Informe Preliminar Sobre la Encuesta de Prácticas Docentes en Países en Vía de Desarrollo
2013
This paper illustrates a research method appropriate for researchers examining teaching practices and teacher training in poor countries. The method of research described here does not compare with large scale studies in terms of sample size, scientific rigor, and sophisticated statistical analysis. We believe, however, that it can, provide valid information sufficient in accuracy for policy making. Most importantly, we believe, this method offers a feasible way for national researchers to explore why teachers teach as they do in their country. A fundamental assumption is that once in the classroom most teachers learn little more about teaching. In the absence of any systematic feedback or …

Gender segregation in Vocational Training (VT). Findings and Proposals from a Participatory Process of Designing Youth Public Policies in Ontinyent, …
2020
La Formación Profesional (FP) es uno de los campos sobre los que más debate está habiendo en la actualidad. Se trata de una modalidad formativa vinculada expresamente al mercado laboral y que tiene, por tanto, efectos sustanciales en el desarrollo profesional de la juventud. Este artículo pretende ofrecer reflexiones y propuestas que surgen de la juventud que participó en el proceso de investigación y en el diseño del I Plan de Juventud de Ontinyent (Valencia, España). En concreto, se presenta la Formación Profesional desde una perspectiva de género y desde la mirada de la juventud, con un enfoque participativo que permite la reflexión, el debate, la deliberación y el diseño bottom-up de ej…
La formazione iniziale degli insegnanti attraverso la pratica del microteaching.
2014
Le metodologie che fanno uso della videoregistrazione sono sempre più utilizzate nella formazione professionale dei futuri insegnanti. La professionalità del docente richiede oltre alle conoscenze teoriche o disciplinari, la capacità di mobilitare i saperi per organizzare risposte efficaci a problemi complessi e rilevanti e la capacità di riflettere sul proprio agire. È necessario che durante il percorso universitario l’insegnante in formazione acquisisca specifiche competenze e capacità autoriflessive. Questo contributo descrive una metodologia per la creazione di esperienze formative centrate sull’utilizzo della videoregistrazione e per la raccolta di dati sull’effetto del video sull’appr…
The Mediating Effect of Different Exercise Programs on the Immune Profile of Frail Older Women with Cognitive Impairment.
2020
Background: Frail individuals experience an accelerated immunosenescence, and exercise has been identified as a therapy to promote a better inflammatory environment. Objective: To analyze the effects of 28-weeks of two different exercise protocols on the functional fitness and immune profiles of institutionalized pre-frail and frail women with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: Participants residing in care homes (n=60, 81±7.84 years old) were randomized into three groups: a chair elastic band muscle-strength exercise (CSE, n=21; 81±4.79), a chair multimodal exercise (CME, n=20; 80±8.19), and a control non-exercise (CGne, n=19; 80±10.01). Both CME and CSE groups performed progressive circ…
Systematic review of aquatic physical exercise programs on functional fitness in older adults
2021
The practice of physical exercise is recommended in the prevention of the deterioration of neuromuscular functions in aging. The objectives of this systematic review were to describe the protocols used and the functional fitness indicators evaluated in aquatic exercise programs in adults aged 50 to 80 years. The Pubmed database was used. The keywords were: 1) Physical exercise program or protocols or duration or type of exercise or aquatic exercise, frequency or intensity or indicators; 2) Adults or older adults; 3) Training or indicators, functional fitness, physical fitness. The search strategy considered the components of the Population, Interventions, Comparators, Outcomes, and Study de…
Effect of the MobilityWOD training program on functional movement patterns related to the risk of injury in CrossFit practitioners
2020
Background: CrossFit is an increasingly popular form of physical activity. However, due to its specificity and high intensity, it carries with it a considerable risk of injuries. So it is important to know if some specific training including exercises derived from physiotherapy and functional training (MobilityWOD) can reduce the risk of injury. Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the effect of MobilityWOD training program on functional movement patterns related to the risk of injury in adult male CrossFit practitioners. Methods: The study included 30 men aged 20-35 years old who practice CrossFit training five timeper week. Initially, a functional evaluation was performed using th…
Integrative Neuromuscular Training Enhances Physical Fitness in 6- to 14-Year-Old Rugby Players.
2021
ABSTRACT Alonso-Aubin, DA, Picon-Martinez, M, Rebullido, TR, Faigenbaum, AD, Cortell-Tormo, JM, and Chulvi-Medrano, I. Integrative neuromuscular training enhances physical fitness in 6- to 14-year-old rugby players. J Strength Cond Res 35(8): 2263-2271, 2021-The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of an 8-week integrative neuromuscular training (INT) program on physical fitness measures in young rugby players. A sample of 138 male rugby players (age range, 6-14 years) was divided into 5 age-related groups: group 1 (G1) (n = 20; age, 7.05 ± 0.58), group 2 (G2) (n = 27; age, 8.57 ± 0.49), group 3 (G3) (n = 31; age, 11.02 ± 0.56), group 4 (G4) (n = 33; age, 13.12 ± 0.58, and group …

Education and working life: VET adults' problem-solving skills in technology-rich environments
2015
The rapidly-advancing technological landscape in the European workplace is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. Workers with vocational education and training need flexible abilities to solve problems in technology-rich work settings. This study builds on Finnish PIAAC data to understand adults' (N?=?4503) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The results indicate the critical issue that more than two thirds of adults with vocational education and training have weak skills or lack the skills in solving problems in technology-rich environments and that more than one fifth of these adults are at risk. Furthermore, this study indicates that the likelihood of havin…
