Real-world trial of positive youth development program “LifeMatters” with South African adolescents in a low-resource setting
Positive youth development (PYD) programs have significant health and well-being benefits, but these are rarely examined in low- or middle-income countries such as South Africa. LifeMatters is a 10-session PYD program combining elements of sport psychology and cognitive behavioural theory. We conducted a pragmatic trial of LifeMatters, implemented by trained university student facilitators with three groups of South African adolescents (n = 28; a…
Building an authentic cultural curriculum through tertiary cultural dance
This study identified a range of pedagogies developed to promote global citizenship within a university Latin American dance unit. It implemented changes to teaching and learning approaches in the unit using the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) 5E Instructional Model, supporting learning that privileges transcultural connections to Latin America. The action research used a range of dance teaching pedagogies that were adapted, and evalu…
Team-building activities in dance classes and discoveries from reflective essays
The purpose of this study was to determine students’ perceptions of team-building activities within a university Latin dance course. Students (N = 30) completed an evaluation of the team-building activities and wrote reflective essays about their experiences in the course. The course consisted of twenty 90-minute classes. In the third class students were provided an information sheet describing the research. In the fourth class the students compl…
Participants’ physical activity levels and evaluations of a school sport programme in Papua New Guinea
In its contemporary form, sport for development has been positioned as an important part of strategic policy for a variety of governmental and sporting organisations. One area that has been targeted by governments and a variety of sporting partners has been the impact of sport on non-communicable diseases (NCDs, sometimes colloquially referred to as ‘lifestyle diseases’ such as obesity). However, relatively little evidence exists for the impact o…
Psychological Skills Training for Athletes With Disabilities
This article provides practical tips for psychologists working with athletes with disabilities. Minor modifications are potentially needed when teaching psychological skills to athletes with physical disabilities. For example, the tension phase of progressive muscular relaxation may be problematic for individuals with cerebral palsy, progressive muscular relaxation scripts may need to be modified to account for missing or inactive limbs, and the …
Assessing Self- and Peer-assessment
Self- and peer-assessment are being used increasingly in higher education, to help assign grades to students' work and to help students to learn more effectively. However, in spite of this trend there is little in the published literature on how students view these methods. In this paper we present an analysis of the views of a large number of students (N = 233) who had just experienced self- and peer-feedback as part of one of their subjects. It…
Psychological skills training for competitive wheelchair and amputee athletes
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a mental skills training program for athletes with physical disabilities. A group of six internationally competitive wheelchair and amputee athletes participated in a mental skills training program which was developed on the basis of their self-reported psychological skills. The program included goal setting, controlling arousal levels, developing concentration and attention skills, imagery, …
