This study evaluated the level of change in students' knowledge of and attitudes toward healthy lifestyle behaviors and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) following implementation of a Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Module in Grade 5 science classes. Two classes of students (n[subscript 1] = 39) were identified as the intervention group…

Sheppard, Adam; Rubin, Daniela A.; Sherman, Clay P.; Patterson, Debra L. – Physical Educator, 2012
Currently, there is no standardized course configuration for the administration of the mile run/walk (MRW) test. This study assessed the effect of altering the MRW course configuration on student preference for configurations, student performance during the test, and perception of exertion after the test. Participants completed the MRW test under…

Over the past several years, the authors have been developing an instructional technology, called Teachable Agents (TA), which draws on the social metaphor of teaching to help students learn. Students teach a computer character, their "agent," by creating a concept map of nodes connected by qualitative causal links. The authors hypothesize that…

Ward, R. Bruce; Sadler, Philip M.; Shapiro, Irwin I. – Astronomy Education Review, 2008
We report on an evaluation of the effectiveness of Project ARIES, an astronomy-based physical science curriculum for upper elementary and middle school children. ARIES students use innovative, simple, and affordable apparatus to carry out a wide range of indoor and outdoor hands-on, discovery-based activities. Student journals and comprehensive…

Palmer, Stephen; Graham, George; Elliott, Eloise – American Journal of Health Education, 2005
American children continue to be less physically active than they were a decade ago. Web-based programs (e-Learning), requiring minimal teacher training and expertise, could contribute to improvements in children's health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the e-Learning module…
