Logan, Samuel W.; Robinson, Leah E.; Webster, E. Kipling; Rudisill, Mary E. – European Physical Education Review, 2015
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two physical education (PE) instructional climates (mastery, performance) on the percentage of time students spent in a) moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and b) management tasks during PE in 2nd-grade students. Forty-eight 2nd graders (mastery, n = 23; performance, n = 25)…
