Using Pedometers in Elementary Physical Education
Beighle, Aaron; Morgan, Charles F.; Pangrazi, Robert P.
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v15 n1 p17-18 Jan 2004
Pedometers are quickly becoming a common and valuable tool for physical educators. These small devices offer a valid, reliable, and feasible method to assess children's step counts. Pedometers also provide teachers and students with immediate, concrete feedback about their physical activity levels. There are three primary uses of pedometers for physical educators: (a) to teach about physical activity, (b) to enhance instruction, and (c) to provide accountability. This article takes a closer look at these areas and provides teachers with many practical ideas for using pedometers in physical education.
