How to get students more engaged in Physical Education?
This presentation serves to answer the research question, “How to get students more engaged in physical education?” I have experienced students within my high school practicum where students do not participate in physical education because they are not interested in the activity, its boring, they are scared they aren’t good enough, and they fear being judged. The methods used for this study were examining existing literature for research on engagement strategies for students in physical education and what causes students to not be as engaged. In this presentation, three studies were proved to answer the research question of how to get more students engaged in physical education. A study that was used for the research was a survey done by students based on their perceived physical competence of physical activity. Another study that was used for the research was a study of factors that influence participation in physical activity. Overall, the purpose of this presentation serves to provide practical strategies for high school teachers to use to get more students engaged in physical education. The limitation of this study was that the presenters did not have the opportunity to test each of these strategies within their own classroom.
