Abstract
Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to identify research questions, methods, and outcomes regarding antecedents, structure, and consequences of social relations in physical education (PE).
Introduction: Physical education can make a special contribution to children's social development. During PE, a unique social element is involved, as children need to work collaboratively, cohesively, and constructively with each other during the lesson to reach a common goal. Collaboration in this group work may be different during PE than in the academic classroom, because of the differences in context and social relations. PE is therefore considered an optimal environment to work on children's social relationships. However, to fully utilize the potential of PE, it is necessary to gain more insight into the social relationships and social networks during PE. This review is therefore the first step in a comprehensive study of social relations and social network analysis in PE. Given the wide variety of topics in studies on social relations in PE and therefore the various methods and findings, it is important to create an overview. Through this review, we would like to gain more insight into the structure, antecedents, and consequences of social relationships in PE.
Methods: Databases to be searched are Medline, PsycInfo, Eric, SportDiscus, Embase, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria are studies examining students aged ± 4 to 18 years and conducted in the PE context in primary or secondary school and focusing on the structure, antecedents, or consequences of social relationships (including peer acceptance, social status, social networks, etc.). Exclusion criteria are special education and sport settings, social-emotional concepts related to individual characteristics of a child, grey literature, and reviews. Before screening a pilot test of 25 studies was done by three reviewers. Reviewers started screening all articles on title and abstract when 75% agreement was achieved in this pilot. The full text of selected citations was assessed in detail against the inclusion criteria for at least 50% of the studies by two reviewers. Data extraction was done using an extraction form. Descriptive results including population, context, aims, study design, methodology, and key findings were extracted and will be presented in the manuscript.
Presentation: The purpose of the presentation is to introduce the methods of this scoping review and to share the initial results. In addition, the presentation provides insight into the first step of innovative research into social relationships and networks in PE.
