denominada IAFHE, que fue aplicada a una muestra aleatoria de 1120 alumnos de edades comprendidas entre los 10 y los 12 años. Los tests de independencia aplicados y el análisis multivariante (Mancova) efectuado señalan que la percepción de utilidad en las clases de Educación Física es una variable que se relaciona de forma significativa, tanto en varones como en mujeres, con un aumento en los niveles globales de actividad física habitual de los escolares. Las medias registradas en la subescala de actividad físico-deportiva escolar son significativamente más elevadas a las observadas en la subescala de actividad deportiva voluntaria y durante el tiempo de ocio; esta circunstancia es debida, probablemente, al carácter de obligatoriedad de dicha materia, lo que nos orienta hacia la necesidad de aumentar la presencia horaria dentro del currículum.
The intersection of language education and special education is not clearly marked for linguistically and culturally diverse students; some qualify as English language learners; others as English language learners with disabilities or specific language impairment; still others with only disabilities or specific language impairment. It is often perplexing to try to decipher which category is most appropriate and, consequently, how best to serve these students. Assessment data, if reliable and valid, coupled with historical information, can help define the pathway to educational success for the fastest growing segment of our school population. This article shares the challenges facing educators of English language learners and attempts to show how proper assessment can guide educational decision making. We pose that for English language learners, assessment must entail the gathering of information from multiple sources on their language proficiency and academic achievement in both English and their native language. In that way, we obtain a comprehensive portrait of the students' full complement of knowledge and skills. Ultimately, English as a Second Language or bilingual teachers working along with speech-language pathologists need to collaborate in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data to afford English language learners optimal opportunities for success in school.
