The aim of this research is to examine preservice mathematics teachers' dispositions toward drawing geometric patterns in tasks and find out their perspectives on using these tasks for their future students. Sixty preservice mathematics teachers who enrolled in a methods course for 14 weeks participated in the research. The responses to the…

Mirror visual feedback increases neural activity, enhances performance, and induces neuroplasticity; however, mixed results have been observed during the learning of motor skills. While mirrors are commonplace in Western dance education, further research is needed to determine how mirrors are used when learning dance phrases. This study measured…

Despite decades of reform efforts, STEM education continues to face calls for improvement, especially regarding the teaching laboratory. Establishing an empirical understanding of the types of hands-on, psychomotor skills that students need to learn to succeed in downstream careers could help ensure laboratory courses are promoting authentic…

The overhand throw is a complex whole-body motor skill that is fundamental to many sports and activities. When throwing properly, the momentum generated to complete the movement begins in the lower body and transfers through the trunk to the throwing arm. This proof-of-concept study's primary purpose was to evaluate the impact of the nonthrowing…

The quality of learning must be continuously improved, even during the pandemic. The demand is that students can study well and improve their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students are encouraged to learn online from home. Adapting this new habit challenges the teacher to design a project-based…

The term "physical literacy" has been integrated into national physical education standards. This study was designed to better understand how preservice physical educators put physical literacy into practice and prepare to be role models within the school context. Sixty preservice physical educators (46 males, 14 females, aged 19 to 25)…

Transitioning to university can be challenging for many first-year students. This study focusses on a Health and Physical Education (HPE) subject delivered at an Australian regional university and designed to support first-year preservice teachers training to teach in primary schools. The aim of this mixed-methods research was to investigate if a…

Hybrid learning is expanding in physical therapy education; however, a limited empirical understanding of the psychomotor domain exists in this context. Moreover, the current literature presents conflicting results. Psychomotor skill instruction traditionally uses live demonstration followed by student practice. This study compared student…

The aim of this study is to evaluate some bio motor capabilities which are thought to have an effect on Special Ability Test Course (SATC) test scores applied as an entrance exam in the School of Physical Education and Sports (SPES). 70 participants who were successful in the SATC (51 male (181 ± 5.5 cm, 73.9 ± 9.8 kg) and 19 female (165 ± 5.6 cm,…
