Comparison of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour between Schoolchildren with Cystic Fibrosis and Healthy Controls: A Gender Analysis
2021
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in sports participation and the levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) between schoolchildren with cystic fibrosis (CF) and a healthy control group (CG) taking into account the gender variable. PA and SB were measured with an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days in 44 children (24 girls
A Dual-Process Model Applied to Two Health-Promoting Nutrition Behaviours
2021
We tested a dual process model incorporating constructs that reflect both performing the target behaviour (behaviour directed habit) and habits that run counter to the target behaviour (opposing behaviour habit) in accounting for variance in two health behaviours: eating the recommended serves of fruits and vegetables a day and restricting sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. A prospective correlational design with two waves of data collection separated by one week was adopted. Participants (N = 606) comprising middle school students (n = 266) and university students (n = 340) completed an initial survey comprising self-report measures of past behaviour, intention, and habit to perform the…
Early Antecedents of School Burnout in Upper Secondary Education : A Five-year Longitudinal Study
2020
AbstractSchool burnout symptoms are prevalent among upper secondary education students, but thus far, very little is known about the background of these symptoms. The present study examined the extent to which school burnout symptoms (i.e., exhaustion and cynicism) among upper secondary education students have their roots in primary and lower secondary school and whether early antecedents of school burnout symptoms could be identified. The sample consisted of 1544 Finnish students followed up four times (Time1–Time 4) from the end of primary school (T1; mean age 12.74 and range 11.71–14.20) to the first year of upper secondary education (T4; mean age 16.66 and range 15.55–18.39). The result…
Student–teacher dialectic in the co-creation of a zone of proximal development: an example from kindergarten mathematics
2020
This paper reports on a case study which explores the co-creation of a zone of proximal development (ZPD) in a mathematics teaching-learning activity in a Norwegian kindergarten. To capture the com...
Investigación en la escuela
2009
La investigación en Didáctica de las Matemáticas estudia los diferentes factores que influyen en la comprensión y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas por individuos de cualquier edad y nivel educativo. Esto supone un amplio campo de trabajo que incluye factores relacionados con los propios estudiantes, con los profesores, con el contexto de las aulas, y con el entorno social, cultural y político de los estudiantes. En este artículo se hace una descripción global de la actividad investigadora actual y una descripción más detallada de algunas áreas de investigación específicas. Research in Mathematics Education deals with the diversity of factors influencing the understanding and learning of ma…
Homeostasis in school science: analysis of the subject and results of a proposal for classroom work
2016
El trabajo presenta un breve repaso del nacimiento del concepto de homeostasis en la historia de la fisiología. Se ha realizado un estudio de aula con estudiantes de tercer curso de secundaria apreciando las dificultades que estos presentan para construir una visión holista del concepto de homeostasis. La ciencia escolar porta una iconicidad múltiple, derivada del lenguaje experto, que en muchos casos se revela como un obstáculo para el aprendizaje de los estudiantes novatos. Siendo la homeostasis un concepto básico en la estructura del curriculum nacional se hace una llamada para ahondar en su investigación didáctica.
Las representaciones del saber académico: Aportaciones desde la Geografía Escolar
2019
When we talk with basic education´s teachers there is an impression in the case of learning Social Sciences, and Geography in particular that these sciences are not useful for the explanation of socio-environmental and daily problems. In this research, improvement proposals are sought so that students are motivated to learn about these problems. Based on two case studies such as flood risks (and their relationship with climate change) and the problems of the rural areas, the possibilities of combining motivation for learning close to personal emotions and with their own rigor have been explored of the conceptual explanation. To validate these results, quantitative and qualitative research t…
MODELLING AND ANALYSING STUDENT DROPOUT IN COLOMBIAN HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH POLICY AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT
The complexity of the phenomenon of student dropout in higher education requires several modeling techniques. In this doctoral dissertation, findings of blending mathematical, statistical and Dynamic Performance Management as modelling techniques are presented to allow a deeper comprehension of Colombian student dropout in higher education.

Proposer des révisions intersessions aux étudiants de 1ère année : quelles relations avec la réussite aux examens ?
2013
This paper assesses a revision programme proposed to unsuccessful students between the two examination sessions within the framework of the "Plan réussite en Licence" in first year at the University of Burgundy, both in terms of student participation and links with achievement. The low participation of students is not associated with particular student profiles. An analysis of the students' future shows that student participation in the revision programme led to a lower drop-out risk during the second examination session and greater success, but only as regards the examinations of the 2nd semester. It should also be noted that student participation also has positive effects in the mid-term …
