dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine if antecedent physical activity would impact the prevalence of maladaptive behaviors in a behavior support elementary classroom (n = 6). The measurement tool was a behavioral point sheet that provided behavioral scores for each participant in the study. This study used a pre-experimental design with a variant of a one-group pretest-posttest design to compare pre-intervention baseline data to post-intervention data. There was no significant difference in the Behavioral Score of students during the baseline period (Mean = 92.40, SD = 4.32) and during the intervention period (Mean = 91.24, SD = 5.42)[t(5) = .61, p > .05]. Researchers should continue to study the effects of antecedent physical activity as maladaptive behaviors become an increasing concern for classroom teachers. | en_US |
