The students in the comparison group were given additional oral information in order to secure that they were aware of the content of their participation in the study.
It is therefore necessary to identify participation instruments developed using the ICF and then examine the content to determine how the concept of participation has been operationalized and if content pertaining to other concepts is included.
Two instruments, the P-Scale and WHODAS II, were considered to have content not related to the concept of participation, which was defined broadly as ICF categories in the activities and participation domains d1 Learning and applying knowledge to d9 Community, social and civic life.
The purpose of this study was to build on the work by Perenboom and Chorus [ 2] and examine the content of instruments measuring participation according to the ICF using the published methodology.
The PE teachers taking part in the present study experienced that giving their students an influence on the content of PE facilitated engagement and participation in PE class.
Here, we documented content learning as a result of participation in an interdisciplinary STEM activity, a result that is important because it shows the value of interdisciplinary STEM activities.
Data analysis showed that life skills content, participation of students as mediators, positive social relationships content, participation of families, quality evaluation, content reinforcement and design by the whole school community are the elements of effectiveness less present in the projects.
An informed consent form explaining the voluntary nature of participation and the content of the survey was also presented to them.
In this telephone call additional information is given about the content of study and the implications of participation.
Before inclusion in the study, each informant was given oral and written information about content, confidentiality, and the voluntary nature of participation and oral and written consent for participation was obtained.
