Nowadays, the important role of the sport in our society is undeniable. From the Physical Education point of view, we must take its values and we must transmit them to our pupils. Let us think that it is not sufficient with presenting sports at school, but it must have a direct transference that affects our pupils’ free time transforming it into an active leisure, because the Physical Education has the purpose to achieve the integral education of the pupils. In this sense, it seems necessary to form good spectators to be critics with which they see and that they value the principles of all sport activity and to appreciate the different sport manifestations they attend, contributing to form different opinions to achieve an integral education. The mass media, and particularly the television, present a set of values that turn around several axes (exit, competition, consumption, possessiveness). The television must have the purpose of entertaining, of informing and of educating; but if we compared the values that arise from the sport competitions emitted on television with the values that we tried to promote at schools, we could question ourselves if they are at the same level, or, on the contrary, they aim in opposite ways. The sport activity occupies an important role in the leisure of the young people, on the one hand as a sport practice and, on a second hand, as spectators of sport events. From our subject, we want to contribute providing a meaningfulness to these activities for our students and, to reach, as Pierre de Couvertin said that all the sports were for everybody, pleading for a global sport in which any limit of age, physical condition, sex… En los tiempos que corren es innegable el papel que juega el deporte como gran agente social en nuestra sociedad. Desde el área de Educación Física debemos utilizar los valores tan extraordinariamente importantes que nos aporta y que de una manera decidida tenemos que transmitir a nuestro alumnado. Consideramos que no es suficiente con dar a conocer los deportes en el ámbito educativo; no parece suficiente con que trabajemos para que hagan deporte, sino que éste tenga una transferencia directa que incida en su tiempo libre transformándolo en un ocio activo, ya que la Educación Física, como área del currículum escolar, tiene como finalidad posibilitar la formación integral del alumnado, desarrollando todas las capacidades del ser humano. En este sentido, parece necesario conseguir buenos espectadores, que sean críticos con lo que ven y que valoren los principios de toda actividad deportiva y sepan apreciar desde una perspectiva crítica las diferentes manifestaciones a las que asisten como espectadores, aportando opiniones fundamentadas que contribuyan de alguna manera a su formación integral. Señala Cagigal que todo deporte organizado para el ocio y para la educación, como el espontáneo de cualquier movimiento popular es cada vez más, otra realidad distinta del deporte espectáculo. Por tanto, debemos ser conscientes de que no sólo es deporte el que sale en la televisión, sino mucho más, y nosotros desde estas líneas queremos mostrar algunas ideas encaminadas a desarrollar ese espíritu crítico en nuestro alumnado. Somos conscientes que desde los medios de comunicación, en general, y de la televisión, en particular, se desprende una jerarquía de valores que giran en torno a una serie de ejes (éxito, competencia, consumo, posesividad...). Aunque sabemos que la televisión debe tener la triple finalidad de entretener, informar y educar, si nos detenemos a analizar los valores que emanan de las competiciones deportivas emitidas por televisión y los valores que intentamos proporcionar, propiciar y potenciar desde los centros educativos, podríamos cuestionarnos si están en la misma línea, con el mismo frente común o, por el contrario, apuntan en sentidos opuestos. Como señalan los estudios al respecto, la actividad deportiva ocupa un lugar preponderante en lo que es el ocio activo de nuestros jóvenes, por una parte como práctica deportiva y, por otra, como espectadores de eventos deportivos. Por lo tanto, desde nuestra asignatura queremos contribuir a que estas actividades sean lo más significativas posible entre nuestro alumnado y, en definitiva, conseguir como señalaba el barón Pierre de Couvertin, que todos los deportes sean para todos, abogando por un deporte globalizador en el que no existan límites de edad, condición física, sexo…

The motivational style that teachers adopt during their interactions with their students in class can have a significant influence on the search for optimal and balanced development. Knowing the role of motivation in generating positive change, the key is to define the strategies that constitute an adaptive motivational style of teaching. The aim of this study was to design and validate the set of motivational strategies to support autonomy that are framed within the Self-Determination Theory in the context of physical education classes. For this purpose, a five-phase process was designed and carried out in one study involving different samples of experts, teachers and students. On the one hand, 25 autonomy-supportive motivational strategies were obtained and organized according to their perceived difficulty. We also analyzed the importance attributed by teachers and the difficulty of implementing them, as well as the autonomy support perceived by students through these strategies. The results obtained made it possible to present a behavior-optimizing solution consisting of a progression of 25 autonomy support strategies. The results obtained are discussed in terms of their value in the design of educational scenarios that promote high-quality student motivation.

Using the concept of mediatization, in this article, we analyze the relationship between sport and media from a sport-centered perspective. Examining the autobiographies of 14 German and English soccer players, we investigate how athletes use media outlets, what they perceive as the media’s influence and its logic, and—crucially—how this usage and these perceptions affect their own media-related behavior. Our findings demonstrate the important role of the media for the sports systems from the athlete’s point of view and demonstrate the research potential of mediatization as a fruitful concept in studies on sport communication. On the one hand, the sport stars reflect in their autobiographies that their status and income depend on media coverage; and on the other hand, they complain about the omnipresence of the media, especially offside the pitch and feel unfairly treated by the tabloid press, both in England and in Germany.

AbstractMost research in contract theory concentrated on the role of incentives in shaping individual behavior. Recent research suggests that social norms also play an important role. From a point of view of a mechanism designer (a principal, a government, and a bank), responsiveness of an agent to the social norms is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it provides the designer with extra instruments, while on the other it puts restrictions on how these new and the more conventional instruments can be used. The main objective of this paper is to investigate this trade-off and study how it shapes different contracts observed in the real world. We consider a model in which agent’s cost of cheating is triggered by the principal’s show of trust. We call such behavior a norm of honesty and trust and show that it drives incentives to be either low powerful or high powerful, eliminating contracts with medium powerful incentives.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación existente entre el deporte y la televisión, e identificar el papel del profesional del área de Educación Física en relación al deporte televisivo. Los diferentes medios de comunicación de masa (MCM) producen discursos e imágenes relacionadas al deporte, atribuyéndole a este elemento de la cultura, una serie de significados. Específicamente, ver el deporte a través de la televisión, es muy diferente de verlo en estadios y gimnasios, porque la producción televisiva está restricta a las jugadas y escenas previamente elegidas y seleccionadas por periodistas y productores de la información. Como procedimientos metodológicos, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de carácter cualitativa, así como un análisis textual, temático, interpretativo y crítico de los libros de estudiosos del Ocio, de la Comunicación y de la Educación Física. Las conclusiones son las siguientes: Al transmitirse el deporte por la televisión, éste es transformado en un «telespectáculo». Es en este proceso que se hace fundamental el papel desempeñado por el profesional de Educación Física, así como sus conocimientos. Este profesional, basado en la perspectiva de la Educación para el Ocio, será capaz de facilitar en sus alumnos el acceso al conocimiento propio del área, y el que éstos alcancen un nivel superior o inventivo de comprensión. De esta manera la intervención pedagógica realizada en la educación formal será fundamental para que dichos sujetos tengan acceso a elementos teóricos tales que les permita realizar una lectura competente del deporte difundido por el conjunto de medios de comunicación, y con ello disfruten de sus momentos de ocio con calidad.Palabras clave: Deporte; Ocio; Medios de Comunicación; Cultura.Abstract: This paper has the objective of analyzing the relationship between sports and television, and identifies the role of the professional who acts in the field of Physical Education related to sport on television. The media institution produces discourses and an image related to sports and attributes a group of signifiers to this cultural element. Watching sport on television is different from watching them in a stadium or a gymnasium. This occurs because the televise production is restrict to the passes and scenes chosen previously by journalists and producers. As methodological procedures, it was made bibliographical review of qualitative type and also, thematic, textual, interpretative and critical analysis of the books written by scholars in the field of Leisure, Communication and Physical Education. The conclusions are: sport, when it is showed by television, it is transformed into entertainment. During this process, the role of the professional of Physical Education is essential to mediate knowledge. The teacher, based on the perspective of education for leisure, can help students to have access to the knowledge so they can reach superior and inventive level of comprehension. Accordingly, pedagogical mediation realized in formal education will be essential so that the subjects have access to theoretical elements for a qualified reading of the sport showed by media, thus, they can enjoy their moments of leisure with quality. Key words: Sport; Leisure; Mass Media; Culture.

In Plato’s Laws several passages have been clearly conceived of as preambles. The most extended, and prominent, is the one we find at the beginnings of Book five. It amounts to a complicate tour de force, not easy to be accounted for.What surfaced during the present investigation is a meandrical line of thought which ends with the unexpected adoption of a proto-utilitarianist point of view. This turn is not only interesting (and possibly surprising) per se, since it implies that the author fully acknowledges the role of subjective evaluations that may well ignore the ontological hierarchy between gods-souls-bodies as well as the force of persuasion a wise legislator avails of.

Speech communication employs various and complex expressive ways ranging from linguistic to extralinguistic features, and it studies the interaction between the speaker and listener, including interpersonal interaction like the one between a patient and his or her traditional healer. This article discusses some of the issues concerning the language used in the traditional healing process which uses Baduy mantra among the community. Therefore, this study is interdisciplinary in nature and the overall approach is qualitative. Methodology-wise, this research is conducted using discourse analysis and an ethnography of communication. There are two aims from this study, which are: 1) to point out the linguistic and extralinguistic features utilised in the communication component related to activities contributing to the healing process; 2) to describe the meaning of the mantra used in the process of therapeutic practices; 3) to reveal the patterns of the Baduy medicinal mantra perceived from an ethnography of communication point of view. The results of the research indicate that the mimetic and expressive functions of mantra reflect the role of traditional therapeutic efforts as well as interpersonal relations among the members of the community. The extralinguistic elements are employed to arouse suggestion in order to support the effort of a treatment. Keywords: Baduy, communication, linguistic, extralinguistic, mantra.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate how body-representations offer an opportunity for its visual interpretation from a biographical point of view, enhancing, on the one hand, the image’s own narrative dynamics, and, on the other, the role of the body as a place of incorporation of experiences, as well as, a vehicle mediating the individual interaction with the world. Perspective founded in the works of the artists Helena Almeida and Jorge Molder, who use self-representation as an expression of these incorporated (lived) experiences, constitutes an important discursive construction and structuring of their narrative identity through visual creation, the artists enable the other with moments of sharing knowledge, creativity and subjectivity, contributing also to the construction of the contemporary, cultural and social imagery.

The aim of this article is to analyse the position and role of the European Commission in the procedure provided in the regulation on a general regime of conditionality for the protection of the European Union’s budget. For this purpose the scheme of this procedure was analysed, by interpreting the relevant regulations using the dogmatic method and considering opinions of the EU institutions and views of the scholars. A comparative method has also been applied. The new position of the Commission in the procedure for protection of the EU budget has been compared with the position it plays in the existing instruments. The analysis made from the point of view of the position of individual institutions in the new procedure, although it does not allow predicting how they will be implemented. The conducted analysis demonstrates that the European Commission – an institution of Community character – has gained wide competences, and in applying them it has been given a wide range of discretion. On the one hand, the introduced regulations exemplify a new paradigm in creating mechanisms for protection of the rule of law. On the other hand, they raise doubts as to their compliance with EU law. However, they undoubtedly constitute a decisive step towards increasing the effectiveness of the EU's instruments for the rule of law protection.
