Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on self-concept of those students exposed to outdoor adventure activities as opposed to those students exposed to the more "traditional" forms of education (i.e. lecture method of teaching). The study was conducted Spring Quarter 1977, at Eastern Washington University, at Cheney, Washington. The study population consisted of four classes. These classes were: Cultural Anthropology 101, Wilderness Living 206, Survival Education 315, and Outdoor Leadership 410. The Cultural Anthropology class was the control group utilizirtg the "traditional" style of college teaching (lecture method). The remaining three classes were the "treated groups" in which the students were exposed to various outdoor adventure activities, such as rappelling, survival training, rock climbing, and solo. During the first week of Spring Quarter, 1977, all the subjects were given a pre-test, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. Post tests were given to the participants, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, during the last week of Spring Quarter, 1977. Data was analyzed using the t test as the measuring instrument. Data computation produced three major findings. These findings were: (1)Class means suggested a positive change in self-concept through the Total Positive Score (TP), for all the classes featuring outdoor adventure activities. (2) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Total Positive Score (TP) were not achieved. As a result, the first null hypothesis was accepted. The first null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Total Positive Score (TP) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities, and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods. (3) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Self- Criticism Score (SC) were not achieved. This factor supported the second null hypothesis. The second null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Self-Criticism Scores (SC) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods"--Document.

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.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The developmental stage of adolescence is a difficult time for young people, particularly girls. Research shows that girls often struggle during this period with low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, depression, and poor body image. Outdoor adventure programming has several positive outcomes, including providing adolescent girls with authentic experiences that allow them to challenge themselves, build connections with others, and develop life tools to overpower the negative societal influences of genders stereotypes and unrealistic pressures. Numerous studies confirm these outcomes. However, most of these studies looked at programs that lasted a few days to several weeks. Due to the importance of improving adolescent development for girls, this study examined the impacts of long-term exposure to outdoor adventure programming for adolescent girls. The injury employs a qualitative analysis to share the stories of 8th-grade students at the French Broad River Academy for girls. This private middle school utilizes outdoor education regularly. Students reflected on what outdoor adventure programming meant to them during their 2.5 years at the school. They did this over a semester by taking pictures of their outdoor experiences on disposable cameras. At the conclusion of the semester, students used photo-elicitation to share their experiences by using their photos to share their stories in focus group interviews. Emergent themes from the focus groups included: Relationship & Community, Perseverance & Resiliency, Enjoyment & Finding Beauty in Nature, Leadership & Confidence, and Individual Growth.
