Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, neuroscience and neurodidactics are demonstrating significant progress in improving the teaching and learning process in various subjects, such as physical education. As a reflection of this progress, very interesting studies have appeared in the scientific literature concerning the motivation processes of students and the influence of physical activity on brain processes and structures. In this sense, some papers have explained how physical activity can affect both the psychological aspects related to learning as well as the neuroscientific aspects related to the cognitive functions of students. In addition, recent work has shown that many of these variables can be addressed by the teacher or the student, and a close relationship was found between both the development and evolution of the Physical Education class and its future school performance.
This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent research regarding the Neuroeducation, Motivation and Physical Activity in Students of Physical Education, focusing primarily on the analysis of the variables that can affect students and teachers within the didactics and learning-teaching of Physical Education.
Empirical research, qualitative, quantitative or mixed analysis, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and case studies involving students of Physical Education will be considered. Longitudinal or cross-sectional studies that track any of these variables annually or even comparing between countries and/or cultures will also be considered. The presentation of other analysis on topics related to Physical Education and psychological and didactic variables are also welcome and encouraged.
