. Senses of autonomy and connectedness were evaluated by
examining adolescents' cultural value orientations (individualism and collectivism),
parent-adolescent relationships (decision-making styles and power perception), and
relations between the two constructs. Participants included 56 first- or second-generation
Chinese-American adolescents (18.5% of first-generation and 81.5% of secondgeneration)
and 45 European-American adolescents, accompanied with their mothers (47
Chinese-American mothers and 42 European-American mothers).
In terms of cultural value orientations, Chinese- and European-Americans' selfconcepts
were consistently oriented towards collectivism more than individualism in
adolescents and mothers. With regard to parent-adolescent relationships, Chinese-
American adolescents have identified with the dominant culture to show similar desires
of being autonomous as European-American adolescents. However, Chinese-American mothers adopted more authoritarian, conservative, and inflexible parenting styles than
European-American mothers. With regard to the relations between variables of cultural
value orientations and variables of parent-adolescent relationships, the pattern of
findings was consistent with the notion that Chinese-American adolescents who
internalize highly collectivistic cultural values displayed more collectivistic
communication styles in parent-adolescent relationships than European-American
adolescents.

A Cross-age Study On Elementary StudentsEryigit, Arzu 01 December 2010 (has links) (PDF)
A cross age study was conducted to investigate 6th, 7th and 8th grade students&rsquo / value orientations, environmental optimism, and environmental concern. In addition,
gender and grade level differences in the environmental-related attributes were
examined.
A total of 938 (491 girls and 447 boys) students attending public schools
located in Kelkit, the district of Gumushane, were administered a questionnaire
consisting of Demographics, Environmental Attitudes and Apathy Scales,
Environmental Concern Scale , Environmental Optimism Scale, Locus of Control
Scale and Conservation Behavior Scale.
In general, students who participated in the current study found to endorse
eco-centric attitudes, and express a high degree of concern as well as optimism level
about the current and future state of the environmental issues and problems. They
also seemed to be interested in environmental issues and problems and perceived
environmental problems as one of the two or three most important problems
currently being faced.
In order to examine the role of gender and grade level on students&rsquo / environmental attitudes, two separate two-way MANOVAs were conducted. The
results revealed a statistically significant gender and grade level differences both on students&rsquo / ecocentric, apathy and anthropocentric attitudes and on students&rsquo / environmental optimism and concern levels.

Kaimo mokyklų mokinių vertybinių orientacijų kaita ir jų sąsajos su sveikata bei žalingais įpročiais / Changes in value orientations of the schoolchildren in rural schools and their links with health and bad habitsPivorienė, Audronė 14 January 2009 (has links)
Šiuo tyrimu buvo siekiama išanalizuoti kaimo mokyklų 7-10 klasių mokinių vertybines orientacijas ir jų sąsajas su sveikata bei žalingais įpročiais.
Vertybių įvertinimui buvo naudojamas klausimynas pagal adaptuotas Rokeach (1972), Wolff ir kt. (1968) vertybių skales ( pagal tarptautinius tyrimus, atliktus Medicininės psichologijos ir sociologijos tyrimų laboratorijoje, paruošė Antanas Goštautas, Algirdas Goštautas). Taip pat buvo pateikti klausimai apie sveikatos būklę bei žalingus įpročius.
Buvo apklausti keturių rajono mokyklų 7 – 10 klasių mokiniai. Viso buvo apklausta 234 mokiniai – 123 vaikinai ir 111 merginų. Viso - 53 septintokai, 62 aštuntokai, 60 devintokai ir 59 dešimtokai.
Tyrimas įrodė, jog yra tiesioginis ryšys tarp prosocialių vertybių mažėjimo ir žalingų įpročių didėjimo kaimo mokyklose. Gauti rezultatai parodė, jog merginų ir vaikinų, besimokančiųjų kaimo mokyklų 7-10 klasėse, vertybinės orientacijos skiriasi. Skiriasi vaikinų ir merginų žalingi įpročiai: vaikinai daugiau ir dažniau rūko. Nerūkantys vaikinai ir merginos linkę rečiau vartoti alkoholinius gėrimus. Nerūkantys ir negeriantys mokiniai nevartoja narkotinių medžiagų.
Vaikinai, orientuoti į dvasines vertybes, socialinę aplinką, pažintinę veiklą, vertinantys sveikatą ir naudingumą kitiems mažiau vartoja narkotines medžiagas. Vaikinai, orientuoti į pažintinę veiklą, ir merginos, orientuotos į tradicines vertybes, mažiau vartoja alkoholinius gėrimus.
Siekiant ugdyti sveikus – ir fiziškai, ir... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This research was meant to analyze the value orientations of the 7-10th formers in rural schools and their links with health and bad habits.
The questionnaire used to evaluate the values was adapted by Rokeach (1972), Wolff et al. (1968) The value scales were prepared by Antanas Goštautas and Algirdas Goštautas, according to the international researches done in the Laboratory of medical psychological and sociological researches. Also the questions about the health condition and additions were asked.
The schoolchildren of the 7-10th form from four regional schools were questioned. In total 234 schoolchildren – 123 boys and 111 girls – were questioned. Among them, 53 7th-formers, 62 8th formers, 60 9th formers and 59 10th formers.
The research proved that there is a direct relation between the decrease of prosocial values and increase of the bad habits in rural schools. The results showed that the value orientations of boys and girls, who study in the forms 7-10 in rural schools, differ. The bad habits of boys and girls differ: the boys smoke more and more frequently. The boys and girls, who do not smoke, tend to consume alcohol drinks more rarely. The schoolchildren, who do not smoke or drink, do not use drugs either.
The girls in the rural schools are more directed to the health and usefulness to others, to the social environment, cognitive activity, traditions and moral values.
The boys, who are directed to the moral values, social environment, cognitive activity, who... [to full text]
