Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a before-school physical activity program on middle school students’ social and emotional learning (SEL) and their energy levels. Method: A total of 171 students (67 in program group; 104 in control group) participated in the study from fall 2019 to spring 2022. The physical education teacher implemented the program 3 days per week, for 8 weeks. The students completed a 17-item SEL assessment before and after the program. The program group also reported their energy levels using an energy meter at each session. Results: Students’ SEL in program group improved by 14% (p < .001) at the end of the program. Students also reported higher energy levels (p < .001) following their participation at each session. Discussion/Conclusion: Schools are encouraged to incorporate before-school physical activity programs to energize the students at the start of the school day and improve their SEL.

课前体育活动计划对中学生社交与情感学习和能量水平的影响

目的：本研究旨在考察课前体育活动计划对初中生的社交和情感学习（SEL）及其能量水平的影响。研究方法共有 171 名学生（项目组 67 人；对照组 104 人）参加了 2019 年秋季至 2022 年春季的研究。体育老师每周实施该计划 3 天，为期 8 周。学生们在课程前后完成了 17 项 SEL 评估。项目组还在每节课上使用能量计报告他们的能量水平。结果项目结束时，项目组学生的 SEL 提高了 14% (p < .001)。学生们还报告说，他们在每次参加活动后都能获得更高的能量水平（p <.001）。讨论/结论：我们鼓励学校开展课前体育活动计划，以便在上学之初为学生注入活力，提高他们的 SEL。
