Abstract

This study was undertaken in order to: (1) determine the basic motor skill and physical fitness levels of both migrant and resident students enrolled in the Chief Kamiakin School and Outlook School located in Sunnyside District #201; and (2) apply this knowledge to their present physical education program. In addition the writer devised a curriculum of activities for the migrant students, designed to upgrade their physical capabilities. Numerous empirical judgments were formulated in an effort to determine the relative effect of this curriculum as compared to: (1) resident students of the same age and/or grade and sex; (2) each migrant student's own test scores.
