Several pedagogical considerations have been suggested to spark student engagement in the learning environment, including models-based approaches and effective teaching strategies ( Ennis, 2017 ). However, one area that needs more consideration for all teachers is the social climate they

Background:
To evaluate the 1-year stability of objectively measured physical activity among young adults living in South Brazil, as well as assessing the influences of temperature, humidity and precipitation on physical activity.
Methods:
A longitudinal study was conducted over 12 consecutive months (October 2012 to September 2013). Sixteen participants (8 men) used GT3X+ accelerometers 1 week per month for the entire year. Climate variables were obtained from an official climate information provider.
Results:
Physical activity was remarkably stable over the year—the proportion of the day spent in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) was around 5% in every month. Average temperature (ρ = –0.64; P = .007), humidity (ρ = –0.68; P = .004) and rain (ρ = –0.67; P = .004) were inversely correlated to MVPA in the Summer. Rain was also inversely correlated to MVPA in the Spring (ρ = –0.54; P = .03).
Conclusions:
Objectively measured physical activity was stable over a 1-year period. Climate variables consistently influenced physical activity practice in the Summer, but not in the other seasons.

Research investigating motivational climate in sport has demonstrated a strong positive relationship between young athletes’ perceptions of a caring/task-involving climate and a range of positive outcomes, including high effort, intrinsic motivation, and prosocial behaviors ( Braithwaite, Spray

Achievement goal perspective theory (AGPT; Nicholls, 1989 ; Roberts, 2012 ) is one framework that has been employed in exercise psychology research to consider how to optimize individuals’ motivation in physical activity settings.

Researchers in sport psychology have utilized the two motivational climates of achievement goal theory ( Ames, 1992 ; Nicholls, 1989 ) to
