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.

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 2021-01-22 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military academies have served youth for more than a century with proud traditions of producing graduates who are scholars, leaders, and athletes who adhere to a code of honor and ethical principles as they take the knowledge, skills, and dispositions gained at those academies into higher education, the business world, military service, civic endeavors, and the broader workforce. There is a current gap and need for research that explores the various components of a K-20 military school/college education and how those components successfully produce leaders of character for our military, civic, academic, and business worlds both in the United States and abroad. The Handbook of Research on Character and Leadership Development in Military Schools synthesizes research on the impact of military academies by providing a singular compendium of current academic studies on the graduates of military academies and the communities of which they enter after graduation. The chapters will explore the academics, leadership, character development, citizenship, athletics, and other dimensions of both global and national, and both private and public, military academies. This book is ideal for current leaders, staffs, governing board members, and alumni of military academies both in the United States and internationally along with policymakers, government officials, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the implications of character and leadership development on individuals enrolled in or graduated from military schools.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the need for students to develop socially increases, so does the need for social- emotional learning in all classrooms both during and after school, including physical education and physical activity settings. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of a four-week, physical activity-infused social-emotional and character development (SECD) intervention on students' SECD self-perceptions. A total of 29 students participated from the after-school program, the PAL Program. The students were placed in control and intervention groups based on their attended school. All participants completed the Social-Emotional Learning Scale (SELS) and the Social-Emotional and Character Development Scale (SECDS), and the intervention group participated in 12 SECD lessons. The results of this study found significance in scores when compared to grades. However, further research is needed using a larger sample size and increased intervention time to better understand the effects of an SECD physical activity intervention on students' self-perceptions.
