La población migrante constituye una parte importante de nuestra realidad social y escolar. Para favorecer su integración en el sistema educativo, es preciso conocer sus hábitos de vida. El objetivo del estudio fue analizarlos y compararlos con los de sus pares españoles. Se seleccionó una muestra representativa de alumnos de sexto de Educación Primaria de Logroño (La Rioja), obteniendo un total de 329 escolares de los 31 centros de la ciudad. Se les administraron cuestionarios de actividad física (PAQ-C), adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (KIDMED), características demográficas y hábitos de vida. También se valoró su composición corporal y condición física.  El alumnado migrante tenía un nivel socioeconómico y cultural más bajo, además de una menor asistencia al comedor y menor práctica de actividad deportiva organizada. A pesar de esto último, no hubo diferencias en los niveles de actividad física o en la capacidad aeróbica. Por otro lado, reportaron una menor adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, sin embargo, no hubo diferencias en la composición corporal. Por último, pasaban más horas frente a la pantalla y dormían menos por la noche, variables que podrían estar relacionadas. Las intervenciones sanitarias y educativas deberían valorar estos resultados para favorecer la plena inclusión de la población migrante.AbstractThe immigrant population constitutes an important part of society in both social and educational contexts. In order to assist in the integration of migrants into the education system, it is crucial to understand their lifestyle habits. The objective of the present study was to analyze and compare lifestyle habits between migrants and their Spanish counterparts. A representative sample of 329 students attending the sixth year of primary school was recruited from 31 educational centers in the city of Logroño (La Rioja). Participants self-reported their physical activity (PAQ-C), adherence to the Mediterranean diet (KIDMED), demographic characteristics and lifestyle habits. Data for body composition and physical condition were also collected. Students from an immigrant background reported a lower socioeconomic status and cultural status, besides in reduced attendance to school dining rooms and reduce their engagement in physical activity. With regards to physical activity, there were no differences between Spanish national or migrant students in levels of physical activity or in aerobic capacity. On the other hand, migrant students did report a lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Despite this finding, no differences in body composition were reported. Finally, immigrant students reported a higher screen time and slept fewer hours per night, outcomes which could be intrinsically related. The findings of the present research have implications for the development of health and/or educative interventions for the complete integration of the immigrant population.

El maestro es una figura clave en el aprendizaje y perfeccionamiento de la inteligencia emocional (IE) en educación superior, no obstante, hasta el momento existen pocos trabajos empíricos que identifiquen acciones específicas para su fomento en el aula. Por lo anterior, el objetivo de esta investigación es indagar en las prácticas que los docentes de educación superior emplean, dentro de los salones de clase, para desarrollar la IE de los estudiantes. Con la finalidad de cumplir con dicho propósito se estructuraron cinco grupos focales, en dónde participaron 31 alumnos próximos a finalizar la licenciatura en psicología en la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, cuyas respuestas fueron analizadas mediante la propuesta de Strauss y Corbin (2002) para el desarrollo de teoría fundamentada. Los resultados arrojan que: demostrar pasión; generar climas positivos en el aula; planificar y aplicar actividades específicas; demostra empatía; y ser ejemplo en el manejo y expresión de las emociones son clave para la promoción de la IE. Por lo anterior se concluye que para fomentar ésta habilidad en los estudiantes universitarios el docente tiene que contar con numerosas capacidades emocionales, sociales y cognitivas.AbstractThe teacher is a key figure in the learning and improvement of emotional intelligence (EI) in higher education; however, there are few empirical studies that identify specific actions for the promotion of the ability in the classroom. Therefore, the aim of this research is to inquire the practices that higher education teachers use for the development of EI in their students. To fulfilling this purpose, five focus groups were structured with 31 students next to finish the psychology degree, in the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, whose answers were analyzed by the proposal of Strauss & Corbin (2002) to develop grounded theory. The results show that: demonstrate passion; generate positive climates in the classroom; plan and implement specific activities; generate empathy; and being an example in the management and expression of emotions are fundamental to the development of EI. Therefore, it is concluded that in order to promote EI in university students, the teacher must have numerous emotional, social and cognitive abilities.

El objetivo principal de este estudio es conocer la percepción de los docentes de música de Educación Secundaria acerca del uso del libro de texto. A tal fin, se ha optado por una metodología de estudio de caso, cuya muestra está formada por cinco profesores de diferentes centros educativos de la Región de Murcia. Para la recogida de datos se ha diseñado una entrevista estructurada en cuatro secciones que aporta información sobre los datos personales, aspectos organizativo-didácticos, práctica docente e ideología. Tras la realización de un análisis descriptivo de los datos, los resultados revelan que la búsqueda de orientación y recursos es una de las principales razones por las que el profesorado opta por el uso del libro de texto. Por el contrario, la flexibilidad y la libertad de planificación son los argumentos esgrimidos por los docentes que no utilizan este recurso. Todos los profesores participantes consideran que las editoriales cuando diseñan sus materiales anteponen criterios de facturación a criterios pedagógicos. Asimismo, coinciden en que el futuro del libro de texto es incierto y auguran su desaparición a medio plazo.AbstractThis study main purpose is to know the music secondary teacher’s perception about using or not a textbook. With this goal a methodology of study cases is used, the sample is taken from five music teachers of different schools from Murcia. To recover database, a four-part interview was designed, providing some information about personal subjects, didactics organization, teaching practice, thinking and context. After analysing the database recollected, the evidence is searching orientation and didactic resources is the primary reason for textbook teacher’s user. On the other hand, non-user textbook teachers consider flexibility and freedom of planning as an advantage. All participant teachers take into account that publishing houses are more concerned about billing criteria than pedagogical aspects. Therefore, textbook’s future is uncertain, teachers even forecast its extinction.

Perhaps the greatest barriers to achieving major advances in public health in the twenty-first century result from the paralysis of the pandemic paradigm or from the widespread inability to envision alternative or new models of thought. Human movement represents a complex behavior that is influenced by personal motivation, health and mobility problems, genetic factors, and the social and physical environments in which people live. These factors exert an influence on the propensity to engage in sedentary behaviors as well as physical activity. However, the biological, social and environmental pathways leading to sedentary behavior versus physical activity may be different. In addition, the health effects associated with sedentary behavior and physical activity may be the result of different biological mechanisms. Thus, our objective was to discuss the importance of physical exercise for health and the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. Research on sedentary behavior has been growing; however, the evidence for its determinants is relatively sparse. More studies are needed to obtain more conclusive results, because it is fundamental to understand these complex relationships related to the practice and the acquisition of active and healthy lifestyles as opposed to a sedentary lifestyle.

The objective of the present work will be to analyze the academic, personal and environmental differences of the students belonging to the states of Baja California and Nuevo León (Mexico) and of the Autonomous Community (CCAA) of Andalucía (Spain). The sample design will be probabilistic by centers, stratified, multi-stage, by proportional affixation, taking into account that the sample will be selected from two States of Mexico (Nuevo León and Baja California) and the Autonomous Community of Andalucía (Spain). Secondary education centers that will participate in the research project will be selected in a simple random manner. The instrument to be used will be a questionnaire composed of scales: Raven Progressive Matrices Test, Academic Performance, Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24), Rosenberg Global Self-Esteem Scale (EAG), Physical Education Classroom Instrument (PECI), Satisfaction with life (SATV), Satisfaction with school (SATD), Intrinsic satisfaction with the subjects (SIM) and Levels of physical activity in free time. In this article we present the design of the research. We believe that the findings of this research will have a great impact on the educational systems of both countries. The findings of the study will be disseminated through scientific impact journals and presentations at international conferences.

In the past times, we have assisted to a transformation of social, political, economic and cultural order that let us feel their influence in the educational institutions. From being a limited place exclusively to the transmission of content, the school has become now a day in a place that must be part of our life’s. Before such a change of perspective, it is wonderful that such the family as the school have to redefine their functions. In coherence with the above, it makes it necessary to establish a dialog between the diverse social agents (school-family-society) in order to achieve a common goal: the integral development of the student. The main purpose of this investigation is to analyze the collaboration and implication of the families in the schools. Thus, we have supported in an interpretative paradigm of quantitative and qualitative cut, counting with a constituted sample by 268 families and 18 teachers belonging to two educational centers from the province of Málaga. One of the conclusions which are derived from our study is that the communication and cooperation between two different agents that they establish the educational community is overriding to guarantee a quality education.

The main objective of this study was to analyze different psychological aspects (autonomy support, basic psychological needs, motivation and self-esteem) after an intervention process based on several teaching styles (lesson implementation by the teacher and the students with means of participatory teaching styles and cooperative work). A pre-post quasi-experimental research design was carried out with a control group and an experimental group. With the control group, the usual classroom dynamics (with the Physical Education teacher) were maintained, and with the experimental group the students (with the supervision of the teacher) taught the lessons. Results showed that the experimental group experienced a decline in autonomy support of the teacher and an improvement in the sense of relatedness, self-esteem, and external regulation (which declined). The greater involvement of the students in their teaching-learning process improved the different psychological aspects studied.

The present study arises as a result of the experience as an instrumentalist of wind, which has led to taking awareness of the various issues that are common to the instrumentalists of this family; Although, in particular, has started from the observation of the saxophonists. Proper work of the diaphragmatic breathing technique in the instrumental classroom, reassured nervous system, will facilitate communication between the cerebral hemispheres and balance the power of the musician; work, which will be enhanced through the application of different breathing techniques during the process of respiratory learning in class. This article shows an exploratory study about the main problems afflicting musicians and forms of address it from the classroom of saxophone following teachers; Thus, is has been found that educational level, the bibliographic shortage is justified by the lack of didactic importance given in the classroom.

The current socio-political scenario indicates almost without detractors that administrative, fiscal and political decentralization is not only desirable but also possible in our country. While progress has been made in the political dimension of the process by being, for example, in the possession of popularly elected regional mayors in Chile, progress has been made more slowly in matters of actual transfer of competences from the national to the subnational governments, and still to a lesser degree in terms of fiscal decentralization, especially with regard to key axes for regional development, such as territorial planning. The hypothesis of this work is that the problem of communal decision-making autonomy over land-use planning is somewhat relegated to the Chilean public agenda and that there is no solid institutional framework to support it. This article aims to show, from an analysis of the case of environmental assessment, the persistent problem of administrative, political and fiscal tutelage that still exists in Chile on territorial decentralization processes that threaten the beginning of sustainable development policies in contexts of communal governance.

The objective of this article is to identify, from a theoretical and bibliographic, review the evolution of conceptual approaches to governance with territorial perspective, through the exploration of different authors and official institutions who have addressed the issue from different shades. This exploration is organized in five sections, the first is synthesized the emergence of governance, highlighting the Anglo-Saxon notion and the prospect of international agencies; in the second are over-emphasised sheds and theoretical approaches of governance related to the new public management, addressing the multilevel conception, democratic, territorial and urban integrated. A third section discusses governance as an instrument of territorial convergence, its characteristics and principles, to subsequently in a fourth subparagraph expose the relationship between governance, governance and the Government, highlighting the social participation as key actors immersed in the urban system Assembly. Finally, in the fifth section it presents the link between the urban management and public action, synthesizing trends and approaches to urban development. Based on the conclusions established the conceptual similarities between the territorial governance and metropolitan governance integrated, as a contribution to facilitate the debate in future research works.
