Does Sedentary Behavior Predict Academic Performance in Adolescents or the Other Way Round? A Longitudinal Path Analysis.

2016

This study examined whether adolescents’ time spent on sedentary behaviors (academic, technological-based and social-based activities) was a better predictor of academic performance than the reverse. A cohort of 755 adolescents participated in a three-year period study. Structural Equation Modeling techniques were used to test plausible causal hypotheses. Four competing models were analyzed to determine which model best fitted the data. The Best Model was separately tested by gender. The Best Model showed that academic performance was a better predictor of sedentary behaviors than the other way round. It also indicated that students who obtained excellent academic results were more likely t…

Assessing 4th Grade Students’ Computational Thinking through Scratch Programming Projects

2020

Computational thinking (CT) has been introduced in primary schools worldwide. However, rich classroom-based evidence and research on how to assess and support students’ CT through programming are particularly scarce. This empirical study investigates 4th grade students’ (N = 57) CT in a comparatively comprehensive and fine-grained manner by assessing their Scratch projects (N = 325) with a framework that was revised from previous studies to aim towards enhancing CT. The results demonstrate in detail the various coding patterns and code constructs the students programmed in assorted projects throughout a programming course and the extent to which they had conceptual encounters with CT. Notab…

The Integration and Sharing of Resources for a New Quality of Living

2014

In questo capitolo, il tema della condivisione è trattato anche dal punto di vista giuridico attraverso una discussione caratterizzante il dibattito rilevante. Sono quindi approfondite le questioni inerenti le funzioni e la forma urbana. L’IT infatti può interagire con problemi operativi della città e con l’uso delle risorse ambientali (energia, suolo, acqua…), parametro indicativo su cui devono essere sviluppate le trasformazioni urbane. Come condividere gli spazi e le funzioni urbane costituisce la nuova frontiera nel campo dell’innovazione urbana. In this chapter, the issues of sharing of information and of information technologies use are dealt with from the juridical point of view, thr…

Genomic Testing for Human Health and Disease Across the Life Cycle: Applications and Ethical, Legal, and Social Challenges

2019

The expanding use of genomic technologies encompasses all phases of life, from the embryo to the elderly, and even the posthumous phase. In this paper, we present the spectrum of genomic healthcare applications, and describe their scope and challenges at different stages of the life cycle. The integration of genomic technology into healthcare presents unique ethical issues that challenge traditional aspects of healthcare delivery. These challenges include the different definitions of utility as applied to genomic information; the particular characteristics of genetic data that influence how it might be protected, used and shared; and the difficulties applying existing models of informed con…

La participación de la prensa de Cataluña en la construcción de la homofobia como problema social (2012-2014)

2017

El Parlament de Cataluña aprobó el 04/10/2014 una ley pionera en España para erradicar la homofobia. Esta investigación analiza cuantitativamente qué cobertura sobre la violencia contra gays y lesbianas ofrecieron los dos diarios más vendidos en Cataluña (La Vanguardia y El Periódico) desde el arranque de la X legislatura (17/12/2012) con el objetivo de determinar si estos diarios favorecieron una representación de la homofobia como problema social, tanto en su discurso informativo como en sus artículos de opinión, y establecer comparaciones entre ambas cabeceras. La hipótesis de partida señala que la cobertura de casos de violencia homófoba será elevada, pese a que se espera una mayor pres…

2019

El presente artículo forma parte de una amplia investigación relativa al uso del teléfono móvil en la formación universitaria de futuros maestros, en la didáctica de la Expresión Plástica de la Facultad de Magisterio de la Universitat de València. En adelante exponemos la dimensión del teléfono móvil como una herramienta social y educativa en la didáctica de las artes visuales. La evolución de este dispositivo en su breve pero intensa trayectoria puede facilitar en nuestra área de conocimiento el trabajo mediante imágenes. Las redes sociales son otro de los agentes que se presentan como espacio virtual que posibilita a los estudiantes interactuar entre los lindes de la educación formal y la…

Instrumentos para medir la habilidad de comunicación: una revisión sistemática

2019

Existe un amplio consenso respecto al hecho de que hay una brecha entre las habilidades propias del siglo XXI que el mercado laboral demanda a los nuevos profesionales y las habilidades que estos adquieren en el ámbito de la educación superior. Diversos estudios demuestran que la habilidad de comunicación es de las más demandas por los empleadores, a la vez que una de las más precarias entre los recién egresados. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue establecer el estado actual de la investigación respecto a instrumentos de medición de la habilidad de comunicación en estudiantes de educación superior. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura especializada en instrumentos para med…

Teaching and Learning School Informatics: A Concept-Based Pedagogical Approach

2009

While informatics is a well-established discipline in higher education around the world, it is not the case in secondary education, with the exception of a few countries. Generally, what is taught is not informatics as a subject with its own methods, concepts, and principles, but some software tools with the goal that the use is sufficient for students to acquire skills. In addition, an analysis of the current situation reveals that the real competencies of teachers and students in informatics are far weaker than might be expected in secondary education. This work proposes a concept-based pedagogical approach to school informatics. The aim is to provide the students with a more thorough und…

Evolución de los riesgos ambientales en el contexto de la crisis económica. Informe SESPAS 2014

2014

ResumenNuestro objetivo es analizar el impacto de la crisis económica-financiera en los determinantes ambientales de la salud. La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que entre un 13% y un 27% de la carga de enfermedad de los países podría prevenirse mejorando el medio ambiente. Los efectos son de mayor magnitud en poblaciones más vulnerables, en especial entre los más pobres. En la última década, la contaminación atmosférica exterior (el riesgo ambiental más relevante, en términos de salud, para la mayoría de los países europeos) se ha reducido moderadamente, sobre todo por las políticas europeas de reducción de emisiones y por la disminución de la actividad con la crisis económica. En …
