A Qualitative Study of College Student-Athletes Using the Job Demands-Resources Model: A Case for Understanding Student-Athletes as Employees
No full textThis research conceptualizes the NCAA Division I student-athlete position as similar to a position of employment utilizing the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model developed by Bakker & Demerouti (2017) from the field of Industrial-Organizational Psychology. We utilize qualitative methods to conduct an exploratory study that assesses the characteristics of student-athletes through analysis of perceived role demands, role resources, and personal resources using a sample of using a sample of 30 student-athletes (15 men, 15 women) at mostly large Division I universities across the U.S. Data were analyzed utilizing thematic analysis and revealed the various demands that student-athletes faced, as well as the many ways they navigated them with resources from their universities and their personal lives. Student-athletes face a variety of role demands addressing the student role, the athlete role, and a combination of the two roles. To manage these demands, student-athletes access numerous role resources, such as staff, facilities and support items, and events and policies. NCAA Division I student-athletes also utilize numerous personal resources, including relational and routine-based support. Findings support the use of the JD-R Model with student-athletes, encourage future work conceptualizing them using employment-related models and theories, and offer recommendations for supporting Division I student-athletes

Seeking Kairos: Creating Oases of Rest through Contemplative Practice in the Elementary Classroom

This article introduces rest and restfulness as contemplative practice in the context of elementary schooling. As a Canadian elementary teacher, I have been researching ways to introduce contemplative practices of education to support children in their well-being. Children struggle under the pressures of expectations to achieve and excel, to conform and perform, which just as well applies to their teachers. Schooling in a burnout society prioritizes achievement, productivity, and always doing something: “No time to waste” and “keep busy” are mandatory. Not incidentally, the etymological meaning of scholar, from Ancient Greek, σχολή (skholḗ), has to do with leisure or free time: a far cry from the contemporary scene of school learning. Given all this, contemplativeness cannot even take root in the mind-body-hearts that are constantly pressured to strive, perform, and achieve. More than anything, children (and teachers, too) need rest and restfulness. However, inactivity does not automatically guarantee that rest is found. Hence, my current research explores ways to create space/spaciousness in which children can experience restfulness while engaging in curricular activities. To this extent, I propose rest and restfulness as contemplative practice. I inquire how to create or allow oases of rest in the classroom through activities that incorporate reflective practices as an extension of curriculum content. I use my own reflective journaling to analyze and show how reflective writing among other practices can be contemplative and result in an overall feeling of restfulness for students and teacher alike
Wisdom Responses to Troubled Times: Healing through Contemplative and Somatic Approaches
Get PDFHumanity is facing troubled times, as witnessed by increased polarization and division that are exploding into various forms of violence. Collectively, we are facing unprecedented ecological and environmental disasters. On campuses throughout North America, and closer to home, student anxiety, depression and other mental health issues are increasingly prevalent. The academic fields of contemplative inquiry and somatic studies, which highlight holistic approaches to education, are responding to these troubled times by showing how we can accomplish presence of mind, promote healing, and embrace the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and ecological dimensions of wellness
