The need to adapt to new learning scenarios due to the impact of COVID-19 on our education system is undeniable. This fact means that we must adapt teaching to non-face-to-face scenarios in order to adapt the teaching processes without the students losing the acquisition of competences. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital application for the development of competences of primary education undergraduate students in a non-face-to-face teaching context derived from the pandemic through a service-learning project. To achieve this objective, a specific programme was designed using a collaborative platform. Numerous instruments were used to assess the acquisition of basic, specific, general and transversal competences. On a quantitative level, the Teamworks Skills Questionnaire and an evaluation rubric were used, and on a qualitative level, a student field diary, a survey to measure satisfaction and an observational record were used. The main results show that after the implementation of the use of the platform, both the level of competence of the students and their satisfaction with the project were very high and that the impact on their training was very positive. Among the main conclusions, we highlight that the use of this type of platform allows students to acquire competences in non-classroom contexts. On the other hand, we conclude that training in the use of digital tools in initial teacher training is necessary for good professional performance. On the other hand, this experience allowed future teachers to realise the need to master new technologies in order to be able to adapt to the new needs that different educational scenarios pose in the information society.

Social-emotional skills have been an important object of study in recent years due to their relationship with academic, personal and professional success. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between these skills and different influential variables. The participants had a mean age of 14.18 years. The instruments used were the Social Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ) and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PACQ-A). Generally, the results indicated gender differences and no influence of age. Those who engaged in after-school activities scored higher on social awareness. In addition, artistic and musical extracurricular activities were associated with social-emotional skills, whereas sports activities were not. It was also found that the physical activity index was not related to socioemotional factors, except in self-awareness and in a negative way. It is necessary to analyse the quality of the extracurricular programmes offered and the training of the professionals in charge of their development. It also seems important to take into account the gender perspective in competence work, increasing self-management in girls and relationship management in boys.

Socio-emotional skills seem to have an important influence on the academic performance of students. This performance is usually higher in girls than in boys. Our aim was to determine which socio-emotional skills influence academic performance and whether gender is a variable that can explain these differences. The results indicated that the socio-emotional skills of adolescents were high, highlighting self-awareness, relationship management, and decision-making. The lowest scores were in social awareness and self-management. Girls obtained higher grades, and students with higher grades had a higher level of social-emotional skills, except in self-management, where there were no differences. Self-management was greater in boys and relationship management was greater in girls. Students who failed did not differ from those who obtained very high results, except in decision-making. Overall, decision-making appeared to be the most important variable in students’ academic performance. Therefore, it would be necessary to design strategies that promote this ability in students. Hence, the adoption of active and collaborative methodologies that facilitate the achievement of this goal is suggested.

Background: Sedentarism is an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases. To avoid it, it is necessary to establish the barriers which influence a low level of practice of Physical Activity. Methods: This study, conducted with 833 students, aims to describe a model to explain the barriers determining the level of practice of Physical Activity in adolescents according to age, school year, BMI and gender. The inclusion of the analyzed barriers followed the tetra-factorial model: Body image/physical and social anxiety; Tiredness/laziness; Responsibilities/lack of time and Environment/facilities. Results: The barriers to Physical Activity in adolescents are fatigue and sloth, and temporary obligations. The barrier that least influences the practice of Physical Activity is the environment and body image. It is determined that the subjects with the lowest Physical Activity index were those with a high fatigue and laziness score and higher age. The level of physical activity of this population is medium (95% CI, 2.8274–2.9418). Conclusions: It is necessary to overcome tiredness or apathy towards the practice of Physical Activity, especially in those under 16 years of age.

Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be an important variable in achieving a good quality of life. The objective of this study was to determine adolescents’ perceptions of environmental barriers to PA based on age, gender, geographic location, body mass index (BMI), PA index, and whether they engage in sports or not. The sample was made up of 849 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years old. The PA Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A) and three questions on environmental barriers were used. Among the results, we should point out that adolescents hardly perceive any environmental barriers. There are no differences in the perception of barriers neither in terms of gender nor BMI. As adolescents get older, they consider that there are few recreational spaces, that the distance is not adequate, and that there is no accessibility to them or they do not encourage walking. The adolescents who perceive the greatest barriers are those who live in settlements of 10,000–50,000 inhabitants, especially those more linked to the neighborhood and to the accessibility and availability of spaces. It seems especially important to establish health policies in order to neutralize the barriers related to the accessibility and availability of spaces and the neighborhood-related barriers.

Este trabajo se centró en una revisión sobre estereotipos de género en Educación Física, poniendo el foco de atención en el colectivo de estudiantes. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscus, ERIC y PsyInfo, seleccionando artículos publicados entre 2005 y 2015. La muestra final fue de 25 documentos. Los datos revelaron la existencia de cuatro puntos de interés: el avance y resistencia al cambio de algunas creencias; la importancia de los estigmas y su repercusión en el comportamiento; la relación directa con contenidos y rendimiento; y, la figura del profesorado como agente reproductor. Se constató cierta evolución en algunos elementos, pero un avance general lento que hace urgente la puesta en práctica de alternativas de cambio profundo que aborden minuciosamente estos temas, en las que la perspectiva de género sea un eje determinante.

RESUMEN: Este trabajo estudia las imágenes en catálogos de juguetes infantiles, observando las diferencias de representación de niñas y niños en función del producto. La muestra es de 2.223 imágenes relativas a los períodos navideños de 2012 y 2015. La transmisión de estereotipos sigue vigente. Sin embargo, en algunas categorías de juguetes considerados clásicamente como masculinos o femeninos, se aprecian cambios interesantes, de forma que su representación no es tan exclusiva. Se observa, además, un importante incremento de imágenes mixtas, en las que niñas y niños comparten actividades. En este sentido, la variación más llamativa se da en la categoría de tareas domésticas. Así y todo, se hace hincapié en que este tipo de mensajes ha de ir más allá de la exposición de imágenes mixtas.

La finalidad principal de este trabajo es analizar algunas percepciones vinculadas al género en el contexto de la práctica deportiva. La muestra la componen 616 estudiantes de educación secundaria de Galicia. Se utiliza el cuestionario como instrumento de recogida de datos y la estrategia de análisis es la prueba de chi-cuadrado. Se ha demostrado la existencia de cierto avance en relación con los estereotipos tradicionales. Además, observamos diferencias significativas entre chicas y chicos a favor de ellas, que tienen menos prejuicios respecto a estas concepciones.
