Mindmasters 2: A 3-month evaluation of a physical activity-based resource on grade 3 children's social and emotional skills
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous research on positive youth development has shown that the integration of school programs focusing on physical activity may aid with children's development of social and emotional skills such as emotional regulation, empathy, teamwork, and the ability to deal with adversity. MindMasters 2 is a physical activity-based school resource intended to improve children's social and emotional regulation skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate MindMasters 2's efficacy on children's prosocial behaviours, concern for peers, self-perceptions, emotional skills, and relaxation skills. Ninety-eight grade 3 children were randomly allocated to either a control or experimental group, and evaluated before and after a 3-month implementation period. Children in the experimental group showed improved prosocial behaviours (p .05). Results from this study indicate that MindMasters 2 may facilitate the development of children's social and emotional skills via physical activity. Future studies should strive for a longer implementation period in response to small effect sizes, taking into account target population, sample size, and persistence of effects over the lifespan and in different environmental contexts.Acknowledgments: The authors would like to acknowledge Dr. Terry Orlick for his support in this research study.

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.
