Consejo técnico escolar: participación virtual de los docentes de educación física de una zona escolar de Chihuahua durante la pandemia / School technical council: virtual participation of physical education teachers in a school zone in Chihuahua during the pandemic

Este estudio se enfocó en los trabajos del Consejo Técnico Escolar para explorar e identificar las temáticas, organización e interacción de los docentes de Educación Física y el posible regreso a clases. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo exploratorio con una iniciativa didáctica de micro investigación, participando 15 maestros de una zona escolar, respondiendo una encuesta de opinión. En cuanto a las formas de intervención en la educación a distancia entre los docentes mujeres y hombres, se encontraron diferencias con relación a los recursos tecnológicos y materiales apropiados (p < .025). En el manejo de las emociones de los docentes se observaron diferencias significativas en las mujeres (p < 0.028). La educación a distancia y los programas de mejora son los principales temas abordados, seguidos de la educación socioemocional y evaluación, para lo cual han tenido que desarrollar estrategias de enseñanza aprendizaje de forma remota. Se concluye que se han logrado pocos aprendizajes en la educación virtual.

This study focused on the works carried out by the School Technical Council to explore and identify the themes, organization and interaction of Physical Education teachers and their possible return to classes. An exploratory descriptive study was performed, with didactic micro-research initiative. An opinion survey was answered by 15 teachers from a school district. Regarding the forms of intervention in remote education among female and male teachers, differences were found relating to technological resources and appropriate equipment (p < .025). In regard to teachers' emotional management, there were significant differences observed in women (p < 0.028). The main topics addressed were remote education and improvement programs, followed by socioemotional education and evaluation, for which they had to develop specific strategies for remote teaching and accomplish some learning goals in remote and virtual learning.

Formação em educação física no contexto de saúde pública nos melhores cursos do Brasil / The formation of physical education in public health in the best courses in Brazil

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi revisar projetos pedagógicos (PP) para identificar a formação do profissional de Educação Física (PEF) (Bacharelado) no contexto de Saúde Pública nos melhores cursos do Brasil. Foram selecionados os 10 melhores cursos de graduação em EF ranqueados em dois sistemas de avaliações nacionais (Exame Nacional de Desempenho na Educação e Ranking Universitário Folha) e as 10 melhores Universidades num ranking internacional (QS World University Rankings). Mediante revisão rápida foram extraídas informações dos PPs de 18 cursos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Trinta e seis disciplinas no contexto de Saúde Pública foram localizadas nas grades curriculares. Em relação a carga horária média menos de 1% da grade eletiva dos cursos era dedicada a disciplinas sobre Saúde Pública. O estudo revelou um cenário de formação de Bacharéis em EF distante do crescimento que a área demonstrou no campo da Saúde Pública nos últimos anos. É importante que os cursos de graduação em EF considerem uma formação específica no contexto da Saúde Pública, de modo a favorecer a consolidação da atuação do PEF e a qualidade do seu serviço na Atenção Primária à Saúde.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to review pedagogical projects (PP) to identify the formation of the Physical Education professionals (PEF) in the context of Public Health in the best courses in Brazil. Methods: The 10 best PE undergraduate courses ranked in two national assessment systems were selected (National Education Performance Examination and Folha University Ranking) and the 10 best Universities in an international ranking (QS World University Rankings). Through a quick review, information was extracted from the PPs of 18 courses that met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-six subjects in the context of public health were located in the curricula. Regarding the average workload, less than 1% of the elective course schedule was dedicated to subjects on Public Health. The study revealed a scenario for the formation of Bachelors in PE far from the growth that the area has shown in the field of Public Health in recent years. It is important that PE undergraduate courses consider specific training in the context of Public Health, in order to favor the consolidation of the PEF's performance and the quality of its service in Primary Health Care.

Analysis of factors related to the H Index of CNPq scientific productivity researchers in the field of Physical Education in Brazil

Abstract Aim: To verify the association between sociodemographic, academic background, professional performance, bibliographic production and training of human resources factors with the H Index of CNPq scientific productivity researchers in the field of Physical Education. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 94 researchers with scientific productivity grants (PQ) in the field of Physical Education in Brazil distributed into academic prestige level: PQ 1A-1D (n = 41) and PQ 2 (n = 53). For this, the H Index of these researchers was analyzed in the Scopus database. Related factors were sociodemographic, academic background, professional performance, bibliographic production, and training of human resources (student supervisor). Simple and multiple linear regression was used with a 5% significance level. Results: The H Index, number of citations, number of scientific articles in the last 10 years, number of books in the last 10 years, and the training of students at graduate levels of PQ 1A-1D was higher than that of PQ 2 (p <0.05). The H Index of PQ 1A-1D scholarship researchers was directly related to the number of scientific articles [H index = 8.48 + 0.11 * (Articles)]. The H index of PQ 2 scholarship researchers was directly related to the number of scientific articles and academic books and, inversely to the student supervision at master level [H index = 15.19 + 0.06 * (Articles) + 2.45 * (Books) - 0.34 * (Masters)]. Conclusion: H Index of researchers in the field of Physical Education in Brazil varied according to the academic recognition level.

Relationship of Physical Education Curriculum Implementation and Mathematics Achievement in Chinese Youth.

PURPOSE: Previous studies indicated a positive association between physical education (PE) and mathematics achievement (MA). This study explored how PE curriculum implementation relates to MA using data from the China National Assessment of Education Quality (CNAEQ) in 2015, including Mathematics (CNAEQ-MA 2015) as well as Physical Education & Health (CNAEQ-PEH 2015). METHOD: This study included 22,619 students (48.7% girls) age 13.96 ± 0.64 yr. from the national sample of Grade 8 students from CNAEQ. During 2015, MA and cardiorespiratory fitness (CF) were assessed. PE curriculum implementation, personal hygiene, eating habits, PE interest, mathematics interest, and self-confidence were collected via a self-report student survey. Personal hygiene and eating habits were combined to create the latent variable, healthy lifestyle (HL). Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the associations. Socioeconomic status, school location, Body Mass Index (BMI), and sex were all controlled. RESULTS: PE curriculum implementation had an indirect, positive association with MA through CF, HL-mathematics interest, and HL-mathematics self-confidence. Together, the model explained 27.8% of the variance in MA. CONCLUSION: PE curriculum implementation may benefit mathematics education, and this link is mainly through HL, CF, mathematics interest, and self-confidence.

Associations Among Physical Education, Activity-Related Healthy Lifestyle Practices, and Cardiorespiratory Fitness of Chinese Youth.

PURPOSE: Physical education (PE) in school provides opportunities for physical activity (PA) engagement and reportedly results in improved health-related fitness. This study explored the underlying correlations between PE and activity-related healthy lifestyle practices with current level of cardiorespiratory fitness. METHODS: A total of 13,138 students age 14 (boys = 7,094, 54.0%) in Grade 8 from the China National Assessment of Educational Quality - Physical Education & Health 2015 were included in this study. Two independent structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses were conducted to obtained sex-specific results. Data included the results of the 15-m progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run (PACER) and questionnaire data regarding PE curriculum implementation, learning and practice, perceived support from PE teachers, PE facilities, PE equipment, activity-related healthy lifestyle practices, habitual physical fitness, appropriate method of physical fitness, and breakfast eating habits. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the associations between variables, controlling for socioeconomic status, the location of schools, and Body Mass Index. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and activity-related healthy lifestyle practices, which was somewhat positively impacted by skill learning and practice and perceived support from PE teachers. Together, the boy's model explained 21.8% of the variance in cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas the girl's model explained 15.9%. CONCLUSIONS: A well-organized PE program is related to students' activity-related healthy lifestyle practices, and consequently provides an improvement to cardiorespiratory fitness.

Case study of a health optimizing physical education-based comprehensive school physical activity program.

In this article, we report a qualitative case study, in which we examined enablers and barriers related to the development, implementation, and sustainability of a comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) aligned with the Health Optimizing Physical Education (HOPE) curriculum model at a middle school. Literature on program-diffusion and school-university partnerships guided data collection and analysis. Data sources included semi-structured interviews with the program implementation team (n = 9) and the school's health and physical education teachers (n = 7); a focus group interview with students; documents (e.g., lesson plans), and observations. Constant comparison techniques were used to code and draw out themes from the data. Findings revealed the extensive effort needed for program implementation and highlighted the importance of strong external support mechanisms, conducting needs assessments, and training teachers to market physical activity programming. Partnerships may provide critical support for schools in their efforts to generate and sustain CSPAPs.

School Health as a Strategy to Improve Both Public Health and Education.

Because schools materially influence both health and education, they substantially determine the future well-being and economic productivity of populations. Recent research suggests that healthier children learn better and that more educated adults are healthier. School health is a cross-disciplinary field of study and a fundamental strategy that can be used to improve both health and education outcomes. Modern school health programs include 10 interactive components: health education; physical education and physical activity; nutrition environment and services; health services; counseling, psychological, and social services; physical environment; social and emotional climate; family engagement; community involvement; and employee wellness. This review is written for both health and education audiences. It integrates recent research and developments in relationships among health, education, and economic outcomes; health and education systems; the school health program, its components, and their effectiveness; cross-disciplinary collaboration; local, state, national, and international infrastructures and strategies; implementation science; and relevant academic research, training, and service.

Health in the National Curricular Parameters: establishing relationships with Physical Education

Abstract Aim: The promulgation of the 1996 Education Guidelines and Bases Law promotes debate on the construction of National Curricular Parameters (NCPs) for Basic Education, emerging traditional disciplines and transversal themes. Considering the relevance of NCPs today, the objective of this research was to analyze NCPs related to health and to identify relationships between health and physical education in NCPs for Physical Education in Elementary and High School. Method: This is a documentary study that analyzed the respective documents. Paul Ricœur's hermeneutic approach was used for the interpretation of these documents. Discussion: In this section, it was identified that these documents recognize health as a right; present a dynamic conception of health and emphasize the importance of citizen education. However, the documents contradict each other by emphasizing a reduction of Physical Education to physical exercise, remodeling of habits, emphasized valorization of biological mechanisms, and contradictory facts to understand health dynamics. Conclusion: Finally, the conclusions emphasize the main points in each document, showing that there are advances but there are also divergences between them related to health issues and even setbacks. In addition, new investigations related to this theme are suggested.

Planejamento de ensino e Educação Física: uma revisão de literatura em periódicos nacionais / Planning teaching and Physical Education: a literature review in national journal / Planificación de la enseñanza y la Educación Física: una revisión de literatura en periódicos nacionales

Neste estudo qualitativo objetivamos investigar como a temática planejamento de ensino vem sendo tratada na produção científica da Área de Conhecimento da Educação Física (EF). Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura em periódicos nacionais de estrato A1 a B2 do Qualis CAPES para a "Área de Avaliação Educação Física", que compreendeu o período de 2001 até 2016. Foi possível inferir que os estudos são pautados por reflexões e problematizações que enfatizam a necessidade de planejar coletivamente, a importância de vincular o planejamento à proposta do Projeto Político-Pedagógico, a coerência entre o que se planeja e a visão de sociedade e de aluno que queremos, e ainda a possibilidade que o exercício de planejar oferece no sentido de respaldar a EF como importante componente curricular. Destacamos que o planejamento participativo, embora não seja uma temática nova, vem ganhando força nos estudos encontrados, sobretudo no que se refere à participação ativa dos alunos na sua construção.

This qualitative study aimed to investigate the theme of education planning has been treated in the scientific production of the Knowledge Area of Physical Education (PE). It was made a reviwe in national journals literature with stratum A1 to B2 of the Qualis CAPES to the "Physical Education Evaluation Area", which covered the period 2001 to 2016. It was possible to infer that the studies are guided by reflections and problematizations that emphasize the need to plan collectively, the importance of linking planning the proposal of the political-pedagogical project, coherence between what is planned and the company's vision and student we want, and the possibility that the exercise plan offers towards to support the EF as important curricular component. We highlight that participatory planning, although not a new theme, is gaining strength in the studies found, especially as regards the active participation of students in their construction.

Entrepreneurial intentions of Sport Sciences students And Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract This study tests Ajzen’s1 Theory of Planned Behavior in sport sciences with the purpose of determining which variables most influence students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Although this theory has been employed to explain entrepreneurial intentions within different contexts, the context of sport sciences has not been addressed. A sample of 379 sport sciences students were administered the Entrepreneurial Intentions Questionnaire and results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicate that both perceived attitudes and perceived behavior control have significant positive impacts on entrepreneurial intentions, while the impact of subjective norms is negative. Several suggestions to improve curriculum design and teaching in order to promote entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors are provided.(AU)

Study on Current Levels of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior among Middle School Students in Beijing, China.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine current levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior in middle school students on the basis of grade, sex, student attitudes toward physical education, and residence location. METHODS: In 2013, a cross-sectional study of 1793 students aged 12 to 15 years was conducted across eight middle schools in Beijing, China. Four schools were selected from an urban district and another four schools were from a suburban district. Physical activity and sedentary behavior data were collected using the commonly used school-based Chinese version of the China Health and Nutrition Survey. RESULTS: The mean age of sampled students was 13.3 ± 1.0 years; 51.5% were boys. Approximately 76.6% of students reported having three 45-minute physical education classes every week. A total of 35.6% students spent ≥ 1 h/day performing moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during school, and 34.9% spent ≥ 1 h/day in MVPA outside school time. Approximately half (49.7%) of the students engaged in reading, writing, or drawing for ≥ 2 h/day, and 42.9% reported screen time for ≥ 2 h/day. Although boys spent more time engaged in physical activity than girls did, they also spent more time exhibiting sedentary behavior. Each 10-unit increase in attitudes toward physical education was associated with an increased odds of 1.15 (95%CI: 1.09-1.20) for spending more than 1 h/day on MVPA. Students in suburban schools reported engaging in physical activity less when compared with those in urban schools. CONCLUSION: The majority of our students did not meet the current physical activity recommendations, and about half of the students spent excessive time engaging in sedentary behaviors. Findings from this study highlight a positive association between student attitudes toward physical education and physical activity. Studies are needed to further explore the role of student attitudes toward physical education in promoting physical activity among Chinese students.

Gestos de formação: experiências de integração ensino-serviço em saúde + arte literária / Gestures of training: experiences of service-learning health + literary art

Este trabalho, fruto de uma iniciativa de mestrado profissional, combinou pesquisa científica com arte literária, especialmente com o romance Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira, de José Saramago. O objetivo desta pesquisa: elaborar um ensaio baseado em um processo de argumentação para pensar a minha formação em saúde a partir de diferentes experiências. Para desenvolvê-lo, uso o seguinte argumento: as minhas experiências no Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde) são um diferencial na minha formação em Educação Física. Para demonstrar a validade desse argumento, levantei premissas e discorri sobre elas a fim de concluir esse processo de argumentação. São elas: (1) diversificação do cenário de ensino-aprendizagem; (2) aproximação de

estudantes com o ambiente de trabalho; (3) vivência interprofissional com vistas ao exercício da integralidade; (4) abertura para outros modos de pensar o corpo na formação em Educação Física. A propósito das experiências dos participantes da pesquisa, foi feito um encontro no qual conduzi duas atividades: narrativas individuais escritas e roda de conversa nos moldes de um grupo focal. Como resultado, apresento experiências de integração ensino-serviço de estudantes de Educação Física na atenção primária/atenção básica em saúde a partir do PET-Saúde no Projeto da USP-Capital, versão de 2010-2012. A partir delas, destacamos que houve mudanças nos modos de pensar e de operar as práticas de saúde, além de transformar o profissional a ponto de ele se interessar e defender o SUS como espaço de trabalho. É interessante enfatizar que as experiências produziram o que denomino gestos, movimentos que poderão inspirar ou instigar estudantes e profissionais da saúde na reflexão a respeito da formação.

This work results of a professional master's initiative and combined scientific research with literary art, especially the novel Blindness, by José Saramago. The objective of this research: developing a essay based on a argumentation process to think about my health trainig from different experiences. To develop it, using the following argument: my experiences in the Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde) are an difference in my Physical Education training. To demonstrate the validity of this argument, I raised premises and I discussed about them in order to complete this process of argument. They are: (1) diversification of service-learning scenario; (2) students approach with the work environment; (3) interprofessional experience with a view to the exercise of integrality; (4) openness to other ways of thinking the body in Physical Education training. The purpose of the experiences of research participants,

was made a meeting with two activities: written individual narratives and conversation circle like a focus group. As a result, presents experiences of service-learning of Physical Education students in primary care / primary health care from the PET-Saúde Project in the USP-Capital, version 2010-2012. From these, we point out that there have been changes in ways of thinking and operating health practices, beyond transform the professional at way of make him interested in defends the SUS as workspace. It is interesting to emphasize that the experiences have produced what I call gestures, movements that may inspire or instigate students and health professionals in reflection about the training.

Results from South Africa's 2014 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.

BACKGROUND: There is current concern for the health and well-being of children and youth in South Africa, including habits of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior. The 2014 Healthy Active Kids South Africa Report Card evaluates the current activity status of children and youth. METHODS: The Research Working Group was comprised of 23 experts in physical education, nutrition, sport science, public health and journalism. The search was based on a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature (previous 5 years), dissertations, and nonpeer-reviewed reports ('gray' literature) dealing with the PA and nutritional status of South African children and youth 6-18 years of age. Key indicators were identified and data extracted. Grades for each indicator were discussed and assigned. RESULTS: Overall PA levels received a D grade, as roughly 50% or more of children and youth were not meeting recommended levels. Organized sports participation fared better with a C, and government policies were promising, receiving a B. Screen time and sedentary behavior were a major concern and received a grade of F. Under- and over-weight were highlighted, but overweight is on the rise and this indicator was assigned a D grade. Most of the other indicators in South Africa remained the same or became worse so that grades declined from C- to D. In particular, sedentary behavior, soft-drink and fast food consumption, and an ineffectual regulatory environment to control advertising to children were a concern. There is need to engage parents and communities for advocacy and social mobilization.

Result of school-based intervention on cardiovascular risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of a two-year school-based intervention, consisting of integrated and replicable physical activity and nutritional education on weight, fat percentage, cardiovascular risk factors, and blood pressure. DESIGN AND SETTING: Six elementary schools in Reykjavik were randomly assigned to be either intervention (n = 3) or control (n = 3) schools. Seven-year-old children in the second grade in these schools were invited to participate (n = 321); 268 (83%) underwent some or all of the measurements. These 286 children were followed up for two years. INTERVENTION: Children in intervention schools participated in an integrated and replicable physical activity programme, increasing to approximately 60 minutes of physical activity during school in the second year of intervention. Furthermore, they received special information about nutrition, and parents, teachers, and school food service staff were all involved in the intervention. Subjects. 321seven-year-old schoolchildren. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Blood pressure, obesity, percentage of body fat, lipid profile, fasting insulin. RESULTS: Children in the intervention group had a 2.3 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and a 2.9 mmHg increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) over the two-year intervention period, while children in the control group increased SBP by 6.7 mmHg and DPB by 8.4 mmHg. These changes were not statistically significant. Furthermore there were no significant changes in percentage body fat, lipid profile, or fasting insulin between the intervention and control schools. CONCLUSION: A two-year school-based intervention with increased physical activity and healthy diet did not have a significant effect on common cardiovascular risk factors.

The researchers have left the building: what contributes to sustaining school-based interventions following the conclusion of formal research support?

BACKGROUND: This study examined the sustainability of New Moves, a school-based program aimed at decreasing weight-related problems in adolescent girls. The National Cancer Institute recognizes New Moves as a research-tested intervention program that produced positive behavioral and psychosocial outcomes. METHODS: Ten schools participated in the sustainability study. Teachers completed a survey and interview, and research staff observed 1 physical education (PE) class within 2 years of the study's completion. Qualitative data were grouped by themes. Frequencies were calculated using quantitative data. RESULTS: All schools continued all-girls PE classes using New Moves components following the study period. Fewer schools continued the nutrition and social support classroom modules and individual coaching sessions while no schools continued lunch get-togethers. Program components were sustained in both New Moves intervention schools and control schools. CONCLUSIONS: Programs are most likely to be sustained if they (1) fit into the current school structure, (2) receive buy-in by teachers, and (3) require minimal additional funds or staff time. Providing control schools with minimal training and intervention resources was sufficient to continue program components if staff perceived the program was important for students' health and compatible within the school's existing infrastructure.

Preliminary assessment of a school-based healthy lifestyle intervention among rural elementary school children.

BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity has become a national public health crisis in America. Physical inactivity and unhealthy eating behaviors may contribute to the childhood obesity epidemic. School-based healthy lifestyle interventions play a promising role in preventing and controlling childhood obesity. A comprehensive school-based healthy lifestyle intervention was implemented in 4 rural elementary schools in Kentucky. METHODS: The intervention included 4 goals: improving physical education, health education, family/community involvement, and school wellness policies. Children's physical activity was assessed by pedometer, and nutrition was assessed by a previous day recall survey in January (baseline), February (t1), March (t2), April (t3), and May (t4) of 2011. RESULTS: The intervention had significant effects on increasing the percentages of children meeting physical activity (1% vs 5%, p < .01) and nutrition (15% vs 26%, p < .01) recommendations. The effects of the intervention on physical activity and nutrition depended on school, grade, and age of the children. There was an increasing linear trend of physical activity and an increasing quadratic trend of nutrition over time among children. CONCLUSIONS: The intervention had beneficial effects in improving healthy behaviors among children. Further studies are needed to assess its long-term effects and cost-effectiveness.
