You are the best and your support was invaluable!! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many important people that helped me succeed both directly and indirectly during my doctoral studies. I have appreciated all of the physical and emotional support shown to me in the form of enthusiasm for my work, questions about my progress, and the enormous amounts of time dedicated to helping me succeed over the last six years. First, I would like to thank my dissertation committee for their ongoing support, investment in my work, and the feedback to improve the quality of my final dissertation. To Linda Griffin, my advisor and chairperson, I am grateful for the amount of time you dedicated to helping me achieve success within the Teacher Education and School Improvement (TESI) Program. Also, learning about the Tactical Games Model (TGM) has rejuvenated my excitement for teaching and learning sport in physical education. I look forward to sharing my new knowledge and experiences with preservice teachers, inservice teachers, teacher educators, and researchers interested in exploring the TGM sport experience in physical education. To Judy Placek, my former advisor and committee member, I am thankful that you were such a positive support system from the first day I entered the TESI Program. I really enjoyed our thoughtful discussions about my research on motivation in physical education and your interest in how teachers might benefit from my findings. Your ongoing support and positive approach to addressing my strengths and areas to improve as a researcher kept me on track within the program. To Daniel Gerber, I am grateful for your willingness to join my committee and share your perspectives, as a public health professional, about my work in the areas of motivation and learning in physical education settings. Also, to Nilanjana Dasgupta, I am thankful for your input as a Psychology faculty member during the planning phase of my dissertation. I appreciated our discussions and your feedback about applying motivational theory. Second, I would like to thank my family and friends who continued to cheer me on and inquire about my progress. My love goes out to my wife Karolina, my parents Jan and Fred, and my sister Kelly for being great family, and to Jacek, Danusia, Ola, and Halina for supporting me from abroad in Poland. Also, to my great friends Mark, Pedro, Jeff, Todd, Ryan, Jim, Mark, and Sharon for keeping me sane through laughter, travel, and lifelong friendship. Third, thank you to my peers in the University of Massachusetts Amherst Teacher Education School Improvement (TESI) community.

CARPENTER, B.S., SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE M.S., SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE Ed.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Linda L. Griffin Students benefit from positive sport experiences in physical education. If designed well, sport provides a social avenue for physical activity and strengthens student achievement in psychomotor (e.g., motor skill), cognitive (e.g., decision-making), and affective (e.g., personal and social responsibility) learning domains. Unfortunately, not all students receive quality sport instruction and many students fail to have positive sport experiences in physical education. The Tactical Games Model (TGM, Griffin, Mitchell, & Oslin, 1997) is an instructional model focused on improving student sport experiences. As a constructivist approach to teaching and learning sport, TGM reshapes sport lessons to allow students to experience small-sided games (Game 1), think critically about games playing (Q & A), practice aspects of playing (Situated Practice), and show improvement in games playing (Game 2). TGM literature includes practitioner reports about involvement (Berkowitz, 1996) and findings that show measures of game performance (e.g., skill execution, decision-making) during a TGM sport unit (Allison & Thorpe, 1997; Turner & Martinek, 1999). Limited data is available to explain how the constructivist nature of TGM influences motivation (Griffin & Patton, 2005; Rink, 2001). vii The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine motivation using situational interest theory (Chen, Darst, & Pangrazi, 1999; Mitchell, 1993) to interpret participant – learning situation (Game 1, Q & A, Practice, and Game 2) experiences during an eight-day TGM Ultimate Frisbee unit. The researcher acted as teacher-researcher and participants were 15 fifth graders (assigned to heterogeneous teams) and Mia, the regular physical education teacher and participant-observer. Data were collected using surveys, learning situation questionnaires, interviews, and systematic observations using the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI, Oslin, Mitchell, & Griffin, 1998). Data analysis incorporated open and axial coding (Strauss & Corbin, 1998), theoretical comparisons (Strauss & Corbin, 1998), and concept mapping (Rossman & Rallis, 2003). Findings show that participants‟: (a) participated in daily lessons regardless of gender, goal orientation, skill/effort level, and personal interest in Ultimate, (b) were excited to play

  • Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism
    Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism This book examines the impact of the “Big Five” technology companies – Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries. It looks at the current role of algorithms and artifi- cial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news. Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution, and con- sumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journal- ism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the Internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age. The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally. It will also be useful to those who are looking for ex- tended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post. Jason Whittaker is the Head of the School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln. He worked for 15 years as a tech journalist and has written extensively on magazine journalism and digital media, most recently as the co-editor of the collection Online Journalism in Africa (2013) and as the author of Magazine Production (2016).

  • The Internet and Professional Journalism: Content, Practice and Values in Irish Online News
    The Internet and professional journalism: content, practice and values in Irish online news John O’Sullivan, B.Comm., PgDip. in Journalism, M.A. in Communication (research) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the award of PhD in Communication Dublin City University School of Communications Supervisor: Dr Patrick Brereton July 2011 I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of PhD in Communication is entirely my own work, that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ____________ (Candidate) ID No.: 98970011 Date: _______ ii Abstract Journalism’s encounter with the Internet has engendered a multi-layered debate concerning the place of established news media and its practitioners in public communication. The Internet and its affordances re-animate familiar themes in discussions of journalism, not least concerning power relations, gate-keeping and objectivity claims. In many popular and some academic analyses, so-called ‘traditional’ journalism is under examination because of economic forces driving the development of digital networked media, but also because the univocal nature of older media, with its enclosed culture, is considered at odds with the potential of a reconstituted public sphere founded in the open, interactive system of emerging spaces. This study, related to a wider European research project, investigates the inter- meshing of Irish journalism’s professional output, practices and normative values, as materialized online and as expressed in the opinions and attitudes of practising journalists as expert respondents, with the potentialities of the Internet.
