Studying the reality of the sports infrastructure in maintaining an acceptable level of aggressiveness among primary school pupils for raising Al-Karkh / 2


 The sports infrastructure and physical education lessons are of great importance in providing an atmosphere of activity and entertainment and getting out of the atmosphere of scientific and literary lessons and the high pressure that the student suffers from, and this affects the behavior of the pupils in the classroom and the school and its effect on the lesson. It is based on aggressive behavior within its calculated limits and set goals for this research through knowing the reality of the infrastructure and its effects on the behavior of students. The researcher assumed the existence of statistically significant differences between the mathematical infrastructure and the aggressive behavior of students with its acceptable limits. Education Al-Karkh / 2 and a sample of students, teachers, and administrations, and the results were identical to what the researcher went to, which appeared through the results of Chapter Four and the most important conclusions:1-The absence of the mathematical infrastructure has a prominent role in suppressing the movement of pupils, which is reflected by the student in the classroom.2-The pupils ’aggressive behavior is acceptable to teachers at its minimum due to the large number of students in the classroom or the absence of the student’s sports and entertainment infrastructure.The most important recommendations:1- The sports infrastructure should be taken care of in a way that suits the numbers of students.2- Increasing the quotas for the physical education lesson.3-The introduction of teachers in developmental courses for the subject of educational psychology.

Coeducation in physical education in Switzerland – A national inventory of the legal basis and its implementation

Introduction In Switzerland, sporting activity among girls and young women has increased in recent years. In comparison, however, boys and young men continue to show a higher level of sporting activity at every age level and in all language regions (Lamprecht et al., 2021). As physical education (PE) lessons are an important socialisation factor for extracurricular sports activities, the question arises as to how PE is taught in Switzerland to do justice to the genders. To date, there has been little scientific research in Switzerland into which cantons implement coeducational PE and which legal or regulatory bases they rely on. Due to this research gap, this contribution will analyse which cantons implement coeducational PE and to what extent these can be linked to the legal bases or language-regional curricula. Methods With the help of a document analysis of the current legal and regulatory bases as well as the three language-regional curricula a national inventory of the existing guidelines is conducted. Furthermore, a qualitative survey of all cantonal school offices analyses the current situation regarding coeducational PE lessons in compulsory education in Switzerland. Results The results indicate that there are level-specific, cantonal, and language-regional differences. Language cultural differences are particularly evident at lower secondary school level, since in the German-speaking cantons PE lessons are mostly mono-educational and in the French and Italian-speaking cantons they are usually coeducational (Hayoz, under review). Discussion In the German-speaking cantons, especially for lower secondary level, the organisational recommendations given in these curricula are used by the municipalities and schools to make and legitimise their decisions. This recommendation can be critically reflected upon and discussed regarding the holistic educational goals of compulsory schooling, as the aim is to provide competence-orientated PE lessons and to promote interdisciplinary skills. According to Alfermann (1992), it must be questioned why precisely this differentiation feature – and no other heterogeneity feature – is used to divide the existing classes. Although performance is a constitutive characteristic for schools and for sport in general, performance is merely one “pedagogical perspective” among many for PE lessons (Frohn, 2019). Conclusion In order to analyse the specific didactic implementation of mono- and coeducational teaching in PE and to better understand the language-cultural differences, further national studies would be necessary at both local as well as school level.

Applying ADDIE Model to Develop Multimedia Lessons for Adolescent Reproductive Health Education in Uganda

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a multimedia application intervention for adolescent sexual reproductive health education in secondary schools in Uganda. The lack of access to quality reproductive health education and services, exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, contributes to unplanned pregnancies, health complications, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among adolescents in Uganda. Researchers and teachers collaborated to create multimedia lessons covering topics such as sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and SGBV for adolescents in participating schools. The educational content and format were co-designed to better incorporate the local context and address priority issues by involving end users of the software (adolescents and their teachers) as content contributors during the development phase. The innovative multimedia application was developed using the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model. A student manual was also created as a teaching tool, providing educators with lesson introductions and guiding questions for post-lesson group discussions. The manual includes a simplified print version of the educational content, ensuring that students and teachers in schools without ICT resources can benefit from the intervention. Questionnaires were developed and administered to 14 Results indicate that all 14 trained teachers demonstrated improved knowledge about the use of multimedia applications to deliver adolescent-friendly sexual reproductive health (SRH) education. Additionally, all 14 teachers self-reported that the multimedia application is a feasible and acceptable method to deliver adolescent-friendly SRH education.

Teaching modules on sports tests within the physical education discipline from the State University of Moldova. methodological approaches

The volume of hours allocated for studying or learning a sport module/ test, during a semester, only within the physical education lesson in USM is insufficient, a fact confirmed by the theories of physical education and sport. For the effective implementation of the educational process and the realization of the curricular contents, university teaching staff are always looking for new solutions, applying complex strategies to face the new requirements imposed on the discipline. One of the solutions that has proven its effectiveness in physical education and sports is the algorithmization of the contents specific to the sports modules/ tests. The purpose of this research is to develop the teaching-learning evaluation algorithm of the modules within the university physical education discipline to make the educational process more efficient, but also to focus on the training of specific skills for the students included in the process.

The Position of the Warm-up in School Physical Education Lessons

The essence of the presented research is to use a video study to analyse the position of the warm-up in physical education lessons at the lower secondary schools in the Zlín region. The research has a descriptive character and is quantitatively oriented.Based on the data analysis, it was found that out of the total time of the physical education teaching unit, the actual length of a physical education lesson was on average 36 minutes and 30 seconds. The warming up was devoted to an average of 6 minutes and 22 seconds of the actual length of the physical education lesson.Another finding was a connection between the content of the warming up and the main part in most teaching units. The warming up was led mainly by teachers (15 teaching units) and pupils (14 teaching units). In the warming up, mobilization (dynamic) exercises and static stretching were the most common. The teacher's most common activity was to point out mistakes that students made during practice. The other most common activities (except for the category "other", where more things were included: such as organization, health solutions, etc.) were verbal instructions. The most common organization of position is the so-called "free in space".Warming up has its place in physical education lessons. It is proved by not only that the warm-up took place in all monitored physical education but also the physical education teachers have the interest to include innovative elements (not only) into the warming up. This fact opens another possibility in the field of education of physical education teachers.

Assessing the impact of remote learning on student engagement: Lessons from global educational responses to crisis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a global shift towards remote learning in education systems worldwide. This study aims to assess the impact of remote learning on student engagement by examining global educational responses to the crisis. Through a qualitative approach and extensive literature review using library research methods, this research explores the lessons learned from various countries' experiences with remote learning during the pandemic. The analysis focuses on key factors influencing student engagement, including access to technology, teacher-student interaction, curriculum adaptation, and socio-economic disparities. Findings reveal both challenges and opportunities associated with remote learning. While technological limitations and digital divide pose significant barriers to student engagement, innovative teaching strategies, collaborative efforts, and flexible curriculum adjustments have emerged as effective solutions. Furthermore, the study identifies the importance of teacher support, parental involvement, and student motivation in enhancing engagement in remote learning environments. The insights gained from this research provide valuable lessons for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders in designing effective strategies to improve student engagement in remote learning settings, both during crises and beyond.

Knowledge and Teaching Competencies of Physical Education Teachers on Students with Special Needs in the Central Region, Ghana

Background: This research investigated the inclusion of students with special needs during Physical Education lessons in the Central Region, Ghana. Many learners only observe during Physical Education lessons because the teachers simply ignore them or are challenged with how to integrate them into the lessons. There were also challenges with the nature of the facilities and equipment available for lesson delivery. Methodology: A concurrent research design was used thus, combining both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The design selected presents the best perspective of the issues. Participants were made up of 230 respondents sampled from Senior High Schools purposively consisting of 116 Physical Education teachers and 114 students with disabilities. The qualitative data was thematically analysed according to the objectives. Chi square was used for the analysis of the quantitative data. Results: Many Physical Education teachers perceived inclusive Physical Education as a right to full participation for every learner; therefore, expected full participation by all students irrespective of their physical, mental status, sex orientation ethnic origin but confirmed that they did not have adequate knowledge, expertise and are challenged in other ways to successful integrate students with special needs at their lessons. Conclusion: Physical Education teachers perceived inclusive education as a right for everyone including persons with disability. Though they had some training in inclusive education, they were not equipped enough to handle persons with special in their PE lessons to the appreciable level. They supported the idea of including students with special needs during their lessons due to the benefits they will gain but of the opinion that this most often disrupts the harmony of their teaching because they are unable to handle them the best way.

Examination of Physical Education and Sports Courses in Educational Systems (Germany and Türkiye Example)

It is seen that education systems all over the world have basic sciences, arts and sports courses within each structure. The importance of sports classes is increasing day by day in today's world where sedentary lifestyle increases with the age of digitalization. Physical education and sports lessons are important in order to meet the exercise needs of children who have the ability but are not able to do professional sports. When we study the historical development of physical education and sports in Turkey, we can say that it is mostly influenced by the German education system and educators after the 1920s. German gymnasts worked as physical education and sports teachers in the Ministry of Education. In short, physical education and sports education and its curriculum in the Turkish education system have been influenced by the German education system for years. The aim of this study is to examine the physical education and sports courses in Turkish and German current education systems. As a result of the research, it is seen that although Turkish-German education systems are very different from each other, there is one or more weekly lessons per class in physical education and sports curricula. It is seen that the biggest difference is in primary education. The course carried out with the name of physical education and games in the primary schools in Turkey is carried out 5 hours a week in the grades 1-3 and 2 hours a week in the 4th grade. While the average class hour of 4 years is 17 in Turkey, this number is 11 hours in Germany.

A Model for Effective Learning in Competition: A Pedagogical Tool to Enhance Enjoyment and Perceptions of Competency in Physical Education Lessons for Young Children.

To date, little research on competition has focused on young children (6-7-year-olds). A total of ninety-seven participants (51 boys and 46 girls) from two English primary schools completed two physical education (PE) lessons, which included three different activity challenges. The control group undertook the same activities in both lessons. The experimental group did likewise but were set high-, low-, or mid-level targets in lesson two based on individual scores from lesson one. The children completed a post-session questionnaire to assess (i) enjoyment levels and (ii) which activity they perceived they performed best in. The results found that children both improved and enjoyed the lesson most when low- or mid-level targets were set. Indeed, when targets were absent (in the control group), children's competency scores regressed. Likewise, children perceived that they performed best in the activity where lower targets were set. Their perceived competency included both tangible and intangible reasons. From these results, it is recommended that for practitioners working with 6-7-year-old children, the most effective learning in competition uses individualised and competitive targets and challenges as a means to garner greater enjoyment in PE. Understanding each child's self-efficacy and motivation is key, which requires ongoing evaluation and assessment during PE lessons.

Physical Activity, Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Body Dissatisfaction in Physical Education of Extremadura Adolescents: An Exploratory Study.

In recent years, physical activity levels among youths have declined significantly. This has led to a decline in adherence to physical activity recommendations. In this sense, physical education offers an ideal environment that contributes positively to improving adherence to physical activity recommendations, as it teaches students movement-related skills and knowledge. The objective of the present research was to investigate the relationship between physical activity levels, body composition, fitness in Physical Education, and body dissatisfaction levels, and to analyse sex differences in relation to the study variables. The sample was formed of 1166 participants from the 1st and 2nd secondary compulsory education, of which 642 were boys (age 13.16 ± 0.91), and 524 girls (age 13.08 ± 0.85). The measure of physical activity was the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A). Body composition was assessed using weight and height to calculate their body mass index. Cardiorespiratory capacity was assessed using the Course-Navette test in Physical Education lessons. The results showed the relationship between physical activity and body mass index, cardiorespiratory capacity, and body satisfaction. It was also confirmed that higher levels of physical activity were associated with a lower body mass index, improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, and lower levels of body dissatisfaction to a greater extent in boys than in girls. The study concludes that improvements in the study variables were associated with increased physical activity. In addition, it seems necessary to promote healthy lifestyles in physical education lessons, especially during adolescence, as they could serve as a gateway for the improvement of health-related fitness in future generations. Increasing the amount of physical activity among young people is vital. Therefore, it would be essential to develop intervention programs in physical education classes, especially during adolescence, aimed at promoting and increasing physical activity and its benefits.

Application of Numbered Head Together (NHT) Cooperative Learning Model in Hindu Religious Education Lessons for Elementary School Students

The right learning model can create a fun learning environment and make it easier for students to learn lessons. In the process of learning the conventional learning model, the lecture method used is less flexible and seems stiff. The ability to cooperate is useful for training students to accept that there are many differences with other friends with different backgrounds. The Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model can maximize educators’ role in paying attention to students, and positive interactions occur between students and educators and students with other friends. This study aimed to obtain an innovative learning model. The data collection methods used were observation, interviews, document studies, and literature studies which were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis methods. The results showed that the application of the NHT cooperative learning model consisted of planning activities, implementation activities, final activities, and construction, resulting in increased interaction and discipline in learning, increased understanding in learning, and increased socialization and cooperation. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model prioritized the role of students to be active by inviting students to learn while playing. The NHT learning model helped the learning process to be effective and efficient. The selection of the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model in Hindu Religious Education lessons is expected that learning can give more impressions and deep meaning to students in learning with a group system.

Da prática de campo da tradição naturalista da Biologia à aula de campo na escola: distanciamentos e aproximações

Abstract This study has a theoretical and, to some extent, essayistic nature, as it embarks on an investigative and reflective journey that deviates from traditional methodological constraints. The goal is to encourage dialogue between the traditional naturalistic field practices and the field-based lessons in biology education. We use the field practices of traveling naturalists from the sixteenth century as a point of reference, aiming to establish an interpretive time horizon for contemporary field classes. By investigating the attributes and progression of field scientific practices, we can assess their impact on biology field courses and how they differ from them based on the specific circumstances. Making connections between science and teaching can help to break away from the daily grind of pedagogical routines and facilitate the necessary reevaluation of biology field lessons.

Gender Differences in Students’ Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity Levels During Primary School Physical Education Lessons: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Purpose: We aimed to determine gender differences in students’ moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels measured in primary school by accelerometry. Methods: Our systematic search (PROSPERO: CRD42023422799) was developed using four electronic databases (from January 2013 to December 22, 2023). Our meta-analysis was conducted based on a random-effects model. Results: The search yielded 6255 manuscripts. Only 24 manuscripts were included in the systematic review, reporting 7550 participants. Finally, 19 manuscripts were meta-analyzed. Our analyses indicated that the mean percentages (SMD = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.24 to 0.40, p < .001) of MVPA in primary school physical education (PE) lessons were 28.75 ± 13.75 for boys and 25.99 ± 12.35 for girls. In addition, the mean minutes (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.15 to 0.27, p < .001) were 13.75 ± 9.91 for boys and 12.15 ± 8.88 for girls. Students failed to meet the 50% recommendation of MVPA lesson time. Conclusion: Boys spend significantly more time in MVPA than girls during PE lessons in primary school. The findings show the need for methodological changes in PE to reduce this gender gap.
