Dr. Peter Gray from Boston College, discusses the article: Decline in Independent Activity as a Cause of Decline in Children’s Mental Wellbeing: Summary of the Evidence published with David Lancy and David Bjorklund.

I am going to do something a bit different. And, if this works, perhaps this is a good way to summarize some research for shorter podcasts.

This podcast is going to utilize ChatPDF, which is an AI website… chatpdf.com It’s fairly straightforward, you take a PDF, drag and drop it into the website, and then ask the AI questions about the article. I’ll caution you at the start, if you use this, it DOES make errors. I know this since I used my own article and could fact check it as I prepared this podcast, with that said, it’s a great tool to overview articles in my opinion IF you check the facts.

I am using my own article today, here it is if you want to read it:

#AIESEPConnect is the name of our AIESEP Global Outreach Programme.

It provides a space where members can critically engage with ‘hot’ topics that are linked to the core mission of AIESEP. It is a monthly engagement, a one-hour on-line session on the last Friday of each month. The timing of the session changes to ensure that we have global engagement in #AIESEPConnect sessions.

This is the audio from Friday April 26th 2023 – #AIESEPConnect #CoffeeWithColelagues: Lifestyle Sports in Physical Education. Hosted by Dr. Kristy Howells with guests Jordan Wintle, Prof. Carrie Paechter and Dr. Alison Murray.

This is the audio from the 2023 AERA SIG 93 Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar Lecture. The highest award given in the special interest group for PE at the American Educational Research Association each year.

Dr. Ben Dyson gave an in-person lecture in Chicago in April 2023. The audio isn't amazing as I used my cell phone to record it. It particularly loses steam during the questions (if you stick around for those). The introduction is by Dr. Pam Kulinna from Arizona State University. The lecture goes until minute 40, and then questions come up (which are hard to hear).

The next AERA conference is in Philadelphia in April of 2024. 2,000 word abstracts are due mid July 2023. Find out more about our SIG here https://www.aera.net/SIG093/RLIPE-SIG-93 It is a GREAT place to be and to submit your work to.

More information on the award:

Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar. This award is designed to recognize an outstanding scholar in the field of learning and instruction in physical education. This person’s scholarship has made a significant and consistent impact on the field for at least ten years. This award was re-named for Dr. Catherine D. Ennis in 2018. Dr. Ennis was a longtime member and contributor to SIG 93, and one of the most highly respected scholars in the field of physical education. Dr. Ennis passed away in 2017, and the SIG membership wishes to honor her legacy posthumously.
