Sleep Quality and Physical Activity as Predictors of Mental Wellbeing Variance in Older Adults during COVID-19 Lockdown:ECLB COVID-19 International Online Survey

Background. The COVID-19 lockdown could engender disruption to lifestyle behaviors, thus impairing mental wellbeing in the general population. This study investigated whether sociodemographic variables, changes in physical activity, and sleep quality from pre- to during lockdown were predictors of change in mental wellbeing in quarantined older adults. Methods. A 12-week international online survey was launched in 14 languages on 6 April 2020. Forty-one research institutions from Europe, Western-Asia, North-Africa, and the Americas, promoted the survey. The survey was presented in a differential format with questions related to responses "pre" and "during" the lockdown period. Participants responded to the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results. Replies from older adults (aged &gt;55 years, n = 517), mainly from Europe (50.1%), Western-Asia (6.8%), America (30%), and North-Africa (9.3%) were analyzed. The COVID-19 lockdown led to significantly decreased mental wellbeing, sleep quality, and total physical activity energy expenditure levels (all p &lt; 0.001). Regression analysis showed that the change in total PSQI score and total physical activity energy expenditure (F-(2,F- 514) = 66.41 p &lt; 0.001) were significant predictors of the decrease in mental wellbeing from pre- to during lockdown (p &lt; 0.001, R-2: 0.20). Conclusion. COVID-19 lockdown deleteriously affected physical activity and sleep patterns. Furthermore, change in the total PSQI score and total physical activity energy expenditure were significant predictors for the decrease in mental wellbeing.</p

Globally altered sleep patterns and physical activity levels by confinement in 5056 individuals:ECLB COVID-19 international online survey

Symptoms of psychological distress and disorder have been widely reported in people under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic; in addition to severe disruption of peoples' daily activity and sleep patterns. This study investigates the association between physical-activity levels and sleep patterns in quarantined individuals. An international Google online survey was launched in April 6th, 2020 for 12-weeks. Forty-one research organizations from Europe, North-Africa, Western-Asia, and the Americas promoted the survey through their networks to the general society, which was made available in 14 languages. The survey was presented in a differential format with questions related to responses "before" and "during" the confinement period. Participants responded to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. 5056 replies (59.4% female), from Europe (46.4%), Western-Asia (25.4%), America (14.8%) and North-Africa (13.3%) were analysed. The COVID-19 home confinement led to impaired sleep quality, as evidenced by the increase in the global PSQI score (4.37 +/- 2.71 before home confinement vs. 5.32 +/- 3.23 during home confinement) (p &lt; 0.001). The frequency of individuals experiencing a good sleep decreased from 61% (n = 3063) before home confinement to 48% (n = 2405) during home confinement with highly active individuals experienced better sleep quality (p &lt; 0.001) in both conditions. Time spent engaged in all physical-activity and the metabolic equivalent of task in each physical-activity category (i.e., vigorous, moderate, walking) decreased significantly during COVID-19 home confinement (p &lt; 0.001). The number of hours of daily-sitting increased by similar to 2 hours/days during home confinement (p &lt; 0.001). COVID-19 home confinement resulted in significantly negative alterations in sleep patterns and physical-activity levels. To maintain health during home confinement, physical-activity promotion and sleep hygiene education and support are strongly warranted.</p

Az informatika (programozás) oktatásának módszertani kérdései

AZ INFORMATIKA (PROGRAMOZÁS) OKTATÁSÁNAK MÓDSZERTANI KÉRDÉSEI Összefoglaló A disszertáció az informatika-, ezen belül a programozástudásnak definíciójára építve határozza meg az informatikaoktatás célját, a célhoz illeszkedő oktatási és tanulási módszereket, a képesség- és készségfejlesztési módokat és az informatikai tudás minősítésének szempontjait. A tézisek e rendszer alapjairól és kapcsolatukról szólnak: I. Az informatikatudomány gondolkodási módszereiben és eszközeiben egységes rendszert alkot, amelynek sikeres oktatásához tudományspecifikus oktatás-módszertan szükséges. II. Minden, informatikatantervben előírt témát informatikatudományi megközelítéssel oktatva együtt fejleszthető az informatikai gondolkodás, az alkalmazói készségek és a programozási készségek. III. A LAU alapú leírás, valamint ezek kombinációjaként a LAU-modell egy eszköz a tudás-, a készség- és a képességelemek, illetve a tanulási és tanítási folyamat leírására, jellemzésére. IV. Az informatikai gondolkodás – ezzel együtt a programozás – képességének a fejlesztését és gyakorlását a motiváció, az érzelmek, a mentális állapot katalizátorként segíti vagy blokkolja. A pedagógiai gyakorlatban – a tézisekből következően – az informatika és programozás oktatásának módszere nagymértékben egyénre, tanulóra szabott kell legyen

Technische Bildung im Sachunterricht der Grundschule

Technical education in primary school is a relevant topic for the Gesellschaft für Didaktik des Sachunterrichts (Society for the Didactics of Science Education in Primary Schools) - this is already shown by the designation of a separate perspective in the Perspektiverahmen Sachunterricht. However, research results in the field of technical learning can currently only be found sporadically. In research conferences on technical education that have been taking place since 2017, colleagues have presented research projects on children's learning preconditions and conditions, the impact of teaching settings, the importance of the interplay between thinking and acting, the importance of language in technical learning, children's abilities in the area of analytical thinking, etc. In addition, colleagues posed the question of how and whether schools have equipment available that would make technical education possible in the first place. These perspectives and (preliminary) research findings are summarised in this volume.Technische Bildung in der Grundschule ist für die Gesellschaft für Didaktik des Sachunterrichts ein relevantes Thema – dies zeigt schon die Ausweisung einer eigenen Perspektive im Perspektivrahmen Sachunterricht. Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich des Technischen Lernens findet man derzeit jedoch nur vereinzelt. In seit 2017 stattfindenden Forschungstagungen zur Technischen Bildung haben sich Kolleginnen und Kollegen in Forschungsprojekten mit Lernvoraussetzungen und -bedingungen von Kindern, Wirkweise von Unterrichtssettings, die Bedeutung des Zusammenspiels von Denken und Handeln, die Bedeutung der Sprache im technischen Lernen, Fähigkeiten von Kindern im Bereich des analytischen Denkens etc. vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus stellten sich Kolleginnen die Frage, wie und ob Schulen Ausstattungen zur Verfügung haben, die technische Bildung überhaupt erst ermöglichen würden. Diese Erkenntnisperspektiven und (vorläufigen) Forschungserkenntnisse sind in vorliegendem Band zusammengefasst. (DIPF/Orig.
