How Growth Mindset Can Help Us Improve Physical Education
There are many reasons why students struggle to engage in physical education (PE). A key factor that might help is a growth-oriented environment. Growth Mindset Theory challenges traditional teaching methods that use a “fixed” mindset and investigates an “open” mindset grounded in psychological research emphasizing the importance of effort, perseverance, and learning from failure. Studies indicate that students who perceive their abilities as unc…
Evaluating a Nutrition Education Program's Impact on Knowledge and Eating Behavior Among Low‐Income Youth
BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity disproportionately affects low-income Hispanic children. After-school programs (ASPs) provide opportunities to address nutritional disparities through targeted educational interventions. METHODS: This study evaluated a 5-week general nutrition education program in 80 third- to sixth-grade students at a Title I elementary school. Nutrition knowledge, self-efficacy, and dietary behaviors were assessed using the Healthy…
Comprehensive Strategies for Managing School-based Physical Activity during Extreme Heat
Students spend the majority of their waking hours at school, making it a critical setting for promoting physical activity across multiple contexts (e.g., recess, physical education, before- and after-school programs, and sports). However, extreme heat conditions pose significant challenges for schools in ensuring these PA opportunities remain both safe and accessible. To ensure students can stay active in hot conditions, school staff should be aw…
“I Need the Shade”
BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated how heat impacts play from the perspective of children. The purpose of this study was to explore children's experiences of recess play during high temperatures. METHODS: We used the draw-and-tell method to retrospectively explore the experiences of recess during hot weather among students (N = 38) between the ages of 5-12 attending four elementary schools in one school district in Arizona (United States).…
Evaluating the impact of an after-school program on overhand throwing and perceived motor competence among students from low socio-economic backgrounds in the U.S
The study examined the effect of a 5-week Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) on overhand throw skills and perceived motor competence in students from low socio-economic backgrounds. Participants were children recruited from a Title 1 school in the Southwest U.S. Students were assigned to either CSPAP condition ( n = 60, 26 boys, 34 girls; Mgrade = 4.27, SD = .43) or a control condition ( n = 20, 7 boys, 13 girls; Mgrade = 4.00…
Unlocking Educational Potential
The recent emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has significantly influenced different fields, including education. One notable example is ChatGPT, an AI-driven large language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI. This tool holds potential for supporting both teachers and students in the teaching and learning process. While some fields of education have benefitted from using ChatGPT to enhance learning, there is a gap in the literature conc…
