Prácticas pedagógicas, conocimientos y condiciones institucionales en las que laboran docentes colombianos. Un estudio sobre educación inclusiva y discapacidad / Pedagogical practices, knowledge and institutional conditions in which Colombian teachers work. A study on inclusive education and disability

Resumen En 2017 se expidió en Colombia el decreto 1421, según el cual todas las escuelas del país debían acoger estudiantes con discapacidad y ofrecerles oportunidades de calidad para su ingreso, permanencia y egreso. El Ministerio de Educación dio un plazo de cinco años, contados a partir de su aprobación, para que esta política se implementara en todo el territorio nacional. El objetivo de esta investigación es caracterizar las prácticas pedagógicas, los conocimientos y las condiciones institucionales (de tipo pedagógico-administrativo), en las que labora una muestra de docentes colombianos, seis años después de expedido el decreto. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño cuantitativo no experimental transeccional y la aplicación de una escala a 249 maestros y maestras de distintos niveles educativos. Con base en los hallazgos obtenidos, puede concluirse que hay un cambio positivo en las prácticas pedagógicas y los conocimientos de aquellos docentes que cuentan con formación en inclusión y que laboran en colegios que acogen alumnado con estas trayectorias de vida. Aun así, las condiciones institucionales del profesorado encuestado todavía no responden a proyectos inclusivos. Estos resultados se discuten a la luz de los retos que enfrenta el sistema educativo colombiano en pro de atender alumnado con discapacidad.

Abstract In 2017, Decree 1421 was issued in Colombia, according to which all schools in the country were to welcome students with disabilities and offer them quality opportunities for their entry, permanence and graduation. The Ministry of Education (MEN, 2017a) gave a deadline of five years for this policy to be implemented in the national territory, counted from its approval. The objective of this research is to characterize the pedagogical practices, knowledge and institutional conditions (pedagogical and administrative type) in which a sample of Colombian teachers work, six years after the decree was issued. For this purpose, a transectional non-experimental quantitative design was used and a scale was applied to 249 teachers of early childhood education, elementary school, junior high school and vocational middle school. Based on the findings obtained, it can be concluded that there is a positive change in the pedagogical practices and knowledge of those teachers who have training in inclusion and who work in private schools that receive students with these life trajectories. Even so, the institutional conditions of the teachers surveyed still do not respond to inclusive institutional projects. Since, at the time of writing this paper, we did not find other similar studies in the country, these results are discussed in the light of international research on the subject and in the framework of national policy, and allow extrapolating the challenges faced by the Colombian educational system in welcoming students with disabilities.

Síndrome de burnout e relações com habilidades sociais, coping e variáveis sócio-ocupacionais em professores do ensino fundamental

Este estudo teve como objetivo geral verificar a relação entre síndrome de burnout, habilidades sociais, coping e variáveis sócio-ocupacionais em uma amostra de 166 professores do ensino fundamental de 13 escolas públicas do interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, com idades entre 23 e 65 anos, sendo 73 % do sexo feminino. Foram utilizados o Inventário da Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais 2 (IHS-2), o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping (IEC) e um questionário sócio-ocupacional desenvolvido especialmente para esta pesquisa. Obteve-se correlação negativa entre o burnout e o repertório de habilidades sociais (r = -0,273 e p < 0,01). As estratégias de coping que se correlacionaram positivamente com as habilidades sociais foram: busca de suporte social, resolução de problemas e reavaliação positiva. Ademais, houve correlação positiva entre coping e realização profissional, indicando que professores que adotaram estratégias de enfrentamento apresentaram maior tendência a sentirem-se realizados profissionalmente. As variáveis preditoras do burnout foram idade, estado civil, provimento familiar, número de filhos, tempo de serviço, tratamento contínuo de saúde e desenvoltura social. Discutiu-se a implicação desses resultados no tocante às ações protetivas de saúde mental docente e quanto à relevância do desenvolvimento socioemocional nas escolas.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo general verificar la relación entre el síndrome de burnout, las habilidades sociales, el afrontamiento y las variables sociolaborales en una muestra de 166 profesores de educación básica de 13 escuelas públicas del interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, con edades entre 23 y 65 años, el 73 % de los cuales son mujeres. Se utilizó el Inventario de Síndrome de Burnout (ISB), el Inventario de Habilidades Sociales 2 (IHS-2), el Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento (IEC) y un cuestionario sociolaboral desarrollado especialmente para esta investigación. Se obtuvo una correlación negativa entre el burnout y el repertorio de habilidades sociales (r = -.273 y p = .001). Las estrategias de afrontamiento que se correlacionaron positivamente con las habilidades sociales fueron: búsqueda de apoyo social, resolución de problemas y reevaluación positiva. Además, hubo una correlación positiva entre el afrontamiento y la realización profesional, lo que indica que los profesores que adoptaron estrategias de afrontamiento tenían más probabilidades de sentirse realizados profesionalmente. Las variables predictoras del agotamiento fueron la edad, el estado civil, la provisión familiar, el número de hijos, el tiempo de servicio, la atención médica continua y la desenvoltura social. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados respecto de las acciones protectoras para la salud mental de los docentes y la relevancia del desarrollo socioemocional en las escuelas.

This study had the general objective of verifying the relationship between burnout syndrome, social skills, coping strategies, and socio-occupational variables in a sample of 166 elementary school teachers from 13 public schools of Minas Gerais, Brazil, aged between 23 and 65 years, 73 % of whom were female. The Burnout Syndrome Inventory (ISB), the Social Skills Inventory 2 (IHS-2), the Coping Strategies Inventory (IEC), and a socio-occupational questionnaire developed especially for this research were used. A negative correlation was obtained between burnout and repertoire of social skills (r = -.273 and p < .001). The coping strategies that positively correlated with social skills were seeking social support, problem solving, and positive reappraisal. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between coping and professional fulfillment, indicating that teachers who adopted coping strategies were more likely to feel professionally satisfied. The burnout predictor variables were age, marital status, family provision, number of children, length of service, ongoing health care and social resourcefulness. The implications of these results were discussed concerning protective actions for the mental health of teachers and the importance of socio-emotional development in schools.

Effectiveness of yoga interventions on stress and anxiety levels of school teachers during COVID-19 era in Anand district, Gujarat

Background: During coronavirus outbreak, lockdown was implemented in India and online teaching was adopted as new teaching method. This shifting in teaching pattern may increase the burden on mental health of school teachers and cause various mental health issues. Therefore, this study was done to assess stress and anxiety levels of teachers and impact of yoga intervention on them. Methods: An interventional study was conducted with teachers of five English medium schools. Pre-test was done for the assessment of stress and anxiety by using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) scale respectively. Yoga intervention was done virtually once a week for three months. Participants were asked to practice the yoga daily on their own. After three months, post-test was done using similar questionnaire. Results: A total of 136 teachers were enrolled in this study. On pre-test, moderate perceived stress was observed in 95 (69.9%) participants. 38 (27.9%) participants were having mild anxiety symptoms and 74 (54.5%) participants were having no anxiety symptoms. Pre PSS mean score was 17.28 (SD=5.90) and Post PSS mean score was 13.29 (SD=4.30). Pre GAD-7 mean score was 4.88 (SD=4.28) and Post GAD-7 mean score was 4.24 (SD=3.13). There were highly significant mean differences between pre-post comparison of PSS and GAD-7 (p<0.001). Conclusions: The study showed significant level of stress and anxiety among teachers. Yoga intervention of three months was effective in reducing stress and anxiety levels in teachers.

Voice Disorder, Job Stress, and COVID-19 in Teachers: Impacts in Times of Pandemic

Introduction: The conditions of teachers' work during the COVID-19 pandemic affected teachers' lives regarding voice disorder and stress, even in emergency remote classroom situation. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the presence of voice disorder, job stress, and COVID-19 in teachers when in emergency remote classroom teaching situation at the time of the pandemic. Method: This is a primary, exploratory, observational cross-sectional study with the use of survey forwarded online during the period of emergency classes after the arrival of COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. The teachers answered the sociodemographic questions about the presence of COVID-19 and the following instruments: Condition of Vocal Production-Teacher [Condição de Produção Vocal - Professor (CPV-P)], Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD), and Job Stress Scale (JSS). Results: Of the 118 teachers analyzed, 94.1% were female; the average age was 44 years. The SIVD recorded the presence of voice disorder in 66.9% of the participants. Regarding the JSS, which are the findings related to stress at work in the demand domain, the teachers showed high levels, a fact which presupposes the existence of pressure of psychological nature to perform their work. Conclusion: The teachers self-reported the presence of voice disorder even in remote class situation, on the occasion of COVID-19, which were more common in older teachers. When comparing the presence of voice disorders, coronavirus symptoms, and stress domains in relation to demand, control, and social support, there was no significance. It is hoped that this study will help to reflect on the need to improve teachers' working conditions, strengthening work-related voice disorder actions and guiding actions for vocal care and well-being.

Introducción: Las condiciones de trabajo de los profesores durante la pandemia de COVID-19 afectaron sus vidas en lo que respecta al trastorno de la voz y el estrés, incluso en situaciones de emergencia en aulas remotas. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la presencia de trastorno de la voz, estrés laboral y COVID-19 en profesores cuando se encontraban en situación de emergencia de enseñanza en aulas remotas en la época de la pandemia. Método: Se trata de un estudio primario, exploratorio, observacional de tipo transversal, con el uso de encuesta remitida online durante el periodo de clases de emergencia tras la llegada de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Brasil. Los profesores respondieron a las preguntas sociodemográficas sobre la presencia de COVID-19 y a los siguientes instrumentos: Condición de Producción Vocal-Profesor (CPV-P), Índice de Detección de los Trastornos de la Voz (SIVD) y Escala de Estrés Laboral (JSS). Resultados: De los 118 profesores analizados, el 94,1% eran mujeres; la mediana de edad era de 44 años. El (SIVD) registró la presencia de trastorno de la voz en el 66,9% de los participantes. En cuanto a la JSS, que son los hallazgos relacionados con el estrés laboral en el dominio de la demanda, los profesores mostraron niveles elevados, hecho que presupone la existencia de presiones de naturaleza psicológica para realizar su trabajo. Conclusión: Los profesores autoinformaron de la presencia de trastornos de la voz incluso en situación de clase a distancia, con ocasión del COVID-19, que fueron más frecuentes en los profesores de más edad. Al comparar la presencia de trastornos de la voz, los síntomas del coronavirus y los dominios de estrés en relación con la demanda, el control y el apoyo social, no hubo resultados significativos. Se espera que este estudio ayude a reflexionar sobre la necesidad de mejorar las condiciones de trabajo de los docentes, fortaleciendo las acciones de Trastorno de la voz relacionado con el trabajo (WRVD) y orientando acciones para el cuidado y bienestar vocal.

Relación del estrés laboral y habilidades emocionales en profesores/as universitarios/as de Educación Física

El síndrome del Burnout es un estado de agotamiento físico y emocional que implica una pérdida del interés en el trabajo, actitudes negativas hacia los demás, y baja autoestima. Las habilidades emocionales se definen como capacidades para conocer y dominar emociones propias y de otros/as. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la relación entre los niveles de habilidades emocionales y síndrome de Burnout en docentes universitarios de escuelas de Educación Física. Se evaluaron a 31 docentes universitarios de dos universidades de Santiago de Chile. Se aplicó la Escala de rasgo de metaconocimiento emocional validada en estudiantes de Educación Física de Chile y el inventario de Burnout de Maslach (MBI). Los resultados revelan una relación baja y negativa entre los puntajes de despersonalización y reparación emocional en la muestra. El sexo del docente, los años de docencia universitaria, tener cargos directivos o estar en tratamiento psicológico o farmacológico no influyen en los niveles de estrés laboral y habilidades emocionales. Se recomienda replicar esta investigación con muestras de docentes universitarios de escuelas de Educación Física en otras universidades, además del control de otras variables como ansiedad, depresión, motivación, etc.

Burnout syndrome is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion that involves a loss of interest in work, negative attitudes towards others, and low self-esteem. Emotional skills are defined as the ability to recognize and manage one's own emotions and the emotions of others. The aim of the present research was to analyze the relationship between levels of emotional skills and Burnout syndrome in university professors from Physical Education schools. A total of 31 university professors from two universities in Santiago, Chile, were evaluated. The Trait Meta-Mood Scale, validated in Physical Education students in Chile, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were employed. The results reveal a low and negative relationship between depersonalization and emotional repair scores in the sample. The professor's gender, years of university teaching experience, holding managerial positions, or undergoing psychological or pharmacological treatment do not influence levels of occupational stress and emotional skills. It is recommended to replicate this research with samples of university professors from Physical Education schools in other universities, controlling other variables such as anxiety, depression, motivation, etc.

Para evaluar los resultados obtenidos se utilizó la prueba de la t de Student o ANOVA de una vía, con post hoc de Tukey. El nivel de significancia se fijó en p ≤ 0,05. Los profesores tuvieron un promedio de conocimiento sobre trauma dental de 5,0 ±3,0 puntos, de un puntaje máximo posible de 14, sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el nivel de enseñanza donde ejerce la docencia (5,2±2,8, 4,9±3,3 y 4,9±3,3 puntos, p=0,88). El conocimiento sobre traumatismo dentoalveolar entre los profesores es deficiente. Se recomienda implementar programas educativos para el manejo de traumas dentales.

The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of teachers affiliated to private subsidized schools in Osorno regarding dentoalveolar trauma. Cross-sectional study, where a survey was carried out face-to-face or online, based on a questionnaire to determine the knowledge about dentoalveolar trauma in elementary and middle school teachers, affiliated with educational establishments in the commune of Osorno, Chile. Inclusion criteria were full-time employment at the time of data collection, with at least one year of experience. Retirement, teachers aged 65 or older, and unwillingness to participate in the survey were considered exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using the R software, Student's t test or one- way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Teachers had an average knowledge of dental trauma of 5.0±3.0 points, out of a maximum possible score of 14, without statistically significant differences between the level of education where they teach (5.2±2.8, 4.9±3.3 and 4.9±3.3 points, p = 0.88). Knowledge regarding dentoalveolar traumatism among teachers of private subsidized schools in Osorno is deficient. It is recommended to implement educational programs for the management of dental trauma.

Factores asociados al liderazgo docente / Factors asociated to teacher leadership

Abstract: El liderazgo docente resulta ser una variable importante debido al papel que juega en la mejora de la calidad del profesorado y su relación positiva con los resultados escolares; sin embargo, en las realidades institucionales persisten situaciones que obstaculizan o desalientan al magisterio a asumir estos roles. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue el de describir cuáles son los factores que facilitan o inhiben el desarrollo del liderazgo docente en una escuela primaria de Mérida, Yucatán, México. Se siguió un estudio de caso con métodos mixtos. Para el análisis cualitativo, se trabajó con los datos recabados mediante las técnicas de observación participante y la entrevista semi-estructurada. Para el análisis de datos cuantitativos se utilizó la técnica de la administración de encuestas online, y se llevaron a cabo inferenciales no paramétricos: Ji cuadrada y prueba U de Mann Whitney. Se encontró que tener un liderazgo docente alto está relacionado positivamente con tener iniciativa para emprender proyectos innovadores escolares; a diferencia, el nivel bajo de liderazgo se asoció con la incomodidad con roles de liderazgo. Se detectaron diferencias en los resultados de las técnicas cualitativas y las cuantitativas. En el estudio cualitativo se obtuvo que ser docente de apoyo, la figura del director, el individualismo, la disponibilidad de tiempo, la carga administrativa, los grupos numerosos, entre otros, fueron categorías que pueden influir en el hecho de actuar o no con liderazgo. Es indispensable conocer todas las situaciones por la que atraviesan los profesores para poder tomar las decisiones de manera informada, así como encontrar las raíces reales de los problemas que están estrechamente relacionadas con las decisiones sobre po lítica pública.

Abstract: Teacher leadership is an important variable due to the role it plays in improving teacher quality and its positive relationship with school results. However, contextual situations exist within institutions that hinder or discourage teachers from assuming these roles. The objective of this research was to describe the characteristics and factors that foster or inhibit the development of teacher leadership in a primary school in Mérida, Yucatán. A case study with mixed methods was followed. For the qualitative phase data were collected employing participant observation and semi-structured interviews. For the quantitative phase of the study online surveys were administered and the following non-parametric inferential tests were carried out: chisquare and Mann-Whitney U test; Findings suggest that high levels of leadership are positively correlated to having the initiative to undertake innovative school projects. In contrast, low levels of leadership were associated to discomfort with leadership roles. Significant differences were identified in the results of the qualitative and quantitative phase. The qualitative phase revealed that being a support teacher, the principal's role, individualism, the availability of time, the administrative burden, large groups, among others, were categories that can influence teacher's intentions to act or not with leadership. It is essential to know the situations that all teachers go through in order to make decisions in an informed manner, as well as to find the real roots of the problems that are closely related to decisions on public policy.

Reflexos da pandemia de covid-19 na rotina de vida e trabalho das docentes da UFRJ / Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the life and work routine of UFRJ professors / Impactos de la pandemia del COVID-19 sobre la rutina de vida y trabajo de los profesores de la Universidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro

A pandemia de covid-19 impactou profundamente a saúde pública e a área da educação do ensino superior, o que refletiu em inovações e desafios para as docentes do ensino superior da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo deste estudo foi contribuir para o debate acerca dos reflexos da pandemia no trabalho e na vida das docentes da Universidade. Utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa e adotou-se a entrevista semiestruturada realizada com 36 docentes do sexo feminino das unidades vinculadas ao Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas da instituição. As entrevistas foram realizadas e gravadas por meio da plataforma Zoom, e para a análise utilizou-se o método de interpretação de sentidos. Os resultados apontaram que no contexto pandêmico novas exigências foram postas à profissão, com a implantação do ensino remoto emergencial. Esse novo cenário provocou desgaste emocional, expresso por sensações de cansaço, impotência, sobrecarga de trabalho, adoecimento e dificuldades de relacionamento com os alunos. A pandemia apontou a sobrecarga de trabalho como fator de risco para o adoecimento das docentes da Universidade, por envolver questões como as desigualdades de gênero, conciliação das esferas pública e privada, excesso de trabalho e ausência de políticas institucionais voltadas para as mulheres no contexto pandêmico.

The COVID-19 pandemic had profound impacts on public health and on higher education, which reflected in innovations and challenges for professors at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), especially female ones who had to adapt to multiple work routines and lockdown policies. This qualitative study sought to contribute to the debate about the pandemic effects on the work and lives of UFRJ professors. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews conducted with 36 female professors from units linked to the Philosophy and Human Sciences Center (CFCH). All interviews were conducted and recorded through the Zoom platform. Qualitative data analysis was performed using the interpretation of meanings. Results pointed out that new demands were placed on the profession during the pandemic with the implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching. This new scenario caused great emotional distress, expressed by feelings of tiredness, impotence, work overload, illness and relation difficulties with students. The pandemic revealed that work overload has acted as a risk factor for illness among higher education professors at UFRJ, as it involves issues such as gender inequalities, conciliation of the public and private spheres, overwork and absence of institutional policies aimed at women in the pandemic context.

Detection of plasma anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)antibodies against enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli(EHEC) in asymptomatic kindergarten teachers fromBuenos Aires province

Resumen En Argentina, el síndrome urémico hemolítico causado por Escherichia coli enterohemorrágica (EHEC) tiene la más alta incidencia del mundo. Las infecciones por EHEC tienen un comportamiento endemoepidémico y causan del 20 al 30% de los síndromes de diarrea sanguinolenta en niños menores de 5 años. En el período 2016-2020, se notificaron 272 nuevos casos por año al Sistema de Vigilancia de Salud Nacional. Múltiples factores son responsables de la alta incidencia de SUH en Argentina, incluyendo la transmisión persona-persona. Con el objetivo de detectar posibles portadores asintomáticos de EHEC, realizamos un estudio preliminar de la frecuencia de anticuerpos antilipopolisacáridos contra los serotipos de EHEC más prevalentes en Argentina. El estudio se realizó con muestras de plasma obtenidas de 61 maestras y maestros de jardines de infantes de 26 instituciones del distrito de José C. Paz, localizado en el área suburbana de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. El 51% de las muestras presentaron anticuerpos contra los serotipos de lipopolisacáridos O157, O145, O121 y O103; el 6,4% de las muestras positivas tuvieron el isotipo IgM (n=2), el 61,3% el isotipo IgG (n=19) y el 32,3% los isotipos IgM e IgG (n=10). Dado que los anticuerpos antilipopolisacáridos presentan usualmente una duración corta, la detección de IgM específica podría indicar una infección reciente. Además, el alto porcentaje de muestras positivas hallado podría indicar una exposición frecuente a las cepas de EHEC en la cohorte estudiada. Asimismo, la gran población de adultos portadores asintomáticos de estas cepas patógenas podría contribuir al comportamiento endémico, a través de la transmisión persona-persona. El perfeccionamiento de programas educacionales continuos en jardines de infantes podría constituir una medida importante para reducir los casos de síndrome urémico hemolítico, no solo en Argentina, sino también en el mundo.

Abstract In Argentina, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) caused by EHEC has the highest incidence in the world. EHEC infection has an endemo-epidemic behavior, causing 20-30% of acute bloody diarrhea syndrome in children under 5 years old. In the period 2016-2020, 272 new cases per year were notified to the National Health Surveillance System. Multiple factors are responsible for HUS incidence in Argentina including person-to-person transmission. In order to detect possible EHEC carriers, we carried out a preliminary study of the frequency of kindergarten teachers with anti-LPS antibodies against the most prevalent EHEC serotypes in Argentina. We analyzed 61 kindergarten teachers from 26 institutions from José C. Paz district, located in the suburban area of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Fifty-one percent of the plasma samples had antibodies against O157, O145, O121 and O103 LPS: 6.4% of the positive samples had IgM isotype (n=2), 61.3% IgG isotype (n=19) and 32.3% IgM and IgG (n=10). Given that antibodies against LPS antigens are usually short-lived specific IgM detection may indicate a recent infection. In addition, the high percentage of positive samples may indicate a frequent exposure to EHEC strains in the cohort studied, as well as the existence of a large non-symptomatic population of adults carrying pathogenic strains that could contribute to the endemic behavior through person-to-person transmission. The improvement of continuous educational programs in kindergarten institutions could be a mandatory measure to reduce HUS cases not only in Argentina but also globally.

Lazer, gênero e pandemia: percepções e práticas de professores e professoras de Educação Física de Sete Lagoas Minas Gerais / Leisure, gender and pandemic: perceptions and practices of Physical Education teachers in Sete Lagoas Minas Gerais

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as relações entre questões de gênero e as práticas de lazer de professores e professoras de Educação Física (EF) das escolas públicas de Sete Lagoas, na pandemia. Utilizou-se como procedimentos metodológicos: questionário semiaberto via Google Forms e entrevista semiestruturada. Constatou-se que o gênero se configurou enquanto elemento de diferença de oportunidade e usufruto do tempo, espaço e experiências de lazer, em especial no caso das professoras que se identificaram como sexo feminino, mulheres cis e heterossexuais e dos professores que autodeclararam gays, sexo masculino e homens cis. No que se refere às práticas de lazer dessas pessoas, constatou-se a predominância de atividades relacionadas ao interesse virtual, como, por exemplo, o uso de redes sociais como Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp e TikTok, bem como a utilização de plataformas digitais como Netflix e Prime Vídeo.

This research aims to analyze the relationships between gender issues and the leisure practices of Physical Education (PE) teachers at public schools in Sete Lagoas, during the pandemic. The following methodological procedures were used: semi-open questionnaire via Google Forms and semi-structured interview. It was found that gender was configured as an element of difference in opportunity and enjoyment of time, space and leisure experiences, especially in the case of teachers who identified themselves as female, cis and heterosexual women and teachers who declared themselves gay, sex masculine and cis men. Regarding leisure practices of these people, there was a predominance of activities related to virtual interest, such as, for example, the use of social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok, as well as the use of digital platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video.

Food consumption and remote working conditions among Brazilian Primary Schools teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic / Consumo de alimentos y condiciones de trabajo remoto en maestros brasileños de básica durante la pandemia de COVID-19

Introduction: Teaching work, which is characterized by being exhausting, with a significant workload, with synchronous and/or asynchronous remote classes. Objective: To describe associations between the working conditions of school teachers at home and their food consumption during the suspension of face-to-face classes. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study using a self-administered online questionnaire with 15,372 working teachers from Minas Gerais, Brazil. The dependent variables analyzed were the consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods. Independent variables included sociodemographic factors, remote work conditions, understanding of online technologies, computer access, and quality of Internet connection. The Poisson model with robust variance was used to determine the association between working conditions and food consumption. Results: In the analysis of the adjusted multivariate model, there was a significant association between eating habits and the following variables: gender, age, working hours (per week), feelings regarding teachers' work during the pandemic, working hours during the pandemic and quality work internet connection. Our data shows that teachers' remote working conditions are associated with worse food consumption. They also showed that working hours equal to or greater than 40 hours per week, feelings of dissatisfaction with working conditions during the pandemic, increased working hours during the pandemic and poor quality of internet connection were variables correlated with the consumption of unhealthy foods. Conclusions: Remote working conditions during the pandemic influenced primary school teachers' food choices. More studies are needed to delve deeper into issues related to teachers' working conditions and the implications for food choices(AU)

Introducción: La labor docente se caracteriza por ser agotadora, con una importante carga horaria, con clases remotas síncronas y/o asíncronas. Objetivo: Describir la asociación existente entre las condiciones del trabajo remoto de los docentes de la educación básica y el consumo de sus alimentos durante el período de suspensión de las clases presenciales. Métodos: Es un estudio transversal mediante cuestionario en línea autoadministrado con 15.372 docentes activos en Minas Gerais, Brasil. Las variables dependientes analizadas fueron el consumo de los alimentos saludables y de los no saludables. Las variables independientes incluyeron los factores sociodemográficos, las condiciones del trabajo remoto, la comprensión de las tecnologías en línea, el acceso a las computadoras así como la calidad de la conexión a la Internet. Se utilizó el modelo de Poisson con variación robusta para determinar la asociación entre las condiciones del trabajo y el consumo de los alimentos. Resultados: En el análisis del modelo multivariado ajustado hubo una asociación significativa entre los hábitos alimentarios y las siguientes variables: el género, la edad, la jornada laboral semanal, el sentimiento sobre el trabajo durante la pandemia, la jornada laboral durante la pandemia y la calidad de la conexión a la internet. Nuestros datos demuestran que las condiciones del trabajo remoto de los docentes están asociadas con un empeoramiento en el consumo de los alimentos. También mostraron que la jornada laboral igual o superior a unas 40 horas semanales, los sentimientos de insatisfacción con las condiciones laborales, el aumento de la jornada laboral y la mala calidad de la conexión a la Internet durante la pandemia fueron variables correlacionadas con el consumo de alimentos no saludables. Conclusiones: Las condiciones del trabajo remoto durante la pandemia influyeron en las elecciones alimentarias de los docentes de la educación básica. Se necesitan más estudios para profundizar en los aspectos relacionados con las condiciones laborales de los docentes y sus implicaciones en la elección de sus alimentos(AU)

Prevalence of Work Ability and its Associated Factors among Secondary School Teachers in Selangor, Malaysia

@#Introduction: Work ability is the relationship between a person’s personality, health, lifestyle, and employment-related factors. There are, however, few studies evaluating the variables linked to school teachers’ work ability. The purpose of this study was to assess school teachers’ work ability and the factors that affect it. Methods: A cross-sectional study of secondary school teachers was carried out. Sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, body mass index, low back pain (LBP), psychological factors, work-related factors, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and work ability were all collected through the questionnaire. The association between potential factors and job ability was investigated using ordinal logistic regression. Results were presented using odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Results: Of 1280, there were 1037 (81.0%) teachers who returned the questionnaire. The majority (71.9%) of the participants had moderate work ability, while 22.6% had good, and 5.5% had poor work ability. None of them were particularly had excellent work ability. The factors associated with increased work ability in the multivariable analysis were better HRQoL, namely physical (OR 1.11, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.15) and mental (OR 1.12, 95%CI: 1.06, 1.16) health and wellbeing. Conclusion: Positive associations exist between a teacher’s work ability and their physical and emotional well-being. Henceforth suggesting that these factors should be incorporated in workplace health promotion programs to maintain teachers’ work ability.

Necessidades Formativas do Professor Frente à Demanda de Alunos da Educação Especial em Classes Comuns / Teacher's Training Needs Towards Special Education Students' Demand in Ordinary Classrooms

RESUMO: Este estudo teve como escopo analisar os avanços da inclusão do público da Educação Especial nas salas de aula comuns da Educação Básica, considerando as necessidades formativas dos docentes nessa área específica. Consiste em um estudo quantiqualitativo, tendo como fontes empíricas microdados da Prova Brasil, edição 2021, mais especificamente os questionários destinados aos docentes do 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, os quais estão disponíveis no portal do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep). A extração dessas informações e análise estatística foram realizadas com o auxílio do Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). O resultado da investigação revela que o percentual de matrículas dos alunos com deficiência, transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) e altas habilidades em classes comuns, no Brasil, entre 2013 e 2019, cresceu 7,4%. Aponta, também, que 86,5% dos professores da amostra investigada declararam possuir necessidades formativas de nível moderado a alto. Conclui-se que o público da Educação Especial ainda necessita travar muitos embates em prol de uma escola mais justa e inclusiva para todos, o que implica batalhar para que os princípios de igualdade e equidade se materializem tanto no campo real quanto no campo ideal.

Qualidade de vida e percepção de estresse dos docentes de uma instituição privada de ensino superior / Quality of life and perception of stress among teachers at a private higher education institution

Embora a profissão docente disfrute de grande prestígio, tanto do ponto de vista científico quanto social, ela é uma das profissões mais afetadas pelo estresse cujos efeitos comprometem a saúde física e mental desses profissionais, com efeito direto na sua qualidade de vida. Sabe-se que estresse pode afetar pessoas de todas as idades podendo, ainda, gerar impactos nas condições econômicas tanto dos empregados e empregadores, quanto ao Estado, com incremento dos custos relativos aos recursos humanos, sociais e financeiros, dada à maior suscetibilidade ao adoecimento e ao risco inerente de afastamentos ocupacionais por licença de trabalho, tratamento médico, aposentadoria por invalidez, alteração nos processos de gestão das organizações e na vida particular do trabalhador. Assim, as Política Nacional de Saúde do Trabalhador e Trabalhadora e a Política de Promoção da Saúde objetivam criar meios capazes de regulamentar e estimular a adoção de um ambiente de trabalho que que promova o bem-estar físico, mental, econômico e social, refletindo, assim na qualidade de vida do trabalhador. Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) e estresse entre os docentes em uma instituição privada de ensino superior. Como objetivos secundários, caracterizar as informações sociodemográficas, de saúde e relacionadas ao trabalho entre esses docentes, bem como identificar a relação entre os fatores determinantes de pior qualidade de vida. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa, cuja amostra foi composta por 119 docentes voluntários de todas as áreas do conhecimento de três unidades pertencentes a uma instituição de ensino superior privada. Foram utilizados os instrumentos WHOQOL-Bref (para avaliação da QV), um questionário sociodemográfico, ocupacional e de formação acadêmica, além da ESP-10 (para avaliação do estresse). Após a coleta de dados, as informações foram transferidas para o Excel e, posteriormente, ao software Statistical Softwares for Social Science (SPSS) versão 19.0, onde realizamos a análise descritiva e os cálculos das variáveis numéricas. Para avaliar os fatores associados a uma pior qualidade de vida foram utilizados os testes qui-quadrado de Pearson, na análise univariada e o modelo de regressão logística binária na análise multivariada. O nível de significância considerado de 5%. Todos os preceitos éticos estabelecidos pela Resolução n. 466/12 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde serão respeitados e este estudo somente iniciou após aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UFMG. Resultados: A maioria dos docentes eram do sexo feminino (55,5%), na faixa etária entre 21 e 64 anos, da raça branca (68,9%), com companheiro (55,5%) e 64,7% têm filhos. A renda salarial média era de até 2 salários-mínimos (43,7%), 55,5% eram da área de ciências da saúde e, por fim, 47,9% possuem mestrado completo. Após análise multivariada, verificou-se que a chance de ter uma pior qualidade de vida foi significativamente maior para os professores que atuam até 6 horas semanalmente, que possuíam qualidade de sono ruim/regular (OR=3,44; IC 95% 1,44-8,20) e estresse elevado (OR=2,86; IC 95% 1,10-7,42). Além disso, os docentes com carga horária de mais de 15 horas tiveram menor chance de baixa qualidade de vida (OR=0,26; IC 95% 0,09-0,77) que aqueles com carga horária de até 6 horas. Conclusão: Os docentes possuem uma avaliação insatisfatória da sua Qualidade de Vida, principalmente no domínio meio ambiente, com elevados índices de estresse. Além disso, alguns fatores foram determinantes de uma pior qualidade de vida, sendo os elevados níveis de estresse, a qualidade do sono ruim e a baixa carga horária semanal. Por fim, como produto técnico, será entregue um relatório técnico com os resultados desta pesquisa e a publicação em revista científica relacionada à temática.

Although the teaching profession enjoys great prestige, both from a scientific and social point of view, it is one of the professions most affected by stress, the effects of which compromise the physical and mental health of these professionals, with a direct effect on their quality of life. It is known that stress can affect people of all ages and can also generate impacts on the economic conditions of both employees and employers, as well as the State, with an increase in costs related to human, social and financial resources, given the greater susceptibility to illness. and the inherent risk of occupational absence due to work leave, medical treatment, disability retirement, changes in organizations' management processes and in the worker's private life. Thus, the National Occupational Health Policy and the Health Promotion Policy aim to create means capable of regulating and encouraging the adoption of a work environment that promotes physical, mental, economic and social well-being, reflecting, thus affecting the worker's quality of life. Objective: to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and stress among teachers at a private higher education institution. As secondary objectives, characterize the sociodemographic, health and work-related information among these teachers, as well as identify the relationship between the factors determining a worse quality of life. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory study with a quantitative approach, whose sample was composed of 119 volunteer teachers from all areas of knowledge from three units belonging to a private higher education institution. The WHOQOL-Bref instruments (to assess QoL), a sociodemographic, occupational and academic training questionnaire were used, in addition to the ESP-10 (to assess stress). After data collection, the information was transferred to Excel and, subsequently, to the Statistical Software for Social Science (SPSS) version 19.0, where we performed the descriptive analysis and calculations of numerical variables. To evaluate the factors associated with a worse quality of life, Pearson's chi-square tests were used in the univariate analysis and the binary logistic regression model in the multivariate analysis. The significance level considered is 5%. All ethical precepts established by Resolution no. 466/12 of the National Health Council will be respected and this study only began after approval by the UFMG Research Ethics Committee. Results: The majority of teachers were female (55.5%), aged between 21 and 64 years old, white (68.9%), with a partner (55.5%) and 64.7% had children. The average salary income was up to 2 minimum wages (43.7%), 55.5% were in the health sciences area and, finally, 47.9% had a master's degree. After multivariate analysis, it was found that the chance of having a worse quality of life was significantly higher for teachers who work up to 6 hours a week, who had poor/regular quality of sleep (OR=3.44; 95% CI 1. 44-8.20) and high stress (OR=2.86; 95% CI 1.10-7.42). Furthermore, teachers with a workload of more than 15 hours had a lower chance of low quality of life (OR=0.26; 95% CI 0.09-0.77) than those with a workload of up to 6 hours. Conclusion: Teachers have an unsatisfactory assessment of their Quality of Life, especially in the environmental domain, with high levels of stress. Furthermore, some factors were determinants of a worse quality of life, including high levels of stress, poor quality of sleep and low weekly working hours. Finally, as a technical product, a technical report will be delivered with the results of this research and publication in a scientific journal related to the topic.
