The overall purpose of this study was to create a model of positive youth development (PYD) through sport grounded in the extant qualitative literature. More specifically, the first objective was to review and evaluate qualitative studies of PYD in sport. The second objective was to analyze and synthesize findings from these studies. Following record identification and screening, 63 articles we...

The emerging dominance of lean and agile techniques is resulting in a worldwide trend towards shorter product cycles, with smaller lead times and shorter production runs. Simulation is a time-consuming processes and data collection is such a major part of the time period of such a cycle. This paper introduces the circuit of observation concepts which provide a massively reduced cycle time for d...

It is generally assumed that students best learn mathematics and science by doing mathematics and science. Concrete experiences are considered as a good way to start the study of any topic in mathematics and science. The teacher’s job is to help students move from the concrete to the abstract, and vice versa. In this paper we will describe how data video and computer modelling can support the p...
