Weaver, R. Glenn; Webster, Collin A.; Beets, Michael W.; Brazendale, Keith; Chandler, Jessica; Schisler, Lauren; Aziz, Mazen – Health Education & Behavior, 2018
This study examined the initial effects of a participatory-based, competency-/skill-building professional development workshop for physical education (PE) teachers on the use of physical activity (PA) promotion practices (e.g., eliminating lines, small-sided games) and students' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). A total of 823…

André, Mauro; Hastie, Peter – European Physical Education Review, 2018
A student-designed games (SDG) teaching unit could be described as the process in which students create, organise, practice and refine their own games within certain limits established by the teacher. This study compared how two different teaching approaches had an impact on students and their teacher. The researcher taught two SDG units to junior…

Kerr, Deirdre; Chung, Gregory K. W. K. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2013
Student mathematical errors are rarely random and often occur because students are applying procedures that they believe to be accurate. Traditional approaches often view such errors as indicators of students' failure to understand the construct in question, but some theorists view errors as opportunities for students to expand their mental model…

Snow, Erica L.; Jackson, G. Tanner; Varner, Laura K.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2013
Research on individual differences indicates that students vary in how they interact with and perform while using intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). However, less research has investigated how individual differences affect students' interactions with game-based features. This study examines how learning outcomes and interactions with specific…

Martí-Parreño, J.; Méndez-Ibáñez, E.; Alonso-Arroyo, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
The use of games in education represents a promising tool to motivate and engage students in their learning process. Most of previous research on the topic has focused to develop theoretical frameworks or to conduct experiments as a means to analyse learning outcomes such as knowledge retention, problem-solving skills gains or attitudes toward…

O'Leary, Nick – European Physical Education Review, 2016
This paper examines an experienced teacher's employment of the teaching games for understanding (TGfU) model in a UK secondary school. The study sought to investigate how the teacher delivered TGfU and those factors that influenced his informal learning of this instructional model. Occupational socialisation was utilised to determine the factors…

Miller, Andrew; Christensen, Erin; Eather, Narelle; Gray, Shirley; Sproule, John; Keay, Jeanne; Lubans, David – European Physical Education Review, 2016
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a pilot intervention using a game-centered approach for improvement of physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE) outcomes simultaneously, and if this had an impact on enjoyment of PE. A group-randomized controlled trial with a 7-week wait-list control group was conducted…
