Research Consortium Poster Session: Thematic Early Childhood and Elementary Education Posters
The peer-reviewed posters selected for this session focus around three themes: (A) early childhood and elementary age children; (B) motivating children and youth in physical education; and (C) after school programs. The poster presentation format offers a unique opportunity for researchers to illustrate their studies graphically, using charts, photos, diagrams and text on a poster board, while also encouraging individual and small group dialogue between the study author(s) and convention attendees circulating among the poster boards.
