A dynamic school day is a school day that involves regular interruptions of sedentary learning with moments of physical activity. Many Dutch primary schools have thus far not succeeded in making their school day more 'dynamic' .
In this project, the researchers will develop an educational innovation to support schools in the development of a dynamic school day that is tailored to their local context. To determine the effectiveness of the educational innovation, the researchers will study the implementation process and assess the effectiveness.
The research questions for the researcher project are:
1. To what extend are school teams successful in the development and implementation of a tailored dynamic school day, and what are facilitating and hindering factors during implementation? 2. What is the effect of the tailored dynamic school day on 8 - 12 year old pupils? Sedentary time and physical activity behavior, wellbeing and in class behavior will be assessed.
