Data Collection:
Multiple data collection tools will be used in this study. The first tool is a fitness test, which is called the FITNESSGRAM Test includes a pacer test, curl-up (sit-up) test, push-up test and back saver-sit and reach test. The FITNESSGRAM Test is a nationally used and tested by physical educators in order to test student’s physical fitness levels and show improvement in physical skills throughout a school year. The FITNESSGRAM Test is easy to set up and administer during a physical education period. This test already has predetermined scores for students of all ages.
The second tool is a pre-study and post-study teacher survey. These two surveys were designed by myself and asked a range of questions related to student behavior. I formulated these survey questions from personal experiences, speaking with collogues and literature review research. This survey is needed in order to understand her feelings about the affects physical education has on her students.
Teacher Pre-Survey
Teacher Post-Survey
The third tool is a student behavior chart. The teacher will fill out these student behavior charts during the day for the four-week time period. This chart is easy to used and can be accessed online if the teacher wanted to chart her student’s behavior on her computer or Ipad during her lessons.

The final data collection tool is a student survey. The goal of this survey is to gain information related to the student’s thoughts about their own behavior and attention in class. I also created this survey based on literature review research, and personal teaching experiences.
