Project description

The study Physically
active academic lessons in general upper secondary school
aims to evaluate
the acute effects of physically active academic lessons on students' situational engagement and cognitive prerequisites of learning in general upper
secondary school. This study is a consortium carried out as a collaboration
between Likes by Jamk and University of Oulu. This four-year consortium is
funded by Research Council of Finland, Scientific Council for Social Sciences
and Humanities.

The
multidisciplinary study project increases the understanding of teachers' and
students' experiences and engagement in physically active academic lessons in
upper secondary school. In addition, the acute effects of physically active
academic lessons on students' cognitive prerequisites of learning and
situational engagement are measured. The project provides evidence-based
recommendations of physically active classroom practices for teachers and
teacher education to support the development of subject teachers' competence and
to enhance student learning and well-being in lower secondary schools.
