Motivating Girls Through Participation in a Single Gender Physical Education Class

Pages : 118
Book Description
My research study and following paper resulted from the declining level of participation I witnessed in eighth grade girls. When Title IX passed in 1972 it gave girls the opportunity to participate equally with males. I have benefited from Title IX my whole life and it is difficult for me to understand why some girls lack motivation and are uninterested in physical education class. My review of the literature provides evidence that adolescent girls who are physically active have higher self-esteem, assertiveness, pride, and confidence. Single-gender grouping can affect a student's level of participation in physical education. The literature also suggests that it is often the teacher's behavior that creates equity in the classroom regardless of gender. Title IX was mandated to create a more equitable learning environment for students. As Title IX is investigated, it is evident that co-ed classes may not provide an equal opportunity for all students. The purpose of this study is to see if the creation of a six-week girls-only physical education class would increase participation and motivation. This study will provide participants with opportunities to increase their activity level. The benefits are that the student may discover a new appreciation for physical education, fitness and lifetime sport. The results show that the girls involved in the study became more comfortable in physical education class. Through post survey, journaling and a group discussion it was evident that students were more involved in the class. Their participation increased and they unanimously decided to be involved in an all-girl class in the future.

Adolescent Females' Self-concept and Physical Education

Category :
Languages : en

Book Description
This research illuminates the relationship between female adolescents' self-concept and their experience of physical education. This was accomplished through three stages of interviews and a Qsort. The topics through which the research was categorized included peer support, teachers as significant others, meaningful connections to the body, and curriculum content. During stage one female physical education specialists, curriculum coordinators, and adolescents were interviewed to develop Q-items for the Q-sort. The second stage Involved two groups of females between the ages of 12 and 14 years who participated in the Q-sort. The final stage involved an insight group that consisted of four Q-sort participants who interpreted the highest ranking Q-items. Critical to this research was giving these adolescents the opportunity to voice what was important to them. The results of the research included descriptions of the elements in physical education that were deemed most important by female adolescent students. The topics of "peer support" and "meaningful connections to the body" were ranked the highest. By interpreting the rich insights of the discussion group, it was found that peers were most influential to these young girls. Perceiving and bestowing respect were imperative in this stage of their lives.

Book Description
"This non-experimental research study used correlational methods to analyze and search for relationships between demographic characteristics of adolescent girls, their particular family structure and their ethnic backgrounds and their levels of self-esteem. The levels of self-esteem were determined by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965, 1989). This scale measures a unidimensional, global concept of self-esteem. Participants were recruited from the Sophomore and Junior classes (10th and 11th grade) of an all-girl high school in San Mateo County. Each student interested in participating, after receiving parental consent, completed both a demographic questionnaire and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Of the 163 possible students, 129 (79 percent) useable questionnaires were returned. The study found statistically significant relationships (lower self-esteem) between adolescent girls from single parent homes when compared to adolescent girls from nuclear families. No significant relationships were found in the levels of self-esteem when comparing adolescent girls from the dominant (White) culture as compared to adolescent girls from all other ethnic backgrounds. Other demographic characteristics were not found to relate to levels of self-esteem, with the exception of annual income level. Annual family income of less than $40,000 was found to significantly negatively impact the level of self-esteem in the adolescent girls, as compared to the self-esteem of adolescent girls whose family income was over $40,000. Limitations of the study and methodology were presented"--Leaves 1-2.

Educating the Student Body
Author: Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309283140
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
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.
