RESUMENDurante los últimos años se ha visto confirmada la importancia de las variables emocionales y de bienestar para un correcto desarrollo académico y personal del alumnado. Por este motivo ha existido un auge en las intervenciones y programas que trabajan estas variables. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer la diferencia existente entre las variables emocionales y de bienestar en alumnado de primaria y de secundaria después de haber participado en los programas de Educación Emocional Happy 8-12 y Happy 12-16 durante un curso escolar. Para el desarrollo del estudio se contó con la participación de un total de 574 alumnos de educación primaria y otros 903 de educación secundaria. El diseño de la investigación fue cuasiexperimental, pretest, postest con grupo control. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron los siguientes: CDE, CDE-SEC, STAIC, STAI y la media de las notas académicas. En cuanto a los resultados, se realizó un análisis de la varianza (ANOVA) con un factor intersujetos y un factor intrasujetos para cada una de las muestras. Se detectó una mejora en las escalas de competencias emocionales y ansiedad en las dos muestras, especialmente en primaria. También existió una importante mejoría en el rendimiento académico. Así pues, los resultados del presente estudio demuestran que el entrenamiento de las competencias emocionales en educación primaria mejora las competencias emocionales, disminuye la ansiedad y potencia el rendimiento académico, resultados que no se manifiestan de manera tan significativa en educación secundaria, aunque sí que muestran una tendencia muy parecida.ABSTRACTDuring the last years it has been confirmed that emotional and well-being variables are of the uppermost importance for a proper academic and personal development of the students. Thus, there has been an important growth of interventions and programs that train this variables. The aim of the present research is to explore the differences among emotional and well-being variables in primary and secondary education students after undergoing the Happy 8-12 and the Happy 12-16 programs during an academic course. For the development of the study a total of 574 primary education students and 903 of secondary education participated in the study. The investigation followed a pre-post quasi-experimental design with a control group. The instruments that were used for the assessment included: CDE, CDE-SEC, STAIC, STAI and the average of the academic marks. Regarding the results, an analysis of covariance (ANOVA) with an intersubject factor and intrasubject factor was carried out for each one of the samples. An improvement in emotional scales and anxiety was found for the two samples, especially in the primary school sample. There was also an important improvement in the academic achievement. All in all results of the present study showed that the training of the emotional competences in primary education improves the emotional competences, reduces anxiety and enhances academic achievement. These results are not that prominent in secondary education, but they show a similar pattern.

El modelo TRIAL Classroom se concibió para generar, en el aula, experiencias de aprendizaje auténticas y se gestó a partir de la hibridación de tres modelos de enseñanza: Educación Deportiva, Aprendizaje Cooperativo y Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos. Hasta la fecha, se han encontrado trabajos que evidencian resultados positivos en términos competenciales y en los diferentes objetivos que definen el modelo. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de estudios que profundicen en establecer las conexiones autorreguladas que se producen al aplicar TRIAL Classroom ni existe una comparativa con la metodología tradicional. El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido analizar la autorregulación del alumnado cuando participa en la implementación del modelo TRIAL Classroom frente a la metodología tradicional. Para recoger datos con el fin de analizarlos y dar respuesta al objetivo propuesto se administró un cuestionario antes del inicio de la experiencia y al finalizar la misma. En la experiencia participaron 61 estudiantes matriculados en tres clases pertenecientes a dos centros escolares de la Región de Murcia de cuarto de educación primaria. Dos clases implementaron el modelo TRIAL Classroom y la otra (grupo control) implementó la metodología tradicional. Los resultados indicaron diferencias significativas en las diferentes subescalas a favor del modelo TRIAL Classroom.AbstractThe TRIAL Classroom model was conceived to generate authentic learning experiences in the classroom and was designed based on the hybridization of three teaching models: Sports Education, Cooperative Learning and Project Based Learning. To date, works have been found that show positive results in terms of competence and in the different objectives that define the model. However, there is no evidence of studies that deepen in establishing the self-regulated connections that occur when implementing TRIAL Classroom nor there is a comparison with the traditional methodology. The objective of this study has been to analyze the students' self-regulation when participating in the implementation of the TRIAL Classroom model against the traditional methodology. In order to collect data in order to analyze them and respond to the proposed objective, a questionnaire was administered before the beginning of the experience and at the end of it. The experience involved 61 students enrolled in three classes belonging to two schools in the Murcia Region of primary education room. Two classes implemented the TRIAL Classroom model and the other (control group) implemented the traditional methodology. The results indicated significant differences in the different subscales in favor of the TRIAL Classroom model.

A four part investigation of death orientation in college students using the provided-construct form of the Threat Index and the Death Concern Scale was conducted. Part I investigated the construct validity of the Threat Index, reporting significant predicted correlations of the Threat Index with the Death Concern Scale, Trait Anxiety Scale, and Repression-Sensitization Scale. Part II explored death orientation and personality differences between a Thanatology Group (death education students) and a Control Group. Thanatology students reported significantly lesser death threat and significantly greater death concerns than controls. Part III compared pre-test to post-test changes in death threat and death concerns for the Thanatology Group with pre-post changes for the Control Group. Using analysis of covariance procedures, a significantly greater decline in death threat was obtained in the Thanatology Group relative to the controls. Part IV explored two personality variables–trait anxiety and repression-sensitization–as moderators of change in death orientation in the Thantology Group. Trait anxiety was found to be a significant predictor of change in death threat in the Thanatology Group, with lesser anxiety associated with greater decline in death threat.

This paper analyzes the relationship between homework behavior and academic achievement using a sample of students from the last three years of primary education. The variables associated with student involvement in homework were the <em>amount of homework completed</em>, <em>the time spent on</em><em> homework,</em> and <em>homework time optimization</em>, while <em>academic achievement</em> was estimated based on the grades in mathematics and foreign language (english). The possible effect of the course and gender when calculating the level of predictive variables concerning the homework on academic achievement was analyzed. The results indicated that the amount of homework done and the optimization of the time dedicated at homework significantly and positively predicted academic performance in both subjects.  However, the amount of time spent on homework was not relevant. Finally, while gender was not statistically significant in predicting academic achievement, the course itself was statistically significant: as the course advances the mathematics achievement tends to diminish.

This study presents the development and validation of a scale for Primary Education students that measures social well-being. A seven-factor structure was defined, with the factors being: achievement, cooperation, cohesion, coexistence, attitude towards school, attitude towards diversity and solidarity. 14 experts from independent European universities participated in the validation process of the scale. The 38-item scale showed considerable reliability (Cronbach’s alpha =0.91). The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original seven-factor structure with consistent goodness and badness of fit indexes. The promising results in this study suggest that this scale may be suitable for an international audience.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comprobar las diferencias existentes entre el alumnado de Educación Primaria y Educación Secundaria en la motivación, las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la responsabilidad, el clima de aula, las conductas prosociales y antisociales y la violencia. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 397 alumnos a los cuales se administró una serie de cuestionarios validados con el fin de comparar los resultados contando con tres centros de características sociodemográficas similares. La edad media de los participantes fue de 11.24 años (DE = 1.74) siendo 288 alumnos de Primaria y 109 de Secundaria. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p < .01) en la motivación más autodeterminada, la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, el clima de aula y la responsabilidad a favor del grupo de Primaria, encontrando valores superiores (p < .01) en la violencia y las conductas antisociales en el grupo de Secundaria. Se concluye que la etapa de Primaria, supone un punto de inflexión de cara a los diferentes comportamientos que se desarrollan en Secundaria, por lo que es necesario incentivar programas e iniciativas que sirvan para mantener estos aspectos y que no se reduzcan en la etapa de Secundaria.AbstractThe purpose of this study was to verify the differences between Primary and Secondary Education students in motivation, basic psychological needs, responsibility, classroom climate, prosocial and antisocial behaviors, and violence. To do this, a sample of 397 students were administered to whom a series of validated clients was administered in order to compare the results with three centers with similar sociodemographic characteristics. The average age of the participants was 11.24 years (SD = 1.74), with 288 Primary students and 109 Secondary or basic FP. The results obtained statistically significant differences (p < .01) in the most self-determined motivation, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, classroom climate, and responsibility in favor of the Primary group, finding higher values (p < .01) in Violence and antisocial behaviors in the high school group. It is concluded that the primary stage is a turning point in the face of the different behaviors that develop in secondary school, so it is necessary to encourage programs and initiatives that serve to maintain these aspects and that are not reduced in the secondary stage.

The financial and health burdens of stress associated with increased urbanization have led to a demand for mental health enhancement strategies. While some extant literature details mental health benefits of community gardening, a coherent narrative on the construct of resilience and its relationship with the mental health benefits of community gardening is lacking. The present study examined the relationship between community gardening and a number of mental health benefits, in the forms of subjective well-being, stress, resilience potentials, and resilience factors (self-esteem, optimism, and openness). A total of 111 residents in Singapore completed a survey. Results from Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) and Pearson’s correlation analyses show that, after controlling for age and levels of connection to nature, community gardeners reported significantly higher levels of subjective well-being than individual/home gardeners and non-gardeners, indicating that engagement in community gardening may be superior to individual/home gardening or non-gardening outdoor activities. Community gardeners reported higher levels of resilience and optimism than the non-gardening control group. These novel results indicate some potential for mental health benefits in urban environments, specifically in terms of subjective well-being and resilience. These findings have implications for future research in clinical psychology, mental health promotion, and policy.

Abstract School burnout symptoms are prevalent among upper secondary education students, but thus far, very little is known about the background of these symptoms. The present study examined the extent to which school burnout symptoms (i.e., exhaustion and cynicism) among upper secondary education students have their roots in primary and lower secondary school and whether early antecedents of school burnout symptoms could be identified. The sample consisted of 1544 Finnish students followed up four times (Time1–Time 4) from the end of primary school (T1; mean age 12.74 and range 11.71–14.20) to the first year of upper secondary education (T4; mean age 16.66 and range 15.55–18.39). The results of latent growth curve modeling showed that school burnout symptoms in upper secondary education were predicted by the level of school burnout symptoms at the end of primary school and by an increase in these symptoms across the transition from primary school through lower secondary school. In addition, psychological well-being, academic skills, and gender were found to contribute to the prediction of school burnout symptoms. Overall, the present study suggest that potential warning signs of school burnout should not be ignored and attention should be directed to earlier education phases.
