What is the Relationship Between Better Recess and Student Achievement?
The relationship between better recess and student achievement is a complex one. The evidence on the topic is mixed, with some studies showing that better recess has a positive effect on student achievement and others finding no significant difference.
There are several different ways to define what makes for a good or bad recess: duration, intensity, quality of play, or whether the students are in groups. It may also be useful to consider how many students participate in recess activities as well as their age group.
The research shows that there is no significant difference in academic achievement between students who have better or worse recess experiences. There is also no evidence that one type of recess experience has a more positive effect than another type of experience.
Does Better Recess Equal a Better School Day?
The benefits of better recess are numerous. Better mental health, more physical activity, and improved academic performance are just a few of the benefits that come with better recess.
A recent study from the University of Michigan found that students who were given more recess time in the first grade had better grades in later years than those who did not have as much time for recess.
Most schools give their students a day off once a week to give them some time to rest and relax after a long week of school work. But is it actually beneficial for students?
Effects of Better Recess on Student Achievement
Better recess has been shown to have significant positive effects on student achievement in the classroom. The most significant change is that children are more engaged and are able to focus better.
In the past years, schools have been implementing more recess into their curriculum in order to improve student achievement. This is because students who get enough exercise and break from the classroom tend to do better in school.
Some schools have been using technology such as wearable devices and apps to track the amount of time students spend outside of class, but there are still some challenges with these technologies such as privacy concerns and accuracy of tracking data.
