Download or read book Building Character Community and a Growth Mindset in Physical Education written by Leigh Anderson and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Character, Community, and a Growth Mindset in Physical Education is a highly practical and theoretically sound resource that will help you build a positive learning environment, teach valuable life skills, and inspire in students a desire to live active, healthy lives. It reinforces the many ways in which physical education and sport are the ideal setting to build college and career readiness skills. Teachers will learn how to help students develop a growth mindset and recognize that obstacles, challenges, and failures provide the greatest learning opportunities. The book is written with both American and Canadian national standards in mind: You can help your students achieve Standards 3, 4, and 5 of SHAPE America’s National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education and PHE Canada’s goals for physical education (“enable individuals to make healthy, active choices that are both beneficial to and respectful of their whole self, others, and their environment”). It will also aid you in achieving Standard Six of the objectives set by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). This text provides • 35 new large-group warm-up activities; • 20 character-building activities; • 11 team-building challenges; • assessment, reflection, and goal-setting strategies; and • a web resource with ready-to-use printable and editable activity materials (such as focus words and definitions, reflection scenarios, station and team challenge cards, and more). The activities, which are ready-made for use in your curriculum, include a motivational strategy and resource tool using the acronym GROWTH that will help your students learn and adopt the growth mindset traits necessary to set and reach goals. The book addresses many hot-button topics, such as emotional intelligence, community building, teamwork, physical fitness, and goal setting—all in a concise, practical, and highly effective way. As such, you will be helping your students meet Common Core and College and Career Readiness objectives. And students with goal-setting skills and a growth mindset will be well prepared to meet the challenging standards that are promoted by the Every Student Succeeds Act. In addition, Building Character, Community, and a Growth Mindset in Physical Education is the perfect antidote to bullying: Through the materials and activities, the students learn to be respectful competitors and supportive teammates. The text contains six chapters: • Chapter 1 explores the connection between emotional intelligence and a growth mindset. It reinforces the many ways in which physical education and sport are the ideal settings to build college and career readiness skills. • Chapter 2 describes the impact community building has on motivation and learning. It also contains fun community-building activities as well as guidance on how to develop a positive learning environment. • Chapter 3 outlines strategies for building character and offers reflection scenarios, focus words, inspirational sayings, and recommended video clips. • Chapter 4 supplies more than 20 fun, engaging, and motivational character-building activities and games. • Chapter 5 provides outdoor collaborative team-building challenges. • Chapter 6 delves into various aspects of developing a growth mindset through concepts such as assessment, reflection, and goal setting. Building Character, Community, and a Growth Mindset in Physical Education is a powerful and valuable resource because it develops the whole student. It helps students meet important national standards while also preparing them for success in life. This book will help you develop resilient citizens who choose to live active, healthy lifestyles; understand the importance of collaboration and teamwork; and are intrisically motivated to succeed in all areas of their lives.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character traits such as morality, self-esteem, self-efficacy and resilience have been associated with desirable life outcomes, including lower levels of stress, experiencing positive growth after stressful periods, fewer alcohol and drug related problems, academic achievement, being willing to set challenging life goals, and pro-social behaviour (Backer-Fulghum, Patock-Peckham, King, Roufa, & Hagen, 2011; Bandura, Barbaranelli, Caprara, & Pastorelli, 1996; Dolbier, Jaggars, & Steinhardt, 2010; Passini, 2012; Vieira & Grantham, 2011). It is natural therefore that attempts are made to promote these positive character qualities in young people. While well-structured and implemented programmes and interventions may positively influence elements of character, research in the area of physical education and character development remains scarce. The purpose of this study was to determine if a curriculum-based physical education approach could influence elements of character in primary school children. The programme being investigated used a mastery-based approach and utilised game-play in combination with class presentations, discussions and exercises. Using a quasi-experimental design, participants from three programme schools (n=86) and one control school (n=84) completed a questionnaire before the programme was implemented, and after approximately 12 weeks of programme exposure. The questionnaire assessed participants' moral character, self-efficacy, self-esteem, resilience, and their perceived ability and enjoyment in sport and physical activity. When comparing the programme and control groups, and when comparing those who received zero, two or four hours of the programme a week, we found no evidence that this approach to physical education had any impact on the measures administered. However, interaction analyses suggested that on some measures the programme had a different impact on participants depending on their baseline scores. Significant interaction effects included: reductions in self-efficacy for formerly high scoring programme participants (if they were exposed to the programme for four hours per week), and increases in general self-esteem and enjoyment of sport and physical activity for initially low scoring programme participants. While the self-efficacy finding was not endorsed by programme teachers' short answer feedback, the self-esteem and enjoyment of physical activity results were. Some teachers noted improvements in some participants' self-esteem, confidence, leadership, and enjoyment of physical education. All programme teachers reported finding this curriculum-based physical education approach useful and said they would use it in future. Some measures suffered from poor reliability and findings are considered in light of this. Findings are discussed in relation to theory and previous research, research and programme strengths and limitations are outlined, and suggestions are made for future directions in this area.

Book excerpt: The goal of my capstone was to answer the question: "What are the effects of integrating the CHARACTER COUNTS! character education program into a physical education curriculum?" In my pursuit of finding a conclusion to this question, I decided to conduct a case study. I used several different methods in my case study that include: teacher and student surveys, student interviews, and observations. The results of my case study proved that integrating character education into the physical education classroom is very effective. Along with the surveys and interviews, the students were able to show me through their actions that they were learning about the selected character traits. I also found the behaviors of the students to be much improved when I reviewed the results. Character education has been a great addition to our physical education curriculum.
