Abstract

Play time in schools helps children engage in physical activities. It is necessary to consider the environment where the children play because it can affect their enthusiasm to play and to learn. In this study, the effect of the thermal quality of the classroom, which was determined by measuring the temperature and humidity inside the classroom, on the movement of the children was investigated. The movement of the students was assessed using video analysis wherein the displacement of the students every 10 s were obtained. From the results obtained, the total average of the displacement of students in AM class is 87.61 m, while that of the PM class is 59.21 m. It was observed that the students in AM class, the toddlers, have greater average displacement than students in PM class. Also, in both AM and PM class, it was observed that the average of the total displacement of boys is higher compared to that of the girls even though girls outnumber the boys in the attendance. Moreover, the results obtained showed that the movement of the students can be affected by temperature and humidity.
