As a practitioner in an obesity related field we should communicate physical activity guidelines to the patients/clients we work with. This is standard. Now that you have expanded your knowledge and have a better understanding of sedentary time, what information would you share with your clients about physical activity and sedentary behavior? Discuss what your comprehensive message would be to clients to help them understand how they should spend their time in terms of activity.   

Standing Classrooms, Integrating movement into classroom based learning, Recess before lunch, Running/Walking Clubs, Remote Drop Off and Pick Up, - Research an intervention used in schools to increase PA or decrease sedentary time (such as those listed above), describe it, discuss if it has been shown to be impactful, what are the strengths and the weaknesses?

Many schools around the US are cutting back on PE and recess time. What factors are contributing to these cuts?  On average how much physical activity are children getting in school?  What would be your argument about keeping and even expanding PE and recess times?

The article “Barriers to Physical Activity” discusses common barriers to PA and looks at the influence of age, sex, activity level. Select one of the Barriers from this study, look up evidence-based strategies to help people overcome that barrier, and share a successful strategy with the group.

Research supports Piaget’s view that children actively try to understand the world around them and organize their knowledge (Flavell, 1996), and this view has been a rich source of ideas about ways for teachers and parents to foster children’s development. The theory identifies several specific conditions that promote cognitive growth:

Cognitive growth occurs as children construct their understanding of the world, so teachers should create environments in which children can discover how the world works. A teacher shouldn’t tell children how addition and subtraction are complementary but instead should help children discover the complementarity themselves.

Children profit from experience only when they can interpret this experience with their current cognitive structures. The best teaching experiences are just ahead of the children’s current level of thinking. As youngsters begin to master basic addition, teachers and parents should not jump right to subtraction but instead should go to slightly more difficult addition problems.

Cognitive growth can be particularly rapid when children discover inconsistencies and errors in their thinking. Teachers should encourage children to look at the consistency of their thinking. If a child is making mistakes in borrowing on subtraction problems, a teacher should encourage the child to look at many errors to discover what he or she is doing wrong.

If you are a preschool or elementary school teacher, how will you use the work of Piaget to structure and design your classroom to promote maximum cognitive growth in your students?

Mrs. Martino is teaching her students about adding and subtracting. One student, Brianna, continually fails to recognize that adding and subtracting are complementary processes; that is, they are the opposite of each other. What would Piaget say Mrs. Martino should do about this to best help Brianna learn?

The Case of the

Cheating Law Student

The Case

You are a pre-law student who will graduate at the end of the current semester. Your academic record has been impressive. You have not only earned excellent grades but have accumulated a variety of scholastic merits as well as glowing accolades from professors and fellow peers.

Recently, you were informed from a highly selective law school that you have won a very prestigious scholarship. Although your tuition, books, and living costs will be covered by the scholarship, the benefits of this award reach far beyond the walls of the law school campus. Since the early 20th Century, the same New York City law firm has sponsored this scholarship with the ultimate goal of identifying and fostering new, young talent within the arena of jurisprudence. The winner of the scholarship is, upon graduation from law school, guaranteed a position in this well-known, established law firm.

Unfortunately, however, the last semester of your undergraduate career has proven to be an exhausting one. While you are doing well in three of your classes, your last pre-law required course – Introduction to Legal Ethics – is giving you great difficulty. You are very much in jeopardy of earning a grade in this class that will pull your grade average below the scholarship requirement. In order for you to successfully secure the scholarship, your final term paper must be of ‘A+’ quality. Despite all your hard work and the extra help you have received throughout the semester, it is apparent that your term paper is not quite good enough to earn you the needed grade.

Moreover, your situation is compounded by the fact that your family cannot afford to put you through law school. Therefore, without this scholarship, your goal of becoming a lawyer will never be fulfilled. What is more, your mother is extremely ill and your younger brother, due to a serious learning disability, is in dire need of a private tutor. Both your mother’s medication and your brother’s tutorials will cost more than your family can afford. However, if you receive the scholarship, it is very likely that you will be able to help your father acquire what your mother and brother need.

After a great deal of thought, you make the decision to purchase an ‘A+’ paper from someone else and to submit it as your own work. In the end, the paper you handed in earned you the required ‘A+’, thus guaranteeing that you will win the prestigious law school scholarship.
