Some disorders may affect the teaching process in physical education classes. In the present work an action-research study was conducted in order to know how two work with a single case of a hyperactive pupil in physical education classes. Based in literature, some work strategies were defined and used by a pre-service physical education teacher. Strategies were the adoption of evaluative positive and individual feedback, which had positive results in the self-observation and in the compromise with the exercises; a calm voice, that resulted positive for pupil individually, but not when in interaction with class; an increased responsibility for tasks, that did not work as expected, because the general behaviour of the class was not good too; pupil showed more commitment with the competition, when compared with cooperation tasks; the valorisation of the work in pairs was more positive than the work in group; attribution of gradual autonomy showed that more time and more specific skills of teaching are needed beyond one school year. In conclusion, it seems to be necessary to adapt specific strategies for Physical education, once the most were in the context of other disciplines taught in a classroom context that is very different from gym. Key words: hyperactivity, physical education, strategies.

Keywords: school scoliosis, deep back muscles, physical education, the “Gorbunok” exercise machine, scoliosis prevention, physical education lessons. Introduction and purpose of the study. One of the urgent problems of modern orthopedics is the prevention of scoliosis. Scoliotic disease is characterized by multiplanar deformity of the spine with damage to internal organs and body systems. Scoliosis is detected mainly at the age of 10 to 15 years. The hypothesis of the authors of the study is the assumption that the use of the “Humpbacked” simulator in high school conditions will significantly strengthen the deep muscles of the back in schoolchildren. The aim of the study is to study the possibility of simple and affordable prevention of school scoliosis using the “Gorbunok” simulator in a secondary school. Materials and methods. Simulator “Gorbunok”(inventors O.A.Korol, A.V. Fedorich), (patent UA 69579); an experimental group, consisting of 52 schoolchildren of senior and secondary school age with severe musculoskeletal disorders; complex physical activity, including systematic exercises on the “Gorbunok” simulator during physical education lessons; visual and palpation assessment of the degree of scoliosis and the degree of development of the muscles surrounding the spine. Results. As a result of the use of the “Gorbunok” simulator and a set of exercises in a complex of physical loads at physical education lessons during the school year, all 52 students improved their overall physical development. And in 24 students (49%), a significant strengthening of the muscular corset of the spine was recorded. In this group of 52 schoolchildren, there was not a single case of scoliosis progression. Conclusions. The practical use of the “Gorbunok” simulator in a complex of physical activities in physical education lessons for children of senior and middle school age shows an unprecedented result in terms of efficiency: children not only prevent the development of school scoliosis, but also significantly strengthen the muscular corset of the spine, which significantly increases the adaptive capabilities of the musculoskeletal system. - the motor apparatus of schoolchildren.

Friendships provide opportunities to build empathy and practice social skills. Being friends with ethnically diverse peers can create opportunities for academic and social learning different from the opportunities afforded by same-ethnic friendships. Through my observation, I had been finding that elementary and secondary school students are less likely to have friends of a different ethnic — even from the beginning to the end of a single school year, as they progress in school. My observation show that most childhood friendships are formed in classrooms, but children tend to form friendships with others of their own ethnicity, with interethnic friendships decreasing across ages and grades. The observation looked at student and classroom factors that affect the likelihood of children forming friendships across ethnic. On an individual or student level, I looked at age, ethnic, and psychosocial factors, including sociability, internalizing behavior (such as worrying or feeling sad) and externalizing behavior (such as acting out or getting in trouble). I also examined factors related to classroom context, including teacher support, whether teachers treat students with varying levels of academic achievement differently, and competition among students. Results suggest that same-ethnic friendships increase over the school year, with greater increases among white and older children. Externalizing behavior predicted a greater increase in same-ethnic friendships, particularly among ‘domestic’ (Javanese: ‘cah kene dewe’) students. Teachers and classroom context influenced student friendships in two different ways. It suggests that teachers may make a difference in how students select and maintain friends. Classroom support -- measured by student perceptions of teachers' warmth, respect, and trust -- predicted less of an increase in same-ethnic friendships from fall to spring. In last, my observation points to the need not just for diverse schools, but also for teachers to foster classrooms where students and teachers support one another, and social and academic hierarchies are not dominant, which could increase the likelihood of students developing and maintaining interethnic friendships.

Projecting the educational and didactical work presumes using certain strict techniques, supported by methods and means of intellectual work. The high demand of education, permanent education, obliges students to revalue their principles, objectives, structure, methodology and work style, to adequately respond to the ever increasing requirements that society brings forward. The main purpose of this paper is identifying the influence of intellectual work techniques on the process of training by scientifically understanding the domain of physical education and sport, the transfer ability of skills in terms of situations and modalities of work within the physical education and sports domain. In this context, the positive results of evaluating distributive attention and psychological fatigue through the Prague Test, the Toulouse Pierron Test and the test for determining self-esteem, all have proven that the methods and techniques of intellectual work used here have been efficient confirming the hypothesis.

Purpose: Physical education (PE) teachers’ assessments are often based on continuous observations of pupils. As certain psychological factors may mediate pupils’ learning behaviors relevant to the PE context, they may also influence academic achievement in PE. Thus, this study’s aim was to explore the association between pupil-related psychological factors and academic achievement in PE. Methods: Eighty-nine boys and 111 girls (12–16 years old) in lower secondary school participated in this study, responding to a questionnaire containing previously validated scales measuring pupils’ grit, mindset, self-perceptions, and situational motivation. The pupils’ final grade in PE was collected at the end of the school year. Results: A multiple regression model significantly explained 33% of the variance in grade. The self-perception domains—scholastic competence, athletic competence, and physical appearance—acted as unique predictors, explaining a small portion of the variance in academic achievement. Discussion/conclusion: These results support the importance of positive self-perceptions in relation to academic achievement in PE.

Although educational policy makers uphold that chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of the school year) is damaging to students’ schooling outcomes, there is little empirical research to match. This study considers the role of spillover effects of chronic absenteeism on classmates’ achievement. It does so by utilizing a large-scale administrative urban district data set of elementary schoolchildren—a sample of students where the rates of chronic absenteeism are expected to be higher compared with the national average. The results show that students suffer academically from having chronically absent classmates—as exhibited across both reading and math testing outcomes. Chronic absenteeism not only had a damaging effect on those individuals missing excessive school days but also has the potential to reduce outcomes for others in the same educational setting.
