This book was released on 1989 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two hundred twenty male students randomly selected during Spring semester 1988 from each of two Saudi Arabian universities, King Faisal and King Fand, were administered a three-part attitude measurement instrument and a fourpart Health-Related Physical Fitness Test. The attitude measurement instrument, derived from the McDonald Attitude Inventory and the Wear Inventory as modified by Ridha (1983), contained 70 statements. Subjects responded on a five-point scale ranging from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. The Health-Related Physical Fitness Test, developed by the American Alliance for Health, consisted of 12-minute run, skinfold measurement, sit-up, and sit and reach tests. A total of 316 students completed both tests. Values were assigned to responses on the attitude measurement instrument according to the Likert technique. These results, along with Health-Related Physical Fitness Test scores, were statistically analyzed by multiple regression, t-test, MANOVA, and the Spearman-Brown formula. Findings showed a positive correlation between attitude toward physical education and scores on the Health-Related Physical Fitness Test. No significant difference in attitude toward physical education was found between students at the two universities, but King Fand students scored significantly better than King Faisal students on the Health-Related Physical Fitness Test. Between freshman and sophomore students, a significant difference in attitude toward physical education was found at King Faisal University but not at King Fand University. No significant difference was found in attitude toward physical education between sophomore students at King Fand University tested in Ridha's 1983 study and those tested in the present study. Comparison of Health-Related Physical Fitness Test results to American college student norms showed that American students scored better in distance in 9 minutes run, sit-ups, and skinfold measurement, while the Saudi students scored better in the sit and reach test.

Download or read book Attitudes of Students with and Without Disabilities Toward Physical Education and Their Sports and Activities Preferences in Saudi Arabia written by Zuhair Abdaladeem Al Salim and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest countries in the Middle East, and it has paid particular attention to public education to prepare students to become good citizens. Physical education (PE) can have a vital influence on all children and adolescents' lifestyles, including those with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes of Saudi Arabian students with and without disabilities toward PE as well as their sport and activities preferences. A second purpose was to investigate the effect of school levels and student participation in physical activity after school on students' attitudes in PE. A final purpose was to determine predictors of enjoyment and perceived usefulness of PE. Participants were 11-19-year-old elementary, middle, and high school students from the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Participants included 195 students without disabilities and 205 with disabilities. Students were queried as to personal information, their student activities and sports preferences, and also completed the Student Attitudes Toward Physical Education Survey. The results of this study indicated that the overall mean score of attitudes of all participants toward PE was 3.48 on a scale of 1-5, indicting a moderate positive attitude toward PE. In general, students without disabilities had more positive attitudes toward physical education than students with disabilities. In addition, high school students without disabilities had less favorable attitudes toward PE than middle or elementary school students. Moreover, attitudes of high school students with disabilities toward PE showed less positive attitudes toward PE than middle and elementary school students with disabilities. However, there was no significant difference between elementary school students with disabilities and middle school students with disabilities in attitudes toward PE. Also, students who participated in physical activity outside school showed more positive attitudes toward PE than students who did not participate in physical activity outside school. Lastly, for students with disabilities, individual sport, competitive activities, cooperative activities, and aquatic activities were significant predictors of attitudes toward enjoyment of PE. For those without disabilities, cooperative activities, team sports, and fitness activities were significant predictors of attitudes toward enjoyment of PE.
