Programa “Aulas Felices” en Educación Infantil: intervención educativa en gestión emocional

El eje central de este trabajo se fundamenta en el análisis teórico conocido hasta la fecha acerca del programa Aulas Felices y, su posterior aplicación, incluyendo aspectos englobados dentro de la Psicología Positiva, la Atención Plena o Mindfulness y las Fortalezas Personales de Seligman. Finalmente, se muestra una propuesta de intervención adaptada para ser llevada a cabo en un aula de 3º de Educación Infantil. Cuya finalidad es fomentar en dicha aula el uso de las técnicas desarrolladas en el programa que hacen referencia a los diversos autores y metodologías. <br /

Las Semillas de Presencia en el aula de Educación Infantil

Este trabajo de Fin de Grado, constituye una revisión teórica de las investigaciones sobre la Psicología Positiva, fortalezas personales y la Atención Plena o Mindfulness, aplicada al ámbito educativo y concretamente a la etapa de Educación Infantil. También, se ha planteado una propuesta de intervención donde se trabaja el mindfulness a través las semillas de presencia, para demostrar así, los beneficios que se obtienen con esta práctica. La propuesta de intervención ha sido llevada a cabo en un aula de 3º de Educación Infantil, donde los niños y niñas a través de diversas actividades han podido trabajar el mindfulness.<br /

“PROPUESTA DE INTERVENCIÓN EDUCATIVA CON EL FIN DE MEJORAR LAS HABILIDADES SOCIALES EN ALUMNOS CON TRASTORNO DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA (TEA)”

Este trabajo de fin de grado se basa en proponer una intervención educativa para mejorar las habilidades sociales de un alumno con Trastorno del Espectro autista de seis años, escolarizado en un colegio ordinario en un aula de tercero de infantil. Tras un estudio sobre una serie de metodologías de intervención para alumnos TEA, hemos decidido basarnos en algunos aspectos de la metodología TEACCH. Gracias a la realización de las prácticas en esta misma aula, pude trabajar con un alumno TEA y descubrir e interesarme mucho más sobre este trastorno. Gracias a la oportunidad que me brinda este centro, hemos podido llevar a cabo una observación directa del alumno que ha sido clave para la realización de la propuesta de intervención, ajustada a las necesidades de nuestro alumno. <br /

Prevención del sobrepeso y obesidad infantil : actividades sedentarias

Comportamiento sedentario en los niños en edad preescolar y su prevención desde la escuela

Experimental Evidence on the Impact of Food Advertising on Children&apos;s Knowledge about and Preferences for Healthful Food

To understand the rising prevalence of childhood obesity in affluent societies, it is necessary to take into account the growing obesity infrastructure, which over past decades has developed into an obesogenic environment. This study examines the effects of one of the constituent factors of consumer societies and a potential contributory factor to childhood obesity: commercial food communication targeted to children. Specifically, it investigates the impact of TV advertising on children&apos;s food knowledge and food preferences and correlates these findings with their weight status. Evaluations of traditional information-and education-based interventions suggest that they may not sustainably change food patterns. Based on prior consumer research, we propose five hypotheses, which we then test using a subsample from the IDEFICS study, a large-scale pan-European intervention study on childhood obesity. The results indicate that advertising has divergent effects on children&apos;s food knowledge and preferences and that food knowledge is unrelated to food preferences. This finding has important implications for both future research and public policy

Using the intervention mapping protocol to develop a community-based intervention for the prevention of childhood obesity in a multi-centre European project: the IDEFICS intervention

Background: The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased during the past decades and is now considered an urgent public health problem. Although stabilizing trends in obesity prevalence have been identified in parts of Europe, preventive efforts in children are still needed. Using the socio-ecological approach as the underlying theoretical perspective, the IDEFICS project aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based intervention for the prevention of childhood obesity in eight European countries. The aim of the present manuscript was to describe the content and developmental process of the IDEFICS intervention. Methods: The intervention mapping protocol (IMP) was used to develop the community-based intervention for the prevention of childhood obesity in 3 to 10 years old children. It is a theory-and evidence-based tool for the structured planning and development of health promotion programs that requires the completion of six different steps. These steps were elaborated by two coordinating centers and discussed with the other participating centers until agreement was reached. Focus group research was performed in all participating centers to provide an informed basis for intervention development. Results: The application of the IMP resulted in an overall intervention framework with ten intervention modules targeting environmental and personal factors through the family, the school and the community. The summary results of the focus group research were used to inform the development of the overall intervention. The cultural adaptation of the overall intervention was realised by using country specific focus group results. The need for cultural adaptation was considered during the entire process to improve program adoption and implementation. A plan was developed to evaluate program effectiveness and quality of implementation. Conclusions: The IDEFICS project developed a community-based intervention for the prevention of childhood obesity by using to the intervention mapping heuristic. The IDEFICS intervention consists of a general and standardized intervention framework that allows for cultural adaptation to make the intervention feasible and to enhance deliverability in all participating countries. The present manuscript demonstrates that the development of an intervention is a long process that needs to be done systematically. Time, human resources and finances need to be planned beforehand to make interventions evidence-based and culturally relevant
