The much-needed interest in promoting a healthy lifestyle among school-age students has found a context for development: school gardens. There are numerous studies where using gardens as a teaching–learning context also improves students’ performance in the experimental sciences. In this study, we proposed another interest that sets it apart and adds motivation: combining curricular mathematics with experimental science content in this context. The search for possible studies in the scientific literature has gave rise to the review presented herein. From this review, we obtained 21 studies, from which we extracted a series of categories: whether research was undertaken and with which tools; which curricular contents were covered and the impact produced; the ages of the participants and duration of the project; and, finally, whether the garden was cultivated. The main conclusion of this search was the lack of a clear line of research linking school gardens, the experimental sciences, and mathematics, in addition to the scant presence of studies framed in this context. For that reason, we send a call to action to the scientific community encouraging the interdisciplinarity of the two aforementioned subjects within the context of school gardens.

Este trabajo analiza los efectos de un proyecto de Aprendizaje Servicio (ApS) sobre la Competencia de Emprendimiento Social (CES) en alumnado de Educación Física. El estudio se aborda utilizando Métodos Mixtos con triangulación metodológica. El apartado cuantitativo utiliza el instrumento Social Entrepreneurship Competency Scale (Capella-Peris, Gil-Gómez, Martí-Puig, & Ruíz-Bernardo, 2019). El estudio cualitativo se desarrolla analizando los diarios reflexivos de los participantes. Los resultados cuantitativos proporcionan evidencias respecto al efecto positivo del ApS sobre la CES. El análisis cualitativo complementa esta visión reflejando cómo se desarrolló dicha competencia, por ejemplo, al liderar sesiones de juegos deportivos o a raíz del contacto directo con niños y niñas en riesgo de exclusión social. Además, la trasformación de resultados presenta una visión alternativa del beneficio generado.

Este estudio pretende trazar un perfil del alumnado que cursa el Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria en relación a sus hábitos en el uso de las tecnologías digitales, la percepción sobre su competencia digital, así como de las expectativas y actitudes hacia el uso de la tecnología en su ámbito personal y académico. Se realiza asimismo una comparación entre alumnos pertenecientes a dos planes de estudios distintos. Los datos se obtienen mediante el cuestionario INCOTIC 2.0. Tras el análisis de datos se evidencia el alto uso que hacen de la tecnología a través de dispositivos móviles y portátiles, especialmente en el ámbito de las relaciones sociales. Se muestra una buena actitud hacia el uso académico de la tecnología y una favorable expectativa de uso. En cuanto a la percepción de la competencia digital, destacan en las alfabetizaciones comunicativa y multimedia. Comparando ambos grupos, no se observan diferencias significativas en la mejora de la competencia digital, estas se limitan al ámbito comunicativo, las actitudes y las expectativas que tiene el estudiantado hacia las TIC. De acuerdo con los resultados, se propone incidir en la mejora de las áreas informacional y tecnológica, ambas fundamentales para su desarrollo profesional docente. This study aims to draw a profile of the students who are studying the Bachelor's Degree in Primary Education in relation to their habits in the use of digital technologies, the perception of their digital competence, as well as the expectations and attitudes towards the use of technology in their personal and academic environment. A comparison is also made between students belonging to two different study plans. The data is obtained through the INCOTIC 2.0 questionnaire. After data analysis, the high use they make of technology through mobile and portable devices is evident, especially in the field of social relationships. In addition, there is a good attitude towards the academic use of technology and a favorable expectation of use. Regarding the perception of digital competence, they stand out in communicative and multimedia literacies. However, in the comparison of both groups, no significant differences are observed in the improvement of digital competence, and these are limited to the communicative field of these technologies, attitudes and expectations that the students have towards digital technologies. According to the results, it is proposed to influence the improvement of the informational and technological areas, both vital for their teaching professional development.

From an early age, understanding proportional reasoning is a fundamental pillar in mathematics education, and therefore, teachers should have a thorough knowledge of it. Despite its significance, there are few studies that analyse the difficulties that student teachers have in understanding proportionality, and even less so inverse proportionality. We emphasised inverse missing-value problems by analysing them according to the type of unknown and the representation used. We checked which strategies they use to solve them and related them to other generic problems of proportional reasoning. For such purposes, we used a combined quantitative and qualitative empirical study applied to how pre-service teachers solve fifteen problems. The results show that the representations used in the statements aid their understanding and help solve the problems. Similarly, it is shown here that certain problem-solving strategies complicate proportional reasoning in pre-service teachers.
