Research
At Penn State, I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to take part in research projects as well as complete some of my own. These are some examples of what I have done.
Affects of Physical Education in SchoolsIn my Educational Psychology class, we completed research projects using scholarly articles. I participated in the research of Physical Activity's Affect on Wellness (left).
In this project, we looked at the Cognitive, Emotional, and Physical aspects of wellness and how physical activity effected them. We found physical activity to be beneficial to physical and emotional wellness, and does not have a negative affect on cognitive wellness. Another project done was The Importance of Physical Education in Public Schools (left). The results were also much alike to the first project. These research projects are important not only to my development in the field but also to the field in general. It was a great way to get familiar with the debate with the importance of physical activity. |
