Physical Education (PE) includes the development of knowledge and positive attitudes toward physical activity. Regular physical activity participation during childhood and adolescence has many beneficial effects on health. The purpose of the study was (a) to describe student physical activity level, lesson context and teacher behavior, (b) to determine the relationships among physical activity, lesson context and teacher behavior, (c) to investigate the differences among these variables in public and private schools. Nineteen PE teachers from public and private schools in Ankara participated to the study. For data collection, 6th, 7th and 8th, (n=144) grade elementary school students were observed systematically by using SOFIT during 36 lessons. Results showed that students were spending little time in moderate to vigorous physical activity and they were generally standing or sitting in PE lesson. During the active time, they were generally practicing skill in both public and private schools. Teachers spent majority of lesson time on providing instruction for skill practice. However, teachers did not spend time on fitness knowledge and promotion of fitness in PE lessons. The findings of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between student activity level, lesson context and teacher behavior variables. PE teachers in public schools had higher scores of demonstration but teachers in private schools had higher scores of observation. In addition, there were no significant differences in lesson context variable between schools. Physical Education classes require active participation of students for skill and fitness development. However this study indicated that although students were practicing some forms of skills, there were not spending time on fitness development and fitness promotion during classes.

Analysis of academic learning time in physical education classes of prospective and inservice teachers
Yıldırım, Ahmet; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Çiçek, Şeref; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2003)
One of the important characteristics of effective teaching is to devote sufficient time to appropriate physical activity in physical education classes. The purpose of this study was to compare teaching effectiveness of prospective and in-service teachers in relation to student behaviors, course content activities and Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) scores. Participants were 26 prospective and 28 in-service physical education teachers. Forty-minute regular lessons (n=54) of each teacher...

Semiz, Kıvanç; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the restructuring process of a university health-related physical activity course with technology and its impact on teaching & learning practices. Using Design-based Research approach, data were collected in 5 semesters with applying the technology integration strategies iteratively. Beginning with Needs Assessment (Spring 2012-13), it continued with First Pilot (Fall 2013-14) and Second Pilot (Spring 2013-14), and the process ended with Improvements of Design (S...

In the frame of the current study, a convenience sampling strategy was utilized. 383 Middle East Technical University students (Mage= 21.42, SD=3.30) voluntarily participated to this stu...
İlköğretim öğrencilerinin bir öğretim döneminde fiziksel uygunluk gelişimlerindeki değişimin incelenmesi
Koçak, Mehmet Settar (2003-01-01)
There are studies which reports that physical education teachers and elementary schools students evaluates the Physical Education (PE) lessons to be inadequate to reach the lesson requirements (Çöker, 1991; Topkaya, 1995; Sunay, 1995). In another study it was stated that the students who attended PE lesson for 12 weeks were observed to have clear improved than those of not attend in motor skills and abilities (Yenal, 1996). These findings contradict on the effect of PE lessons aiming to reach physical devel...
