The Role of Teaching Swimming in the Formation of a Conscious Healthy Lifestyle
Swimming plays a particularly important role in the formation of physical, mental and spiritual well-being and in the preservation of health. The aim of this study was to investigate whether health-based education works through swimming-education. A survey was carried out by submitting an anonymous questionnaire to swimming educators (N = 46). The sample consisted of people who teach swimming to primary school pupils: physical education teachers, swimming instructors, lifeguards, swimming coaches (PE teachers 58,7%, instructors and others 41,3%, men 58,7%, women 41,3%). Both a descriptive and a comparative approach were used to analyze data. Based on their inquiry, the authors determined that, unfortunately, those teaching swimming do not commonly consider it important to form a health-conscious behavior in their students. It appears that in teaching swimming to children, the principles that are important for the preservation of health in adult age do not predominate
Adapted physical education in the Hungarian educational system: a conceptual framework
Declining health status of youth assumes considerable proportions. The continuously growing number of children with bad body positions, overweight and obesity, diabetes and asthma has been subject to several national or international publications. The number of state surveys, assessments of the situation and action plans has been arising, but real action has been keeping us waiting. Hungary, as a unique country among the neighboring countries, has realized the school-integrated rehabilitation of children suffering from internal and locomotor disorders. Schools in Hungary the Adapted Physical Education (APE), as a part of Physical Education (PE) have been helping disabled children finding their way back to their healthy fellows. In this case study we would like to present the interpretation of the definition, the goals and tasks of APE how and in what way they differ from the European approach and also introduce the definitions are used in Hungarian educational terminology (Physiotherapy, PE, Light Physical Education – as LPE and APE). We consider it to be important to show those substantial points which fundamentally differentiate Physiotherapy, APE and LPE. With setting the goals and tasks we would like to make it clear, that APE is an integral part of PE as a school subject in Hungary. That is the reason why with setting the fundamental goals and tasks, the goals and tasks of PE have to be considered as a starting-point. Compared to international publications a wider interpretation of APE in our study also provides an opportunity to establish an integral European way of thinking
Nemzetközi kutatások az olimpiai nevelési programok hatásának vizsgálatában
Az olimpiai nevelés területén egyre több tudományos igényű kutatást végeznek,
azonban – ahogy több kutató is megjegyzi (Binder, 2012; Lenskyj, 2012; Monnin,
2012) – nincs elegendĹ‘ adat, melynek segĂtsĂ©gĂ©vel mĂ©rhetĹ‘ volna az olimpiai
nevelési programok hatása. A tanulmány célja bemutatni a nemzetközi eredményeket
a különböző olimpiai nevelési programok eredményességvizsgálatairól;
és amellett érvel, hogy szükség van a programok hatásának tudományos
igényű empirikus vizsgálatára. A tanulmány elméleti jellegű, amely a dokumentumelemzés
módszerével tanulmányozza és rendszerezi a nemzetközi olimpiai
nevelési programok alkalmazása során végzett hatásvizsgálatokat. Kutatási
eredményként azokról a programokról számolunk be, melyeknek mérték a hatását.
Gibbons, Ebbeck Ă©s Weiss (1995) pĂ©ldául megállapĂtották, hogy egy speciális
(olimpiai) nevelési program hatással lehet a gyermekek erkölcsi fejlődésére.
A Second Half nevű program esetében, melyet Knijnik és Tavares (2012) vizsgált;
megállapĂtották, hogy a program nem Ă©ri el kitűzött cĂ©lját. Binder (2012) nĂ©gy
nemzetközileg is meghatározó olimpiai programot mutat be és elemez, kiemelve
azok fejlesztése és alkalmazása során végzett vizsgálatokat. Nanayakkara ( 2016)
kutatása során összefüggést talált a tanulók konfliktuskezelési stratégiájának
fejlődése és az olimpiai neveléssel kombinált konfliktuskezelési program bevezetése
között.

A kutatási terület fejlődésének a kulcsa lehet az olimpiai nevelési programok
hatásának szisztematikus és tervszerű vizsgálata. ----- Although more and more scientific research is carried out in the field of Olympic
education, several researchers note (Binder, 2012; Lenskyj, 2012; Monnin, 2012)
that there is not enough data which would make efficiency testing of Olympic
education programmes possible. The article aims to present research done in
testing the efficiency of Olympic education programmes; and to make a case
for the necessity of empirical studies. Through document analysis, the article
systematizes research of international Olympic education programmes. As
for result, we present those programmes where efficiency was measured.
For example, Gibbons, Ebbeck and Weiss (1995) found that a special (olympic)
education programme can affect children’s ethical behaviour. In the case
of the Second Half programme, studied by Knijnik and Tavares (2012), it was
detected that it cannot reach the intended goals. Binder (2012) demonstrates
and analyses four internationally influential Olympic programmes; highlighting
research done during their planning and application. Nanayakkara (2016) found
correlation between development of students’ conflict resolution strategies and
the implementation of a combined Olympic education and conflict resolution
programme. We conclude that even more scholarly research and analysis
is needed when designing and implementing programmes. Elaboration of
a measurement equipment would be useful in order to make efficiency testing
possible; and to be able to measure the effect of certain programmes on students’
behaviour and morals. The research area would benefit from such a systematic
and purposeful measurement, it could mean advancement in the field
A szĂĽlĹ‘i minta szerepe a sportolási szokásokban Ă©s a testnevelĂ©s megĂtĂ©lĂ©sĂ©ben = The role of parents’ example on the view of sport habits and physical education
EgyetĂ©rtĂ©s mutatkozik abban, hogy elsĹ‘sorban az Ă©letmĂłd, a fizikai aktivitás, a táplálkozás, az egĂ©szsĂ©gkárosĂtĂł szenvedĂ©lyektĹ‘l valĂł mentessĂ©g, valamint a mentális-lelki egyensĂşly számĂt a fĹ‘ egĂ©szsĂ©get befolyásolĂł tĂ©nyezĹ‘k közĂ©. A szĂĽlĹ‘k szerepe kiemelĂ©sre Ă©rdemes a sportolási szokások Ă©s a sporthoz valĂł viszony kialakĂtása Ă©s fenntartása oldalárĂłl. A tanulmány cĂ©lja a testnevelĂ©ssel Ă©s sportolással kapcsolatos taulĂłi Ă©s szĂĽlĹ‘i vĂ©lemĂ©ny Ă©s tapasztalat bemutatása. NyĂlt Ă©s zárt vĂ©gű kĂ©rdĂ©sek segĂtsĂ©gĂ©vel kĂ©rdeztĂĽk meg egy vidĂ©ki kisváros 10-12 Ă©ves a tanulĂłit (n = 1218) Ă©s szĂĽleit (n = 571). EredmĂ©nyeink alapján elmondhatĂł, hogy a szĂĽlĹ‘k gyermekkorukban többet sportoltak, mint a gyermekeik jelenleg. A tanulĂłk 58%-a egyáltalán nem sportol a testnevelĂ©sĂłrán kĂvĂĽl. A sport tipikus szĂntere az Ă©desanyák esetĂ©ben az iskola, mĂg az Ă©desapa Ă©s a tanulĂłk esetĂ©ben a klub. A szĂĽlĹ‘i minta jelentĹ‘s rĂ©sze fontosnak tartja az iskolai testnevelĂ©st, ugyanakkor a szakirodalommal ellentĂ©tben nem játszanak jelentĹ‘s szerepet a gyermekeik sportolásában Ă©s a fizikai aktivitás iránti pozitĂv attitűd kialakĂtásában. ----- There seems to be an agreement on the factors of lifestyle, physical activity, nutrition, avoiding health harming activities, mental and psychological harmony as main influential factors on health. The role of parents need to be underlined when focusing on children’s sport habits and general attitude towards physical activity. The purpose of this study was to examine pupils’ and their parents’ experiences and opinions on healthy active living and sports. Pupils (n=1218) and their parents (n=571) were asked to answer open and closed ended ques- tions in a small suborn town in Hungary. According to the results, parents did more sport in their childhood as compared to their school-aged children nowadays. More than half of the pupils (58%) do not do any physical activity outside of the compulsory physical education sessions. The most typical venue for sport is the school facility in the case of mothers, where as it is the club system for fathers and their children. Parents believe that compulsory physical education in important, however parents did not play a significant role in their children sport habits and developing a positive attitude towards sport
