School-based Physical Activity Opportunities: Perceptions of Elementary School Parents, Teachers, and Administrators
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the perceptions of elementary school parents, teachers, and administrators concerning access to and opportunities for physical activity within school environments. Participants from ten public schools in western Canada completed a modified version of a physical activity school settings survey. Results indicated agreement around the adequate use of the built environment and parental involvement in connection with the promotion of school-based physical activity. However, when asked about the effectiveness of school policies and practices associated with opportunities for physical activity, mean group scores of were significantly different (F (2, 34) = 12.54, p < .05). Thus, elementary schools intending to maximize physical activity opportunities may need to regularly connect parents to the policies and practices related to these opportunities. This partnership could encourage students to value school-based physical activity and, in turn, help them achieve recommended daily physical activity levels Cette etude examine les perceptions de parents, d’enseignants et de gestionnaires de l’elementaire sur l’acces aux equipements scolaires et sur les occasions de s’adonner a la pratique d’activite physique dans l’environnement d’une ecole. Les participants de dix ecoles publiques de l’Ouest canadien ont repondu a une version modifiee d’un sondage sur l’activite physique en milieu scolaire. Les resultats ont fait ressortir un consensus entre les trois groupes (parents, enseignants, gestionnaires) sur l’usage adequat des equipements et a l’engagement parental dans la promotion de l’activite physique en milieu scolaire. Par contre, les resultats moyens des trois groupes a la question sur l’efficacite des politiques et pratiques de l’ecole relativement aux occasions de pratique d’activite physique differaient significativement (F (2, 34) = 12.54, p < .05). Par consequent, les ecoles elementaires qui veulent maximiser les occasions de pratique d’activite physique auraient avantage a faire participer les parents aux politiques et pratiques qui encadrent ces occasions de pratqiue. Un tel partenariat inciterait les eleves a valoriser davantage l’activite physique a l’ecole et les aiderait du meme coup a atteindre les taux d’activite physique quotidienne recommandes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
