Teachers’ and students’ perception about the suitability and the development of physically active classes and active breaks
To gather information about the development of the intervention and gain insights into perceptions, barriers, areas for improvement, strengths, training needs, and sustainability, individual interviews and focus groups are conducted with teachers and students (Teachers involved in the PAL sessions (three teachers in Cadiz and three teachers in Caceres), as well as an equivalent sample of teachers in AB group, participate in one-hour semi-structured individual interviews. These interviews provide an opportunity for teachers to share their experiences, thoughts, and suggestions regarding the PAL and AB. In addition, a one-hour focus group is conducted with a sub-sample of six students from each class in both the AB and PAL groups. These focus groups allow students to express their perceptions, experiences, and opinions about the intervention, providing valuable insights into their engagement, enjoyment, and perceived benefits of the PAL and AB.
