NOTE: THROUGHOUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE, TEXT THAT APPEARS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS WILL NOT BE READ ALOUD TO RESPONDENTS.

THIS QUESTIONNAIRE WILL BE ADMINISTERED USING COMPUTER ASSISTED PERSONAL INTERVIEW TECHNOLOGY. THE INTERVIEWER WILL READ THE QUESTIONS ALOUD AND TYPE RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS INTO THE LAPTOP COMPUTER. THE INTERVIEW PROGRAM WILL 1) DISPLAY THE CORRECT TENSE OF VERBS, 2) PROVIDE ALTERNATE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS (E.G., NOT APPLICABLE, “I DON’T KNOW”), 3) NAVIGATE COMPLEX SKIP PATTERNS, AND 4) PERFORM OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS. THE PROGRAMMING SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE INTERVIEW ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PRINTED VERSION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE.

NOTE: PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW, PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES, TEACHERS, AND SECTIONS WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED AT EACH SCHOOL. IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOL CONTACT PROVIDED A LIST OF ALL GRADES IN WHICH PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS REQUIRED. TWO GRADES WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM THIS LIST (UNLESS THERE WERE ONLY TWO OR FEWER GRADES, IN WHICH CASE ALL WERE SELECTED). FOR EACH SELECTED GRADE, ONE TEACHER WAS RANDOMLY SELECTED TO BE INTERVIEWED. WHEN NECESSARY, A SECTION (E.G., MORNING KINDERGARTEN CLASS) WAS RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR THE TEACHER TO FOCUS ON THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW. IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOL CONTACT PROVIDED A LIST OF ALL REQUIRED PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES FOR THE 2005–06 SCHOOL YEAR WITH A CORRESPONDING LIST OF TEACHERS FOR EACH COURSE. IF THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES WAS EIGHT OR FEWER, ALL THE COURSES WERE SELECTED. IF THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES EXCEEDED EIGHT, EIGHT COURSES WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED. FOR EACH SELECTED COURSE, ONE TEACHER WAS RANDOMLY SELECTED TO BE INTERVIEWED AND ONE SECTION OF THAT TEACHER’S COURSE (E.G., 2ND PERIOD PHYSICAL EDUCATION 101) WAS RANDOMLY SELECTED FOR HIM/HER TO FOCUS ON THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW.
