The aim of the present study was to describe the school environment of public and private primary schools from the city of Pelotas, RS, Southern Brazil, according to the availability of Physical Education (PE) classes, breaks, extracurricular activities and physical spaces. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including both public and private schools. In each school, the principal or a PE teacher was interviewed to assess PE classes, recess and extracurricular activities, while a checklist was carried out to evaluate the quality and availability of physical spaces.  A total of 71.9% of the 99 schools had PE classes for grades 1 to 4. Extracurricular projects were available in 59.6% of the schools and 71.2% offered free activities to students. The most common activities are dancing and “futsal”. There was a gym in 10.1% of schools (40.0% of private and 4.8% of public schools). Higher availability and quality of outdoor courts, indoor rooms, multimedia rooms and green areas were more consistently found among private schools than public schools. Our findings indicated a low coverage of PE classes in grades 1 to 4, and insufficient availability and quality of physical structures in the public schools, compared to private ones. Many environmental features should be used in order to improve students’ health and well-being.

The Relationship

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence skills and self-efficacy levels among physical education teachers from the teachers' own perspective. The researchers developed two scales that measure the emotional intelligence skills; and another one to measure self-efficacy levels for physical education teachers. These two scales were applied on (70) teachers from public and private schools of the Salt Directorate of Education in Jordan. The results show a strong relationship between the emotional intelligence skills and self-efficacy levels among physical education teachers. Therefore, the results also showed that the physical education teachers have high levels of emotional intelligence skills and self-efficacy levels. Also, the results show the presence of statistically significant differences between teachers in the emotional intelligence skills for the benefit of male teachers, and between public and private schools for public schools. The researchers have recommended that it is necessary to teach some training programs about emotional intelligence to physical education teachers in both public and private schools and universities.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the implementation of initiatives and environments promoting healthy feeding as well as the practice of physical activity in public and private schools in Recife. Methods: the schools selected in the City of Recife (n=39) are part of the sample in the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA). The degree of implementation was estimated by means of interviews with the school manager emphasizing the following components: community participation, presence of healthy environments, partnership with the health segment, monitoring of nutritional status and nutrition policies. The variables selected were assigned points whose sum rated them as satisfactory implementation, poor implementation and critical implementation. Results: the promotion of healthy eating as well as the practice of physical activity was satisfactorily implemented in 13.8% of public schools. However, no private schools obtained such rating. Public schools, when compared to private schools, showed themselves to be more structured, concerning the policies and environments promoting healthy eating and school community participation, however, they showed greater fragility regarding the promotion of physical activity practice and nutritional status monitoring. A few schools had satisfactory implementation in the partnership with the health segment. Conclusions: public and private schools have presented barriers which compromise the full implementation of initiatives and environments promoting healthy eating and physical activity practice.

<p>Pretende-se, neste artigo, estudar a influência das infraestruturas escolares desportivas no cumprimento do currículo de Educação Física, na qualidade do processo de ensino e nas aprendizagens realizadas pelos alunos. Trata-se de um estudo de metodologia investigativa qualitativa que utilizou a entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento de coleta e produção de dados. A pesquisa empírica contemplou entrevistas com os cinco diretores das escolas públicas municipais dos anos finais do ensino fundamental da cidade de Armação dos Búzios-RJ. Os dados obtidos pela análise de conteúdo foram organizados em três categorias, sendo a categoria “Descaso Público” elucidativa e didática. Infere-se que o ambiente de aprendizagem existente (as quadras polidesportivas em praças públicas) e a infraestrutura escolar disponibilizada para as aulas de Educação Física inviabilizam o cumprimento do currículo em sua integralidade, afetam os conteúdos de ensino e, por conseguinte, os objetivos educacionais não são atingidos.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Infraestrutura Escolar, Educação Física, Ensino Fundamental, Políticas Públicas.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infraestructura escolar y Educación Física: tensiones y conflictos</strong></p><p>Se preconiza, en este artículo, estudiar la influencia que tienen las infraestructuras deportivas de las escuelas en el cumplimiento de la asignatura de Educación Física, en la calidad del proceso de enseñanza y en el aprendizaje realizado por los estudiantes.

The main objective of this study was to analyze the influence of materialism on adolescents’ subjective quality of life. For the empirical research, 705 questionnaires were applied in public and private schools in the city of João Pessoa (Brazil), resulting 667 valid responses of adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age, mostly women and from private schools. The sampling was by conglomerates and the analysis of the data was quantitative. From the results, it was not possible to confirm the direct influence of the level of materialism on the level of subjective quality of life. The limitations were presented by not having identified a high level of materialism among the adolescents surveyed. The social contribution of this study is the identification of factors that may increase adolescent consumption.

The presumption that the subject of physical education as a complement, less meaningful learning, so there is the assumption that the subject of physical education is not important. This is a challenge for physical education practitioners in developing and improving the quality of learning better.         In the implementation there are still many problems in the learning of physical  education such as: [1] there is still a lot of time wasted during physical education lesson in progress, so that learning tends to be less meaningful., [2] involvement of students as a whole when lesson is not maximal, so that learners begin to feel bored in learning, [3] Utilization of learning time is still minimal, so the management of the class seemed not ready.       The purpose of this study is expected to know how much time effective in learning physical education in high school in the city of Pontianak. While the method used in this research is descriptive research method with quantitative approach, in the form of survey, with the number of samples of 5 public schools located in the city of Pontianak.        The conclusion of the calculation of the percentage of effective time of learning of learners in high school is found as follows: SMAN 1 with the proportion of time utilization (63.33%) and the total involvement of learners (83.33%); SMAN 2 with the proportion of time utilization (46.67%) and the number of students' involvement (75.00%); SMAN 3 with the proportion of time utilization (44.44%), and the number of students' involvement (85.00%), SMAN 4 proportion of time utilization (44.44%) with the total involvement of learners (61.90%), SMAN 5 with the proportion of time utilization (46.67%), and number of learner participation (45.00%).

Contextual Elements

El objetivo de este estudio, fue destacar qué otros elementos contextuales son más importantes que la evaluación de la condición física, para evaluar la calidad de la educación física a nivel escolar. Teniendo esto en perspectiva, se diseña un nuevo instrumento que permita determinar la percepción de los escolares de acuerdo a su proceso de formación en educación física. Se aplica el instrumento a 174 escolares de ambos sexos (80 hombres; 94 mujeres) con una edad media de 13,8 + 0,7 años, pertenecientes a Octavo año de Enseñanza Básica de colegios de distintos contextos económicos. Los resultados muestran diferencias en el “desarrollo de vida activa”, “desarrollo de autocuidado” y en “didáctica de la clase”, donde los colegios municipales presentan un valor más bajo que los particulares privados. Entre hombres y mujeres existen algunas diferencias en sus respuestas, pero que no permiten obtener conclusiones claras. No obstante, los valores más bajos se dan en  “expresión motriz” y “actividades en el entorno natural”, esenciales para una vida activa, pero que parecen no estar tratándose en el currículo de educación física. Este instrumento puede ser una valiosa estrategia de evaluación del contexto escolar de educación física.Abstract. The aim of this study is to highlight which contextual elements are more important than physical fitness evaluation in the assessment of the quality of physical education in schools. From this perspective, a brand new instrument was designed to determine students’ perception of their educational development in physical education. The instrument was applied to 174 eight-graders (94 girls, 80 boys) with an average age of 13.8 ± 0.7 years, enrolled in primary schools from different socioeconomic contexts. The results show differences in "Developing active life", "self-development", and "in-class pedagogy", public schools obtaining lower scores than private ones. Differences were also found in the responses of boys and girls, however, they do not allow for clear conclusions. The lowest scores were obtained in "Motor Expression" and "outdoor activities". Despite being essential for an active lifestyle, these activities do not seem to be used within the physical education curriculum. This instrument can represent a valuable means for evaluating school physical education context.
