The purpose of the study was to know which subjects in the curriculum best predict school satisfaction and boredom as well as the student’s academic grade. The sample was of 680 adolescents of physical education (339 males, 341 females) with age between 12 and 18 years (M = 14.83; SD = 1.45). We used a questionnaire composed of the satisfaction scales with the subjects, intrinsic satisfaction in the school and related to academic grades. Descriptive analyses, correlations, and structural regression models were performed. The high levels of satisfaction and academic performance in physical education stand out. In the structural model, English is the subject that most predicts academic grades, while language predicts satisfaction at school and physical education boredom at it.

Adolescents’ academic performance and the way it is related to their subjective wellbeing are issues of great interest across educational systems. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how satisfaction with high school subjects can predict school satisfaction and academic performance in Mexican students. The sample consisted of 457 high school students in the Baja California and Nuevo León states in Mexico (247 boys, 210 girls); their mean age being 14.10 (SD = 0.84). We used a questionnaire featuring a subject satisfaction scale, an intrinsic school satisfaction scale, and one related to academic grades. We used descriptive analyses, correlations, and structural regression models. In terms of results, the high satisfaction and academic performance levels in physical education, Spanish and English are worth highlighting. Geography and history are the most relevant predictors of academic grades, while Spanish predicts school satisfaction and physical education predicts boredom. In conclusion, satisfaction with mathematics, Spanish, and English are strong predictors of satisfaction (SATF), and the latter in turn predicts Mexican high school students’ academic performance.

In the last four years there have been a number of changes in the field of secondary education in the country, which are basically of a normative nature. Following the processes of regulation and functioning of the education system in the country, we decided to study the basic normative documents that regulate and have relation to the subject Physical Education and Sport. The method by which we conducted the study is research and analysis of literary and documentary sources. As a result of the research carried out, we have identified changes in the structure of the educational system, which have an immense impact on the state of the educational requirements and the content of the subject curricula. The conclusions of the conducted survey are as follows: 1. The already approved legal framework, which regulates the secondary education system in the country, is based on a qualitatively new approach in education, which leads to both structural and functional changes in the system. 2. The subject of Physical Education and Sports remains obligatory for all pupils at all stages and levels of the education system, except for those who are trained under the "Dual Training" system in the second high school stage. 3. In the approved curricula of Physical Education and Sport, there are many repetitions of the learning content in the different stages and grades, which is a prerequisite for loss of training hours and non-observance of the principles and particularities of the training in motor activities.

El proyecto de investigación de más rango científico y con los mayores recursos dedicados al estudio de la educación escolar en el Programa Marco de la Unión Europea: INCLUD-ED, muestra que las prácticas de las escuelas de éxito en Europa están en la línea del enfoque dialógico del aprendizaje. En un centro educativo donde el alumnado pertenece a 36 nacionalidades diferentes, se propone la implantación de formas dialógicas de organización en el aula como los grupos interactivos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el tipo de agrupación en el aula mediante grupos interactivos para comprobar, por un lado, su impacto sobre la motivación y la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio, y por otro, en qué medida influyen estos grupos interactivos sobre el aprendizaje teórico. Para esto, 113 participantes en la asignatura de Educación Física de tercero y cuarto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria recibieron dos clases mediante organizaciones diferentes del aula, una organización tradicional (TRAD) a modo de grupo de control y otra de grupos interactivos (GIN) respectivamente. Se evaluó el grado de satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio, el grado de motivación y la adquisición de conocimientos teóricos específicos de la asignatura. Los resultados muestran tanto mejoras a nivel de conocimientos teóricos, como una mayor satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio y motivación intrínseca de GIN frente a TRAD. Abstract. The research project with the highest scientific rank and the greatest resources dedicated to the study of school education in the European Union's Framework Programme: INCLUD-ED, shows that the practices of successful schools in Europe are in line with the dialogical approach to learning. In an educational school where  students belong to 36 different nationalities, the implementation of dialogical forms of organization in the classroom, such as interactive groups, is proposed. The present study aimed to analyze the type of grouping in the classroom through interactive groups in order to check, on the one hand, their impact on motivation and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and on the other hand, to what extent these interactive groups influence theoretical learning. For this purpose, 113 participants in the subject of Physical Education, from third and fourth year of Compulsory Secondary Education, received two classes through different classroom organizations: a traditional organization (TRAD) as a control group, and with interactive groups (GIN), respectively. The degree of satisfaction of basic psychological needs, the degree of motivation, and the acquisition of specific theoretical knowledge of the subject were evaluated. The results show both improvements in theoretical knowledge and greater satisfaction of basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation of GIN compared to TRAD.

The implementation of pedagogical models (PMs) in the subject of Physical Education (PE) is presented as a pedagogical approach that is based on the educational context as a means to overcome the serious limitations that arise from traditional approaches. The effective implementation of this approach has demonstrated benefits in terms of student motivation, student involvement and improved learning. Thus, its application and international relevance, the variability of content covered, the possibility of replicability in a variety of contexts and the fact that it favors a reflective framework and common action by teachers are some of the reasons that justify its use. In this sense, the need for teacher training, as well as the intention to generate more scientific evidence based on its application in the classroom, are some of the key aspects to be taken into account for its implementation and consequent consolidation in the educational field.

The Subject

Background. The financial effect of households’ out-of-pocket payments (OOP) on access and use of health systems has been extensively studied in the literature, especially in emerging or developing countries. However, it has been the subject of little research in European countries, and is almost nonexistent after the financial crisis of 2008. The aim of the work is to analyze the incidence and intensity of financial catastrophism derived from Spanish households’ out-of-pocket payments associated with health care during the period 2008–2015. Methods. The Household Budget Survey was used and catastrophic measures were estimated, classifying the households into those above the threshold of catastrophe versus below. Three ordered logistic regression models and margins effects were estimated. Results. The results reveal that, in 2008, 4.42% of Spanish households dedicated more than 40% of their income to financing out-of-pocket payments in health, with an average annual gap of EUR 259.84 (DE: EUR 2431.55), which in overall terms amounts to EUR 3939.44 million (0.36% of GDP). Conclusion. The findings of this study reveal the existence of catastrophic households resulting from OOP payments associated with health care in Spain and the need to design financial protection policies against the financial risk derived from facing these types of costs.
