Islam supports participation in regular physical activity for health. However, various contextual factors related to the school setting, and traditional physical education curriculum and instruction may hinder full student engagement. The article's purposes are to: (1) provide an update on and implications of research conducted with US Muslim…

College health promotion departments frequently employ peer health educators to disseminate relevant education and conduct outreach to their student body. While there are certainly benefits to these programs, this approach is outdated and does little to empower students or engage them in the process of health promotion. In this viewpoint article,…

The school function of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are affected by their disability. Cognitive impairments, especially in executive function (EF), can be a reason for these children's failure in school function. This study investigated the association between EF and school function (school participation, school physical activity performance)…

Existing understandings of youth participation often imply clear distinctions from non-participation and thus boundaries between "recognized" and "non-recognized" practices of engagement. This article aims at questioning these boundaries. It analyzes young people's practices in the public sphere that are characterized by both…

Objective: Flourishing is a mental health indicator that helps students function optimally, which may be important for first-year university students. Physical activity (PA) also contributes to optimal functioning, yet the flourishing and PA relationship has received little attention. The bidirectional relationships between flourishing and meeting…

A secondary objective was to explore changes in psychosocial outcomes. Participants: Twenty-five students (23 females; mean age 20.35 years) enrolled in the…

This study aimed to uncover key variable relationships underlying social marginalisation of students in public schools. Structural equation modelling was conducted on a large subset of the Danish Programme for Learning Management survey (2017) containing both student (Grades 4-10, ages 10-16) and parent responses (N = 42,702). The Social…

The shared medium of still and moving images invites shared power in the design and ongoing decisions about learning. Jodi Wert refers to using visual…

This article utilises complexity thinking to further develop a heuristic model for teacher professional growth as a continuous, recursive and adaptive process. Conversations with six case teachers are drawn upon in a phenomenographic study, seeking variation in ways of experiencing learning and development, together comprising professional growth.…

Grounded on constructivism, mining a complex mix of social and cognitive interrelations is key to understanding collaborative discussion in online learning.
