Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of integrating mathematics into physical education. Participants included 132 fourth grade students from four physical education classes at two schools. In-tact physical education classes were assigned to intervention and control groups. Mathematics activities were integrated into the intervention group’s physical education classes for seven weeks. Data collection included three assessments of mathematics performance: mathematics grades, standardized mathematics assessment scores, and mathematics unit assessment scores. Data were collected pre- and post-intervention from the intervention and control groups, and data were analyzed using mixed nested ANOVA. Results showed that across all measures of mathematics performance students in both groups significantly improved from pre- to post-intervention. Significant differences based on the interaction of time (pre-/post-test) and group (intervention/control) were evident in mathematics unit assessment scores. These findings add to the growing body of literature of integrated curriculum in physical education.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
