Background: This paper determines longitudinal changes in the time Spanish adolescents devote to moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and screen media activity (SMA). Moreover, it examines the displacement hypothesis between time spent on SMA and MVPA.Methods: A cohort of 755 adolescents participated in a prospective cohort study over a three‐year period. Repeated measures ANOVA to highlight interaction effects among all variables and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques were employed.Results: Age and gender‐related variations in longitudinal changes in time spent on MVPA and SMA evolved in the inverse direction (decreased on MVPA/increased on SMA) according to the ANOVA. The potential displacement between time spent on SMA and MVPA from Wave I to Wave II was analysed via SEM. The first model, estimated in the overall sample, showed no evidence for the displacement hypothesis. Subsequently, a multigroup sequence of panel models was performed and a partial displacement was observed only in boys. Hence, boys who spent more time on SMA were more likely to devote less time to MVPA three years later.Conclusion: This study confirms the opposite trend on the time spent on MVPA and SMA over a three‐year period, being clearly higher in SMA. Further SEM analyses reveal a deferred displacement hypothesis between SMA and MVPA only in boys. This partial gendered displacement may be linked to the different uses adolescents make of screen media. The incursion of new technological devices (smartphones or tablets) and their wide range of possibilities for social networking or gaming could explain this displacement

El mundo requiere personas con conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes que permitan un desarrollo completo de la ciudadanía en un ecosistema digital. Una respuesta educativa a esta exigencia social es la competencia digital. Así, esta finalidad exige niveles óptimos de desarrollo de la Competencia Digital Docente (CDD), en especial en el sector de la Formación Profesional (FP). Con la idea de atender este contexto educativo, en este trabajo se propone un marco de comprensión que integra de forma unitaria la visión sobre la pedagogía, los recursos y la evaluación para entender, evaluar y proponer mejoras en la competencia digital del profesorado de FP. Empleando un enfoque cualitativo, se realizaron once entrevistas en profundidad sobre la CDD del profesorado de FP de la provincia de Valencia (España). Estos datos fueron analizados desde la caracterización de 4 escenarios educativos con tecnología (aprendizaje individual, la enseñanza con TIC, aprendizaje colaborativo y autoaprendizaje del alumnado). La principal conclusión detectada es que los docentes entrevistados tienen conocimientos de algunos recursos y aplicaciones tecnológicas, actitud y capacidad para incorporarlos a su práctica docente. En cambio, no integran la tecnología en la evaluación de los aprendizajes al mismo nivel competencial que en las otras dimensiones. World requires people with knowledge, skills and attitudes that allow a full development of citizenship in a digital ecosystem. An educational response to this social demand is digital competence. Thus, this purpose requires optimal levels of Digital Teaching Competence (DTC), especially in the Vocational Education Training (VET) sector. With the aim of ​​attending to this educational context, this work proposes a understanding framework that integrates the vision of pedagogy, resources and evaluation to understand, evaluate and propose improvements in the digital competence of VET teachers. Using a qualitative approach, eleven in-depth interviews were conducted on the DTC of VET teachers in the province of Valencia (Spain). These data were analysed from the categorization of 4 educational scenarios with technology (individual learning, teaching with ICT, collaborative learning and student self-learning). The main conclusion detected is that interviewed teachers have knowledge of some technological resources and applications, attitude and ability to incorporate them into their teaching practice. However, they do not integrate technology in the learning assessment at the same competence level as in the other dimensions.

El presente estudio adopta un enfoque cualitativo para profundizar en la mejora de la convivencia y la gestión de conflictos desde el área de Educación Física y la tutoría. A partir de una evaluación diagnóstica, se diseñó una Unidad Didáctica innovadora en la que se hibridaron los modelos pedagógicos de Educación aventura y Aprendizaje cooperativo, introduciendo el contenido de educación emocional en una clase de 1º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. De forma paralela, se realizó un proceso de investigación basada en un estudio de caso en el que se recogieron las percepciones y valoraciones de la experiencia de innovación del alumnado, del docente especialista de la asignatura y se triangularon con el registro anecdótico observacional del investigador. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian una contribución positiva en la formación de un alumnado que mostraba carencias en la convivencia y la resolución de conflictos, observándose mejoras en su educación emocional. Además, la hibridación de modelos pedagógicos se ha mostrado como una buena contribución a la didáctica de la Educación Física, en la medida en la que permite la integración de contenidos transversales y propios de la asignatura de Educación Física. The present study adopts a qualitative approach to deepen the enhance of coexistence and conflict management from the area of Physical Education and tutoring. Based on a diagnostic evaluation, an innovative Didactic Unit was designed in which the pedagogical models of Adventure Education and Cooperative Learning were hybridized, introducing the content of social and emotional learning in a 1st Obligatory Secondary Education curse. In parallel, a research process based on as a case study was carried out in which the perceptions and appreciations of the innovation experience of the students, the specialist teacher of the subject were collected and triangulated with the observational anecdotal record of the researcher. The results show a positive contribution in the behavioural training of a student body that showed deficiencies in coexistence and conflict resolution, observing improvements in their emotional education. In addition, the hybridization of pedagogical models has been shown as a good contribution to the didactics of Physical Education, insofar as it allows the integration of both, cross-sectional and own contents of the Physical Education subject.

The aims of this study were twofold: (i) to examine differences in physical activity (PA) variables regarding the length of Physical Education (PE) lessons (45 vs. 90 min) and teaching methodology (Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) or hybrid TGfU-sports education (SE)); and (ii) to estimate the percentage of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous (MV) PA assessed via an accelerometer based on total step count, BMI, age, and sex, considering the pedagogical models and the class length. This study was carried out in three classes of invasion games in PE. Two classes were taught based on TGfU (44 students, 18 males, 12.6 ± 0.55), and one was taught based on a hybrid TGfU-SE (17 students, 9 males, 13.7 ± 0.90). The same students were assessed twice, first in a 45 min class and then in a 90 min class. The students’ MVPA was assessed using the Actigraph GT3X Activity Monitor. The results revealed significant differences in PA intensity regarding the length of the PE lesson (45 vs. 90 min) and the teaching methodology. The 45 min classes using TGfU were more intense and had less sedentary time than the 90 min classes. When using a hybrid TGfU-SE, the 90 min classes had higher intensities than the 45 min classes. Generally, when comparing the two types of pedagogical intervention, the TGfU model provided more active lessons and less sedentary time in class than a hybrid TGfU-SE. The TGfU model is more profitable for increasing MVPA in class. Due to the issues related to the organization and management of sports practice in class, several recommendations for maximizing MVPA in a hybrid TGfU-SE class must be considered.

This study examined longitudinal changes in physical activity, sedentary behavior and body mass index in adolescents, specifically their migrations towards a different weight cluster. A cohort of 755 adolescents participated in a three-year study. A clustering Self-Organized Maps Analysis was performed to visualize changes in subjects’ characteristics between the first and second assessment, and how adolescents were grouped. Also a classification tree was used to identify the behavioral characteristics of the groups that changed their weight cluster. Results indicated that boys were more active and less sedentary than girls. Boys were especially keen to technological-based activities while girls preferred social-based activities. A moderate competing effect between sedentary behaviors and physical activities was observed, especially in girls. Overweight and obesity were negatively associated with physical activity, although a small group of overweight/obese adolescents showed a positive relationship with vigorous physical activity. Cluster migrations indicated that 22.66% of adolescents changed their weight cluster to a lower category and none of them moved in the opposite direction. The behavioral characteristics of these adolescents did not support the hypothesis that the change to a lower weight cluster was a consequence of an increase in time devoted to physical activity or a decrease in time spent on sedentary behavior. Physical activity and sedentary behavior does not exert a substantial effect on overweight and obesity. Therefore, there are other ways of changing to a lower-weight status in adolescents apart from those in which physical activity and sedentary behavior are involved.
