“…The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Some Major Issues of Comprehensively Deepening the Reform also emphasizes that physical education courses and physical exercises should be strengthened to promote the cultivation of students’ physical and mental health behaviors. Some scholars have found that physical exercise not only promotes the healthy development of students, but also plays an important role in cultivating students’ core qualities ( Otundo and Garn, 2019 ). Therefore, hypothesis 1 is proposed in this study: junior high school students’ physical exercise can positively predict school adaptation.…”

ObjectiveThis study explores the relationship between physical exercise and school adaptation of junior middle school students and constructs a chain intermediary model through the intermediary role of psychological resilience and sports learning motivation.MethodsUsing the stratified cluster sampling method, 930 junior middle school students in Anhui Province were measured in group psychology by using the physical exercise rating scale, adolescent psychological resilience scale, physical learning motivation scale and school adaptation scale. The statistical software SPSS 23.0 and process plug-in were used for statistical processing, and the common method deviation test was carried out by Harman single-factor control method. Finally, the bootstrap sampling test method and process plug-in were used to test the significance of intermediary effect.Results(1) The direct prediction effect of physical exercise on school adaptation is remarkable (t = 4.60, p < 0.01); (2) psychological resilience and sports learning motivation are the intermediary variables of the relationship between physical exercise and school adaptation; (3) psychological resilience and sports learning motivation play a chain mediation role in the relationship between physical exercise and school adaptation. The intermediary effect is composed of three indirect effects: physical exercise → psychological resilience → school adaptation (95% Cl: 0.004, 0.041), physical exercise → physical learning motivation → school adaptation (95% Cl:0.019, 0.065), physical exercise → psychological resilience → physical learning motivation → school adaptation (95% Cl:0.002, 0.021).ConclusionsPhysical exercise can directly improve the school adaptation of junior middle school students, which can also affect junior middle school students’ school adaptation indirectly through psychological resilience or sports learning motivation, and it can influence school adaptation through the chain mediation of psychological resilience and sports learning motivation.

“…This condition presented that if students have an interest in something then students will tend to focus greater attention on something they like (Simbolon, 2014). Even if the teacher allows students to choose their physical activity according to their expectation will also make them survive to continue to engage in physical activity and connecting in-class activity to their life outside the classroom (Otundo & Garn, 2019).…”

“…That was in line with the results of this research which revealed that activities factor was defined as the majority in the high classification. Specifically designed activities according to differences in skill levels each student will provide support for the expected mastery of competencies (Otundo & Garn, 2019). There is a positive feeling of the activity they follow as well as a great curiosity that will participate in developing students' initial interest in the activity (Hidi & Ann Renninger, 2006).…”

In physical education, learning interests are required so that the intentions of this meant learning are well accomplished. This research is aimed to find out the descriptions of students’ interest factors when attending physical education learning at State Senior High School 2 Malang. This study employed a quantitative descriptive research design through survey methods. In order to obtain the research data, a questionnaire was employed as the research instrument with 329 students as the research subjects. After the data were collected, they were analyzed by using a type of descriptive statistical analysis. The results of this research indicated that students’ interest in learning physical education of X class students in State Senior High School 2 Malang both of internal and external factors were classified as high categories. Internal factors influenced students’ interests more during physical education learning compared to external factors. Overall, the activity factor and feeling of pleasure are the most influential factors for their involvement in physical education learning. Understanding that, students and teachers are suggested to look at intervening toward each above factors as an effort to improve their interest in learning.

“…Interest is always connected with the process that could contribute towards learning and academic achievement. Interest drives the students to elevate their desire to achieve their goals by being more aware of the learning environment needs [11]. As a result, students that tend to be interested in the STEM field will have a direct effect on the nation's growth.…”

<p class="Abstract">This research paper focuses on the effects of the parent autonomy factor that supports the needs of students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and builds the interest of students in STEM careers. This was a quantitative research study that employed the parent authority questionnaire (PAQ). Based on the research objective, the questions in the PAQ were altered to evaluate the effects of parents on student interest in STEM careers and adapted to the purpose of the study. The PAQ comprises a scale of 1-10 ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Research respondents included 419 upper secondary students from national schools in Malaysia, and the research used a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The research determined parents’ autonomy towards the development of students’ STEM career interest and the data was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results found that the autonomy of parents significantly affected upper secondary students in the development of STEM careers of students. The research question was answered by proving that the autonomy of parents is directly significant (p<001). Results showed that parents explicitly offer meaningful impacts and valuable values to motivate students of the science stream at the secondary level to ensure that their STEM career interests are well nurtured. The findings from this research provide useful insight into the learners, and lead to the value of autonomy of parents in promoting a curriculum design that suits the needs of students in the future.</p>
