A Relação Entre a Motivação Docente e Variáveis Organizacionais: Revisão da Literatura

La motivación docente ocupa un papel central en el área de la educación, sobre todo por su impacto en la motivación de los alumnos. La mayoría de las revisiones anteriores sobre este tema se han centrado en variables individuales e indicadores de psicopatología. Es importante analizar las variables de la organización asociadas a la motivación docente, ya que estas subrayan la importancia del contexto donde está el docente. Esta revisión de la literatura ha procurado recoger los estudios, publicados entre 1990-2014 y disponibles en varias bases de datos, que relacionan la motivación docente y una serie predefinida de variables de la organización. Los resultados muestran que la cultura de la organización ha sido la variable más estudiada, que la mayoría de los estudios se publicó entre 2010-2014 y que los métodos cuantitativos fueron predominantes. Se presentan las implicaciones teórico-prácticas de los hallazgos y se realizan sugerencias para investigaciones futuras.A motivação docente ocupa um papel central na área da educação, especialmente pelo seu impacto na motivação dos alunos. Revisões anteriores sobre este tema focaram-se, maioritariamente, em variáveis individuais e indicadores de psicopatologia. Todavia, é importante analisar as variáveis organizacionais associadas à motivação docente, uma vez que estas salientam a importância do contexto onde o docente está inserido (i.e., a escola). Desta forma, a presente revisão da literatura procurou efetuar um levantamento dos estudos, publicados entre 1990-2014 e disponíveis em várias bases de dados eletrónicas, que relacionam a motivação docente e um conjunto pré-definido de variáveis organizacionais. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a cultura organizacional foi a variável mais estudada em conjunto com a motivação docente, a maioria dos estudos foi publicado entre 2010-2014 e que existiu um domínio de metodologias quantitativas. São apresentadas as implicações teórico-práticas dos resultados obtidos, bem como se indicam sugestões para futuras investigações.Teacher motivation plays a central role in education because ofitsimpacton student motivation.

Irregular meal timing is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and gastritis

Background Helicobacter pylori (HP) is associated with chronic gastritis and gastric cancer, and more than half of the world’s population is chronically infected. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate whether an irregular meal pattern is associated with increased risk of gastritis and HP infection. Methods The study involved 323 subjects, divided into three groups: subjects with HP infection and gastritis, with gastritis, and a control group. Subjects were interviewed on eating habits and meal timing. Multivariate logistic regression was used to compare groups. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were derived controlling for gender, age, stress and probiotic consumption. Results Subjects who deviated from their regular meals by 2 hours or more had a significantly higher incidence of HP infection with gastritis (adjusted OR= 13.3, 95% CI 5.3–33.3, p<0.001) and gastritis (adjusted OR=6.1, 95% CI 2.5–15.0, p<0.001). Subjects who deviated their meals by 2 hours or more, twice or more per week, had an adjusted OR of 6.3 and 3.5 of acquiring HP infection with gastritis (95% CI 2.6–15.2, p<0.001) and gastritis (95% CI 1.5–8.5, p<0.001) respectively. Conclusion Frequent deviation in meal timing over a prolonged period appears associated with increased risk of developing HP infection and gastritis
