Students' physical activity and school-related social factors

The school-based promotion of physical activity (PA) is a great opportunity to reach the majority of school-aged children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in PA and school-related social factors, as well as their associations in school-aged children in schools which participated in the Finnish Schools on the Move programme and its pilot phase in 2010–2012. Furthermore, school-based actions for PA promotion and staff experiences in the pilot schools were investigated. The data were collected as part of the follow-up of the national Finnish Schools …

Dalla scuola educante alla comunità accogliente: percorsi di alleanza educativa per i minori migranti soli
2022
L’esperienza della solitudine e della famiglia mancante è vissuta da molti uomini e donne migranti. A maggior ragione, quella della famiglia mancante o assente, è un’esperienza che necessita di essere compresa, dal punto di vista educativo, quando è vissuta da adolescenti migranti soli o non accompagnati. Quella degli adolescenti migranti soli è un’esistenza a rischio di invisibilità, mediata dal rapporto tra la comunità di accoglienza, la famiglia di origine, ove è presente, e le altre agenzie educative, come ad esempio la scuola, ed è orientata verso la ricerca di nuovi equilibri tra il mantenimento di un legame stabile con le figure di riferimento e i diritti di cui essi sono titolari.

The Associations between Physical Activity and Body-Esteem in 15-Year-Old Adolescents : A Cross-Sectional Study from Finland
2021
Purpose: Physical activity promotes a positive physical self-image, but less is known about whether the positive effect covers the general self-evaluation of adolescent appearance. This study aimed to further explore the associations between physical activity and body-esteem in Finnish adolescents, via a country-representative cross-sectional study design. Methods: The data for the study were drawn from the Finnish component of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study (2014), using surveys from 15-year-old adolescents (n=1956, mean age 15.8 years) from 122 schools. Self-evaluations of body or appearance were measured by the Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESA…
