Abstract

                This research study investigated the effect of participation in Physical Education Game Activities [PEGA] on elementary school students’ Physical Self-Esteem [PSE]. The samples were randomly divided into two groups: 43 subjects for a treatment group and 39 subjects for a control group. The treatment group participated in PEGA for 12 weeks (one day per week for 45 minutes). The data was analyzed statistically using means, standard deviations, gain score analysis, and independent t-tests.


                The results of the 12-week study found that:


                1) The treatment group had a higher PSE gain score mean than the control group and the difference between the means of the two groups was statistically significant at the .05 level.


2) The treatment group had a higher physical performance subdomain gain score mean than the control group and the difference between the means of the two groups was statistically significant at the .05 level.


                These results indicate that participation in PEGA can improve physical self-esteem in elementary school students.
