Public disclosure to improve physical education in an urban school district: results from a 2-year quasi-experimental study

摘要

BACKGROUNDMany elementary schools have policies requiring a minimum amount of physical education (PE). However, few schools comply with local/state PE policy and little is known about how to improve adherence. We evaluated changes in PE among 5^th-grade classes, following participatory action research efforts to improve PE quantity and policy compliance that focused on publically disclosing PE data.
