Aprendizaje cooperativo en Educación Física. Transmisión de valores

Mediante el presente documento de trabajo, se pretende dar cuenta de la importancia que tiene el uso de novedosas metodologías, frente a las tradicionales pautas para el aprendizaje que se vienen dando en los centros durante los últimos años, así como la necesidad de llevarlas a cabo por lo enriquecedoras, favorables y ventajosas que resultan. En concreto aquí hablaremos del Aprendizaje Cooperativo, una creciente pero ya conocida metodología que tras años de investigaciones y experiencias puede confirmarse que posee un fondo extraordinario, pues los valores que de su uso se derivan son los propios de una Cultura de la Paz, quizá utópica hoy en día pero cada vez más necesaria en el mundo actual. Para ello, en primer lugar se hará un breve repaso de la actual situación de la Educación en Valores así como más detalladamente de la Educación Física escolar en Europa y en España,asignatura clave esta última, haciendo previsible la necesidad de una nueva metodología desde la cual se pretende inculcar en los alumnos una serie de valores "positivos", hasta ahora omitidos en la enseñanza por lo general, y el rechazo a los valores "negativos"

Multicentre, randomised, single-blind, parallel group trial to compare the effectiveness of a Holter for Parkinson's symptoms against other clinical monitoring methods: study protocol

Introduction In recent years, multiple studies have aimed to develop and validate portable technological devices capable of monitoring the motor complications of Parkinson's disease patients (Parkinson's Holter). The effectiveness of these monitoring devices for improving clinical control is not known. Methods and analysis This is a single-blind, cluster-randomised controlled clinical trial. Neurologists from Spanish health centres will be randomly assigned to one of three study arms (1:1:1): (a) therapeutic adjustment using information from a Parkinson?s Holter that will be worn by their patients for 7 days, (b) therapeutic adjustment using information from a diary of motor fluctuations that will be completed by their patients for 7 days and (c) therapeutic adjustment using clinical information collected during consultation. It is expected that 162 consecutive patients will be included over a period of 6 months. The primary outcome is the efficiency of the Parkinson?s Holter compared with traditional clinical practice in terms of Off time reduction with respect to the baseline (recorded through a diary of motor fluctuations, which will be completed by all patients). As secondary outcomes, changes in variables related to other motor complications (dyskinesia and freezing of gait), quality of life, autonomy in activities of daily living, adherence to the monitoring system and number of doctor?patient contacts will be analysed. The noninferiority of the Parkinson's Holter against the diary of motor fluctuations in terms of Off time reduction will be studied as the exploratory objective. Ethics and dissemination approval for this study has been obtained from the Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge Ethics Committee. The results of this study will inform the practical utility of the objective information provided by a Parkinson's Holter and, therefore, the convenience of adopting this technology in clinical practice and in future clinical trials. We expect public dissemination of the results in 2022.Funding This work is supported by AbbVie S.L.U, the Instituto de Salud Carlos III [DTS17/00195] and the European Fund for Regional Development, 'A way to make Europe'
