Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased. The current study aims to assess the differences in fear of COVID-19, anxiety, neuroticism, and general self-efficacy between university students who practiced PA during the second wave of lockdown and those who did not practice any PA. Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …
Pedagogical practices predicting perceived learning of social skills among university students
2022
The aim of this study was to examine what kinds of pedagogical practices predict perceived learning of university students’ social skills in classes where these skills are not set as learning outcomes. Data were collected from students of various disciplines by means of a questionnaire and then analysed using regression analysis. Students’ learning of social skills was explained by pedagogical factors related to 1) the modes of teaching and learning, 2) the features of the constructivist learning environment, 3) the features of the integrative pedagogy, and 4) the circumstances pertaining to the atmosphere of the learning environments involved in their studies. Factors belonging to three of…
"Service-learning" within Physical Education university degrees: Physical exercise for elderly people
2016
La sociedad actual demanda cada vez más una participación ciudadana con carácter social hacia colectivos en riesgo de exclusión social. La universidad, apelando a su responsabilidad social en el ámbito docente, debería facilitar dicha participación y fomentar en el alumnado la transmisión de valores tanto éticos como de concienciación hacia los demás. Un método pedagógico útil para cristalizar este compromiso firme con determinados colectivos que realmente lo necesitan es el «aprendizaje-servicio» (en adelante ApS). En este contexto, el presente estudio justifica la idoneidad y viabilidad de desarrollar proyectos de ApS con el colectivo de personas mayores dentro de los grados universitario…
Promuovere le competenze strategiche e il successo accademico degli studenti universitari mediante il tutoraggio tra pari online a distanza
2021
Il 26 febbraio 2021 è stata avviata una ricerca-intervento ispirata alla teoria dell’educazione personalizzata. Attualmente, 19 studenti (17 femmine e 2 maschi) del secondo anno del corso di studi triennale in Scienze dell’Educazione attivato presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo, stanno partecipando in qualità di peer-tutor a una iniziativa di didattica universitaria. Questa iniziativa persegue due obiettivi: promuovere l’autoefficacia percepita (GSE), la percezione delle proprie competenze strategiche (QPCS) e la prospettiva temporale (ZTPI) in un gruppo di 35 studenti che, giunti al secondo anno del medesimo corso di studi, non hanno ancora sostenuto da 1 a 6 esami tra quelli previs…
Promoting Students’ Health at University: Key Stakeholders, Cooperation, and Network Development
2021
Background: Cooperation among university units is considered a cornerstone for the promotion of students' health. The underlying mechanisms of health-promoting networks at universities have rarely been examined so far. Shedding light on partnerships is generally limited to the naming of allied actors in a network. Objectives and Methods: In this study, we used network analysis intending to visualize and describe the positions and characteristics of the network actors, and examine organizational relationships to determine the characteristics of the complete network. Results: The network analysis at hand provides in-depth insights into university structures promoting students' health comprisi…

Aprendre a la ciutat a través de la deriva
2014
La deriva ha estat la inspiració i el camí per a profunditzar en l¿apre- nentatge que suposa caminar la ciutat. Els passos que anàvem donant ens han portat a replantejar-nos diferents aspectes educatius que transcendeixen les nostres pretensions inicials. Partim dels estudis crítics i postcrítics del currí- culum, i així, a poc a poc, hem anat aproximant-nos a la recerca, la pedagogia o la didàctica. Tota aquesta experiència gira al voltant del taller «Educar la mirada/Documentar la ciutat» amb el qual hem caminat per diferents indrets de la nostra ciutat, al costat del professorat i l¿alumnat de diferents estudis de grau de les universitats valencianes. Volem pensar la ciutat a través del …
The Analysis of teachinpractices at school and at university
2011
It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…
Exploring drivers for Italian university students’ mobility: first evidence from AlmaLaurea data.
2021
This article is part of a national Project aimed at studying Italian university students’ mobility. The novelty proposed here lies in the use, for the first time, of individual data from the census surveys that the Alma Laurea consortium conducts on all Italian graduates. The advantage of this data consists of information that was previously unavailable. For example, information about the socio-economic conditions of the students’ parents, satisfaction with the Bachelor’s degree course and university services, and employment status recorded 1, 3, and 5 years after graduation. Here we report the first analyses conducted on the data relating to the University of Palermo Bachelors who enrolled…
