简要总结
The ACtive BEhaviour in School Education (ACTIBESE) project aims to assess and intervene in Chilean schoolchildren's active behaviours by examining the influence of personal, interpersonal, and school factors. This study includes a cross-sectional and intervention study involving 152 schools in the Valparaíso and Araucanía Regions, representing urban and rural areas. Participants, divided into children (8-11 years old) and adolescents (12-17 years old), will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity (PA) levels, parental and peer support, teaching styles of the teachers, and school environment characteristics.
For the cross-sectional study, questionnaires, interviews, accelerometry, and pedometry will be used to collect data on various factors influencing PA in schoolchildren. In the intervention study, a 5-month continuous training program for teachers will be implemented, focusing on improving teaching styles and enhancing teaching competencies related to physical education and health classes. The program aims to positively affect schoolchildren's PA indirectly through improved teaching practices.
The research will use mixed models, ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) , and logistic regressions for data analysis, incorporating multilevel logistic regressions to account for school-level dependencies. The study's outcomes will contribute valuable insights into the complex interactions between school, interpersonal, and personal factors influencing schoolchildren's PA, aiding the development of targeted interventions. This comprehensive approach aligns with the project's goal of fostering a physically active lifestyle among Chilean schoolchildren.
详细描述
ACTIve BEhaviour in School Education project (ACTIBESE) is a project funded by the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) of the Chilean government (Code Nº: 1230801), which seeks to investigate and propose useful tools to increase levels of Physical Activity (PA) in schools. The project will consist of two parts: a cross-sectional study (first and second years) and an intervention study (third year), over a period of three years.
Recruitment
An invitation to participate will be sent to the principals of the participating schools. Once the schools agree to take part and are selected, a meeting will be held with both the representatives of the administrative management authorities and the schoolteachers to explain in detail the aims and stages of the project.
Subsequently, an informative meeting will be held with parents and schoolchildren using the same terms. The groups will be divided by age: children from grades 3-6 of primary school (8-11 years old) and adolescents from grade 7 of primary school to grade 2 of secondary school (12-16 years old).
