“…Respondents emphasized that they fear not only the short-term practical employment implications of injury but also losing the ability to dance completely and consequently possibly needing to medically retire early. This aligns with previous research that highlighted the disorientation and sense of loss that can come with dance retirement [24], particularly involuntary retirement due to injury [25], and that self-identity can fuse with one's occupation [10]. Dancer career transition is a growing field of research and advocacy, and there is consistent agreement that dancers need to be better supported, both practically and emotionally, in retraining for a career outside of dance performance [26].…”

Background Professional dance is a physically demanding career path with a high injury prevalence, yet an ingrained culture of hiding or pushing through injuries. Developing better knowledge surrounding the cultural beliefs and behaviors related to injury reporting is critical to understand their incidence and burden. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate injury fear and injury reporting behaviors in professional dancers in Australia. Methods This study utilized data collected in a cross-sectional survey of professional dancers in Australia. Descriptive analysis of injury fear and reporting stigma are presented with comparisons between subgroups (full-time versus part-time dancers; men versus women) conducted using two-sided Fisher's exact tests. Results A total of 146 professional dancers were included. Over half (63%) of the respondents reported that they fear sustaining a dance-related injury, that they believe there is still a stigma surrounding injuries in dance (62%), and that this stigma has led to a delay in reporting or seeking care for an injury (51%). A lower proportion of part-time than full-time dancers reported that they would usually tell someone within their dance employment about an injury (35.1% vs. 59.6%, p = 0.006). Conclusion Professional dancers are at risk of losing contracts or roles if they are injured, and therefore, it is common to dance through their occurrence. Many dancers, particularly those dancing part-time, are unwilling to tell their employers about their injuries. Action is required to improve this culture regarding injury reporting and help seeking for more effective injury understanding, prevention, and management in dance.

“…En el caso de los estudiantes de Pedagogía en Música este tipo de dispositivos podría ayudarlos en su proceso de construcción de una identidad profesional (ligada al uso de tecnologías), lo que implicaría un proceso de actualización de metacompetencias. Ese proceso de construcción necesitará una renegociación en la transición de la vida de estudiante al PIANOESCALAFORTE: UNA HERRAMIENTA DIGITAL PARA EL APRENDIZAJE DE ESCALAS EN EL PIANO 122| momento de afrontar el mercado laboral (Juuti & Littleton, 2010, 2012Middleton & Middleton, 2017), lo que podría estar mediado por competencias relacionadas con el uso de TIC.…”

Los músicos tocan una escala musical por la primera vez (pre-test) y luego son expuestos a las distintas modalidades de retroalimentación de la plataforma (visual, auditiva y verbal) mientras perfeccionan la ejecución de la escala hasta realizar una versión final (post-test). Los datos de la performance generados vía formato MIDI y el análisis de los cuestionarios retrospectivos aplicados, indican que PianoEF contribuye al desarrollo de la clase de piano grupal, facilita la retroalimentación y ayuda a los pianistas a mejorar la uniformidad de la ejecución musical en términos de intensidad y de articulación (i.e., legato). Palabras clave: Evaluación de escalas; retroalimentación multimodal; plataforma digital de apoyo al microaprendizaje; piano; MIDI.

“…Career, occupation or status transitions are depicted as a period of change and role redefining that requires a considerable amount of adaptability (Carter and Cook, 1995; Middleton and Middleton, 2017). Specifically, career adaptability or career adaptabilities, what career construction theory depicts (Savickas, 2005), helps individuals promote awareness of self-competence and explore one's career options or opportunities during this transition or unemployment period (Koen et al , 2012; Zikic and Klehe, 2006).…”

PurposeMilitary officials who become accustomed to the distinct culture of the military face a variety of challenges when attempting to transition into the civilian workforce as veterans. These hardships even pertain to short- and mid-term veterans (SMVs) who leave the military at early career stages to pursue alternative career options. In this study, the authors explored the career construction decisions made by South Korean SMVs who left their military careers and successfully transitioned into the civilian workforce.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a phenomenology approach and conducted a semi-structured interview with 19 SMVs to unpack their career transition experiences.FindingsThe authors identified the motivational factors that encourage SMVs to develop their four career adaptabilities and illustrated the necessity for such qualities pre- and post-transition. Furthermore, the authors characterized each individual experience by the theoretical constructs of career adaptability and highlighted the contextual characteristics that prompted the emergence of career adaptability.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of career mobility at early career stages and how career adaptability is developed and manifested in the context of transitioning from the military to civilian society.
