Prevalence of Burnout in Division III Student-Athletes
No full textAs athletes continue to strive for excellence and perfection, the pressure and intensity of sports have increased. The high levels of stress and demanding training regimens leave some athletes feeling discouraged or emotionally exhausted. Raedeke and Smith (2001) define burnout as “a psychological, emotional, and at times physical withdrawal from a formerly pursued and enjoyable activity due to chronic stress or dissatisfaction” (p. 282). The purpose of this study was to evaluate perceived burnout levels from two Division III sports teams with longer sport seasons. Thirty-four varsity athletes completed the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) and a brief demographic questionnaire during preseason and postseason. Participants included members of the women’s gymnastics (n=17) and men’s swimming and diving team (n=17). Preseason findings illustrate that female gymnasts have a higher average of emotional/physical exhaustion and reduced sense of accomplishment compared to male swimmers and divers, who have a slightly higher average for sport devaluation. From preseason to postseason, the total population had a significant average increase in reduced sense of accomplishment, while having slight reductions in both emotional/physical exhaustion and sport devaluation. Average results for both teams were consistent from preseason to postseason. Secondary findings confirmed original results with gymnastics leading in emotional/physical exhaustion and reduced sense of accomplishment averages, with a lower average for sport devaluation than the men’s swimmers and divers.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1058/thumbnail.jp
Tracking the expansion of the Icy Bay Glacier in southern Alaska using tree-ring data
No full textTree ring chronologies are a useful tool for analyzing past changes in environmental stress. This study utilizes data from 33 Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) trees growing at 350 meters elevation in the Chaix Hills of southern Alaska to reconstruct movement of the nearby Icy Bay Glacier during the nineteenth century. Tree rings were measured and cross-dated to ensure that all rings were in their correct year of growth. The resulting tree-ring chronology contains 10,192 rings and spans 1708 to 1994. These data are now being analyzed for unusually wide or narrow rings, resin ducts, reaction wood, or other growth anomalies to determine proximity to the glacier. Results of this study will contribute to a refined timeline of the glacial margin’s arrival upon and recession from the growth location of the spruce trees.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/posters/1057/thumbnail.jp

Investigating Preservice Elementary Teachers (PSTs’) Views of Nature of Science (VNOS) and Science Attitudes Following Engagement in an Integrated Physics and Chemistry Content Course
Get PDFStudents’ classroom experiences affect their views of science, placing importance on teachers’ instructional approaches. Current reform suggests that inquiry-based science instruction supports positive views of science. However, students and teachers have been shown to hold developing views of nature of science (VNOS), or understanding what science is and how it progresses. Compounding matters, every student has their own personal science experiences that shape their science understandings and attitudes. This project investigates the attitudes and VNOS among preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) enrolled in an integrated physics and chemistry content course (SCI142). Two course sections were surveyed throughout one semester (n = 77 students total) to track their views and attitudes and how those changed over time. Data was collected via open-ended surveys and analyzed using open coding. Results revealed a range of attitudes and VNOS, and that PSTs understood certain NOS aspects more than others. Findings supported previous VNOS research and provided concrete entry points to supporting elementary PSTs\u27 NOS understandings via inquiry-based approaches
