Active Lives Children and Young People Survey, 2022-2023

The <span style="font-style: italic;">Active Lives Children and Young People Survey</span>, which was established in September 2017, provides a world-leading approach to gathering data on how children engage with sport and physical activity. This school-based survey is the first and largest established physical activity survey with children and young people in England. It gives anyone working with children aged 5-16 key insight to help understand children's attitudes and behaviours around sport and physical activity. The results will shape and influence local decision-making as well as inform government policy on the PE and Sport Premium, Childhood Obesity Plan and other cross-departmental programmes. More general information about the study can be found on the Sport England <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/research/active-lives-survey/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Active Lives Survey</a> webpage and the <a href="https://activelives.sportengland.org/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Active Lives Online</a> website, including reports and data tables.<br> <p>Due to the closure of school sites during the coronavirus pandemic, the Active Lives Children and Young People survey was adapted to allow at-home completion. This approach was retained into the academic year 2022-23 to help maximise response numbers. The at-home completion approach was actively offered for secondary school pupils, and allowed but not encouraged for primary pupils.<br></p> <p>The adaptions involved minor questionnaire changes (e.g., to ensure the wording was appropriate for those not attending school and enabling completion at home) and communication changes. For further details on the survey changes, please see the accompanying User Guide document. Academic years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 saw a more even split of responses by term across the year, compared to 2019-20, which had a reduced proportion of summer term responses due to the disruption caused by Covid-19.</p> <p>The survey identifies how participation varies across different activities and sports, by regions of <span>England, between school types and terms, and between different demographic groups in the population. The survey measures levels of activity (active, fairly active and less active), attitudes towards sport and physical activity, swimming capability, the proportion of children and young people that volunteer in sport, sports spectating, and wellbeing measures such as happiness and life satisfaction. The questionnaire was designed to enable analysis of the findings by a broad range of variables, such as gender, family affluence and school year.</span></p> <p>The following datasets have been provided:</p> <p>1) Main dataset: this file includes responses from children and young people from school years 3 to 11, as well as responses from parents of children in years 1-2. The parents of children in years 1-2 provide behavioural answers about their child’s activity levels; they do not provide attitudinal information. Using this main dataset, full analyses can be carried out into sports and physical activity participation, levels of activity, volunteering (years 5 to 11), etc. Weighting is required when using this dataset (wt_gross / wt_gross - Csplan files are available for SPSS users who can utilise them).</p> <p>2) Year 1-2 dataset: This file includes responses directly from children in school years 1-2, providing their attitudinal responses (e.g., whether they like playing sport and find it easy). Analysis can also be carried out into feelings towards swimming, enjoyment of being active, happiness, etc. Weighting is required when using this dataset (wt_gross / wt_gross - Csplan files are available for SPSS users who can utilise them).</p> <p>3) Teacher dataset: This file includes responses from the teachers at schools selected for the survey. Analysis can be carried out to determine school facilities available, the length of PE lessons, whether swimming lessons are offered, etc. Since December 2023, Sport England has provided weighting for the teacher data (‘wt_teacher’ weighting variable).</p> <p>For further information, please read the supporting documentation before using the datasets. </p>《活跃生活儿童与青少年调查（Active Lives Children and Young People Survey）》于2017年9月启动，是全球领先的儿童体育与身体活动参与数据采集研究。这项基于学校的调查是英国首个且规模最大的儿童青少年身体活动专项调查，可为5至16岁儿童的相关从业者提供核心洞察，帮助其了解儿童在体育与身体活动方面的态度与行为模式。调查结果将助力地方决策制定与优化，并为体育教育与体育专项拨款、儿童肥胖防控计划及其他跨部门项目的政府政策提供依据。如需了解该研究的更多通用信息，可访问英格兰体育（Sport England）的《活跃生活调查（Active Lives Survey）》网页与活跃生活在线（Active Lives Online）官网，其中包含各类报告与数据表。 受新冠疫情期间学校停课影响，该调查调整为支持居家完成答卷。这一模式在2022-2023学年继续沿用，以最大化答卷回收量。居家填写模式针对中学生主动推广，对小学生则仅开放权限但不鼓励参与。 本次调整包含问卷措辞的小幅修改（例如适配未在校且需居家完成答卷的受访者）与沟通方式调整。如需了解调查调整的更多细节，请参阅配套的《用户指南（User Guide）》文档。2019-2020学年受新冠疫情影响，夏季学期答卷占比下降；而2020-2021、2021-2022及2022-2023学年的答卷回收在各学期分布更为均衡。 本调查可分析不同体育活动、英格兰各地区、学校类型、学期以及不同人口统计群体间的参与差异。调查涵盖活动水平分级（活跃、较活跃、低活跃）、对体育与身体活动的态度、游泳能力、参与体育志愿服务的儿童青少年比例、体育观赛情况，以及幸福感与生活满意度等福祉测量指标。问卷设计支持通过性别、家庭富裕程度、就读学年等多维度变量开展分析。 本次提供的数据集如下： 1) 主数据集：该文件包含学年3至11年级的儿童青少年受访者数据，以及1至2年级儿童的家长反馈数据。1至2年级儿童的家长需填写关于子女活动水平的行为类问题，无需提供态度类信息。使用该主数据集可开展体育与身体活动参与度、活动水平、志愿服务（5至11年级）等全维度分析。使用该数据集时需进行加权处理（SPSS用户可使用提供的wt_gross / wt_gross - Csplan文件）。 2) 1至2年级数据集：该文件包含1至2年级儿童的直接答卷数据，用于收集他们的态度类回答（例如是否喜爱体育运动、是否认为运动简单易行），也可用于分析对游泳的感受、运动带来的愉悦感、幸福感等内容。使用该数据集时需进行加权处理（SPSS用户可使用提供的wt_gross / wt_gross - Csplan文件）。 3) 教师数据集：该文件包含参与调查的学校教师的反馈数据，可用于分析学校可用设施、体育课时长、是否开设游泳课等内容。自2023年12月起，英格兰体育为教师数据提供了加权变量（‘wt_teacher’）。 使用本数据集前，请查阅配套支持文档以获取更多信息。
