The Creation of a Mental Health Policy in Higher Education
The mental wellness of university students can be critical for their success. In an attempt to minimize stress for students, many universities have implemented a policy for a fall break with limited evidence to support its intended outcomes. This case study offers a critical appraisal of the formation of the fall break policy at one medium sized comprehensive university using qualitative and quantitative forms of evidence triangulated from (1) Un…
When and for whom are relative age effects important? evidence from a simple test of cardiorespiratory fitness
OBJECTIVES: When individuals of different ages are combined into a single group and an ability that varies with age is measured, younger individuals are disadvantaged. This phenomenon is known as a relative age effect (RAE) and has been shown to be widespread in sport and education. METHODS: In this article, we examine RAEs in a large group of children tested repeatedly on the 20-m shuttle run, a common test of cardiorespiratory fitness. Followin…
Generalized self‐efficacy and performance on the 20‐metre shuttle run in children
It has been argued that motivation significantly affects the measurement of aerobic capacity when using field tests with children. In this study, the impact of generalized self‐efficacy on performance (Stage Completed) in the Léger shuttle run is examined in a cohort of children ( N = 2,245, 9.38 ± 0.52 years old) in Grade 4 from 75 elementary schools. Children completed the Children's Self‐perceptions of Adequacy in and Predilection for Physical…

Developmental coordination disorder and aerobic fitness
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is characterized by motor inproficiency, resulting in significant impairments in social and/or academic functioning. About 5–9% of all school‐age children are affected. Previous research has shown that children with DCD have lower aerobic fitness levels than children without the disorder, although the reasons for this have not been tested in the literature. A potential explanation may lie in perceived ade…
Differences and Biases in English Language Examination Formats
S ummary . For some time gender differences have been noted in different formats of English language testing. In this study an examination was made of such differences in a Year 12 level examination where both comprehension and composition were tested, the former in both multiple‐choice and extended‐response formats, the latter only in extended‐response format. In addition to considering differences in level of performance, differences in relatio…
