This study examined physical activity levels in a Hip Hop dance and floor hockey physical education unit with 6th grade students. A secondary purpose was to determine how motor competence, self-efficacy, social situation, and outcome expectancy values changed from pretest-to posttest. Participants (N=53) were 6th grade students in an urban middle school.</p><p>Prior to and following each unit (Hip Hop dance, floor hockey) specific measures of motor competence, self-efficacy, social situation, and outcome expectancy values were taken. The students first participated in an 11 lesson Hip Hop dance unit structured around Social Cognitive Theory in order to promote physical activity. Following this they participated in an 11 day floor hockey unit. During each day of both units the students wore accelerometers to measure physical activity: 1) average activity counts per lesson; 2) the average lesson percent in MVPA; 3) average activity counts during a ten minute bout of dance/game play; and, 4) the average number of minutes of MVPA during a ten minute bout of dance/game play.</p><p>Dependent Samples t-tests between the Hip Hop dance and floor hockey unit found the dance unit had more physical activity than the floor hockey unit for average physical activity counts (t[52]= 5.767, p<.000 ), average percent of MVPA (t[52]= 5.492, p<.000), 3), average activity counts for a ten-minute activity session (t[52]= 7.745,p<.000), and, average of MVPA for a ten-minute activity session (t[52]= 8.568,p<.000). The results also showed that students had 46% MVPA in dance and 34% MVPA in floor hockey. Paired samples (pretest, posttest) t-tests for both dance and floor hockey found significant pre-to-posttest increases in motor competence for the dance (t[18]=--9.123, p<.000) and floor hockey (t[18]=-8.547, p<.000) units and also for self-efficacy for dance (t[37]=-3.040, p<.004) and floor hockey ( t[37]= -3.163 , p<.003). There were no significant pre-to-posttest changes for social situation for dance (t[45]=-1.938,p>.059) and floor hockey (t[45]=-.873,p>.387); also for outcome expectancy values for the dance (t[46]=-.029,p>.977) and floor hockey (t[46]=.679,p>.501).These findings have implications to teachers and researchers.</p> 2008-07-31 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211679561 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211679561 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
