El progreso de las deportistas en términos de igualdad en la sociedad española no sólo se mide por el acceso de más mujeres al deporte o a la toma de decisiones sino que es importante conocer aspectos como su realidad social y las dificultades con las que se encuentran. En el presente artículo se analiza el estado de la cuestión del deporte femenino español de competición desde una perspectiva de género teniendo en cuenta los siguientes factores: el marco normativo en igualdad de trato y sin discriminación en el deporte, las políticas deportivas con perspectiva de género llevadas a cabo por el Consejo Superior de Deportes y las federaciones deportivas, la discriminación por razón de género, los medios de comunicación social y el lenguaje sexista. El estudio se posiciona en el paradigma interpretativo, utilizando la metodología cualitativa. Se recoge la opinión de 9 entrevistados especializados en la materia: 3 gestores autonómicos, 2 gestoras del ámbito federativo, 1 jurista deportiva, 1 periodista deportiva y 2 ex-profesoras universitarias e investigadoras expertas en género y deporte. El instrumento utilizado ha sido la entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados obtenidos revelan un panorama necesario de cambio, donde convendría una aplicación exhaustiva del marco normativo con perspectiva de género al ámbito deportivo, la revisión de las políticas y programas con perspectiva de género llevadas a cabo por las federaciones deportivas y una modernización de la gestión federativa.Abstract. The progress of athletes in terms of equality in the Spanish society is not only measured by the access of women to sport or decision-making, but also by knowing aspects such as social reality and the difficulties they face.

Educational Challenges

To contain the COVID-19 pandemic, governments all over the world implemented strong lockdown measures to a large part of the population, including the closing of educational centres. Teachers were urged to transform their teaching methodology, moving from a face-to-face model to an emergency remote education (ERE) model, characterised by the use of technologies to continue with lectures and maintain the physical distance with the students. The aim of the present study was to analyse the existence of socio-digital inequalities and the educational challenges posed by the development of an ERE model, hence, contributing to the literature by proposing a systematic and holistic approach on this phenomenon. Based on the characteristics of the research problem and the objectives set, a qualitative methodology was applied. On the one hand, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 136 active teachers as the main data gathering technique. On the other hand, grounded theory was key in interpreting the results, with the aim of generating the theory in a systematic and holistic manner. It can be asserted that ERE was very useful during the lockdown of schools, and its potential to transform education was demonstrated. However, it was also shown that the development of an ERE model can cause socio-digital inequalities among students, due to the lack of access to digital devices and Internet connection, mainly due to factors, such as the socio-educational level of the family and the rural or urban context of the centre.

Introduction In Spain the use of epidurals for pain relief during childbirth is widespread. Currently, we can observe a progressive change in attitude towards a less interventionist care and the use of non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain, unless the woman has left instructions otherwise. Aims To explore the decision-making process concerning pain relief methods in childbirth in order to detect the elements of vulnerability that are present in said process and examine the demands directed towards healthcare professionals. Methodology This study has applied a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological theoretical-methodological approach. The technique used to obtain information was the semistructured individual interview. The study was carried out in Catalonia. The participants were 17 adult women with low-risk pregnancies. Results Three categories have been identified after the analysis: (a) Completion of the birth plan: an approach to the decision; (b) The rationale of the decision: resources and barriers; and (c) The approach to pain in childbirth: elements of vulnerability. Conclusions Women do not always make firm decisions when completing the birth plan; The decisions expressed may be statements of intent. At the time of delivery, the perceived pain can be experienced as a threat that makes them feel vulnerable. The role of midwives and other healthcare professionals is to help work out this sense of vulnerability.

The elderly abuse in a family is one of the most challenging problems in a society. The present study aims to assess the prevalence of elderly abuse in the family environment of JureliTole of Bakaiya Rural Municipality. The study also presents various risk factors that influence the prevalence of Elderly abuse. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 103 elders taken from household survey by using census method. The data were collected through a face-to-face structured interview schedule. The descriptive and regression analysis of the collected data showed that the prevalence of elderly abuse was 46.6% in the study population. This study measured significant association (p<0.05) of overall abuse against the elder with only two socio-demographic variables (literacy status and health status) among the variables (gender, age groups, living with or without spouse, literacy status, health status, dependency status, and income level). The results showed that the elders with/without spouse had the highest odds ratio to be abused (2.19 times) followed by gender (1.64 times), and health status (1.25 times). Although this study found lower prevalence than many previous studies, it is still significant and needs to be prevented. Based on the study, it can be said that living without a spouse, with poor health, and being female are the major predictive descriptors for elderly abuse.The policies and programs are needed for the prevention of elderly abuse which may require collective action from social, health and justice sectors.

El presente trabajo persigue describir las necesidades educativas de los estudiantes con discapacidad en una unidad educativa de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas (Ecuador), y contrastar esta realidad definida a partir de su experiencia, con la exigida por el legislador ecuatoriano para la construcción de una educación constitucionalmente definida como del Sumak Kawsay. Se sigue una metodología cualitativa, y se aplica como técnica de recolección de datos la entrevista estructurada a seis estudiantes con distintas discapacidades según el Consejo Nacional de Discapacidad del Ecuador. Entre las conclusiones más relevantes se aprecia una aún incipiente cultura educativa inclusiva, preocupada principalmente por la estructura física más que en la integración de los distintos actores de la comunidad educativa; en especial, se aprecia una necesidad de fortalecer las funciones de los Departamentos de Consejería Estudiantil, así como la formación y apoyo del docente en cuanto al refuerzo de la relación de confianza con los estudiantes, identificación de sus necesidades particulares, y una apreciación del valor de aprendizaje de este colectivo como aderezo de una relación intercultural orientada a la inclusión educativa y al abandono del asistencialismo.ABSTRACTThe present study aims to describe the educational needs of students with disabilities in an educational unit in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas (Ecuador), and to contrast this reality defined from his experience with that demanded by the Ecuadorian legislator for the construction of an education constitutionally defined as Sumak Kawsay. A qualitative methodology is followed, and the structured interview is applied as a data collection technique to six students with different disabilities according to the National Disability Council of Ecuador. Among the most relevant conclusions, there is a still an incipient inclusive educational culture, mainly concerned with the physical structure rather than the integration of the different actors of the educational community. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the functions of the Student Counselling Departments, as well as teacher training and support in reinforcing the relationship of trust with students, identification of their particular needs, and an appreciation of the learning value of this group as an intercultural relationship oriented towards educational inclusion and abandonment of welfarism.

<p>The motivation of tertiary teachers in Cambodian higher education has not received much attention over the years. Specifically, very little is known about factors that motivate and de-motivate Cambodian tertiary teachers in choosing and remaining in their teaching careers. The purpose of the study is to investigate: 1) the factors which influenced teachers to choose teaching careers, 2) motivating and de-motivating factors associated with their teaching, and 3) motivations which may lead them to leave or stay in their teaching careers. It is important to examine the motivational factors that are influential for Cambodian university teachers in order to increase their teaching productivity so that the institutional effectiveness can be enhanced which will lead to improvement in the quality of Cambodia higher education. This research used a single exploratory case study within a qualitative methodology. The study was conducted at two departments in a typical public university in Cambodia. The data was collected through the implementation of one questionnaire that attracted 36 respondents and one semi-structured interview held with each of 8 volunteer participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interview data and open-ended questionnaire data. The findings of the study reveal that intrinsic factors were more important than extrinsic factors in influencing teacher motivation in becoming and remaining in teaching. However, extrinsic factors were de-motivating teachers in their teaching and may lead them to leave the profession. The findings are discussed in the context of some theories of motivation and previous empirical studies. Recommendations are made regarding strategies to be used and what further research can be undertaken to address the problem.</p>
