Olympic athletes' training environments influence their abilities to develop and excel as Olympians. Our authors considered a Canadian trampoline training environment with a history of developing Olympic medal-winning athletes from the grassroots through to Olympic podium. The sport environment is presented, drawing upon guided walks, through a cursory description in accordance with the Environmental Success Factors model derived from a holistic ecological approach to talent development. This presentation of the Skyriders Training Environment (STE) reveals how environmental factors facilitate Olympic talent development culminating in the highest level of artistic sport performance.
Kpazai G, Attiklemé K. The role of professional experience on the dimension of reflexivity in teaching: A case study of two secondary school Health and Physical Education teachers. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 254-262, 2012. The present study is based on empirical data generated from the rationale behind the pedagogical approach of two Health and Physical Education teachers with varying years of experience (30 years and 5 years respectively). Building on the topology of reflexivity put forward by Van Manen, one aim of the current study is to understand whether professional experience influences the nature of the objects of reflection of these two Health and Physical Education teachers during the teachinglearning process. A second objective is to determine whether a link exists between teachers' level of reflexivity and their level of professional competence.
Résumé : Il est possible d’améliorer la santé et les soins de santé de manière efficace par l’entremise de l’amélioration de l’expérience du patient. L’objectif principal de cette étude était de saisir et comprendre l’expérience de patient(e)s francophones chez leur médecin de famille en examinant les effets de la concordance et la discordance linguistique sur cette expérience. La méthode de collecte de données fut inspirée des deux premières étapes de l’approche « Experienced-Based Design » (EBD). Six groupes de discussions ont été organisés dans des communautés fortement francophones du nord de l’Ontario où vingt-neuf participant(e)s ont partagé l’expérience d’une visite chez leur médecin de famille. L’expérience de patient(e)s francophone est caractérisée par de nombreuses émotions, dont plusieurs sont éprouvés en raison de la concordance et la discordance linguistique avec le médecin de famille. La discordance linguistique au service de santé de première ligne suscite une expérience moins favorable en matière de confort, d’accessibilité, de sécurité et de sentiments d’aptitude personnelle. L’offre active de services en français en tenant compte de la préférence linguistique des patients au-delà les apparences du bilinguisme, tout en offrant un environnement de santé de première ligne bilingue (ex. affiches, formulaires) favoriserait une expérience de santé positive pour des Franco-Ontariens.
This article examines the relationship that may exist between the "link to knowledge" and "professional identity" which refers to the process through which the beginning university teacher can or cannot identify himself professionally. These different relationships determine the identity construction process of beginning university teachers, which is constructed in and through his experience. We used the study of "case by case" and "one by one" (Terrisse, 2009) within a clinical didactic methodology. It is about an in depth study of a "singular, divided and subjected" subject which relies on qualitative study method". The data analysis is organised through three important tenses: the already-there, the test and the post-stroke". The originality of our study is to analyse the identity construction process of two beginning university teachers in the region of Tunis, through a crossed case study. The in situ observation of four theoretical, the semi-structured interviews (a priori, ante and post session and post-stroke) and the continent analysis, allow us to unveil the mechanism (conscious and unconscious) of the identity construction of these beginning university teachers as well as its evolutionary and moving dynamics especially at the first years in teaching job.
