Adolescents are frequently faced with situations in which they have to make decisions by choosing from a range of possible alternatives. In such circumstances, individual, social, and environmental conditions have an impact on the choice of the final decision in light of the various options presented. The main objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the psychological well-being of adolescent students and their decision-making style. The research method used corresponds to an ex post facto, quantitative, transversal, correlational, and descriptive design, with an initial sample of 1,262 students from the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain, aged 13-19. A subsequent resampling of 385 participants was extracted from the initial sample by proportional allocation to strata (according to the levels of the variables gender, academic year, and educational institution classification) to guarantee the representativeness of the population data. Data collection uses the first Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological well-being Scale and the Flinders Adolescent Decision Making Questionnaire, adapted by Friedman and Mann. The data shows that greater use of adaptive decision-making strategies correlates significantly with greater psychological well-being. In contrast, the correlation is high and negative at the intersection of the maladaptive decision-making variables and psychological well-being.
Time atomisation trends, leisure economy, and social and technological changes are causing a reframe of the leisure and free-time industry. This study aims to analyse the assessment of nine cross-cutting contents by the main agents involved in leisure-time instructor courses, and a group of young subjects in Spain. The study sample consisted of 1049 individuals, including management and technical teams, leisure and free-time schoolteachers, leisure and free-time school students (receiving the leisure-time instructor course), and finally a group of external young subjects. An ad hoc questionnaire was used, and the results were analysed through a correlational study using contingency tables and chi-square and Somers’ D statistics, Spearman’s correlation to determine within-population correlations, and the Kruskal–Wallis test to establish that these relationships were not randomly established. The results show that all the analysed agents valued the training proposal of cross-cutting contents as a consolidated item. This indicates that the nine cross-cutting contents should be maintained in these courses. Social Skills content was crowned as the defining content of this training, and there was dissonance in the ICT-Use content, which was not highly valued by main agents but was highly valued by young people, leading to the need to review this content to adjust it to the real needs of the young population.
To improve initial teacher training programs and favora positive encounter between students and those who design and implement them, it is necessary to have up-to-date information on entry profiles. This article describes the students according to their life experiences, previous knowledge, professional development and learning goals to know opportunities, needs and improvement trends. From a qualitative orientation, 62 initial evaluation tasks were selected for first-year students of the General Didactics subject of the Master's degree in Primary Education at Universidad XXX from the 2014-15 to 2019-20 academic year. The documentary analysis was supported by the computer software Atlas ti 9 from which emerged, through the articulation of the grounded theory, a set of categories whose relationships and interpretations, results were obtained that evidenced, among others: high teaching vocation and ideas preconceived in training and professional interests oriented to educational change. As main conclusions, it is proposed to connect with training and professionalexperiences related to the educational field as precursory teaching elements; promote innovative, participatory and teamwork methodologies; and guide the theory to educational practice and teaching organization. Para mejorar los programas de formación inicial docente y favorecer un encuentro positivo entre el alumnado y quienes los diseñan e implementan, es necesario disponer de información actualizada sobre los perfiles de entrada. Este artículo describe al alumnado según sus experiencias de vida, conocimientos previos, desarrollo profesional y metas de aprendizaje para conocer oportunidades, necesidades y tendencias de mejora. Desde una orientación cualitativa se seleccionaron 62 tareas de evaluación inicial del estudiantado de primer curso de la asignatura Didáctica General del grado de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria de la Universidad XXX desde el curso 2014-15 hasta 2019-20. El análisis documental fue apoyado por el software informático Atlas ti 9 del que emergieron, por medio de la articulación de la teoría fundamentada, un conjunto de categorías de cuyas relaciones e interpretaciones, se obtuvieron resultados que evidenciaban, entre otros: alta vocación docente e ideas preconcebidas en la formación e intereses profesionales orientados al cambio educativo. Como principales conclusiones se plantea conectar con la formación y experiencias profesionales afines al ámbito educativo como elementos precursores docentes; potenciar metodologías innovadoras, participativas y de trabajo en equipo; y orientar la teoría a la práctica educativa y a la organización docente.
Los cambios sociales y tecnológicos nos llevan a replantearnos si las formaciones de ocio y tiempo libres están adaptadas a las necesidades actuales. Este artículo de investigación tiene por objetivos (1) conocer las valoraciones de agentes profesionales y jóvenes respecto a contenidos transversales que se imparten en los cursos de monitor de ocio y tiempo libre, y (2) evaluar la significación de las relaciones que se establecen entre los contenidos transversales a partir de los diferentes colectivos consultados. A partir de un cuestionario dirigido a 1049 personas, de equipos directivos/técnicos de escuelas de ocio y tiempo libre, responsables de la formación y coordinación del alumnado vinculado a 25 escuelas de tiempo libre y jóvenes de 11 comunidades autónomas de España. Se realizó un estudio correlacional a través de tablas de contingencia, mediante los estadísticos Chi Cuadrado y D de Somers. Como resultados se evidencia que los agentes valoran la propuesta formativa como consolidada y aceptada, pues existe una coherencia entre los contenidos, la expectativa del alumnado y las personas implicadas, lo cual ha permitido reflexionar y proponer actualizaciones de los contenidos transversales. Además de sugerir mantener los contenidos transversales centrados en las actuales políticas de juventud, así como en sus necesidades.
