The purpose of the study was to investigate relationships between selected management behaviors and student cognitive engagement, motor engagement and units of Academic Learning Time-Physical Education (ALT-PE). In order to establish a film bank for subsequent analysis, thirteen physical education teachers with an average of 11.9 years experience were audio and video taped on two separate days. Five men and eight women with a mean age of 35 participated in the study. / After the film bank was established, two trained observers simultaneously coded each lesson. More specifically, the teachers' managerial behaviors were coded by one observer using the Florida Performance Measurement System observation instrument (FPMS) while teacher and learner inclass behaviors were coded by the second observer using Birdwell's Academic Learning Time-Physical Education-Teacher Behavior Observation Instrument (ALT-PE-TB). Frequencies of selected management behaviors were compared with the frequencies of learner inclass behaviors by using the Pearson-product moment correlation statistic. / The results indicated that significant relationships did exist between particular management behaviors and learner inclass behaviors. The concept Efficient Use of Time was negatively correlated with the cognitive engagement while it was positively correlated with ALT-PE. The inappropriate use of Movement Smoothness and Momentum management behaviors was negatively correlated with ALT-PE. The inappropriate use of Movement Slow-Down Avoidance management behaviors was positively associated with learner cognitive engagement, while negatively associated with learner motor engagement and ALT-PE. Management of Individuals and Small Group management behaviors was negatively associated with motor engagement and ALT-PE. Finally, Withitness/Desist management behaviors were positively correlated with ALT-PE. Therefore, the data seemed to suggest that certain management behaviors are related to learner inclass behaviors which previous research suggests are associated with learner achievement. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-04, Section: A, page: 0923. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
