Nowadays, physical activity is an extremely important segment of a healthy lifestyle not only for children but also for adults. Technological advances allow us to reach our goals with much less ...physical effort than was required of the individual in the past. Additionally, the fast pace of life and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle also contribute to reduced physical activity among the population. Analysis of published scientific articles in the field of physical activity among basic school students includes 15 research studies. They were included regardless of the origin of the publication and citation frequency. It can be seen that the most common segment of research in children’s physical activity is the gender perspective. Researchers are further interested in the effects of age, educational success, BMI, place of residence, frequency and time spent in physical activity, education and physical activity of parents, as well as the level of organization (organized / unorganized) activity. Therefore it can be concluded that children’s physical activities are influenced by external and internal factors. Analysis of published research has shown that physical activity depends upon many internal and external factors. A higher level of physical activity is often detected with boys and children in urban areas, compared to rural ones. Physically active parents have physically more active children. A higher proportion of interviewed basic school students was found to participate in organized forms of exercise in comparison to the unorganized ones.
The purpose of the study was to examine self-concept in relation to sport participation among basic school children. The sample included 109 sixth grade students of different Slovenian basic schools. ...The participants completed the Slovenian version of the SelfPerception Profile for Children – SPPC. The results show significant gender differences in some specific components of self-concept. Boys exhibited higher scores in perceived physical appearance and athletic competence, whereas girls exhibited higher levels in perceived behavioural conduct. Mean values show that students, engaged in organized sport practice, reported higher scores in all self-concept subscales than their inactive peers, although significant differences between these two groups were found in perceived scholastic competence and athletic competence. The study offers a detailed insight into the multidimensional self-perceptions of sixth grade basic school students. The results highlight the importance of physical/sports activity in the self-concept development and can be useful in promoting an active lifestyle among youth.
The article outlines the key areas of cooperation between the Institute of Information Technologies and Learning Tools of NAPS of Ukraine and the Institute of Innovation Technologies and Content of ...Education of MES of Ukraine. As a result of joint activities in 2013-2014 the experimental work was carried out, aimed at determining the level of awareness of students and teachers of basic school on health-saving use of software and hardware in the learning process. The survey involved students and teachers from different regions (Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Odessa and Poltava region). The total number of respondents was 351 people (246 students, 105 teachers). The analysis of the main results of the research and the prospects for further work in this direction was identified.
The article describes some practical activities and the corresponding didactic materials that were developed for natural sciences teaching and environmental education in an urban natural park located ...in a small Portuguese city (Viseu, Central Portugal). The main objective of the paper was to promote the use of urban natural areas by local schools, helping teachers to overcome some constraints usually described for the development of field activities.
The application of Web-based learning environment ldquoYoung Scientistrdquo (http://bio.edu.ee/noor) in developing the 6 th grade studentspsila inquiry skills (aged 10-12) was studied. The main ...objectives have been to evaluate the development of studentspsila inquiry skills and how the development of these skills depends on their pre-skills. 302 students all over Estonia solved three problems in the following topics: ldquoThe Production of Plantsrdquo, ldquoThe Fertilization of Plantsrdquo, and ldquoThe Biological Control of Plant-hazardous Insectsrdquo. According to the results of the pre- and post-test their skills of formulating problems, research questions, and hypotheses, planning and conducting investigations, analyzing data, and skills of making inferences developed statistically significantly. Spearman correlation demonstrated that the highest development occurred among the students with initial low level of inquiry skills. The only exception was found in the case of formulating research questions since more advanced pre-skills led to higher development.
