This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial number of adolescent girls are insufficiently active to achieve the health benefits and well-being associated with physical activity (PA). Physical education (PE) classes can provide part of the solution, yet most girls opt out of PE when it is no longer mandatory. Improvements in PE course content and learning environments can motivate adolescent girls to participate. Self-determination theory (SDT) provides a framework to examine the motivational processes of girls in PE. This qualitative case study explored female students' motivation towards physical activity in one elective PE 10-12 course tailored to meet their interests and needs. A secondary objective was to determine if the pre-requisites and outcomes of their motivation were consistent with the constructs of SDT. Emerging themes reflected the elements of SDT. The students expressed that their needs were supported by the teacher through the PE course content and learning environment. Many stated that they felt motivated because they now enjoyed PE. Positive outcomes included PA participation, positive affect towards PE and PA, meaningful learning, and a sense of well-being. This study provides physical educators with insight to improve physical activity motivation and participation of female students in elective PE.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to explore how social relationships and environmental settings impact physical activity attitudes and behaviors for adolescent girls. Guided by a social ecological framework and following a phenomenological interpretive tradition, focus group interviews were conducted with 32 adolescent girls (17 African American, 15 Caucasian) between the ages of 11 and 13 who attended public middle schools. Adolescent girls indicated that parents and peers play a significant role in shaping their physical activity behaviors as does the physical and social environments in which they live. Themes that emerged from the analyses of data include (a) differing conceptualizations of physical activity, (b) parents and peers as facilitators of activity, (c) lack of girls' active space in school and neighborhood environments, and (d) policy restrictions on girls' access to physical activity time. African American girls reported conceiving of physical activity as unstructured play, often outside, where as White girls indicated they considered physical activity to be closely related to adult-directed, organized sport. Girls described a desire to engage in more physical activities with the mothers and other female relatives. A lack of playground space at school and unsafe community environments hindered the amount of activity in which girls engaged. Educational policies that prevent middle school girls from participating in school sport programs, as well as restricting recess and lunch periods to inside spaces impeded access to desired physical activity outlets by middle school girls in this study. Findings support previous research and extend understanding of girls' perceptions of physical activity by allowing girls to voice their opinions and concerns."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerfully argued and progressive study, Kimberly Oliver and David Kirk call for a radical reconstruction of the teaching of physical education for girls. Despite forty years of theorization and practical intervention, girls are still disengaging from physical education, dropping out of physical activity, and suffering negative consequences in terms of their health and well-being as a result. This book challenges the conventional narrative that girls are somehow to blame for this disengagement, and instead identifies important new ways of working with girls, developing a new pedagogical model for ‘girl-friendly’ physical education. The book locates our understanding of the experiences of girls in physical education in the broader context of young people’s multifaceted engagements with popular physical culture. Adopting an activist perspective, it outlines a programme of action informed by principled pragmatism and based on four critical elements: student-centred pedagogy; critical study of embodiment; inquiry-based physical education centred-in-action, and listening and responding to girls over time. It explores the implications of this new thinking for teaching, research, PETE and policy, and outlines a future agenda for work in this area. Offering a profound theoretical critique of contemporary research and practice, as well as a new programme of action, Girls, Gender and Physical Education is essential reading for all researchers, advanced students and practitioners with an interest in the issues of gender, equity and inclusion in physical education.

Download or read book Perceptions of PETE Students about Boys' and Girls' Participation in Elementary and High School Physical Education written by Michael Cicchillitti and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scholars have advocated the need to explore the nature and role of teacher beliefs in teacher education (O'Sullivan, 1996, 2003; Wilson & Berne, 1999; Zeichner, 1999) as they can influence teacher behaviour (Pajares, 1992). Unfortunately, research has shown that many in-service physical education (PE) teachers display gender-biased behaviours, beliefs and practices when interacting with students in a PE setting (Davis, 2003), which in turn, may affect students' participation in PE. However, few studies have investigated these issues from a physical education teacher education (PETE) student belief perspective. This qualitative case study explored how PETE students perceived the participation of girls and boys in PE at the elementary and high school level. Additionally, it attempted to identify any gender-biased beliefs that PETE students may hold about girls' and boys' participation in PE. The PETE students were six females and six males from the same university PETE program in Eastern Canada. Guided by the theory of occupational socialization (Lawson, 1983a, 1983b), data were collected through interviews, questionnaires and checklists. Thematic analyses were performed on verbatim transcriptions of interviews. Four themes were generated from the data: PE participation, PE activity preferences, experiences before PETE and experiences during PETE. The results revealed that female and male PETE students held both similar and different views towards girls' and boys' participation in elementary and high school PE. Additionally, some strong gender-role stereotypes emerged from their discussions. Training in qualitative methods, pilot work, and researcher reflexivity were employed to establish trustworthiness. Initial findings from this study may provide teacher educators with a deeper understanding of how some PETE students view the participation of girls and boys in PE. " --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine middle school females' perceptions of physical activity, eating, and physical health. This research considers several key issues, including high obesity rates, girls' lack of physical activity, the decrease in physical activity during adolescence, and teenagers' failure to meet nutritional guidelines. A qualitative approach was selected to gain a deeper understanding of the significance girls place on these health behaviors and some of the factors that go into their decisions about leisure time activity and eating. Four focus groups were conducted in central North Carolina with a total of 28 girls in sixth through eighth grades. Data were analyzed with ATLAS.ti 5.2. Four themes emerged from the analysis: perceptions of health, social norms, family, and enjoyment. Recommendations are given for ways to encourage healthy diets and PA participation in adolescent girls.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
