Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Lower weekly practice frequency was associated with higher creativity ratings, with a large effect size (η2 = 0.26). → Vasilopoulos Fotini 2023 q3 i3 Longer session duration was associated with higher creativity ratings (η2 = 0.32). → Vasilopoulos Fotini 2023 (2) q3 i? Highly qualified educators were more likely to lead interventions with more creativity-fostering elements. → Vasilopoulos Fotini 2023 (3)

Evidence¶

Vasilopoulos Fotini 2023¶

Vasilopoulos Fotini, Jeffrey Holly, Wu Yanwen, Dumontheil Iroise. (2023). Multi-level meta-analysis of whether fostering creativity during physical activity interventions increases their impact on cognitive and academic outcomes during childhood. Scientific Reports. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-35082-y

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

ANOVA across the 92 included studies comparing creativity scores by weekly session frequency; pairwise comparisons showed the higher the number of sessions per week, the less creative the intervention (e.g., 1/week vs 3/week or 4/week, p < 0.001).

"The frequency of practice was associated with the creativity rating of the intervention, F(3, 89) = 10.42, p < 0.001, with a large effect size (η2 = 0.26)."

Scientific Reports. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-35082-y

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

ANOVA comparing creativity scores by session bout duration; pairwise comparisons showed longer teaching sessions fostered creativity to a greater extent (< 20 min vs 45–60 min or > 60 min, p < 0.001).

"Session duration was associated with intervention creativity rating (F(3, 69) = 13.67, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.32)."

Vasilopoulos Fotini 2023 (3)¶

Vasilopoulos Fotini, Jeffrey Holly, Wu Yanwen, Dumontheil Iroise. (2023).

Scientific Reports. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-35082-y

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Independent t-test across the 92 studies comparing creativity ratings for PE teachers/exercise science researchers versus classroom teachers/researchers; significant difference with no printed effect size.

"Teacher qualification was associated with creativity rating of the intervention, whereby highly qualified educators were more likely to lead interventions with more elements fostering creativity (t(91) = 2.83, p < 0.01)."
