Wearable technology has made a positive impact in the consumer industry with its focus on adult fitness. Devices and applications are pervasive, inexpensive and are in high demand. Our nation struggles with obesity and health concerns related to poor fitness. However, the research on such technology has been more focused on adults. Therefore, the need to investigate wearable technology for fitness improvement with children is essential. Children lead increasingly sedentary lifestyles through TV watching, technology-use and a reduction in physical activities. Further, our society is exposed to quick food loaded with calories. These factors contribute to the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. The need to educate students early, on their ability to monitor their fitness, is the focus of this research. This dissertation investigated the impact of an integrated technology-enhanced physical education model with 127 fifth grade students over an 11-week period. A detailed analysis, looking at theoretical perspectives across multiple data collections was conducted. This study answered the questions, 1. To what extent can students improve their performance with technology-enhanced physical education? 2. To what extent can students learn to self-monitor their performance levels? How do affective components impact teaching and learning with a technology-enhanced physical education model? Results showed that technology-enhanced physical education does improve performance measures, does improve students' ability to self-regulate and positively impacts student and teachers' affective states. However long term results were inconclusive, stimulating multiple, potential opportunities for continued research.

The purpose of a rhythm activity program in the Thomas A. Edison School is to achieve the following: 1. The building within each child a better coordination of mind and body. 2. The satisfying of each child with a knowledge that he has the ability of achievement. 3. A healthful, happy, and social relationship between the sexes. 4. For the pupil the realization of the pure joy and exhilaration of living. 5. Poise and self confidence within the child. 6. The carrying over of this program into other closely related classes such as, playground, art, auditorium, and music. 7. An ambition within each pupil to make his community life more desirable.

This study is for the purpose of making a critical analysis of the health program of the white elementary public schools of Cleburne, Texas with implications for other other cities of corresponding size. This analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of such a health program in light of certain evaluative criteria. It is intended to call attention to the existing facilities for adequate health instruction, the need, if any, for more and better facilities and the need for teacher training in this field.

The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent physical education programs are being implemented in a Southern California school district, in an effort to increase physical activity and decrease obesity among students. This study also identified factors that either contributed to, or detracted from, implementation.

This project was designed to examine the research regarding single-sex and coeducational physical education environments in middle and high school levels. It is intended to help secondary educators and administrators to reevalute their physical education programs with regard to achieving the optimal environment for both genders.

Thesis (D.Phil.) -- Central University of Technology, Free State, 2010 / Due to various reasons, today’s learners lead a passive life that results in movement deprivation and poor motor development. Motor development contributes to cognitive development, which can also contribute to school readiness. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, researchers have indicated that there is an increase of learners with motor problems, which can develop into learning problems. The primary aim of the study was to determine the influence of a 10 week Judo intervention programme on Grade 1 learners with motor restraints. The formal standardised test, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test for Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) with its eight subscales, was used for this purpose. A total of 140 learners took part in the programme: 70 learners formed part of the control group and 70 learners formed part of the experimental group. All the learners took part in the pre- and post-tests (the BOTMP). The experimental group took part in the Judo intervention programme. The importance of Judo with regard to motor aspects has been highlighted. It promotes self-confidence and self-control, and has a significant influence on learning behaviour and learning of movement. This sport emphasises body awareness and spatial orientation, and develops sensory-motor activities, as well as cognitive and physical movements. Furthermore, Judo consists of a great number of motor movements and, as a result of this diversity, the participant develops on a motor, cognitive, social and emotional level. To determine whether the Judo intervention programme had any impact on the learners, t-tests were applied. These tests were done on independent and nonindependent groups. The data was statistically processed and depicted in table or graph format. The results indicated a significant improvement in five of the eight subscales of the BOTMP. The motor variates that showed improvement were balance, bilateral coordination, reaction speed, visual motor control, and upper limb speed and dexterity. The means were statistically different on the 5% level. Furthermore, the average of two variates differed on a 1% level, namely balance and bilateral coordination. Running speed and agility, as well as strength, did not show significant signs of improvement. From the results, it can be concluded that an affordable and achievable Judo intervention programme has a significant impact on the gross, gross-fine and fine motor development of Grade 1 learners with motor restraints. The study indicated that Judo as a sport indeed has an effect on the motor skills of these learners. It is recommended that such a programme should be marketed to educators and be included in the Life Orientation Programme.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Yolanda D de Oliveira.pdf: 766097 bytes, checksum: f5b23a2a87f0801a53560e0f69361552 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-11-28 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In this study, school education for children is examined in the work of Helvécio Ferreira de Andrade, an intellectual, doctor, and educator who had an important participation in debates about the modernization of schools in Sergipe between 1911 and 1935. The hypothesis adopted here is that children s education, in this State, was treated as a specific and scientific issue from the writings of this author that, for being part of the intellectual, medical, and educational scenarios, contributed to putting children s education into the center of the concerns that guided the school modernization project, directly related to the theme of teacher s training. Based on Sartre s understanding about totality , this study tried to understand Helvécio Andrade and his work, analyzing the scientific issues that were highlighted by the author, especially the ones that refer to Psychology, as well as the propositions related to the teacher s role in the primary school. It was verified that the author s proposition, in order to answer the expectation related to school renewal, refers to a kind of Pedagogy of a less rigorous and more attractive character, dedicated to the child s intellectual, moral, and physical education, as well as to the intelligent control of their wishes, under the guidance of sensorial and psychophysical Psychology. As for teacher s training, the author defends theoretical knowledge as a condition for a competent teacher s practice, and at the same time he emphasizes, in his training program, sensorial experience as the basis of knowledge / Neste trabalho é examinada a educação escolar da criança na obra de Helvécio Ferreira de Andrade, intelectual, médico e educador, que teve destacada participação nos debates acerca da modernização da escola em Sergipe, entre os anos de 1911 e 1935. A hipótese adotada é a de que a educação da criança, nesse Estado, foi tratada como uma questão específica e cientifica a partir dos escritos desse personagem que, inserido na cena intelectual, médica e educacional, contribuiu para colocar a educação da infância no centro das preocupações que orientaram o projeto modernizador da escola, diretamente relacionada ao tema da formação docente. Com base no entendimento de Sartre sobre totalidade , buscou-se compreender Helvécio de Andrade e sua obra, analisando as questões científicas destacadas pelo autor, especialmente as que se referem à Psicologia, assim como as proposições quanto à atuação do professor na escola primária. Constatou-se que a proposição do autor, para atender a expectativa de renovação da escola, diz respeito a uma pedagogia, de caráter menos rigoroso e mais atraente, voltada para a educação intelectual, moral e física da criança, bem como para o controle inteligente das vontades, sob a orientação da Psicologia sensorial e psicofísica. Quanto à formação docente, o autor defende o conhecimento teórico como condição para a atuação competente do professor e, ao mesmo tempo, enfatiza no seu programa de formação a experiência sensorial como a base do conhecimento

Physical education is important to promote physical activity of adolescents with and without disabilities, but many adolescents are not active during physical education classes. Innovative instructional strategies are imperative to change this phenomenon, but it will be challenging to develop effective instructional strategies without thorough understanding of students' physical activity behavior in physical education settings. Two studies were conducted to comprehensively understand physical activity behavior of adolescents with and without disabilities in inclusive physical education classes at middle schools. The first study investigated the utility of the integrative theory to predict students' physical activity intentions and behavior at the intrapersonal level. A total of 577 participants, including 24 adolescents' with disabilities, were recruited from 8 middle schools in Korea. In a prospective design, participants' psychosocial constructs and physical activity data were collected by survey questionnaires and electronic pedometers. A multilevel (design-based) structural equation modeling using maximum likelihood estimation with robust standard error correction found that students' attitudes, subjective norms, and barrier-efficacy significantly predicted students' goal intentions. Students' implementation intentions and task-efficacy were significant predictors of physical activity behavior. In addition, implementation intentions completely mediated the relationship between goal intentions and physical activity behavior. The second study investigated three conceptual models, including process-product model, student mediation model, and ecological model, to predict students' physical activity behavior at the interpersonal and environmental levels. A total of 13 physical educators teaching inclusive physical education and their 503 students, including 22 students with disabilities, were recruited from 8 middle schools in Korea. A series of multilevel (model-based) regressions with maximum likelihood estimation showed that the ecological model was the most effective model in prediction of students' physical activity behavior. Specifically, it was found that teachers' teaching behavior and students' implementation intentions were significant predictors of the students' physical activity behavior when interacted with gender, disability, lesson contents, instructional models, and class locations. In conclusion, findings suggest that intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental predictors provide a systematic account in the understanding of students' physical activity behavior in physical education settings. Future studies should consider all three factors simultaneously to effectively develop instructional strategies that promote physical activity of adolescents' with and without disabilities in physical education classes. / Graduation date: 2013
