No significant associations between shift work and being overweight/obese were observed in health care workers in a Colombian setting. These findings need to be confirmed through longitudinal studies.
Los ambientes de aprendizaje se entienden como una organización estudiada de espacios y materiales. El docente tiene un rol secundario, por lo que esta tendencia favorece una participación libre y activa de los estudiantes. Se entiende que es una forma de potenciar la creatividad y el trabajo autónomo, evitando el trabajo reproductivo. El objetivo propuesto pretendía determinar el nivel de disfrute de los estudiantes en las sesiones desarrolladas a través de la propuesta de entornos de aprendizaje. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 420 niños, de un centro educativo. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Sonrisómetro en el cual se registró el disfrute de los estudiantes, y un registro de observación en el que se anotaban aspectos relativos al comportamiento de los participantes en referencia a las actividades realizadas. Los datos revelaron que el disfrute de los estudiantes fue elevado, tanto por lo que mostraban los resultados del Sonrisómetro como por las conductas registradas.Abstract. Learning environments are understood as a prepared organization of spaces and materials. Teachers have a secondary role, so this tendency promotes free and active participation of students. This is understood as a way for promoting creativity and autonomous work, avoiding repetitive work. The proposed objective sought to determine students’ level of enjoyment in sessions carried out via the proposal of learning environments. The sample was composed of 420 children from an educational center. The instruments used were the Smile-meter, by means of which students’ enjoyment was recorded, and an observation log in which aspects of students’ behavior related to the carried-out activities were written down. The data showed students’ enjoyment was high based on both the results from the smile-meter and on the recorded behaviors.
<p>Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a body dismorphic disorder in which the sufferer is dissatisfied with their body size and shape. MD has yet to be studied in weightlifters, and the objective of this research study is to detect its symptoms in 32 male weightlifters as well as any related characteristics and behaviours. This study involved the distribution of a sociodemographic questionnaire in addition to the <em>Escala de Satisfacción Muscular</em>, the<em> </em>Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire, and the Somatomorphic Matrix, with the anthropometric measurements of the participants also being recorded. The results revealed the existence of body dissatisfaction among athletes and, in some cases, muscle perception that does not equate to reality. The athletes also use substances to build their muscles and enhance their performance, display obsessive muscle checking behaviours, and have low general physical self-concept that stems from their muscle (dis)satisfaction. To conclude, this study confirms the existence of MD in this sport.</p>
The aim of this study is to evaluate a theoretical model for analyzing the influence of need satisfaction, need thwarting, motivation, enjoyment, boredom, and exhaustion in physical education on the intention to be physically active. In addition, we examined the mediation effect of motivation between psychological basic needs and the intention to be physically active. The study was based on self-determination theory. To achieve this, 480 students between 12 and 18 years old filled out a questionnaire to measure the satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs, motivation, enjoyment, boredom, exhaustion, and intention to be physically active. The results of path analysis showed the relevance of the satisfaction of the need for competence in physical education in order to increase self-determined motivation, enjoyment, and intention to be physically active. Additionally, intention was positively predicted by enjoyment and negatively predicted by exhaustion. Need thwarting directly predicted negative consequences, such as boredom and exhaustion. Motivation mediated the relationship between basic needs and intention to be physically active. These data highlight the importance of considering basic psychological need thwarting in studies on the promotion of physical activity.
Individuals affected by Muscle Dysmorphia (MD; body image disorder based on the sub estimation of muscle size), practice weightlifting in order to alleviate their muscular dissatisfaction. Although physical activity is associated with increased physical self-perception, we assume that this was not reproduced in full in people with MD. The study sample consisted of 734 weightlifters and bodybuilders, 562 men and 172 women, who completed the Escala de Satisfacción Muscular, the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire, and from whom measures of body fat and Fat -Free Mass Index (FFMI) were obtained. The results showed that people suffering from MD symptoms, overall, have poorer physical self-concept perceptions (F = 18.46 - 34.77, p < .01).
El presente trabajo trata uno de los aspectos más estudiados en Educación Física como es el modelo pedagógico de Aprendizaje Cooperativo y su repercusión sobre el alumnado en edad escolar. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue conocer la percepción del profesorado del área de Educación Física en la etapa de Educación Primaria acerca del uso del Aprendizaje Cooperativo y su relación con la Inteligencia Emocional. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una investigación cualitativa por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas a través de la opinión de un total de seis maestros de Educación Física pertenecientes a la etapa educativa de Educación Primaria. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que los docentes muestran una actitud positiva y poseen buenas percepciones hacia este modelo pedagógico. Sin embargo, todos coinciden en el argumento de que se necesita mucho esfuerzo y trabajo, así como seguimiento constante para obtener beneficios y resultados significativos. Asimismo, afirman que este modelo está estrechamente relacionado con la Inteligencia Emocional, considerándolo un aspecto que lo enriquece todavía más. Abstract. The present work deals with one of the most studied aspects of Physical Education such as the pedagogical model of Cooperative Learning and its impact on shool-age students. The main goal of this research was to know the perception of teachers in the area of Physical Education in Primary Education about the use of Cooperative Learning and its relationship with Emotional Intelligence. To this end, qualitative research was carried out through semi-structured interviews thanks to the opinion of a total six Physical Education teachers from the Primary Education. The results obtained confirm that teachers show a positive attitude and have good perceptions towards this pedagogical model. However, everyone agrees on the argument that it takes a lot of effort and work, as well as constant monitoring to obtain benefits and significative results. They also affirm that this model is closely related to Emotional Intelligence, considering it as an aspect that enriches it even more.
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal resaltar la vital importancia que tiene la motivación en el contexto educativo. Para ello, se presenta el desarrollo de una propuesta de intervención basada en el factor novedad como elemento mediador para incrementar la motivación de los alumnos en las clases de Educación Física. Para su puesta en práctica, se diseñó una Unidad Didáctica, la cual fue implementada con el grupo experimental, incluyendo como factor novedad un juego alternativo desconocido para el alumnado, el Colpbol. Por otra parte, con el grupo control se trabajaron aquellos contenidos que recogía la programación didáctica en el momento del curso en el que se llevó a cabo el estudio. Finalmente, mediante el instrumento BNSGS-Evento, se comparó el grado de motivación del alumnado en los factores que lo componen, mostrando mejoras en el grupo experimental con respecto al grupo control, siendo la novedad un factor determinante en la motivación que los alumnos presentan en las clases de Educación Física. Abstract. The main aim of this work is to highlight the vital importance of motivation in the educational context. To do this, the development of an intervention based on novelty as a mediating element to increase students’ motivation in Physical Education lessons is proposed. A work unit was designed to implement the program on an experimental group, including an alternative game, Colpbol, unknown by the students, as the novelty element. On the other hand, the control group was presented with the contents already included in the didactic program for the duration of the period corresponding to the intervention program. Students’ motivation degree was compared based on its factors through the BNSGS-Event instrument, showing improvements in the experimental group with respect to the control group, being novelty a determining factor in the motivation that students reported in the Physical Education lessons.
El Aprendizaje-Servicio supone la posibilidad de aprender contenidos de los programas formativos mientras se presta un servicio a la comunidad, tratando de atender una necesidad existente en la sociedad y no cubierta. El presente trabajo presenta la realización de una experiencia de Aprendizaje-Servicio en la que participaron 34 futuros maestros de Educación Física, que debían prestar un servicio a un grupo de 14 personas con discapacidad intelectual (DI), dirigiendo sesiones de Educación Física, construyendo para ello su propio material con material reciclado. Las personas con DI no contaban con profesionales encargados de realizar sesiones de EF de manera habitual. Se evaluaron: i) creencias y opiniones sobre la utilización del material reciclado en Educación Física, con el objetivo de evaluar el aprendizaje del programa, y, la ii) opinión sobre la experiencia con dicho material y la opinión sobre el potencial educativo del Aprendizaje-Servicio, para evaluar el servicio prestado. Los resultados muestran que los futuros maestros de EF mejoraron sus actitudes hacia la construcción de material reciclado y valoraron de manera positiva la implementación del programa de Aprendizaje-Servicio. Los participantes destacaron que aprendían más cuando realizaban experiencias prácticas, como es el caso del programa realizado. De manera que se concluye que la inclusión de programas de esta naturaleza puede ser adecuada para la mejora del desarrollo profesional en la formación inicial del profesorado.
