- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acceptability of active learning among teachers as assessed by the Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM) 6 months follow up The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) is a 4-item measure that uses a 5-point Likert scale for each question. A sum score will be used, which can range from 4-20, with higher scores representing higher levels of acceptability.
Acceptability active learning among teachers as assessed by the Acceptability of Implementation Measure (AIM) 12 months follow up The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) is a 4-item measure that uses a 5-point Likert scale for each question. A sum score will be used, which can range from 4-20, with higher scores representing higher levels of acceptability.
Implementation Fidelity as assessed by self-reported implementation logs to assess dose of delivery 12 months Implementation logs will be completed weekly throughout the study and dose of delivery is the number of minutes per week of active learning used.
Student Physical Activity as indicated by number of minutes spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity as assessed by the Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer 12 month follow up
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Health fitness as assessed by FitnessGram (body mass index) baseline Health fitness as assessed by the FitnessGram (body mass index) 12 month follow up Health fitness as assessed by number of participants who meet the FitnessGram aerobic capacity standard 12 month follow up Academic Performance as assessed by Test scores 12 month follow up Score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.
Implementation Fidelity as assessed by direct observation to assess quality 12 month follow up Direct observation will be conducted by trained staff throughout the study. Fidelity quality is indicated based on the student response. This is determined by the approximate percent of students in the class who are participating in active learning averaged across the active learning sessions used. A higher percentage of student participation indicates a higher quality of active learning delivery.
Implementation Fidelity as assessed by direct observation to assess adherence 12 month follow up Direct observation will be conducted by trained staff throughout the study. Fidelity adherence is indicated by the percentage of occurrence of teacher-directed active learning during an observation period. This is determined by the total number of intervals of teacher directed classroom movement activities relative to the total number of intervals of observation. A higher percentage indicates a greater adherence to active learning.
