Taylor & Francis Ltd The Realities of Completing a PhD
Book SynopsisThe Realities of Completing a PhD gives a balanced and evidence-based view of the realities of PhD life. Full of practical tips and including a checklist to complete before sending an application, the book helps prospective PhD students prepare for the realities of taking on a PhD from an informed basis and offers guidance on submitting a well-planned application. This is the first book of its kind to bring together a range of international data that helps to paint a more balanced picture of the PhD process. The book outlines different types of PhD, how to select a topic for a PhD, how to write a robust research proposal and application, and the realities of PhD study in relation to student wellbeing, social commitments and employment prospects. By considering the issues raised in this book, students are less likely to be overwhelmed by the PhD process, and better equipped to complete their award. The book will be invaluable for potential doctoralTrade Review"The drive over recent years by governments, funders and universities to expand PhD provision has brought many benefits, in terms of high-value knowledge and skills. But it has also meant a far smaller proportion of PhD graduates remain in academia, and end up taking those skills elsewhere. From an economic policy perspective, this is positive. From a personal perspective, it still too often results in a mismatch between expectations and outcomes for PhD students, which can be exacerbated by wider problems around career progression, workload, mental health, diversity and inclusion. PhD students need access to data and evidence that can enable them to make informed choices - about the benefits and opportunities of doctoral training, and about the challenges they may encounter along the way, and when they graduate. In this valuable book, Nicholas Rowe successfully combines those macro and micro perspectives. "The Realities of Completing a PhD" is both a practical guide and trusty companion to anyone contemplating or undertaking doctoral training, and a cogent analysis of the PhD system itself. At a time when research cultures and researcher wellbeing are the focus of unprecedented and welcome scrutiny, this book shines a light on the changing realties of PhD study in the 2020s. I’ll be recommending it to all my PhD students."James Wilsdon, Professor of Research Policy, University of Sheffield (UK) and Director, Research on Research Institute (RoRI)."As an academic who has had the suspicion that something is amiss in the institution that is the PhD, it has been hard to put a finger on the source of the problem. After all, many factors play a role, and good/universal data on the topic is not easily found, even with an earnest look. In "The Realities of Completing a PhD," Nicholas Rowe provides the most comprehensive compilation of statistical data to date to address both these anecdotes and unknowns. The tone is overall factual (and often sobering) and written with informative caution for career decision-making, as any good book on the topic should be. In addition, the latter half of the book provides important guidance on how to navigate choosing a program and path, ensuring a better-prepared matriculant. Importantly, the lessons and truths revealed span the breadth of the academe, and are transposable to whatever field of inquiry to which a student aspires.I highly recommend that mentors and prospective graduate students alike read this book to become better informed about the process of obtaining a PhD, the pitfalls that come with the process, and strategies for approaching the endeavor. I will be recommending it to my advisees who are considering graduate study, and you should, too."Michael Parker, PhD, Assistant Dean of Georgetown College, Georgetown University."The realities of completing a PhD: How to plan for success is a timely book in an era when higher education has been evolving in response to changing economic, professional, and social developments. Rowe’s book is particularly needed and valuable for both potential doctoral applicants and university faculty and staff. It is engaging and contains an abundance of useful information that will serve as a step-by-step guide for future students."Veselina S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Modelsbased Practice in Physical Education
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice.Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term pedagogical model over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners' cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common strucTrade Review"Models-based Practice in Physical Education by Ashley Casey and David Kirk offers significant support to start, continue and enhance your knowledge and appreciation of MPB … This book has enhanced my understanding of the overarching theme of models-based practice. It provides opportunities to enrich practitioners in different aspects of their teaching career. Pre-service teachers, academics and acting teachers (already using models in the field or those who want to know more) can all benefit from this book." – Ryan Forwood, Physical Education MattersTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Student Motivation in EnglishMedium Instruction
Book SynopsisThis book explores Japanese students' learning experiences and challenges in English medium instruction (EMI) frommotivational perspectives. Using self-determination theory (SDT) as the framework, the first part reveals a lack of the three psychological needs of SDT (autonomy, competence, relatedness) that cause loss of students' initial interest in learning English language and content. The author outlines pedagogical interventions that can be implemented in order to make the learning environment better. The second half of the book shows the effects these interventions had on the fulfillment of the three psychological needs, especially perceived relatedness and autonomy. In conclusion, the author focuses on the importance of listening to Japanese students' voices and building a community that can motivate students, thus maximizing the pedagogical effectiveness of EMI. This volume will be useful to anyone involved in motivation, language learning or EMI research, pedagogy or practice.Table of Contents1. Introduction 1. Why Motivation in EMI? 3. Two Faces of EMI Motivation: Learning English and Content 4. How do Japanese Students Feel in EMI Classrooms? 5. Pedagogical Interventions to Support Motivational Change in EMI 6. The Importance of Community in Enhancing Student Motivation 7. Conclusion
