In the light of the recent excavations of the Templo Mayor in downtown Mexico City, we explore the problem of the role of astronomy, calendar, and the landscape in the design and orientation of the building and of the city in general. We employ ethnohistoric data relating to the foundation myth of Tenochtitlan as a means of generating hypotheses concerning astronomical orientation that can be tested by reference to the archaeological record. We find that eastward-looking observations (implied in dismantling and reconstructing the myth) that took place around the time of the equinox may have been related to an attempt to transform a true east orientation from the natural environment into the architecture via a line that passed through the center of the Temple of Huitzilopochtli (the more southerly temple of the pair constituting the top of the Templo Mayor). It also is possible that the notch between the twin temples served a calendrical/orientational function. Evidence is presented to support the view that the mountain cult of Tlaloc, represented in the environment on the periphery of the Valley of Mexico by Mount Tlaloc, also may have directly influenced the orientation of the building and that it was part of a scheme for marking out days of the calendar by reference to the position of the rising sun at intervals of 20 days from the spring equinox. In this regard, we discuss the connection between the Templo Mayor and an enclosure containing offertory chambers atop Mount Tlaloc, which is located on a line extended to the visible horizon 44 km east of the ceremonial center. The ethnohistoric record implies that this place had been used for sacrifices to the rain god after whom the other of the twin temples of the Templo Mayor was named.

Trabajo Colaborativo

Los diferentes valores otorgados a las Actividades en el Medio Natural las han convertido en un bloque de contenidos de obligado cumplimiento dentro del área de Educación Física. Esta investigación se fundamenta en la impulsión de su desarrollo práctico en un colegio de la ciudad de Zaragoza. El tratamiento de estas prácticas en el mismo se remite hasta el momento en experiencias puntuales, centradas especialmente en las campañas de Semana Blanca, en las cuales la participación del alumnado es reducida, al presentarse como actividades complementarias. Para llevar a cabo este cometido, se ha optado por el uso de la metodología de la investigación-acción colaborativa, destacando la importancia del trabajo cooperativo como medio para solventar las limitaciones dadas por este bloque de contenidos: desde la formación inicial del profesorado en esta materia, hasta la disposición de instalaciones y materiales específicos. De esta manera, se pueden diferenciar dos grupos de conclusiones dentro de este estudio: Por un lado, los factores necesarios para establecer una dinámica de trabajo colaborativo entre el profesorado de este centro educativo. Por otro lado, los aspectos requeridos para poder diseñar y afianzar propuestas de contenidos de Actividades en el Medio Natural en este centro, adaptándolos a sus propias características contextuales.Palabra clave: Educación Física, contenido de la educación, investigación-acción, trabajo colaborativo.Abstract: The different values †given to Activities in the Natural Environment have become a mandated content block within the area of Physical Education. This research is based on the urging of its practical development of a school in the city of Zaragoza. So far, the analysis of these practices in this school, refers to some specific experiences focused on the volunteer activities done during the «snow week», which means less participant students. Collaborative action-research is the methodology used for this purpose, therefore team-work is demanded to overcome the limitations presented by this block of contents: teacher training as well as both facilities and materials must be provided. Thus, we found two groups of conclusions: firstly, the factors necessary to establish a dynamic collaborative work among teachers of this school. Secondly, the aspects required to design and strengthen the proposed contents of environmental Activities in the school, adapting them to its own physical contextual characteristics.Key words: Physical Education, content of education, action-research, collaborative work.

This article is part of an investigation carried out in Spain by the Spanish League of Education of public utility (2018) in which the difficulties, methodologies and good practices in Education for Health, within the educational field with young people in vulnerable situation are presented. A mixed, quantitative-qualitative methodology was applied in which 458 professionals from 97 Secondary Education centres were interviewed in 32 localities in five autonomous communities. One of the main findings of the research is the relationship established with certain variables and the curricular-transversal approach to health issues in schools: gender, age, position, subject taught and territory definitely influence this approach. Thus, teaching biology, physical education or ethics, occupying positions of orientation or direction, presenting an age higher than the average or being a woman is related to presenting a broader vision of health and making a curricular approach to it.

Abstract: In recent years many new and modern buildings have emerged in Yogyakarta, on the other hand the existence of kampongs and the natural environment continues to decline, including local wisdom in managing the environment is increasingly abandoned. Kampung Gampingan as a "kampung kota" in the city of Yogyakarta, located on the riverside of the Winongo River. Kampong administrators and it’s citizen Gampingan cooperate to manage and maintain the quality of the kampong environment. For them, the aspect of environmental conservation is very important and considered because it aims to maintain harmonious relationships between humans and the natural environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore information about environmental management in kampong Gampingan, which involves citizens and consider the impact on the natural environment. The results show that community participation, partnerships with various parties (other communities, universities, government and private), and the role of facilitators are very important in the management of kampong based on local wisdom. Community participation is the key to the success or failure of kampong management based on local wisdom.Keywords: kampong management, community participation, local wisdomAbstrak: Dalam beberapa tahun akhir-akhir ini banyak bangunan baru dan modern muncul di Yogyakarta, pada sisi lain keberadaan kampung dan lingkungan alamiah terus berkurang, termasuk kearifan lokal dalam mengelola lingkungan semakin ditinggalkan. Kampung Gampingan termasuk “kampung kota” di kota Yogyakarta, terletak di tepi Sungai Winongo. Pengurus kampung dan warga kampung Gampingan bergotong-royong mengelola dan menjaga kualitas lingkungan kampung. Bagi mereka, aspek pelestarian lingkungan sangat penting dan diperhatikan sebab bertujuan menjaga hubungan harmonis manusia dan lingkungan alam. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah menggali informasi tentang pengelolaan lingkungan di kampung Gampingan, yang melibatkan warga dan mempertimbangkan dampak terhadap lingkungan alam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat, kemitraan dengan berbagai pihak (komunitas lain, perguruan tinggi, pemerintah dan swasta), dan peran fasilitator sangat penting dalam pengelolaan kampung yang berbasis kearifan lokal. Peranserta masyarakat menjadi kunci keberhasilan atau kegagalan pengelolaan kampung berbasis kearifan lokal.Kata kunci: mengelola kampung, partisipasi warga, kearifan lokal

In Brazil, many students dislike Physical Education classes because of content repetition, dissatisfactory curricular organization, among other factors. This work aims at assessing the efficiency of a proposal for Physical Education classes, which includes contents of physical activities and the use of comic books. This is a qualitative study and both bibliographic and field researches were carried out. Ten classes were held to a group of ninth graders from a public school in the city of Piracicaba/SP/Brazil. We found that the use of comic books as a teaching resource is effective: it portrays the experiences that the students, felt and mediated through their “rational” and “sensitive” knowledge about physical activities.

Augmented Reality Game

The augmented reality game-based learning (ARGBL) approach is an advantageous pathway for the development and enhancement of teaching and learning processes. To this end, this paper presents the design and development of an ARGBL application for the implementation of physics experiments in the fifth grade of a Greek primary school. The purpose of the ARGBL system is twofold: to educate and entertain. For this reason, a treasure hunt game was implemented, which allows students to interact with a digital world and to manipulate virtual objects with the use of an augmented reality (AR) device. Then, according to the instructions, students have to collect all the materials to conduct the AR educational experiment. Overall, the evaluation of the system’s usability by 17 users (both students and teachers) was very promising, indicating that the ARGBL application has the potential to be an easy-to-use educational tool for improving not only the teaching of physics experiments in primary school but also the learning process, by positively affecting the students’ motivation and engagement.

Since their inception in the XIX Century, mass media have been crucial in shaping the image of the urban environment on our collective subconscious. In the early 20th Century, newspapers and magazines bustled with exacerbated but fascinating images of the city of the future, which appeared as hyperbolic portrayals of the perception that the contemporary citizen had of his own effervescing modern environment. Cinema soon joined this process, as a privileged, mechanical eye that could record, analyse and reinvent the accelerated modern city and its evolution. Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1926) epitomized the powers of the new medium, providing the viewers with a window that allowed them to see this Lacanian Other come alive, somehow encapsulating their own experience of the new urban reality. Over half a century later films such as Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982) took the torch as fictional future representations of postmodern space that provided the postmodern citizen with a suitably hyper-real substitute of reality. Three decades after that, the videogames and virtual reality experiences based on those very films promise to break the final barrier, allowing us to cross to the other side of the membrane, and freely move through that which is, literally, an augmented reality.

Las actividades en la naturaleza contribuyen al desarrollo integral del alumno mientras logran los objetivos generales del currículo oficial. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer el tratamiento de las actividades en la naturaleza en los centros educativos. Se utilizó una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, con un total de 120 profesores de Educación Física de Educación Primaria (63.04%) y de Educación Secundaria (36.96%). Se administró el cuestionario DAFNE (Diagnóstico de las actividades físicas en el medio natural en el ámbito escolar), de 17 ítems con 8 dimensiones de análisis. Se aplicó un análisis estadístico multivariable para determinar la relación entre sus variables dependientes e independientes. La programación de actividades en la naturaleza y las acciones previas a su realización, son factores optimistas para los docentes, en contraposición de la falta de recursos y fomento institucional para llevarlas a cabo. Los centros públicos contemplan, en mayor medida, las actividades en la naturaleza en la programación, siendo más críticos con la Consejería de Educación en comparación con los centros privados concertados. Los docentes de experiencia media (5-15 años) reciben más apoyo de los agentes implicados en la educación. Los graduados en Educación Primaria manifestaron una opinión favorable sobre la organización escolar y formación. Los centros de una línea educativa son más proactivos a la hora de programar actividades en la naturaleza. El estudio ofrece un diagnóstico de resultados orientado hacia un plan de promoción y fomento de las actividades en la naturaleza dentro de la Educación Física.Abstract: Physical activities in the natural environment contribute to pupils’ comprehensive development at the same time as they contribute to the general objectives of the official curriculum. This study sought to know how education centres treat activities in natural settings. A total of 120 physical education teachers (63.04% Primary Education, 36.96% Secondary Education) were selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Additionally, the DAFNE (school-related physical activities in the natural environment diagnosis) questionnaire, including 17 items in an 8-dimension structure, was used. Multivariate statistical analysis was conducted in order to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The planning of activities in the natural environment and the actions prior to their development are considered as positive by teachers; opposed to that, the lack of resources and institutional support to conduct them are negative aspects. Public schools consider the development of activities in the natural environment to a greater extent in their lesson planning compared to subsidised private schools. Similarly, the former shows a more critical attitude towards the Ministry of Education. Teachers with medium experience (5-15 years) receive considerable support from the agents involved in education. Graduates in Primary Education expressed favourable opinions about school organization and training. Education centres comprising one class per year are more proactive about planning outdoor activities. This study offers a diagnosis of results directed towards the promotion and fostering of activities in the natural environment within Physical Education.

The Relationship

In his trilogy of space travel novels, published between 1938 and 1945, C.S. Lewis strikingly anticipates, and incarnates in imaginative form, the insights and concerns central to the modern discipline of ecotheology. The moral and spiritual battle that forms the plot of the novels is enacted and informed by the relationship between humans and the natural environment, Rebellion against, and alienation from, the Creator inevitably manifests in a violent and alienated attitude to creation, which is seen as something to be mastered and exploited. Lives and cultures in harmony with the divine will, on the other hand, are expressed in relationships of care and respect for the environment. The imaginative premise of the Trilogy is that of ecotheology; that the human relationships with God, neighbour, and earth and are deeply and inextricably intertwined.
