At the field experience level, current research is limited on reflective expressive arts exercises as a modality to facilitate professional identity development in counseling students, with no ...mention of the effectiveness of mask-making. The purpose of this art-based hermeneutic phenomenological study was to examine the perceptions of master’s students’ counselor identity at the field experience level using research questions to explore participants’ lived experiences as they engaged in a mask-making expressive arts activity aimed at the enhancement of their self-awareness, insight, and reflection into their professional identity development. A qualitative design was utilized, and 5 students participated in this study that was conducted and recorded using the Zoom platform. Emergent themes regarding perceptions of professional identity development and the mask-making experience were derived from data observation, pre and post interviews, and memo writing using descriptive coding and thematic analysis. The results of this study indicated that field experience students experience uncertainty, self-doubt, and transition. However, results from the mask-making exercise indicated it fostered growth, integration, reflection, and self-care as a catalyst towards their developing professional identities. This study will create an opportunity for social change for the counseling profession by expanding knowledge regarding counselor identity development through a new lens; for counselors in training by highlighting the challenges faced in their professional development for additional exploration, emphasis, and support; and for counselor educators by offering additional modalities to address professional development training needs.
The paper analyses the impact of ligament stretch and tension on the speed of movement in martial arts from the perspective of sports physiology. It establishes the numerical relationship between the ...peak impact value of the ligament speed and the differential equation of the flexibility of the joints in the initial stage of tension (impact peak). It was found that the differential equation of the ligament tension of the movement is formed after the movement is stable, which cannot reflect the flexibility of the ligament and the mastery of the movement. In this paper, a tension calculation model for ligament equilibrium is established by using a kinetic method of motion. Although it is a static equation, continuous use can obtain dynamic effects. The simulation proves that the initial tension change is more realistic.
