The Impact of Performance Anxiety on Female Athletes
Get PDFThe purpose of this synthesis is to examine the impact of performance anxiety on female athletes. Articles reviewed were aimed at answering two questions, what are the major sources that contribute to performance anxiety, and how does anxiety impact female athletes. Delimiting variables were used to do an exhaustive data-based search which yielded 10 articles. The research studies synthesized through this project were analyzed with the goal of concluding about the impact of performance anxiety on female athletes. It was revealed that while females experience higher levels of cognitive anxiety compared to males, cognitive and somatic anxiety increases from training to competition. Also, the sources of that anxiety can be both internal and external
Creating Quality Assessments for English Language Learners
No full textIn the United States, students are becoming more linguistically and culturally diverse. English Language Learners (ELLs) are among this population of students, and many educators find challenge in responding to their diverse needs. This perspective prepares teachers to access students’ viewpoints, backgrounds, and cultures within their learning. The literature examined in this capstone identifies three central challenges that English Language Learners face, including sociocultural, linguistic, and assessment challenges. This capstone will synthesize ELLs’ challenges learning a second language as well as the key characteristics of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true-false, constructed-response, and essay items in high quality assessments for ELLs. The professional development provided in this capstone will coach educators of all students to provide high quality assessments, accommodations, and modifications for ELLs. This capstone is limited to English Language Learners at the elementary and secondary levels. More research is needed to create quality assessments for adult ELLs
Requiring Research Methods of All Students Enrolled in the Consumer Health Program
No full textTo date, students enrolled in the undergraduate program in Consumer Health have been allowed to substitute the following experiences for PBH 495 (Health Research): EDI/PES student teaching, Honors Research Project, and Delta College Research Project. When these substitutions are accepted, students are required to take an additional three (3) credits of Public Health content courses to complete their degree. This proposal eliminates substitutions of alternate experiences for PBH 495, requiring the course of all students enrolled in the Consumer Health program

Parental Perspectives on Physical Education Services for Children with CHARGE Syndrome
Get PDFPurpose: Although there is literature currently that addresses parental perspectives of their child’s physical education services related to specific disabilities (Columna, L., Streete, D., Hodge et. al., 2018; Dillion, S., Dolphin. Et. al. 2017; Perkins, Columna, Lieberman, & Bailey, 2013; Columna et. al., 2008; An & Hodge, 2013; Štěrbová & Kudláček, 2014), there is a lack of research in investigating parental perspectives and CHARGE Syndrome. The aim of this study was designed to explore parental perspectives with children who have CHARGE Syndrome and their experiences in physical education. Methods: In this descriptive qualitative study, the participants were 10 mothers of children with CHARGE Syndrome ages 6-23 years old. These parents completed a demographic survey and semi-structured interview discussing their perspectives regarding their child’s physical education services. Results: Three independent themes were revealed (a) holistic expectations, (b) multifaceted barriers, and (c) facilitators to quality physical education. Conclusions: The overall finding from this study that parents do find physical education services as an important part of the educational program; however, these programs currently do not meet their expectations in terms of programming, qualified physical education teachers, and mindfully implementing the general physical education curriculum in an effective means for students with multiple disabilities
The Effects of a Non-traditional High School Physical Education Curriculum on the Development of Lifelong Engagement in Physical Activity
Get PDFThe purpose of this synthesis is to examine the effects of a non-traditional high school physical education curriculum on the development of lifelong engagement in physical activity. Additionally, a purpose of this synthesis is to give insight into the impact that physical education teachers have on student motivation to live an active lifestyle. The main goal of a physical educator is to promote lifetime participation in physical activity (Baldwin et al., 2002). The way in which a student perceives their physical education teacher and curriculum can have a long-lasting effect on their desire to live an active lifestyle. What are the benefits of teaching students through a nontraditional physical education curriculum? How can a nontraditional physical education program give students the tools and knowledge to be motivated to be physically active for a lifetime? The research studies synthesized through this project were analyzed in hopes to come to a conclusion about the effects of a non-traditional high school physical education curriculum on the development of lifelong engagement in physical activity

The Correlation Between Nursing Student Stress and Dietary Habits
Get PDFStress, defined as a state of mental or physical strain in relation to internal or external stimuli (Merriam-Webster, 2019), is a common emotion that may be taken for granted. While in small doses, stress can help propel critical thinking and enhance problem solving techniques- in excessive doses, however, stress is detrimental to general health. According to the Centre for Studies on Human Stress (2017), there are two significant forms of stress: Acute and Chronic. While acute, “short-term” stress is more likely to enhance reaction time and capabilities overall, chronic stress is notably longer-term and more consistently leads to co-morbidities, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and depression or anxiety (Centre for Studies on Human Stress, 2017), While chronic stress has been seen to cause more enduring health-issues, acute stress too has been seen to have negative effects on health, including diarrhea or constipation, headaches, fatigue, upset stomach and weight loss or gain (Centre for Studies on Human Stress, 2017)
Bridging the Gap in Accounting Education and Application through the Development and Use of Soft Skills
Get PDFI explore the development and use of soft skills in the accounting profession, and how these skills can bridge the education gap. Understanding the development and use of soft skills leads to conversations about the need to modernize accounting education, and how to achieve it. I focus on answering my research questions which include how to develop soft skills, and the usefulness of these skills in the accounting field. My research supports the need for change in accounting curriculum and how this curriculum is taught to students. Both professionals and educators acknowledge the gap in accounting and believe a change in how accounting is taught is necessary. Both also agree that soft skills are just as important, if not more important, than technical skills in the accounting field. My recommendation is to implement more active learning into accounting curriculum. Integrating this type of learning will better foster both the soft skills and technical skills that students need. Readers can hope to gain a better understanding of the skills necessary to succeed as an accountant, and how those skills are developed in higher education
