El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal resaltar la vital importancia que tiene la motivación en el contexto educativo. Para ello, se presenta el desarrollo de una propuesta de intervención basada en el factor novedad como elemento mediador para incrementar la motivación de los alumnos en las clases de Educación Física. Para su puesta en práctica, se diseñó una Unidad Didáctica, la cual fue implementada con el grupo experimental, incluyendo como factor novedad un juego alternativo desconocido para el alumnado, el Colpbol. Por otra parte, con el grupo control se trabajaron aquellos contenidos que recogía la programación didáctica en el momento del curso en el que se llevó a cabo el estudio. Finalmente, mediante el instrumento BNSGS-Evento, se comparó el grado de motivación del alumnado en los factores que lo componen, mostrando mejoras en el grupo experimental con respecto al grupo control, siendo la novedad un factor determinante en la motivación que los alumnos presentan en las clases de Educación Física. Abstract. The main aim of this work is to highlight the vital importance of motivation in the educational context. To do this, the development of an intervention based on novelty as a mediating element to increase students’ motivation in Physical Education lessons is proposed. A work unit was designed to implement the program on an experimental group, including an alternative game, Colpbol, unknown by the students, as the novelty element. On the other hand, the control group was presented with the contents already included in the didactic program for the duration of the period corresponding to the intervention program. Students’ motivation degree was compared based on its factors through the BNSGS-Event instrument, showing improvements in the experimental group with respect to the control group, being novelty a determining factor in the motivation that students reported in the Physical Education lessons.

La educación patrimonial en el ámbito formal no suele incorporar las vivencias de las personas. Entrar en contacto con una comunidad que vive en conflicto con su patrimonio ofrece otra comprensión de ese legado. Para constatarlo, se ha realizado un estudio con un grupo de maestros en formación, de educación primaria. Se establecieron dos subgrupos para comprobar si la inmersión de uno de ellos en un espacio donde el patrimonio es una cuestión incómoda modifica sus percepciones sobre cómo enfocar la educación patrimonial (grupo experimental), frente al otro que no tiene esa experiencia (grupo de control). Se ha estudiado la localidad de Portomarín (Lugo), anegada en 1963 por un embalse, reconstruida con traslado de algunas arquitecturas y obligada a revisar su historia local y su identificación patrimonial. Se han utilizado métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos para analizar cambios de percepciones y diferencias discursivas entre quienes tuvieron contacto con el escenario de referencia y los que no. Los resultados parecen confirmar que la aproximación a un contexto problemático desarrolla la capacidad de empatía y argumentación crítica del futuro docente, y modifica su consideración sobre cómo enfocar su práctica profesional. Formal heritage education does not usually incorporate people’s experiences. Coming into contact with a community which lives in continual conflict with its own heritage offers a different perspective of that legacy. In order to verify this, a study was carried out with a group of trainee primary education teachers. Two subgroups were formed, one of which (the experimental group) was immersed in a place with an uncomfortable heritage issue in order to ascertain whether their perceptions were modified in comparison to the other group (the control group), which did not have this experience. The study was carried out in the town of Portomarín (Lugo), which was flooded in 1969 due to the construction of a dam and rebuilt on higher ground with some buildings being transferred brick by brick. As part of this process, the residents of the town were forced to revise their local history and their identification with their own heritage. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to analyse changes in perceptions and differences in discourse between those who came into contact with the area in question and those who did not. The results appear to confirm that contact with a problematic context develops the capacity for empathy and critical argumentation of trainee teachers and modifies their idea of how to approach the practice of their profession.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a one-session-per-week stretching program on hamstring extensibility among schoolchildren in the physical education (PE) setting. Thirty seven 9-year-old schoolchildren from two classes were clustered and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=19) or a control group (n=18). During PE classes, the experimental students performed a 3-minute stretching program once a week for the whole academic year (a total of 32 calendar weeks, but 28 weeks of intervention after excluding holidays). Hamstring extensibility (estimated by the classic sit-and-reach test) was assessed at the beginning (week 0), in the middle (week 18) and at the end (week 34) of the stretching intervention program. The results of the two-way analysis of variance showed that the PE-based stretching program improved statistically significantly the students’ sit-and-reach scores in the middle and at the end of the intervention (p<.01). Since in PE many curricular contents need to be developed each academic year and the subject is also restricted by its limited curriculum time allocation, teachers could improve students’ hamstring extensibility by only a one-session-per-week stretching program. Therefore, in addition to the improvement of students’ flexibility levels, this intervention program might permit regular development of other PE curricular contents. This knowledge could help and guide teachers to design programs that guarantee a feasible and effective development of flexibility in the PE setting.

Se examinó la repercusión de la novedosa Liga Brave (2015) sobre las orientaciones de meta, el fair play, el esfuerzo, y la presión-tensión en 92 estudiantes de 2 colegios (grupo control: n = 45; grupo experimental: n = 47) con una media de edad de 10,38 años (DE =0,55). Durante 3 sesiones, el grupo control participó en una liga de fútbol sala tradicional, mientras que el grupo experimental participó en un sistema competitivo basado en el innovador formato de la Liga Brave (2015), donde las conductas de fair play determinan el orden en la clasificación. Se realizaron varias pruebas de contrastes de medias intra-sujetos, cuyos resultados reflejaron que el grupo experimental aumentó significativamente en la orientación a la tarea y en el esfuerzo percibido. Estos resultados sugieren que formatos competitivos como el que se propone podrían repercutir positivamente en la orientación a la tarea y en el esfuerzo durante las competiciones deportivas. This research analyzed the Brave League (2015) effects on the goal orientation, the fair play, the effort and the pressure-tension on 92 pupils from two state schools (control group: n = 45 and experimental group: n = 47) with an age average of 10.38 years (SD = 0.55). The Intervention program was applied to both groups in 3 sessions of one hour; the control group created an indoor football league, whereas the experimental group continued to elaborate a competitive system based on the Brave League (2015) format, where the conducts of fair play establish the order in the classification. Several contrast tests were taken of the subject average, which results showed that the trial group increased the orientation towards the task) and the perceived effort. These results infer that the competitive formats like the proposed could affect positively the orientation towards the task and the effort throughout the sports competitions.

Recognizing that students benefit when they receive autonomy-supportive teaching, the current study tested the parallel hypothesis that teachers themselves would benefit from giving autonomy support. Twenty-seven elementary, middle, and high school physical education teachers (20 males, 7 females) were randomly assigned either to participate in an autonomy-supportive intervention program (experimental group) or to teach their physical education course with their existing style (control group) within a three-wave longitudinal research design. Manipulation checks showed that the intervention was successful, as students perceived and raters scored teachers in the experimental group as displaying a more autonomy-supportive and less controlling motivating style. In the main analyses, ANCOVA-based repeated-measures analyses showed large and consistent benefits for teachers in the experimental group, including greater teaching motivation (psychological need satisfaction, autonomous motivation, and intrinsic goals), teaching skill (teaching efficacy), and teaching well-being (vitality, job satisfaction, and lesser emotional and physical exhaustion). These findings show that giving autonomy support benefits teachers in much the same way that receiving it benefits their students.

La sociedad nos invita a mejorar constantemente nuestra forma de interaccionar con ella y la mejora en los procesos de comunicación, factor esencial en el desarrollo de la profesión del docente, ello nos obliga a reflexionar sobre los componentes de la competencia comunicativa y el dominio de la misma. El presente trabajo forma parte de una amplia investigación que analiza la formación sobre nuevas tecnologías que posee el alumnado del Grado de Maestro de Educación Primaria en tres universidades españolas (Granada, Jaén y Oviedo).  El estudio se centra en una muestra de 380 estudiantes del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria (en las universidades citadas). Se realiza un estudio descriptivo y cuasi-experimental, pretest-postest con grupo control no equivalente. Se evidencian deficiencias iniciales en los grupos control y experimental en situación pretest en la formación del estudiante en los niveles previos a los estudios universitarios con respecto a la competencia comunicativa, que mejoran con la aplicación del programa “Affective e-Learning+” al grupo experimental. Los estudiantes del grupo experimental manifiestan que el programa ha mejorado su interacción con los estudiantes de la otra universidad; que han compartido experiencias y el programa en línea les ha facilitado el aprendizaje de temas importantes para su formación, pudiendo utilizar tiempos y espacios que no han interrumpido su ritmo de estudio, tras la aplicación del programa en línea “Affective e-learning+” en los diferentes criterios de las subcompetencias Sociolingüística, Morfosintáctica, Pragmática y Ortográfica y registro lingüístico, que integran la competencia comunicativa The society encourages a constant improvement in how we interact with it as well as in the improvement of communication processes, a key factor in the development of the teaching profession. As a result, we have to think about the components of communicative competence and its knowledge. This research is part of an extensive research project that analyzes the training on new technologies that the Primary Education Teacher Degree students have at three Spanish universities (Granada, Jaén and Oviedo). The study focuses on a sample of 380 students of the Primary Education Teacher Degree (in the universities involved in the study). A descriptive and quasi-experimental, pretest-postest study is carried out with a non-equivalent control group. Initial deficiencies are evident in the control and experimental groups in pre-test situation in the student's pre-university training levels with respect to communicative competence, which improve through the application of the “Affective e-Learning+" programme in the experimental group. The students of the experimental group state that the program has improved their interaction with other university students; they have shared experiences and the online program has facilitated the learning of important subjects for their training, using times and spaces that have not interrupted their learning process. After the application of the online program "Affective e-learning+" in different criteria of Sociolinguistics, Morphosyntactics, Pragmatics and Orthographic sub-competences and Linguistic Registry, which integrate the communicative competence.

In a recent manuscript published in International Journal of Sport Psychology, entitled “Effects of a brief one-day autonomy-supportive intervention on improving basic psychological needs, motivation, and behaviours of physical activity among middle-school students: A multidimensional approach”, we reported that a one-day eight-hour Autonomy-Supportive Intervention Program for Physical Education (ASIP-PE) was effective (Tilga et al., in press) in changing students’ perceptions of their physical education (PE) teachers’ cognitive and procedural autonomy support at a one-month follow-up, compared to control group students. After the intervention, a significant increase was also found in the experimental group students’ need satisfaction for autonomy and competence. Also, a significant decrease was found in experimental group students’ perceptions of their PE teachers’ intimidation and negative conditional regard, and in students’ need frustration for autonomy. This letter is to briefly convey additional data regarding the long-term benefits of ASIP-PE now that we have been able to conduct one-year follow-up analyses.

La presente investigación pretendió analizar los efectos del uso del blog educativo (i.e. Edublog) sobre la coeducación, compromiso con esta herramienta digital, calificación e intención de ser físicamente activo en clase de educación física en educación primaria. El estudio corresponde con un diseño cuasi-experimental, usando un grupo control, a priori, no equivalente y, un grupo experimental para una muestra total de 40 estudiantes de educación primaria (50.50% chicas; Medad = 10.55, DTedad = .51). Se tomaron medidas acerca del conocimiento de equidad y calificación al final del programa de intervención, medidas sobre la implicación con el Edublog durante todo el programa, mientras que la intención de ser físicamente activo se evaluó al inicio y al final del programa. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de conocimiento de equidad, implicación con el Edublog y calificación a favor del grupo experimental. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de intención de ser físicamente activo entre ambos grupos. A modo de conclusión, el Edublog puede ser un recurso didáctico tenido en cuenta por el profesorado a la hora de mejorar las experiencias educativas del alumnado de educación primaria cuando participa en educación física.AbstractThis research aimed at examining the effects of the usage of the educational blog (or Edublog) on coeducation, commitment to this digital tool, grades and intention to be physically active in Physical Education lessons in Primary school. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with, a priori, a non-equivalent control group and an experimental group for a total of 40 primary school students (50.50% girls; Mage = 10.55, SDage = .51). Measures on knowledge of equity and grades were taken at the end of the intervention programme, measures on a commitment to Edublog were collected throughout the programme, while the intention to be physically active were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of knowledge of equity, the commitment of Edublog and grades a favour of the experimental group. There was a nonsignificant difference in the level of intention to be physically active among both groups. In conclusion, Edublog can be a learning recourse to be considered by teachers in improving primary school students’ educational experiences when they participate in Physical Education.

  El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar los beneficios de una intervención educativa de gamificación en la mejora de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, como uno de los ítems de los hábitos saludables. Se empleó un diseño cuasiexperimental de dos grupos, grupo experimental (GE) y un grupo control (GC) con medidas pretest y postest (tras las cinco semanas de duración de la propuesta). Participaron 38 estudiantes de primer ciclo de educación primaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 6 y los 7 años, pertenecientes a dos colegios distintos de Galicia. Se realizó una estadística descriptiva y se analizó la distribución de los datos con la prueba Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Para comprobar la existencia o no de diferencias significativas entre las variables dependientes de ambos grupos (experimental y control) se realizó una prueba t-Student para muestras independientes con el objetivo de comparar la variable de adherencia pre intervención y post intervención. Al término de la intervención los resultados, a pesar de no ser significativos, muestran una mejora en cuanto a la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en el grupo experimental (aumentando en 1,1 puntos) así como un mayor porcentaje de adherencia alta en el grupo experimental (64,7%) después de la intervención que en el grupo control (61,9%). En conclusión, el conocimiento generado en la presente investigación hace posible la comprensión y el acercamiento en mayor profundidad a los niveles de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea y como una intervención de gamificación puede contribuir a mejorar los resultados. Todo ello habrá de ser utilizado por los docentes de educación primaria para la planificación, diseño y desarrollo de su docencia.  Abstract: The objective of this research was to evaluate the benefits of an educational gamification intervention in improving adherence to the Mediterranean diet, as one of the items of healthy habits. A quasi-experimental design of two groups, experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG) with pre-test and post-test measures (after the five-week duration of the proposal) participated. 38 students of the fist cycle of primary education, aged between 6 and 7 years old, belonging to two different schools in Galicia. Descriptive statistics were performed and the distribution of the data was analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To verify the existence or not of significant differences between the dependent variables comparison of both groups (experimental and control), a t-student test was performed for independent samples in order to compare the pre-intervention and post-intervention adherence variable. At the end of the improvement in terms of adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the experimental group (increasing by 1.1 points), as well as higher percentage of high adherence in the experimental group (64,7%) after the intervention than in the control group (61,9%). In conclusion, the knowledge generated in the present research makes it possible to understand and approach in greater depth what is a level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet and how a gamification intervention can contribute to improving results. All of this will have to be used by primary education teachers for the planning, design and development of their teaching.
