Lauren Willis; Heather Erwin; Aaron Beighle – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2024
Response to Intervention (RTI) has become prevalent in education recently, while the time youth spend being physically active has consistently decreased. Given the known physical, mental, and cognitive benefits of regular physical activity and the time youth spend in school, this article explores the use of increased physical education (PE) time…

Martin, Rosemarie; McMullen, Jaimie; Murtagh, Elaine M. – Irish Educational Studies, 2022
Movement integration (MI) has recently been highlighted as a means to contribute to children's physical activity (PA) and academic development. This study evaluates teacher and student perceptions of participating in the Moving to Learn Ireland MI programme and reports associated student PA levels. Three classroom teachers in one multi-grade…

Sneck, Sirpa; Järvelä, Sanna; Syväoja, Heidi; Tammelin, Tuija – Education 3-13, 2022
This study investigated pupil experiences and perceptions of two kinds of classroom-based physically active math lessons during the Moving Maths programme in a Finnish primary school context. Qualitative data were gathered in focus group interviews with 16 nine-year-old pupils. Pupils in the group with physically active breaks during math lessons…

Dettweiler, Ulrich; Gerchen, Martin; Mall, Christoph; Simon, Perikles; Kirsch, Peter – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: Education outside the classroom (EOtC) is considered beneficial to children's physical and mental health. Especially, stress resilience has been linked to nature experience. Aims: This study experimentally explored the effects of pupils' autonomy support (AUT) and physical activity (PA) on their biological stress responses and brain…

Zhou, Yulan; Wang, Lijuan; Wang, Bingnan; Chen, Ruzhuan – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2022
Background: Many studies find that physical education (PE) classes in elementary schools rarely meet the recommendation to engage students in moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at least 50% of the class time. PE teachers are responsible for engaging students in MVPA during PE classes. Therefore, identifying teacher-related factors…

Huertas-Delgado, Francisco Javier; Segura-Jiménez, Víctor; Ávila-García, Manuel; Cardon, Greet; Tercedor, Pablo – Health Education Journal, 2021
Introduction: Physical education (PE) can contribute to total daily physical activity (PA) among children. In consequence, the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport has developed 16 teaching units focused on increasing PA levels during PE lessons, called "Unidades Didácticas Activas" (UDA; Active Teaching Units). Objectives:…

Nieto, Paola; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
A recent intervention, the Step it UP! game (Galbraith & Normand, 2017), consists of an interdependent group contingency to increase student physical activity. In addition, previous research demonstrated that adult interaction may reinforce physical activity (Larson et al., 2014). We extended research on the Step it UP! game by comparing the…

Mygind, Laerke; Kryger, Tine; Sidenius, Gry; Schipperijn, Jasper; Bentsen, Peter – European Physical Education Review, 2019
Since children spend a large proportion of their time in institutional settings such as schools, health promotion researchers have identified this as an important setting to promote physical activity (PA). Apart from physical education, PA could be integrated into the school curriculum in other ways. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine…

Wahl-Alexander, Zachary; Malecki, Annie; Smart, Steven – Physical Educator, 2020
This study evaluated the effect of three conditions in which 34 sixth-grade students were prompted to accumulate as much activity as possible during a Sport Education season. Three intervention conditions were assessed via an alternating treatment design: (a) baseline: no prompting of students; (b) teacher prompts: verbal prompts and suggestions…

Peacock, Jessica; Bowling, April; Finn, Kevin; McInnis, Kyle – American Journal of Health Education, 2021
Background: Outdoor education may positively impact the educational, physical, and emotional development of youth, but studies are sparse among urban children. Purpose: To investigate 1) physical activity (PA) levels in outdoor versus indoor education environments, 2) science learning gains during outdoor education, and 3) programmatic…

Cecchini, Jose A.; Carriedo, Alejandro – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2020
Purpose: New ways of teaching have been under consideration over the last decade. Thus, this study aims to examine the effects of an interdisciplinary educational approach integrating physical education and mathematics on light and moderate-vigorous physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and learning subtraction. Method: Forty-six first-grade…

Rodríguez-Negro, Josune; Yanci, Javier – Educational Psychology, 2020
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of two different instructional models (i.e. direct instructional model (DIM) and tactical games model (TGM)) with primary education students. Perceived exertion, affective valence, physical activity (PA) level, instruction time, active learning time, and relation of instruction/active learning time…

Miller, Nicole C.; Kumar, Saravana; Pearce, Karma L.; Baldock, Katherine L. – Environmental Education Research, 2021
The time children spend in nature has severely decreased. While nature-based learning at school is considered an important strategy in addressing this, numerous knowledge gaps continue to remain. To address these, a systematic review was undertaken. Nine commonly used health and education databases were searched from inception to January 2019. To…

Ellner, Mark Robert – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The time that students are asked to sit in classrooms each day can exceed eight hours. With a higher emphasis on academic outcomes, due to legislation such as No Child Left Behind and Common Core, both of which put a high priority on the results of standardized tests, curricula not deemed traditionally academic such as art and physical education…
