Deep science understanding is reflected in students’ ability to use content and skills when making sense of the world. Assessing deep requires measuring complex constructs that combine elements skills. To develop valid measures constructs, we need understand how their theoretical dimensionality, integration skills, manifested practice. This work developed context Framework for K-12 Science Educ...

Drawing upon Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives as a theoretical framework, this study examines attitudes toward communication skills training, knowledge of appropriate provider-patient communication, and confidence communicating with patients between first-year and fourth-year medical students at a large medical school in the southern United States. The study findings indicate that fou...

The purpose of this study was to develop a futsal ball thrower for skill training in game. development conducted order advance the previous machine which already existed be more maximum helping athlete exercising skills. developed equipped with: 1) A basket can storage 5 balls; 2) various speed ejection; 3) Two ejection heads angle set up; 4) Manual and automatic operation; 5) Flexibility that ...

Dexterous manipulation with a highly redundant movement system is one of the hallmarks of human motor skills. From numerous behavioral studies, there is strong evidence that humans employ compliant task space control, i.e. they focus control only on task variables while The International Journal of Robotics Research Vol. 27, No. 6, June 2008, pp. 737–757 DOI: 10.1177/0278364908091463 c SAGE Pub...

Background. Limited physical activity (PA) is a risk factor for childhood obesity. In Netherlands, as in many other countries worldwide, local policy officials bear responsibility for integrated PA policies, involving both health and nonhealth domains. In practice, its development seems hampered. We explore which obstacles local policy officials perceive in their effort. Methods. Fifteen semist...

Although there is evidence for age-related changes in both cognition and motor control, very little is known about the effect of age on learning of new motor skills. The present experiment addressed the interaction between aging and the role of knowledge of results (KR) on a motor learning task. Using a three-segment task on which each segment had specific timing goals, three different manipula...

Three experiments were conducted to determine if the intention to perform motor sequences in the future results in similar patterns of activation and inhibition as observed for verbal scripts. In Experiments 1 and 2, intention was induced by informing one group that they would be tested on the tasks following acquisition; the other group was not informed of the retention test. Recognition tests...
