El objetivo del estudio fue examinar la influencia del nivel basal de motivación autodeterminada hacia la Educación Física sobre la eficacia de un programa de intervención para la mejora de la resistencia cardiorrespiratoria en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria. Noventa y siete estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria fueron asignados aleatoriamente (por clases) al grupo experimental y control. Durante las clases de Educación Física, los estudiantes del grupo experimental realizaron un programa de acondicionamiento físico. Antes y después del programa de intervención, la resistencia cardiorrespiratoria de los estudiantes se midió mediante el test Course Navette. Los estudiantes del grupo experimental con un nivel basal moderado-alto de motivación autodeterminada hacia la Educación Física incrementaron estadísticamente su resistencia cardiorrespiratoria con respecto a los del grupo control (p < 0,001). No se encontraron diferencias entre los estudiantes del grupo experimental con baja motivación y los del grupo control (p > 0,05). Un programa de acondicionamiento físico durante las clases de Educación Física solo parece incrementar la resistencia cardiorrespiratoria de estudiantes con un nivel basal moderado-alto de motivación autodeterminada hacia la Educación Física.Abstract. The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of baseline self-determined motivation toward Physical Education on the effectiveness of an intervention program for improving cardiorespiratory endurance in high-school students. Ninety seven high-school students were randomly assigned (by classes) to the experimental and control groups. During Physical Education classes, the experimental group students performed a physical fitness program. Before and after the intervention program, students’ cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the Course Navette test. The experimental group students with a moderate-high baseline of self-determined motivation toward Physical Education statistically improved their cardiorespiratory endurance compared with the control group students (p < .001). However, no statistically significant differences between the experimental group students with low motivation toward Physical Education and control group students were found (p > .05). A physical fitness program during Physical Education classes only seems to improve cardiorespiratory endurance in students with moderate-high baseline of self-determined motivation toward Physical Education.

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a two-session-per-week strength and stretching program, on sit and reach score, among high-school students in the physical education setting. Methods. A sample of 75 high-school students (26 girls and 49 boys) aged 12-14 years from four classes were clustered and randomly assigned to a stretching group (n = 21), a strengthening group (n = 18), a strengthening + stretching group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 16). During physical education classes, the experimental students performed a 1-minute stretching, a 1-minute strengthening or a 1-minute strengthening + 1-minute stretching program twice a week a total of 20 weeks. Control students performed the same physical education classes, but they did not follow any strength and/or stretching program. Active flexibility (estimated by the classic sit-and-reach test) was assessed at the beginning and at the end of the intervention program. Results. The Wilcoxon test results showed that students that performed a combined strengthening and stretching program increased statistically significantly their active flexibility levels from pre-intervention to post-intervention (∆ = 1.8 ± 3.2 cm; p < 0.05). However, for students that performed an isolated) program and control group students statistically significant differences were not found (strengthening group, ∆ = 0.6 ± 0.7 cm; stretching group, ∆ = 0.3 ± 2.3 cm; control group, ∆ = 0.7 ± 1.5 cm; p > 0.05). Conclusions. Since in physical education many curricular contents need to be developed each academic year and the subject is also restricted by its limited curriculum time allocation, teachers could improve students’ flexibility combining stretching and strength workout. Therefore, in addition to the improvement of students’ flexibility levels, this intervention program might permit regular development of other physical education curricular contents. This knowledge could help and guide teachers to design programs that guarantee a feasible and effective development of flexibility in the physical education setting.

This pilot study evaluates the effects of a peer developed, smoking prevention program on the smoking behavior, intent to smoke, knowledge, and attitudes toward smoking of high school students. An experimental group of 237 first and second grade high school students (mean ages 12.2 and 13.2 respectively) from an Athenian school was compared to a control group of ninety students from the first and second high school grades (mean ages 12.1 and 13.3 respectively) in another school. A randomly drawn subgroup of thirty-seven student volunteers from the experimental group developed antismoking audiovisual material which they subsequently presented and discussed with the whole group. Findings indicated that this intervention significantly limited the increase of smoking behavior of the experimental group a year following the first assessment. However, intent to smoke in the future, attitudes toward smoking, and knowledge were not affected by the intervention. Results suggest that the intervention was partially successful in curbing experimental smoking in these adolescents. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Teaching in high schools needs specific techniques, methods and skills in order to motivate the students (Ss) properly. In this study, the aim was to explore the effect of humor on students' grammar performance and their motivation. The study was designed as true-experimental research-randomized control experimental group, pre-test, post-test design. The participants were second grade high school students (120 students) in four classes. So, the researcher gave them a Nelson test in order to homogenize them. Out of 120 Ss, only 60 Ss who could get 50% percent of score were selected. Then, the Ss randomly were assigned one member of each pair to the experimental group and the other to the control group containing 30 Ss male in each cause-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Then, the data analysis was done by SPSS version 21. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the gained scores in the groups, namely experimental group in comparison to the control group. A questionnaire was also given to the participants to gather their opinions about humor and its effect on their motivation. The finding showed that a large number of students agree of using humor, because it is enjoyable and motivator. It can be concluded that there is significance relationship between using humor and the Ss grammar performance, and their motivations. . Then, through giving the treatment and placebo to the experimental and control groups, respectively, the researcher tried to observe the direct

Background: High mobile-phone dependency may cause cognitive, emotional, and academic impairments among students; hence, proper therapies should be performed to prevent the risk. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the nomophobia therapy package on self-esteem and nomophobia symptoms in high school students. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design and a control group. The statistical population included all the students showing nomophobia symptoms who were in high schools in Isfahan in the academic year of 2018 - 2019. Using purposive sampling, we selected 30 students willing to participate in the project and randomly divided them into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The research instrument included Nomophobia Questionnaire and Self-Esteem Questionnaire. The experimental group underwent eight sessions (75-minute sessions per week) of nomophobia therapy. The follow-up was performed after two months. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, such as mean, standard deviation, and repeated measures ANOVA. SPSS version 23.0 was further used to analyze the data. Results: The mean ± SD of the post-test scores of self-esteem and nomophobia symptoms were (19.26 ± 3.34) and (50.60 ± 5.07) in the experimental group and (13.46 ± 2.47) and (71.63 ± 8.47) in the control groups. The difference between the scores of the experimental and control groups in the pre-test was not significant (all P-values were > 0.05). Also, the post-test scores did not have a significant difference from the follow-up scores (all P-values were > 0.05). Nomophobia therapy effectively increased self-esteem in students with nomophobia symptoms in the experimental group (P = 0.0001). The training intervention sessions decreased the nomophobia symptoms of high school students in the experimental groups compared to the control group (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: According to research findings, nomophobia therapy was an efficient therapy for improving self-esteem and reducing nomophobia symptoms in students who suffer from the syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of introduction of the physical computing strategy of Arduino Boards in a program design course on coding literacy and the effectiveness of the application in technical high school students. This study selected two classes of twelfth-grade students enrolled in a program design course at a technical high school in Southern Taiwan as the samples. One class was the control group (43 students), and the other was the experimental group (42 students). During the 18-week course, the control group carried out a DBL (design-based learning) programming project, and the experimental group carried out the DBL programming project using the physical computing strategy of Arduino boards. Pre- and posttests and a questionnaire survey were carried out, while ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) was used for evaluation purposes. In the course, students in the experimental group were randomly selected for semi-structured interviews to understand their learning status and to perform qualitative analysis and summarization. This study proposed the physical computing strategy of Arduino boards, featuring staged teaching content, practical teaching activities, and real themes and problem-solving tasks. The results show that the coding literacy of students in the different teaching strategy groups was significantly improved. However, in the Arduino course on DBL programming, the students in the experimental group had a significantly higher learning efficiency in coding literacy than those in the control group. Moreover, according to the qualitative analysis using student interviews, Arduino boards were found to improve students’ motivation to learn coding and to aid in systematically guiding students toward improving their coding literacy by combining their learning with DBL theory. Thus, Arduino technology can be effectively used to improve students’ programming abilities and their operational thinking in practically applying programming theories.
