National Physical Activity

Purpose:This study examined the impact of published national physical activity (PA) and health guidelines, documents, and initiatives on the evolution of research on teaching K-12 physical education (PE) in U.S.A. from 1996 to October 2013.Methods:A total of 262 peer-reviewed, data-based journal articles meeting our inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified through a comprehensive search. These articles were coded and the resulting data were analyzed.Results and Discussions:The findings showed that 41% (108 out of 262) of articles had cited these identified guidelines, documents and Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention (CDC) reports. In particular, the most frequently cited documents were Healthy People documents, the 1996 Report of Surgeon General, and CDC reports and studies. The citation of these guidelines, documents and CDC reports fluctuated over the years. Our findings also showed that among the research studies citing these national documents and reports, 56% of them focused on students’ PA/fitness, while only a few studies focused on students’ psycho-motor skills and game performance. The majority of the studies reviewed were nonexperimental quantitative studies while 10% using randomized control trials or randomized group control trials design.Conclusion:The results revealed a substantial proportion of articles cited national guidelines, initiatives and CDC study reports. These guidelines and documents have had some impact on the evolution of research on teaching K-12 PE.

Humanistic goals related to the affective domain have been of considerable influence in the justification of mainstreaming. Physical educators have traditionally identified development in this domain as a salient educational outcome of physical activity and of physical education programs. Concerning handicapped children in regular physical education programs, the benefits related to development in the affective domain have been espoused and projected to be significant. However, development in the affective domain (especially as related to self-concept and self-efficacy) does not occur incidentally, but must be planned for. This article elaborates on the constructs of self-concept and self-efficacy and discusses the implications for developing or enhancing these constructs in mainstreamed handicapped children.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese. The purpose of this study was to investigate school administrators’ knowledge of appropriate instructional practices in physical education. For this study 130 k-12 school administrators from two states in the United States were surveyed regarding their knowledge of appropriate instructional practices in physical education. University Institutional Review Board granted approval to conduct this study. Surveys were sent electronically to the school administrators to take. At the completion of the survey the school administrators were able to click a submit button and have the surveys returned to the researchers. It was found that school administrators identified dodge ball, relay races and elimination tag as an appropriate instructional practice. Also, full-sided games (30 students divided into two teams) were appropriate for students to participate in. These instructional practices are considered inappropriate for students to participate in. The implications of this study are to inform school administrators what practices are appropriate and inappropriate. It is hoped that physical educators and school administrators will work together to see that appropriate instructional practices are taught in physical education, thus benefitting students to become competent in their participation in physical activity. 本研究的目的是探討學校管理者對體育的教學實踐知識。在這項研究中，邀請兩個州份的130位 K-12學校行政人員進行調 查，並獲大學機構審查委員會准許進行這項研究。調查以電子方式發送給學校管理者採取。結果發現，學校的管理者確定躲避球和接力賽作為適當的教學實踐。希望體育教師和學校管理者將共同努力，看到合適的體育教學實踐，從而惠及學生參與體能活動。

Comparison Results

Introduction. Modern schoolchildren are characterized by relatively low levels of health, physical development and fitness. In addition, they have insufficient motivation for physical education and sports classes, in particular within the school. In the last decade, the processes of reforming the educational system have intensified, in particular with regard to school physical education. Today, physical education programs are based on so-called variable modules, which allows students to offer means and methods of various sports and physical activity that could interest them. The purpose of the study. To identify opportunities for the introduction of a variable module "cycling" in the physical education curriculum for middle school students. Material and methods. The study was theoretical and review in nature. Information from modern sources of literature on the system of physical education in Ukraine and abroad was taken into account. It were observed the presence of kinds and components of cycling in physical education programs within school education and its possible positive effects on young students. Methods: data analysis and generalization, historical method, system approach, comparison. Results. Quite a large number of modern scientific papers are devoted to improving the system of physical education within the school. Significant attention is paid to the need of correction the program providing for physical education classes, in particular for middle school students. It was revealed the necessity to update and correct the physical education program for middle school students in the direction of including new, modern and interesting for children kinds of physical activity that would promote their physical development, health and form important society skills. There was also detected the positive impact of cycling on the child's body from both physical and psychosocial sideі and the feasibility of including certain elements of cycling (trail, BMX, artistic and figure cycling, cycling, etc.) in the physical education curriculum of middle school students.
