Auburn University , US2024-04-30|page 46-56AbstractBackground: In recent research years, there has been an increasing focus on the meaningfulness of physical education experiences. While it has been suggested that certain curriculum models such as sport education or cooperative learning provide opportunities for meaningful engagement in physical education, to date there has been no empirical study of those claims.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine students’ perceptions of meaningfulness in two physical education contexts: traditional multi-activity format, and sport education.
Methods: Sixty seventh-grade students aged 12 to 14 completed a 20-item survey titled "Meaningful Experiences in Physical Education Survey (MEPES)" prior to and at the completion of one of three sport education seasons. The analysis consisted of independent samples t-test comparisons between the two contexts (previous physical education experiences, and sport education) for each of the five dimensions of meaningfulness. A Pearson correlation was conducted to examine if there were significant relationships between the five dimensions.
Results: Results of the independent samples t-test showed that significantly higher levels of meaningfulness were identified from participation in sport education than in previous physical education for four of the five dimensions. Pearson's coefficient results indicated significant positive correlations between all five meaningfulness dimensions.
Conclusion: Sport education has structural elements that promote a sense of meaningfulness within physical education.

Objective: This study compared four machine-learning classifiers for categorizing student PE performance while minimizing target leakage and addressing class imbalance.
Methods: An exploratory, leakage-controlled classification analysis used a public Kaggle dataset of uncertain provenance. The dataset contained 500 records, 19 substantive variables, and one identifier, with Performance categorized as Low, Average, or High Performer. Because the label-construction rule was undocumented, Performance was treated as an inherited categorical outcome. Overall PE Performance Score, Improvement Rate, and Final Grade were excluded because they could contain current, change-based, or outcome-related information. Categorical predictors were one-hot encoded, numeric predictors were standardized, and preprocessing was performed within training folds. Random Forest, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression were evaluated using stratified five-fold cross-validation with class-weighted learning.
Results: Random Forest achieved the highest accuracy (0.856), whereas Logistic Regression achieved the highest balanced accuracy (0.749) and macro-F1 (0.645). Its out-of-fold recall was 0.759 for Low, 0.720 for Average, and 0.750 for High Performers, indicating that accuracy alone may inadequately reflect performance in an imbalanced multiclass setting.
Conclusion: Leakage-controlled, class-aware evaluation is essential in machine-learning classification of student performance. These findings are exploratory and should not be interpreted as validated prospective predictions. Future studies should use documented data, explicit temporal ordering, larger balanced samples, and independent external validation.

Faculty of Health Science, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta , ID2026-09-07|page 264-275AbstractBackground: Hyperactivity is a core symptom of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and may manifest as increased motor activity. Objectively measured step count may provide information about ambulatory movement associated with hyperactivity symptoms, while developmental differences may also influence movement patterns in children.
Objective: To examine the association between hyperactivity symptom severity and step count during school activities and to compare step count and hyperactivity scores between children aged 5 and 12 years.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 40 children (20 males and 20 females) aged 5 and 12 years from two schools in Surakarta, Indonesia, recruited using total sampling. Hyperactivity symptoms were assessed using the hyperactivity/inattention subscale of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire Teacher Report (SDQ-TR), while step count was objectively measured using a Maxfit pedometer during one school day. Spearman's rank correlation, independent-samples t-tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Hyperactivity scores were strongly and positively correlated with step count (rₛ = 0.918, p < 0.001). Step count differed significantly between the age groups (p = 0.041), with higher values observed among 5-year-old children than among 12-year-old children. In contrast, hyperactivity scores did not differ significantly between the two age groups (p = 0.701).
Conclusion: Higher hyperactivity symptom severity was associated with greater step count during school activities. Step count differed between the two age groups, whereas hyperactivity scores did not. These findings suggest that objectively measured ambulatory movement and hyperactivity symptoms may capture related but developmentally distinct aspects of children's behaviour.
