...PEP Grant on Elementary Physical Education Programs in One School District” 1. For my fifth research study analysis, I chose a study that focused on the impact of a grant on physical education in elementary schools. Many of the studies and research I have read led to one main issue, or one necessity, and that was money and funding to make the physical activity impactful in the schools and for the children. I wanted to understand how a grant either helped or didn’t help the improvement of physical education programs and the impacts it made for the schools. I found this research study through .OneSearch (EBSCO) via UNF and I searched “physical education in elementary schools”. To narrow down my search, I made...

...Assignment 1 Project Analysis EDU 533 IDENTIFIED NEED Many schools cut physical education and physical education funding with the trust that more rigid classroom time would somehow encourage students to learn more. Students need sufficient amounts of physical exercise throughout the school day, not only does physical fitness prevent obesity and obesity-related issues, but it also improves students overall personal health. Physical education is critical to educating all students in grades K-12 and students should receive physical education on a daily basis. K-12 students should take all required physical education courses and have no substitutions, waivers, or exemptions should be permitted except for medical reasons. Physical fitness education should be recognized as part of the total education curriculum. Exercise directly impacts the behavior and development of the brain and physical activity has benefits beyond improved students grades, physical activity improves absenteeism, student’s dropout rates, and social connectedness (Graham, 2008).

...The Benefits Of Having Children Attend Pre School Education Essay Abstract This report covers the benefit of sending children to pre-school before kindergarten. Literature review is used to explore the research existing in this field. It will help us to understand what effect pre-school has on children. Such programs are also discussed in the paper which is conducting training for preschoolers for their development. This paper not only covers that academic aspect but also sheds light on the benefits preschool education has on social and emotional aspects of children's life. After collecting this information, it will be collaborated with the findings of this research paper using different research technique. In the end, the paper will be concluded along with some suggestions. Introduction In this competitive world it is very important to train the children in such a way that they are not left behind. Study shows that with pre-school training, children show much developed skills of learning when they enter kindergarten. If a child is being read to at home, visits museums, learns how to play a game and reads along someone then it is more likely that his/her learning abilities are polished and ready for kindergarten (Stube & Patrick, 2010). Pre-school is a planned program for children before they start their formal education. It deals with the learning ability of a child. Children are trained in such a way that their learning abilities are enhanced. Specified techniques are...

State of California (University of California, Los Angeles) Year Paper wws rr School Facility Conditions and Student Academic Achievement Glen I. Earthman Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University This paper is posted at the eScholarship Repository, University of California. http://repositories.cdlib.org/idea/wws/wws-rr008-1002 Copyright c 2002 by the author. School Facility Conditions and Student Academic Achievement Abstract This paper shows that the condition of school facilities has an important impact on student performance and teacher effectiveness. In particular, research demonstrates that comfortable classroom temperature and noise level are very important to efficient student performance. The age of school buildings is a useful proxy in this regard, since older facilities often have problems with thermal environment and noise level. A number of studies have measured overall building condition and its connection to student performance; these have consistently shown that students attending schools in better condition outperform students in substandard buildings by several percentage points. School building conditions also influence teacher effectiveness. Teachers report that physical improvements greatly enhance the teaching environment. Finally, school overcrowding also makes it harder for students to learn; this effect is...

...Critique Does HOPSports Promote Youth Physical Activity in Physical Education Classes? The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity levels of youth that were engaged in HOPS based physical education classes to those who were engaged in regular physical education classes. This was a longitudinal intervention study where children in grades 4th-8th participated in. The sample size of this study was 387. When using the HOPS program the children were significantly more active. This study suggest that HOPS can be the most effective way to promote diverse and dynamic program options that physical education teachers cannot. With the possibility of increasing physical education classes because of budget the use of this technology may be beneficial to increase physical activity and fight rising levels of youth obesity. The specific research problem that has been identified in this study is that physical inactivity of youth due to rising levels of watching television, videogame use, and obesity. The youth today are less engaged in the outside world and are less physically active than when their parents were younger. Youths today increased use of technology can be linked to reduced leisure time physical activity because these activities take up the same time where kids can be engaging in different kinds of physical activities. This is a quantitative study because it measures minutes of moderate and vigorous physical activity achieved with HOPSports compared...

...machine, perhaps makes problematic the notion of the body as 'natural' because it is no longer just a biological entity, but a socially constructed product and ultimately, to gain distinction, a 'body for others.' The body for others “is the visible manifestation of the person, of the 'idea it wants to give of itself', its 'character', i.e. its values and capacities."[2] This manifestation of the body is influenced by the person's 'taste', social field and 'habitus'. Bourdieu defines taste as an incorporated principle of classification which governs all forms of incorporation, choosing and modifying everything that the body ingests and digests and assimilates, physiologically and psychologically.[3] Taste is thus determined by class, according to Bourdieu. This is significant because "People develop preferences for what is available to them."[4] These preferences are formed from a mixture of economic, social and cultural 'capitals' that will be discussed and evaluated later in the essay. A social field is a “network of social relations that follows rules and regularities that are not directly explicit."[5] Society today is composed of many specialised fields that value certain 'bodies' more than others and that value certain social practices more than others. The rules of the field, its regulations and the participation...

...instructional materials and teacher quality influence students’ academic performance(environmental factors) in any way affected academic performance of students. A cross sectional design was employed with a sample size of 302 senior four students who were randomly selected from eight secondary schools. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data from students while an interview guide was used to gather qualitative data from teachers and head teachers. The study also employed an observation checklist. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in form of frequency counts and percentages; and inferential statistics using the t-test and ANOVA technique to test the null hypotheses. Ultimately, the results of the analysis led the researcher to conclude that the three independent variables significantly affect students' academic performance. On the basis of the research findings, it was recommended that for significant changes in students’ performance to be effective, schools should see to it that they put in place quality infrastructure....

...Additionally, the F-change of 61.22 is statistically significant. For every extra $30,000 that a respondent makes in this model, their perceived health quality improves by 0.121 on the health scale. Even though this is slightly less of a change than the first model, every extra year of education that a respondent gets also improves their health by 0.053 on the health scale. Additionally, the F change is statistically significant, which portrays how education is beneficial to the model. Even though the third model does not have a statistically significant F-change, the combination of family income, years of education, and if the respondent is female can account for 10% of the variability in perceived conditions of health. In this model, the slopes for family income and education remain statistically significant and generally similar to model 2. However, if a respondent is female does not have a statistically significant relationship on perceived quality of...
