The purpose of this study was to implement a comprehensive teaching program based on the principles of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model and questioning, and to assess its consequences for students’ satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivation, perceptions of ability and intention to be physically active during Physical Education lessons in primary education. A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Participants were 111 students from two different groups of fifth and sixth graders, all enrolled in one primary school. Participants were divided into experimental and control group. Experimental group experienced a TGfU unit, according to small side games and the questioning. Control group experienced a small side games unit, without questioning. Within-group results showed that experimental group students reported significantly higher mean scores in all dependents variables of the study, in both genders. Results showed that control group only reported significantly higher mean scores in intention to be physically active variable, also in both genders. The results demonstrate the need to implement didactic units under comprehensive pedagogical approaches to improve motivation and the intention to develop healthy lifestyle habits in female and male students. More researches are needed to support this evidence.

There are previous studies in the literature conducted on the effect of play-based math activities on the mathematical skills, language, and cognitive development of preschool children. However, the number of studies conducted to determine the effect of play-based math activities on different areas of development in preschool children was too few. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of play-based math activities on different developmental areas (personal-social, fine motor, language, and gross motor development) of children 48 to 60 months of age. The pretest/posttest quasi-experimental research design with control and experimental groups was employed in this study. The research group of this study is composed of 45 children 22 of whom (10 girls and 12 boys) were in the experimental group and 23 (10 girls and 13 boys) in the control group. Denver II Developmental Screening Test was used as the data collection tool. As a result, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the subscales and pretest-posttest total scores concerning personal-social, fine motor, and language areas in the experimental group, while there was no statistically significant difference in the gross motor subscale. In addition, it was observed that there was statistically no significant difference between pretest–posttest scores concerning personal-social, fine motor, language, gross motor subscales and total scores of the control group. The result revealed that play-based math activities have a positive effect on personal-social, fine motor, language, and gross motor developments of children. Further studies can be planned to investigate the effects of play-based mathematics education integrated with different activities where children can have fun and be physically active on children’s developmental areas.

Low self-esteem is also associated with poverty, it is necessary to have an effort to accept the conditions of life first. One of the simple characteristics of the acceptance effort is gratitude. Gratitude is a strong predictor to increase hope and happiness in adolescents who experience poverty. This research was designed as experimental group in X secondary school. The group was consisted of 6 respondents without a control group. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental (one group pretest-posttest) using the Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSSE) with a reliability coefficient of 0.88. The implementation of the gratitude intervention was designed using an intervention module from the aspect of the Indonesian grateful scale (SBI) and it was neither just a list of words of gratitude nor gratefulness. This gratitude intervention is done by inviting participants to focus on positive aspects of life, exploring positive emotions by recalculating the blessings of life that have been received from God and others. To sum up, these findings provide new findings in the use of gratitude intervention that focuses on the divine aspect. The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences in respondent's self-esteem before and after administration of the gratitude intervention, with self-esteem (RSSE) (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.042, p <0.05). This discussion focuses on the implications generated for Gratitude literature which are adapted to Indonesian cultural values. Harga diri yang rendah juga terkait dengan kemiskinan, maka diperlukan adanya usaha penerimaan kondisi kehidupannya terlebih dahulu. Salah satu karakteristik sederhana sebagai upaya penerimaan tersebut yakni dengan rasa bersyukur. Rasa bersyukur merupakan prediktor yang kuat untuk meningkatkan harapan dan kebahagiaan pada remaja yang mengalami kondisi miskin sekalipun. Penelitian ini diberikan kepada satu kelompok eksperimen yang terdiri dari 6 responden tanpa adanya kelompok kontrol di salah satu sekolah menengah pertama (SMP) terbuka X di Jakarta Utara. Desain penelitian ini merupakan quasi eksperimen (one group pretest-posttest) dengan menggunakan Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSSE) dengan hasil koefisien reliabilitas sebesar 0.88. Pelaksanaan pelatihan rasa bersyukur ini dirancang dengan menggunakan modul intervensi dari aspek skala bersyukur Indonesia (SBI) dan bukan hanya sekedar daftar ucapan rasa bersyukur atau terimakasih. Pelatihan kebersyukuran ini dilakukan dengan mengajak partisipan untuk fokus terhadap aspek positif dalam hidup, mengeksplorasi emosi positif dengan menghitung kembali berkah kehidupan yang telah diterima dari Tuhan dan orang lain. Singkatnya, temuan ini memberikan temuan baru dalam penggunaan intervensi rasa bersyukur yang berfokus pada aspek keTuhanan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada harga diri responden sebelum dan sesudah pemberian pelatihan kebersyukuran, dengan nilai self-esteem (RSSE) (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.042, p< 0.05 Diskusi ini berfokus pada implikasi yang dihasilkan untuk literature bersyukur yang disesuaikan dengan nilai-nilai budaya Indonesia.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal resaltar la vital importancia que tiene la motivación en el contexto educativo. Para ello, se presenta el desarrollo de una propuesta de intervención basada en el factor novedad como elemento mediador para incrementar la motivación de los alumnos en las clases de Educación Física. Para su puesta en práctica, se diseñó una Unidad Didáctica, la cual fue implementada con el grupo experimental, incluyendo como factor novedad un juego alternativo desconocido para el alumnado, el Colpbol. Por otra parte, con el grupo control se trabajaron aquellos contenidos que recogía la programación didáctica en el momento del curso en el que se llevó a cabo el estudio. Finalmente, mediante el instrumento BNSGS-Evento, se comparó el grado de motivación del alumnado en los factores que lo componen, mostrando mejoras en el grupo experimental con respecto al grupo control, siendo la novedad un factor determinante en la motivación que los alumnos presentan en las clases de Educación Física. Abstract. The main aim of this work is to highlight the vital importance of motivation in the educational context. To do this, the development of an intervention based on novelty as a mediating element to increase students’ motivation in Physical Education lessons is proposed. A work unit was designed to implement the program on an experimental group, including an alternative game, Colpbol, unknown by the students, as the novelty element. On the other hand, the control group was presented with the contents already included in the didactic program for the duration of the period corresponding to the intervention program. Students’ motivation degree was compared based on its factors through the BNSGS-Event instrument, showing improvements in the experimental group with respect to the control group, being novelty a determining factor in the motivation that students reported in the Physical Education lessons.

La presente investigación pretendió analizar los efectos del uso del blog educativo (i.e. Edublog) sobre la coeducación, compromiso con esta herramienta digital, calificación e intención de ser físicamente activo en clase de educación física en educación primaria. El estudio corresponde con un diseño cuasi-experimental, usando un grupo control, a priori, no equivalente y, un grupo experimental para una muestra total de 40 estudiantes de educación primaria (50.50% chicas; Medad = 10.55, DTedad = .51). Se tomaron medidas acerca del conocimiento de equidad y calificación al final del programa de intervención, medidas sobre la implicación con el Edublog durante todo el programa, mientras que la intención de ser físicamente activo se evaluó al inicio y al final del programa. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de conocimiento de equidad, implicación con el Edublog y calificación a favor del grupo experimental. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de intención de ser físicamente activo entre ambos grupos. A modo de conclusión, el Edublog puede ser un recurso didáctico tenido en cuenta por el profesorado a la hora de mejorar las experiencias educativas del alumnado de educación primaria cuando participa en educación física.AbstractThis research aimed at examining the effects of the usage of the educational blog (or Edublog) on coeducation, commitment to this digital tool, grades and intention to be physically active in Physical Education lessons in Primary school. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with, a priori, a non-equivalent control group and an experimental group for a total of 40 primary school students (50.50% girls; Mage = 10.55, SDage = .51). Measures on knowledge of equity and grades were taken at the end of the intervention programme, measures on a commitment to Edublog were collected throughout the programme, while the intention to be physically active were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of knowledge of equity, the commitment of Edublog and grades a favour of the experimental group. There was a nonsignificant difference in the level of intention to be physically active among both groups. In conclusion, Edublog can be a learning recourse to be considered by teachers in improving primary school students’ educational experiences when they participate in Physical Education.

Several international institutions emphasize the need to develop a comprehensive education in STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) to improve learning, competences and student perception of these subjects. The general objective of this study was to analyze the teaching effectiveness, from a cognitive and emotional perspective, of a STEM workshop versus an academic-expositional methodology in the science classroom in primary education. The research design was quasi-experimental with a control group, an experimental group, a pre-test and two post-tests. By means of a randomized probabilistic sampling, 256 students between 10 and 12 years old participated. Cognitive, emotional, attitudinal and gender variables were analyzed according to two teaching methodologies, an expository academic methodology for the control group and an active methodology based on the development of a practical STEM workshop for the experimental group. The results reveal that both methodologies are equally effective in short-term learning, but statistically significant differences are found in long-term learning, in favor of STEM workshops. Likewise, the STEM workshop mainly generates positive emotions and attitudes in the students compared to the transmission-reception methodology applied with the control group.

Background: active lifestyles and Physical Activity (PA) are closely related to health. Healthy habits such as being physically active should be consolidated during childhood. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) present fewer opportunities to be involved in PA. For this reason, we conducted a Service-Learning (SL) program to enhance the possibility of participating ASD children enjoying PA sessions. The aim of this study was to analyze and describe the evolution in terms of the frequency and intensity of PA performed by ASD children who participated in the SL program. Methods: we used a quasi-experimental design. The sample was formed by 26 children with ASD (Experimental group: n = 16; 4 girls, 12 boys) (Control group: n = 10; 1 girl, 9 boys) with ASD level 1. Results: after the intervention program, moderate PA during the week increased significantly (Pre-Median: 92.04, Range: 35.71–126.47 min; Post-Median: 212.67, Range: 99.75, 271.04 min) (p ≤ 0.001). When comparing both groups, the tendency to do PA in the Experimental group remained more stable. Also, the improvements in moderate intensities were higher in the Experimental group after the intervention. Conclusion: a six-month SL program improved the moderate PA routines of ASD children. However, longer programs and longitudinal studies are required.

An Army soldier must be able to foster physical fitness so that his body becomes healthy and can carry out his main duties to maintain the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effect of adding core stability exercise to increasing the value of physical fitness B in soldiers. Quasi experimental design research held at Yon Armed 4 Cimahi. A sample of 20 soldiers divided into 2 groups. The dependent variable is the physical fitness score B and the independent variable is the core stability exercise. Exercise is carried out for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times per week. The difference in test results between the experimental group and the control group both before and after core stability exercise was tested by independent T test. There was a difference in the mean physical fitness scores between the experimental group (Mean= 85.80; SD= 2.82) and the control group (Mean= 82.50; SD= 2.32) before the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (p= 0.011). There was a difference in physical fitness scores before and after the intervention between the experimental group (Mean= 3.90; SD= 1.52) and the control group (Mean= 1.60; SD= 0.70) and statistically significant (p < 0.001), with effect size = 1.94. Conclusion core stability exercise is effective to increase the physical fitness value of B on soldiers of Yon Armed 4 Cimahi

The development of numerical thinking in primary education is an important aspect of children's mathematical training, since it allows for a general understanding of numbers and operations in order to facilitate the development of their handling and application. The work allows the implementation of a pedagogical strategy based on didactic engineering, which allows students to identify and formulate questions related to the management and understanding of numbers and their basic operations together with the decision to approach individually and which ones in a group way while planning and making decisions in their development and evaluation of results. The study is framed in the quantitative paradigm, in a quasi-experimental design, working with control and experimental groups. Pre-test is applied to identify the development of numerical thinking in students and as a support to the design of the intervention proposal. Once the proposal is developed, it is evaluated by means of a post-test that allows identifying significant improvements in the numerical thinking of the children of the experimental group in comparison with those of the control group. This leads to the conclusion that the developed intervention contributes favorably to the development of numerical thinking in children.
