The Effect of Persistence of Physical Exercise on the Positive Psychological Emotions of Primary School Students under the STEAM Education Concept

Abstract

The effect of persistence of physical exercise on the psychological and emotional aspects of primary school students is studied to improve the comprehensive quality of current Chinese primary school students and explore the effect of physical exercise on students’ emotions under the science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics (STEAM) education concept. First, students in a primary school in Nanchang are taken as the survey participants. Second, by formulating a physical exercise scale and a psychological and emotional scale, the current situation of physical exercise of primary school students is investigated by means of mathematical statistics. Finally, the current situation of physical exercise and the overall situation of positive psychological emotions of primary school students are analyzed, and the effect of physical exercise on the positive psychological emotions of primary school students is studied. The data show that there are significant differences in the amount of exercise and its three dimensions of intensity, time, and frequency, as well as the scores of positive emotions in the gender dimension, with the boys scoring higher than the girls. In terms of grades, students in grades 1, 2, and 6 are higher than students in grades 3, 4, and 5 on the level of a small amount of exercise, while students in grades 3, 4, and 5 are higher than the other three grades in terms of a moderate amount of exercise. Moreover, in the aspect of positive psychological emotions, the lower-grade students are obviously higher than the upper-grade students, and the second- and third-grade students present marginal significance, p = 0.058. The correlation and regression between physical exercise and positive psychological emotions are calculated and analyzed, and it is found that there is a significant positive correlation between physical exercise indicators and positive psychological emotions, with a correlation coefficient of 0.297. Physical exercise explains 8.8% of positive emotions. This research also makes relevant recommendations for students and schools and has played a role in strengthening the physical exercise and mental health of primary and secondary school students. Greater attention to the physical exercise of primary school students is recommended.

Systematic Literature Review: Implementasi STEAM di Sekolah Dasar Kelas Rendah

“…Gambar 2 disajikan implementasi STEAM pada kelas Sekolah dasar di New Zealand dan Jepang. Penerapan STEAM di Sekolah Dsar amampu meningkatkan kualitas Pendidikan Dasar secara menyeluruh dan memperkuat penekanan pada latihan fisik dan meningkatkan Kesehatan mental anak Skeolah Dasar di China (Yuan et al, 2022).

Relationship between Amount of Exercise and the Meaning in Life among the Adolescent: A Survey of 150 Chinese School Students

“…The scale measures the amount of exercise of physical exercisers in three parts: the intensity of physical activity, the time of each exercise, and the frequency of exercise, and has high reliability and validity. The scoring method is written as an Equation (1): "Amount of exercise" = "Intensity of exercise" × "Time of exercise" × "Frequency of exercise" (Yuan et al, 2022). The standard of the amount of exercise is: a small amount of exercise is less than or equal to 19 points, a medium amount of exercise is between 20 and 42 points, and a large amount of exercise is 43 points or more.…”

Mental and physical conditions associated with physical inactivity among Farhangian University students during virtual classes: A cross-sectional study

“…Therefore, inactivity should be considered as a serious major problem for the future of the country ( Montero-Simó et al, 2022 ). The role of comprehensive education is in providing education for all humanistic dimensions, which includes not only the intellectual aspect of the individual, but also all psychological and physical aspects ( Yuan et al, 2022 ). This type of comprehensive and inclusive education is beneficial for educational environments such as universities and colleges ( Demchenko et al, 2021 ).…”
