description: Background: Globally, two billion workers are employed informally but there is limited research on the relationship between informal work and health. Existing studies have focused on informality as an employment condition, with little emphasis on the diversity of physical and social contexts in which informal work takes place. The study considers the diversity of informal workplaces and explores the ways in which this diversity might influence health and well-being of two informal occupational groups in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar. Methods: We conducted 21 field observations and 47 semi-structured interviews with street vendors and home-based garment workers based in Yangon, Myanmar. A constant comparative method was used to identify and compare how the physical characteristics of their informal workplaces affect their health for these two informal subgroups. Results: Although both street vendors and home-based garment workers work informally, their exposure to occupational health and income risks are specific to the physical features of their informal workplaces. Street vendors, who work in public spaces with minimal coverage, are more likely to experience the direct effects of outdoor pollution, inclement weather and ergonomic risks from lifting, carrying and transporting heavy merchandise while home-based garment workers, many of whom live and work in unsanitary housing and deprived neighborhoods, are more likely to experience pollution in or near their homes, and ergonomic risks from poor posture. Similarly, although both groups face safety challenges, street vendors face urban violence and abuse during their commute and at vending points whereas home-based garment workers felt unsafe in their home-based workplaces due to the presence of crime and violence in their neighborhoods. Conclusion: While informal employment is universally characterized by lack of social protection, exposure to occupational health and income risks for subpopulations of informal workers is determined by the specific physical and social environments of their workplaces. Efforts to improve the health of informal workers should consider the contexts in which informal work takes place to develop tailored interventions for subpopulations of informal workers.

Influence of Nozzle Material and Spray Parameters on Pure Aluminum and Aluminum 7075 coatings using Cold Gas Dynamic Spray
Creators: name: Leblanc Robert, Samuel
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2016

description: Commercial airplanes are still using aluminum alloys as their primary structural material. Even if the used carbon fiber reinforced polymers is becoming more popular due to their extremely high strength to weight ratio, the majority of the existing flying fleet is still made out of aluminum alloys. This material was primarily used due to its high strength to weight ratio, ease to machine, excellent corrosion resistance properties and its high crash energy absorption. Aircraft components made of aluminum alloys are subjected to high stresses and harsh environments during flight, potentially leading them to crack and/or corrode. Presently, there is no industrial approved method to repair these components. Recycling damaged aircraft parts by repairing them would result in large cost savings for the industry. The present study was motivated by the potential use of the cold gas dynamic spray (CGDS) process to repair damaged aluminum 7075-T6 aircraft components. Two feedstock materials were used to repair this alloy in this research: pure aluminum and aluminum 7075. Pure aluminum is used in the aircraft industry on non-bearing components due to its extremely high corrosion resistance properties. Aluminum 7075 is the material of choice for structural applications due to its high strength. The results of this study show that CGDS could be potentially used to repair aluminum components on aircrafts. However, this research demonstrated that new commercially available equipments need to be further developed to successfully produce repaired components that meet the industry standards.

description: This thesis, Exploring Student Accommodation in Australia: Towards an Integrated Approach explores tertiary students' housing needs and requirements in Australia. In recent times, Australia's higher education sector witnessed increase in enrolments of both domestic and overseas students. The student population grew from 700,000 students in 2001 to 1.3million in 2013. Aside from the growth in student population, greater diversity is found in the student population. For example, the number of women who are now studying has increased from 27.1 per cent in 1970 to 57.9 per cent in 2013. There has also been a large increase in the number of mature age students accessing higher education, increase in international students' enrolment as well as students from families in which a university education has not been the norm (referred to as first in family).

description: Elevated tissue levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been associated with complication development in diabetes patients. Recent studies indicate that certain foods are rich sources of AGEs and that dietary AGE intake is associated with serum AGE levels and complication development in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Since dietary patterns are established during childhood, AGE monitoring and interventions to reduce dietary AGE intakes may produce long-term health benefits in diabetic children. However, no instruments for the assessment of dietary AGE intake in children currently exist. The primary aim of this research was to develop and pilot a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for the assessment of dietary AGE intakes in Australian children (9-16 years of age) with and without T1DM. A 123-item semi-quantitative FFQ comprised of foods known to be high in AGEs was piloted in a group of 18 children with T1DM, and in 21 Non-T1DM children within the same age group. The dietary AGE intake questionnaire (AGE-Q) was developed using a U.S. database of food AGE levels. Dietary AGE intakes tended to be lower in the T1DM children (median 9466 x103 units/day) than the Non-T1DM children (median 16118 x103 units/day). In both groups, the major contributors to dietary AGE intake belonged to the 'meats' and 'extras' food categories, which combined accounted for 80% of dietary AGE intake. T1DM children had a lower AGE intake from fast foods than Non-T1DM children, despite their more frequent fast food consumption. The pilot AGE-Q provided an assessment of dietary AGEs suitable for ranking T1DM and Non-T1DM children according to dietary AGE intakes and identified major dietary sources of AGE. The results of this pilot study were used to refine the questionnaire. After further validation studies, the modified AGE-Q should be a valuable monitoring tool for intervention studies designed to reduce dietary AGE intakes in this age group.

description: A spatial-temporal model is developed for modelling the impacts of simulated coastal zone storm surge and flooding using a combined spatial mapping and system dynamics approach. By coupling geographic information systems (GIS) and system dynamics, the interconnecting components of the spatial-temporal model are used with limited historical data to evaluate storm damage. Overlapping cumulative effects layers in GIS (ArcMap) are used for describing the coastal community’s profile, and a system dynamics feedback model (STELLA) is developed to define the interconnecting component relationships of the community. The component-wise changes to the physical environment, community infrastructure, and socioeconomic resources from the storm surge and seal level rise are examined. These changes are used to assess the impacts of the community system as a whole. For the purpose of illustrating this model, the research is applied specifically to the case of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, a vulnerable coastal city subject to considerable impacts from pending sea level rise and more frequent severe storm surge attributed to the changing climate in the coastal zone.

description: The use of pressure redistribution cushions in the community is widespread, however little evidence is available to support users, clinicians, and policy makers to determine which pressure redistribution cushions are clinically effective when used at home on a client’s own armchair. This is an important issue due to the high occurrence of pressure injuries in the community, with a 2017 survey of clients in community and outpatient services in NSW finding a pressure injury prevalence of 9.3%. Further, this survey found that these pressure injuries were significantly more severe than those occurring in an inpatient setting with the most likely place for pressure injury being the buttocks and sacrum. Due to the detrimental impact of pressure injuries on patient care, these findings support the need for research in this area (Clinical Excellence Commission, 2018).
description: This thesis explores the use of pressure redistribution cushions (PRCs) on armchairs in a community practice context and the feasibility of using a portable testing rig to gather interface pressure (IP) data to inform selection of PRCs for use in this context. The vast range of PRCs and armchairs available necessitates a method to collect representative cushion performance data without the challenges of large sale data collection with human participants. An accurate and standardised bench testing process will assist clinicians, manufacturers, and funding bodies in the identification of clinically effective cushions for use in client’s chairs. This approach will enable clinicians and clients to work in partnership to choose the most appropriate cushion for the client’s individual needs.

description: I am back after two long journeys to India, regional and then remote Australia. I return with a question on my mind: What might Indian and Chinese designers learn about sustainability from Aboriginal natural dyers and weavers? This past June and July as part of the Swinburne's Living Blue Oz project, I co-hosted twelve Chinese, three Indian, and five Melbourne-based designers, including myself, for a two weeks cultural exchange focused on Aboriginal sustainability through natural dyeing and weaving. We now have had the time to reflect on our experiences. Subrata Bhowmick, one of India's most awarded designers, provide the answer to my question in a recent telephone discussion: be rooted! It is the total experience of being rooted. And what was important is the rooted person, who was the medium. She gave us direction but not instruction. So then we could take our own paths.

description: Quantum Information Holography (QIH) utilizes the holographic code, derived from black hole properties such as mass, charge, and spin. This framework reveals that the encoded information in the quantum state vectors (QSV's) emitted from black holes correctly describes and predicts the behavior of fundamental particles, aligning with empircal data from CERN. QIH also provides a unified approach to describing quantum gravity, linking the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics with the geometric framework of general relativity, offering a comprehensive model that encapsulates both quantum and gravitational phenomena.

description: Errors in injectable medication administration are a major concern for patients, healthcare providers, and organisations. Injectable medications pose a greater risk of errors and patient harm due to the high-risk nature, fast systemic update, and limited space for labelling. The Signal detection theory can be applied to medication labelling to improve decision-making in the face of numerous distractions. An I-Check device was developed to enhance medication labels using light, magnification, and colour contrast, to counteract challenges faced in health settings.
description: This study aimed to investigate the impact of the I-Check device on medication administration. A randomised trial was employed to test the I-Check in a simulated setting. The goal was to determine if the I-Check influenced the reading speed, accuracy and ease of reading injectable medication labels. The RCT found statistically significant results in increased reading speed when using the I-Check in participants aged 24+. A mixed methodology was employed in a hospital-based trial. This included the quantitative measurement of light where medication activities took place and qualitative field interviews to further understand clinicians’ perspective of the issues regarding reading injectable medication labels and features of the I-Check that impacted the reading of injectable medications. The hospital trial revealed that light levels in healthcare settings, where medications are prepared, checked, and administered often varied and did not meet standards. The I-Check was universally accepted by participants without hindering medication administration. The findings suggest a need for increased awareness and maintenance of light levels in healthcare organisations.
description: The I-Check device could be implemented in numerous locations where injectable medications are administered. Staff awareness programs should be developed, including information on the risks of misreading medications are the prevention of errors. Future research should investigate medication error rates before and after I-check implementation to determine its effectiveness in clinical settings.

description: The long-term survival of the koala is under serious threat. Apart from the human-induced factors of habitat destruction, road accidents and domestic dogs, two infectious diseases pose major threats to koala survival. Although Chlamydia is the "most visible" of these infectious threats koala retrovirus (KoRV) is also important. KoRV infects the majority of Australia's koalas, with only some Victorian and South Australian koalas being KoRV negative (and these numbers are decreasing every year with new research). KoRV has been strongly linked to life threatening diseases such as lymphoma and leukemia. In addition to losses in wild koalas, some zoos have very high koala losses due to these diseases. While quarantine and antiretroviral drug treatment are possible control measures, they are impractical, leaving vaccination as the only realistic option in controlling KoRV infection and associated diseases. This PhD study was therefore set up to develop a vaccine with therapeutic properties to protect koalas against KoRV.

description: Context: Rectal cancer treatment decisions involve tradeoffs between outcomes like living with a permanent stoma versus long-term bowel dysfunction. The needs of rectal cancer patients and practitioners to partake in shared decision making are unknown. For such a complex decision, a patient decision aid that prepares patients to make informed, values-based decisions is warranted. Methods: 1) A systematic review, to characterize the prevalence of long-term dysfunction 2) Needs assessments, conducted with rectal cancer patients and practitioners, 3) Development of a decision aid. Results: 1) Significant variability exists in reporting rectal cancer outcomes. The rate of bowel dysfunction is high. 2) Rectal cancer patients recall little of the outcomes discussed preoperatively. They do not perceive having any surgical options. Practitioners are inconsistently engaging patients in shared decision-making. 3) A patient decision aid was developed that a) incorporated systematic review results and; b) addressed the needs, barriers and facilitators raised. Conclusions: Shared decision-making in rectal cancer surgery is limited. A decision aid to improve patient decision-making was developed.

description: As systems become more complex, early detection of disruption is needed to better anticipate events that could have second and third order of magnitude consequences. The overall research explores disruption, whether or not disruption can be anticipated, and what role our own human behavior plays, with a goal of enhancing early detection that can lead to better scenario planning. The research 1) connects gaps in theoretical and applied research through developing an understanding of the pre-cursors to disruption using four cases studies that explore disruption through qualitative and quantitative data; 2) connects Futures Studies and Neuroscience in an effort to better understand how the human brain contributes to disruption; 3) connects trans-disciplinary research to understand asymmetry as a precursor to disruption; and 4) proposes a 7-step process for identifying asymmetry as a precursor to disruption. The thesis argues that human behavior, as understood more deeply through Neuroscience, provides deeper insights in helping us better understand how the brain contributes to disruption and its role as the ultimate anticipatory system. The research concludes that asymmetry, as a prelude to disruption, often masquerades discretely behind the scenes and that, as humans, we unknowingly telegraph our behaviour in every move, expression, investment, use of technology, buying preference, or other activity. The thesis contends that human behaviour, as understood more deeply through Neuroscience, provides deeper insights in helping us better understand how the brain contributes to disruption and its role as the ultimate anticipatory system. The thesis concludes that early identification of disruption, by utilizing asymmetry as a precursor, can be an essential tool, much like detecting the first winter freeze before it happens, and that taking advantage of each stage of the process may open new doors for futurists and strategists to rethink scenarios. It also suggests that evidence of asymmetry in connected complex systems may rise commensurately with increasing energy in the system and be more readily identifiable through an asymmetry detection process. By identifying asymmetry prior to disruption, we may envisage a broader array of asymmetric scenarios, and by broadening the range of asymmetric scenarios, we in turn, may create more realistic opportunities for strategy to be developed to address the increasing vastness of connected systemic complexity and potentially create opportunities for advance detection and energetic release. The research puts forth a process/framework for identifying asymmetry as a precursor to disruption.

Subjects: UWB Wimedia WUSB QoS

description: Our study investigates the performance of the WUSB standards and compares it to the Wimedia Standard. To the best of our knowledge, no technical contributions exist in the open literature at present simulating WUSB and its performance. The study showed that WUSB can achieve better throughput when bursting is enabled at the maximum burst size and it provides more accurate timing control of device activity than using the standard facilities of the WiMedia MAC. Our study also addresses protocol extensions and improvement to the original WUSB standard to support better Quality of Service (QoS). First improvement enables a di erent reservation mechanism along with contention based access to support higher priority security and medical system monitoring applications. Second improvement enables the host device to use an adaptive packet loss technique to change the packet size dynamically during the data transmission to achieve packet loss less than 10%. Third improvement enables redundancy in the cluster by adding a backup host to prevent mobility failures and changes. This backup host is chosen by a prede ned cost weighting function.
Geriatric stroke care in the Emergency Department: The Geriatric Emergency Department Intervention model of care and its implications for stroke and transient ischemic attack patients

description: Objective: The aim of this thesis is to examine if a targeted geriatric model for adults aged 70 years and over, has an effect on the health service outcomes of stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients presenting to the emergency department.
description: Design: An integrative review of the literature was performed in order to identify any gaps in the literature and determine the feasibility of the study. Following the literature review, a re-analyses was performed on data which was collected as part of the Geriatric Emergency Department Intervention (GEDI) pragmatic trial to examine if the GEDI model of service delivery, for adults aged 70 years and over, had an effect on the health service outcomes of stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients presenting to the emergency department, of a regional hospital in Queensland.
description: Findings: A significant gap in the literature was identified relating to elderly stroke populations. Targeted nursing interventions were shown to improve acute stroke care in the emergency department and in stroke units. The study found that older adults, presenting to hospital with a suspected stroke during the periods when the GEDI model was implemented, experienced reduced emergency department length of stay, reduced in-patient length of stay and subsequent costs. Fewer stroke patients were admitted to hospital post intervention and there was an increase in transient ischaemic attack patients being discharged home from the emergency department post intervention. These findings suggest that the GEDI may have some use in improving stroke care for older patients in the emergency department.
description: The outcomes of this study contribute to current knowledge relating to the care of geriatric stroke and transient ischaemic attack patients in the emergency dependant, identifies gaps in the literature and identifies areas for future research. Particularly for regional and rural health services without a dedicated nursing model of care for stroke patients. Future research should be conducted across multiple sites in regional and remote areas and be of a randomised design where feasible.

description: The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of visualization of natural phenomena via computer simulation and manipulations of concrete objects, in a physics laboratory, on the development of students’ inquiry skills in mechanics. A quasi-experimental method that employed the 2 Learning Tools x 2 Time of learning split-plot factorial design was applied in the study. The sample consisted of 54 Grade 11 students from two physics classes of the university preparation section in the Ottawa-Catholic School Board. One class was assigned to interactive computer simulations (treatment) and the other to concrete objects in physics laboratory (control) as learning tools. Both tools were embedded in the general framework of the guided-inquiry cycle approach. The results showed that the interaction effect of the Learning Tools x Time of learning was not statistically significant. However, the results also showed a significant effect on the development of students’ inquiry skills (indicated by the pre- and post-inquiry skills test) regardless of the type of learning tool they had used. The findings suggested that these two strategies are effective in developing students’ inquiry skills in mechanics.

description: Background Understanding the resilience of healthcare is critically important. A resilient healthcare system might be expected to consistently deliver high quality care, withstand disruptive events and continually adapt, learn and improve. However, there are many different theories, models and definitions of resilience and most are contested and debated in the literature. Clear and unambiguous conceptual definitions are important for both theoretical and practical considerations of any phenomenon, and resilience is no exception. A large international research programme on Resilience in Healthcare (RiH) is seeking to address these issues in a 5-year study across Norway, England, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, and Switzerland (2018–2023). The aims of this debate paper are: 1) to identify and select core operational concepts of resilience from the literature in order to consider their contributions, implications, and boundaries for researching resilience in healthcare; and 2) to propose a working definition of healthcare resilience that underpins the international RiH research programme. Main text To fulfil these aims, first an overview of three core perspectives or metaphors that underpin theories of resilience are introduced from ecology, engineering and psychology. Second, we present a brief overview of key definitions and approaches to resilience applicable in healthcare. We position our research program with collaborative learning and user involvement as vital prerequisite pillars in our conceptualisation and operationalisation of resilience for maintaining quality of healthcare services. Third, our analysis addresses four core questions that studies of resilience in healthcare need to consider when defining and operationalising resilience. These are: resilience ‘for what’, ‘to what’, ‘of what’, and ‘through what’? Finally, we present our operational definition of resilience. Conclusion The RiH research program is exploring resilience as a multi-level phenomenon and considers adaptive capacity to change as a foundation for high quality care. We, therefore, define healthcare resilience as: the capacity to adapt to challenges and changes at different system levels, to maintain high quality care. This working definition of resilience is intended to be comprehensible and applicable regardless of the level of analysis or type of system component under investigation.

description: Human impacts have reduced the extent, quality, and connectedness of terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems globally, resulting in an increased demand for effective conservation and management actions like ecological restoration, invasive species management, and protected area establishment. The efficacy of conservation and management approaches is underpinned by systematic planning based on quantitative ecological information to identify goals, locations, and actions. However, studies establishing key spatial patterns in ecosystems are required so that quantitative approaches can be optimised and monitored. Indicator taxa are an increasingly recognised technique for quantifying patterns across ecosystems and landscapes. For example, insect and arachnids are widely accepted ecological indicators to assess for impacts to disturbance and changes in environmental conditions, but quantitative studies identifying indicator insect and arachnid taxa remain lacking for some ecosystems. Ecological restoration and the implementation of reserves are key pillars of biodiversity conservation, but the capacity to optimise their implementation and management is hindered by a lack of the knowledge for current and potential biodiversity, especially for highly diverse groups like insects and arachnids. Coastal dunes are prime examples of ecosystems where human impacts have affected biodiversity and ecosystem services, and so strategic management actions are required, but key information on species distributions remains lacking. In this thesis, coastal dunes in southeast Queensland, Australia were used as a model system to test for effects of landscape and environmental features, human impacts and conservation actions on the biodiversity of plants and insects and arachnids to optimise monitoring and management for these ecosystems.

description: The study addresses a largely unrecognised dimension of parental alienation, namely the social impacts on the parent rejected by their child. Parental alienation is typically understood as a form of child psychological abuse and family violence. It occurs when a favoured-alienating parent manipulates and coerces their children to use irrational and unfounded reasons to reject their other, targeted alienated parent. Parental alienation harms alienated children, and silences, stigmatises and marginalises parents whose children have rejected them.
description: The literature formulates parental alienation as child psychological abuse or a mental health condition in alienated children. There has been little research into how the targeted-alienated parent experiences parental alienation. The available research focuses on the psychological and emotional impacts of parental alienation with little consideration given to the power relations in the family and the social factors influencing family relationships and behaviours. This study addresses this with a critical realist and social constructionist methodology using a mixed methods design. The research methods include a survey of targeted-alienated parents; indepth interviews that invite participants’ consideration of sociological concepts for describing their experiences; and researcher reflectivity. A social justice orientation to the research leads to an enquiry into the social dimensions of targeted-alienated parents’ lived experiences using social alienation and stigma consciousness.
Connected Mobile Sensors for Self-Deployment

description: A Mobile Sensor Networks (MSNs) is normally made up of a number of mobile sensors which can be placed in a region of interest (ROI) by people. Sensors communicate with each other through wireless links to perform the distributed sensing ability for covering a region. Through a specific algorithm, the sensors move automatically, and finally the sensor network achieves a large sensing coverage. Sensing coverage can be established and promoted by different algorithms, and a good algorithm can lead sensors to form the largest possible sensing area without any sensing holes (areas that cannot be detected or monitored). The coverage of a sensor network is defined as the total area of interest covered, minus the area of the sensing holes. We introduce a novel algorithm called the Spanning Tree-based Greedy-Rotation-Back (STGRB). The traditional Greedy-Rotation-Greedy (GRG) algorithm uses a point as a specific start so it's not appropriate for practical circumstances. So in the STGRB, we first use a spanning tree algorithm to get the gravity center (the sensor that connects the most sensors or is physically close to most of the other sensors) of the network. In this way we eliminate the first condition of selecting a sensor as a start point and also we conserve the energy of the sensors via letting them move a shorter distance.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate binary discourses of self and other constructed by Canadian media in the representation of Saudi women. One of the modest aims of this research is to expound on the status of centralized media coverage in Canada. Drawing on Hegel’s model of dialectics, as framed by Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) and David Nikkel’s conception of a moderate postmodernism, this research also aims at contributing to the ongoing modern-postmodern discussion by delineating and examining the ways in which dialectical analysis can aid in the deconstruction of metanarratives in Western culture. Utilizing a qualitative research design that employs multidimensional modes of textual analysis, the thesis examined the changes in the portrayal of Saudi Women through a non-probability sampling of 88 Canadian newspaper articles selected from the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, and National post between 2001-2009. One major finding was that the metanarratives guiding these representations did not change significantly despite changes in narratives as brought about by several major political events. The implications of this thesis revealed what the ideological influences framing these depictions, as well as whether or not the changes that they have undergone, were self-reifying in nature. The research also highlighted the implications resulting from assessing the ontological identities of Saudi women vis-à-vis a Western framework of values.

description: Archives are increasingly recognised as important tools in the truth-telling process. Often these same archives have been created without the consideration for Indigenous peoples’ selfdetermination and are sites of symbolic annihilation (Caswell, Cifor and Ramirez, 2016; Caswell et al., 2017; O’Sullivan, 2020). This research examines archives from an Indigenous user standpoint. It uses Indigenous research methodologies of Yarning and community-centred research to examine the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in institutional archives. This research provides an original contribution to knowledge through its unique framework to understand the many sites of symbolic annihilation in archives. The research is presented via two outputs: a creative artefact in the form of a mini-documentary series, exhibited in a curated gallery space; and this supporting exegesis. The exegesis includes a literature review that situates this research within the growing recognition of Indigenous rights in relation to archives, specifically right to know, right of reply, Indigenous cultural and intellectual property (ICIP) and Indigenous data sovereignty, but also, within the broader context of the evolving world of socially just archives. Underpinning the review and subsequent analysis of archives are the theoretical lenses of critical race theory and feminist standpoint theory, each of which were applied
description: within an Indigenous standpoint ontological and epistemological framework. This framework was applied to a case study of the K’gari Research Archive (KRA), which holds records about Butchulla Country. The analysis of the KRA, which includes perspectives of Butchulla community members, found that combatting symbolic annihilation requires Indigenous worldviews be applied throughout the record life. To provide structure to this analysis this I use the records continuum model. I specifically focus on the Identity axis of the records continuum model and in doing so foreground the issue of decision-making authority in the life of records. I argue that to prevent symbolic annihilation of Indigenous peoples in records, archives must include Indigenous worldviews in decision-making at all stages of the record’s life. In doing so archives can support both nations and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on their truth-telling journey.
Étude du processus de communication entraîneur-joueurs en soccer.

description: En coaching, la communication, élément essentiel du processus enseignement-apprentissage, permet l'échange d'informations entre l'entraîneur et l'athlète. Au cours des vingt dernières années, plusieurs chercheurs en pédagogie sportive ont étudié les comportements des entraîneurs, mais peu d'entre eux ont cherché à comprendre le rôle de l'athlète. Le but de la présente recherche était, par une approche inductive, d'étudier le processus de communication en sport en considérant à la fois le point de vue des entraîneurs et le point de vue des joueurs. Trois équipes de soccer semi-compétitives composées de garçons de 12 et 15 ans furent étudiées. Les données furent recueillies par des enregistrements sur bandes vidéo, des notes de terrain et des entrevues. En début de saison, deux joueurs et l'entraîneur de chaque équipe furent interviewés afin d'obtenir un premier aperçu de leur perception de la communication entraîneur joueurs. Durant la saison, plusieurs séances d'entraînement et plusieurs matchs furent observés et des entrevues furent effectuées avec les entraîneurs et les joueurs de chaque équipe dans le but de bien comprendre le processus de communication tel qu'il se déroule dans l'action.
