Bonneton-Botte, Nathalie; Beucher-Marsal, Claude; Bara, Florence; Muller, Julie; Corf, Laurence Le; Quéméneur, Marielle; Dare, Maud – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2021
The process of teaching and learning handwriting is complex and laborious. A digital learning environment in the form of a tablet app could enhance teachers' knowledge of writer characteristics and their management of classroom diversity. This study aims to identify the needs of cursive writing teachers from a survey of 164 kindergarten teachers…

Komar, John; Potdevin, François; Chollet, Didier; Seifert, Ludovic – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2019
Introduction: The constraints-led approach (CLA) and more generally a complex systems perspective on motor learning emphasizes the role of perceptual-motor exploration during learning in order to ensure the acquisition of a highly individualized, adapted and adaptable movement pattern. Recent studies have shown that human beings have a strong…

Kandel, Sonia; Perret, Cyril – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2015
Learning how to write involves the automation of grapho-motor skills. One of the factors that determine automaticity is "motor anticipation." This is the ability to write a letter while processing information on how to produce following letters. It is essential for writing fast and smoothly. We investigated how motor anticipation…

Potdevin, F.; Vors, O.; Huchez, A.; Lamour, M.; Davids, K.; Schnitzler, C. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2018
Background: Much of the existing research concerning the use of video feedback (VFB) to enhance motor learning has been undertaken under strictly controlled experimental conditions. Few studies have sought to explore the impact of VFB on the skill learning experience of the students in a structured, school-based physical education (PE) setting.…

Legrain, Pascal; Escalié, Guillaume; Lafont, Lucile; Chaliès, Sébastien – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2019
Background: One of the key questions of physical education teacher educators (PETE) programmes refers to whether future teachers are prepared to build knowledge and skills to feel self-efficacious in teaching physical education (PE). This issue concerns the instructional model of teaching used to help PE pre-service teachers to master both…

Darnis, Florence; Lafont, Lucile – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2015
Background: Within a socio-constructivist perspective, this study is situated at the crossroads of three theoretical approaches. First, it is based upon team sport and the tactical act model in games teaching. Second, it took place in dyadic or small group learning conditions with verbal interaction. Furthermore, these interventions were based on…

Tsao, Raphaele; Fartoukh, Mickael; Barbier, Marie-Laure – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2011
Background: Although there is growing awareness about the potential for people with Down syndrome (DS) to become literate, we know little about the characteristics of handwriting within this population. Methods: Thirty-three participants took part in this experiment. Eleven adults with DS and 22 typically developing individuals (11 children…

Van Biesen, Debbie; Verellen, Joeri; Meyer, Christophe; Mactavish, Jennifer; Van de Vliet, Peter; Vanlandewijck, Yves – Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 2010
In this study the ability of elite table tennis players with intellectual disability (ID) to adapt their service/return to specific ball spin characteristics was investigated. This was done by examining the performance of 39 players with ID and a reference group of 8 players without ID on a standardized table tennis specific test battery. The…

Vors, Olivier; Gal-Petitfaux, Nathalie – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2015
Background: Since 2010, French secondary schools with a high proportion of students in academic difficulty benefit from a compensatory education policy called "Ecoles Colleges et Lycees pour l'Ambition, l'Innovation et la Reussite" (ECLAIR). These students tend to behave poorly and frequently disengage from learning tasks, and thus one…

Leverrier, Celine; Gauthier, Antoine; Nicolas, Arnaud; Molinaro, Corinne – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2011
The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of a submaximal isometric training program on estimation capacity at 25, 50, and 75% of maximal contraction in isometric action and at two angular velocities. The second purpose was to study the variability of isometric action. To achieve these purposes, participants carried out an isokinetic…

Fezzani, K.; Albinet, C.; Thon, B.; Marquie, J. -C. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2010
The present study investigated the extent to which the impact of motor difficulty on the acquisition of a computer task varies as a function of age. Fourteen young and 14 older participants performed 352 sequences of 10 serial pointing movements with a wireless pen on a digitiser tablet. A conditional probabilistic structure governed the…

Mascret, Nicolas – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2011
Background: Physical education teachers often use the player-coach dyad in individual opposition sports so that students can obtain information on their actions and then better regulate them. This type of work also develops methodological and social skills. However, the task of observing a partner often poses problems for failing students, who…

Vernazza-Martin, S.; Martin, N.; Vernazza, A.; Lepellec-Muller, A.; Rufo, M.; Massion, J.; Assaiante, C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
This article focuses on postural anticipation and multi-joint coordination during locomotion in healthy and autistic children. Three questions were addressed: (1) Are gait parameters modified in autistic children? (2) Is equilibrium control affected in autistic children? (3) Is locomotion adjusted to the experimenter-imposed goal? Six healthy…

Vincent-Morin, Madeleine; Lafont, Lucile – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2005
The goal of this study was to identify the relationships between the learning choices made by pupils and their personal characteristics, including cognitive style (field dependence--independence), a motivational variable (feeling of self-efficacy), and a cognitive variable (task representation). The participants were 64 twelve-year-old sixth…

Washburne, C. W. – Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1923
The author of this report, accompanied by his wife and two experienced teachers, spent three months touring European experimental schools. They visited every country that gave promise of yielding examples of experimental schools, and, while not attempting to visit every experimental school, they did attempt to visit every type in each country.…
