• Physical activity during education outside the classroom and its associations with pupils’ psychological need satisfaction and intrinsic school motivation

  Open Access•Sara Rudbæk Larsen, Silje Mikkelsen et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences & Humanities Open•2026

  Incluir item

  Pupils’ physical activity (PA) and motivation for learning decline through the school years, prompting interest in approaches that sustain engagement while supporting psychological and physical health. Education outside the classroom (EOtC) has been associated with higher intrinsic motivation and PA. However, it remains unclear whether improvements in motivation for school during EOtC associate with observed PA levels. This study examined whether…

  Nurturing relationships are crucial for adaptive child development. The objectives of the study were to investigate whether nature availability was associated with early nurturing parenting practices, mother-infant bonding, and infant socioemotional function. Data were from the Australian Temperament Project ( n = 809 infants to 515 parents residing in Victoria, Australia) and were linked cross-sectionally to residential greenness (i.e., Normaliz…

  Education outside the classroom (EOtC) has become an attractive approach, not only for learning but also for health. This explorative, cross-sectional study investigated children's sedentary behaviours (SED), light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) on school days with an EOtC session in green space compared to school days with EOtC in other environments and without EOtC. Teachers from 17 Danish school classes practised EO…

  Open Access•Lærke Mygind, Matt P Stevenson et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2018

  Incluir item

  Stress during childhood can have mental and somatic health influences that track throughout life. Previous research attributes stress-reducing effects to natural environments, but has mainly focused on adults and often following leisurely relaxation in natural environments. This pilot study explores the impact of natural environments on stress response during rest and mental load and cognitive performance in 47 children aged 10−12 years in a scho…

• A school excursion to a museum can promote physical activity in children by integrating movement into curricular activities

  Open Access•Lærke Mygind, Tine Kryger et al.•ARTICLE•European Physical Education Review•2017•Citada por: 2

  Incluir item

  Since children spend a large proportion of their time in institutional settings such as schools, health promotion researchers have identified this as an important setting to promote physical activity (PA). Apart from physical education, PA could be integrated into the school curriculum in other ways. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether a school excursion to a museum can increase primary school students’ PA and reduce sedentary…

  This paper presents a scoping study of the written materials used in 19 health promoting exhibitions presented at American and European museums and science centres, with the aim of assessing and discussing their health promotion potentials. Our descriptive results provide an overview of the exhibition context, and the five action areas of the WHO Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion were used as a theoretical framework for analysing the breadth of…

  During the past decade, museum professionals have increasingly involved external participants in exhibition development. In this paper, we review empirical studies of this popular approach to participatory exhibition development practice, with regard to methods, degrees of participation, rationales, obstacles and facilitating factors. These influences include cultural differences between external participants and museum professionals; level and f…

  In this paper, we argue that place mapping is useful for approaching children's conception of place and that this is of relevance when designing physical activity interventions. We contend that socio-material factors influence children's perception and use of places, and are crucial to understand in relation to their use of local neighbourhoods for physical activity. A place mapping of children's understandings and everyday use of their local nei…
