Background: Children with intellectual disability are less physically active and more sedentary than typically developing peers. To date no studies have tested the feasibility of a school-based walking intervention for children with Intellectual Disability. Method: A clustered randomised controlled trial (cRCT), with an embedded process…

Creativity is important for school performance. As several brain mechanisms involved in creativity are stimulated by low-intensity physical activity, standing might influence creativity. Few studies on the relationship between standing and creativity have been executed, and none among vocational education and training (VET) students. Therefore,…

To convert accelerometer-based devices onto the same scale, a platform called Monitor-Independent Movement Summary (MIMS) was created and used in national studies. Yet, its physical activity (PA) intensity cutoff scores have not been established, making it less useful. This study was to link MIMS with the ActiGraph Count, known as "the…

The study delves into how the structures afforded by an out-of-classroom structure within the schooling context enables an authentic learning experience for students. This chapter examines why and how the structure-and-agency afforded by both the activities in the out-of-classroom structure and the agency of the person(s) involved produced a…

In the midst of the pandemic, this school district made a significant investment with recovery dollars to expand enrichment opportunities in art, music, and physical education for students in their K-8 schools. The hypothesis was increasing the quality and quantity of these opportunities, the school district would increase student engagement, lead…

This paper offers an invitation to higher music education communities to think differently about the significance of the connections between music and play. We highlight the many texts that articulate these connections and draw together a speculative ontological claim that all musicking is an enactment of play. In other words, we ask how…

Background: Our research examined the scientific literature to determine the influence of the playground environment (size, type of surface, playground marking, and access to equipment) on physical activity (PA) by gender across different educational stages (early childhood, primary, and secondary education). Methods: The review process followed…

This study examines the impact of Artist-in-Residence (AiR) programs on college students' creative behaviors. By surveying undergraduates, we found that art majors, compared to nonmajors, exhibited greater intentions to engage in creative behaviors following interactions with the AiR. These students also felt more social pressure to be creative,…

The literature regarding K-12 student experiences in physical education (PE) has long identified issues regarding curriculum and social justice. While the multi-activity (MA) or physical-education-as-sport techniques approach continues to be used in many PE programs around the world, the Tactical Games (TG) model has been shown to be effective in…

Background: The home learning environment (HLE) is central to children's development. Activities in the HLE are assumed to mediate the effects of distal factors such as family socio-economic status (SES) and parental beliefs and attitudes on children's development. However, little is known about the science-specific HLE and the relationship…

Educating students in higher education who are capable of addressing societal challenges requires innovative learning journeys. In the current study, we explore challenge-based learning (CBL) as one way to realise such education. A Delphi study has been conducted at a Dutch University for Life Sciences to identify key characteristics, learning…

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping society, highlighting the need to better understand its implications for human creativity. This investigation explores the relationship and differences between people's general creative self-beliefs and their creative self-beliefs in an AI-specific context (i.e., while using AI tools). It…

Literacy skills are acquired during childhood through 'code-related activities', which are interactions and practices that directly engage children with written words. This study presents a scoping review and meta-analysis of 18 peer-reviewed articles that explore the relationship between these code-related activities and early literacy skills.…

This article considers how the performing arts integrate with research, learning and teaching. In doing so, it addresses the relation between research and performance practice, and the connections between research/practice with learning and teaching. Reference to A/R/Tography is made as a constructivist praxis facilitating integration of these…

Spending time in nature during childhood can improve mental and physical health, support academic success, and cultivate pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. Increasing outdoor time during school can enhance the likelihood of those outcomes for all students. However, in practice incorporating outdoor time into the school day can be…
