| Abstract: | The article focuses on elementary school students' preferences regarding outdoor, indoor, and meal/snack recess, highlighting their likes and dislikes. It identifies two main themes: the importance of social experiences and the need for opportunities to engage meaningfully during recess. Students generally enjoy outdoor recess more due to the freedom it offers for social interaction and physical activity, while indoor recess is often viewed less favorably due to chaos and limited engagement options. Gender differences are noted, with boys favoring competitive sports and girls preferring social activities that foster connection. The study emphasizes the need for improved recess environments to enhance student enjoyment and reduce conflicts. [Extracted from the article] |
