Abstract
En 中文
Purpose: A qualitative exploratory case study was conducted to assess the potential health benefits of a project designed to teach elementary school students about regional Native American history and culture in the classroom, then reinforce learning by providing afterschool physically active lessons (Movement Integration) involving carving canoe paddles and a dugout canoe. Method: Data were collected using individual interviews, focus groups, and researcher observation notes, then reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The findings indicated the project may have provided students with healthenhancing experiences while still meeting educational standards in the classroom. Some of the health benefits reported during the project included improved relationships, experiences, and personal growth. Discussion/Conclusion: Academically infused Movement Integration has the potential to influence multiple health outcomes, and further research is warranted.
