Perfectionism and affect as determinants of self-perceived motor competence in primary school children
The aim of this study was to analyze the primary school students’ perception of their motor competence in the area of Physical Education, with respect to the affective domain and improvement. The sample consisted of 428 primary school students aged between 8 and 12 years (M=10.43; SD=0.837) (Castilla La Mancha, Spain). Perceived motor competence (PMC) was measured by the Perception of Competence Questionnaire (POC); perfectionism was measured by the three subscales of the Child Perfectionism Questionnaire, and, finally, affectivity was assessed by the PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) questionnaire. Positive correlations were obtained between all the dimensions of the PMC and self-improvement (p<.05). Significant gender differences were found in the PMC dimension Peers and Self-Experience, with higher scores in males (p<.05). Differences were also found in the PMC dimension Peers as a function of weight status, being lower in the overweight group (p<.05). Age was related to self-experience being higher the older one was (p<.05). A model was generated that explained 23.7% of PMC with the total dimension of self-improvement and weight status. Three distinct profiles, called high, medium and low self-improvement, were detected. These groups in turn showed an analogy in perceived motor competence, high, medium and low, the result also obtained in the regression analysis (p<.05). These results extend the relationship between perceived motor competence and self-improvement in primary school children and are potentially of interest to the fields of education and psychology

EMOCIONES PERCIBIDAS, POR ALUMNOS Y MAESTROS, EN EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA EN 6.º CURSO DE PRIMARIA
The present study shows the results and main findings on the most common self-perceived emotions among students and teachers in P. E. (Physical Education) lessons in Primary Education (6th grade). The purpose is to plan successful emotional programmes, both for students and teachers. The sample consisted of 376 students in 6th grade of Primary Education and 14 P. E. teachers. The questionnaire and the semantic differential were used as measurement tools. The results show that students and teachers experience pleasant emotions during the lessons. However, it is the students who mainly and more intensely experience them. Concerning teachers, there is a greater heterogeneity concerning the emotions felt. Thus, the emotions experienced by this group are less pleasant than those of the students. With regard to unpleasant emotions, students show a rather limited identification with this kind of emotions, whereas teachers experience unpleasant emotions with greater intensity.El presente trabajo ofrece los resultados y las principales conclusiones sobre el estudio de las emociones autopercibidas que predominan en los alumnos y maestros en las clases de Educación Física en 6.º curso de Educación Primaria. Ello posibilitará planificar con éxito programas efectivos de educación emocional en ambos colectivos. La muestra la componen 376 alumnos de 6.º curso de Educación Primaria y 14 maestros que imparten clases de Educación Física a dichos alumnos. Los instrumentos de medida han sido conjuntamente el cuestionario y el diferencial semántico. Los resultados revelan que alumnos y profesores experimentan emociones placenteras en la asignatura de Educación Física. No obstante, son los alumnos quienes experimentan este tipo de emociones de manera más intensa y mayoritaria.En los profesores existe una mayor heterogeneidad de emociones; paralelamente, las emociones experimentadas por este grupo resultan ser menos placenteras que las de los alumnos. Respecto a las emociones displacenteras, los alumnos manifiestan una identificación bastante limitada con las mismas, siendo los maestros quienes experimentan este tipo de emociones con una intensidad mayor
Representational task formats and problem solving strategies in kinematics and work
Previous studies have reported that students employed different problem solving approaches when presented with the same task structured with different representations. In this study, we explored and compared students’ strategies as they attempted tasks from two topical areas, kinematics and work. Our participants were 19 engineering students taking a calculus-based physics course. The tasks were presented in linguistic, graphical, and symbolic forms and requested either a qualitative solution or a value. The analysis was both qualitative and quantitative in nature focusing principally on the characteristics
of the strategies employed as well as the underlying reasoning for their applications. A comparison was also made for the same student’s approach with the same kind of representation across the two topics.
Additionally, the participants’ overall strategies across the different tasks, in each topic, were considered. On the whole, we found that the students prefer manipulating equations irrespective of the representational format of the task. They rarely recognized the applicability of a ‘‘qualitative’’ approach to solve the
problem although they were aware of the concepts involved. Even when the students included visual representations in their solutions, they seldom used these representations in conjunction with the
mathematical part of the problem. Additionally, the students were not consistent in their approach for interpreting and solving problems with the same kind of representation across the two topical areas. The representational format, level of prior knowledge, and familiarity with a topic appeared to influence their
strategies, their written responses, and their ability to recognize qualitative ways to attempt a problem. The nature of the solution does not seem to impact the strategies employed to handle the problem
Development and Validation of the Overall Foot Health Questionnaire for Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Analysis
Background and Objectives: In general, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are ignorant of the physician’s role and of RA-related feet problems. The aim of our study was to validate a questionnaire on the knowledge of different aspects of overall foot health in patients with RA. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was carried out between March 2017 and April 2017. A questionnaire was designed and validated through the Delphi method to evaluate the knowledge about the illness, the repercussions on feet, medical podiatry care, and the role of
the medical podiatrist. Results: After being checked by a panel of experts, all the items obtained a Cronbach’s alpha over 0.70. Conclusions: The content of this questionnaire about the knowledge of different aspects of medical podiatry health in patients with RA has internal consistenc
Patrimonio, cultura material e innovación docente : Propuestas y experiencias
En aquest treball ens centrem en els usos del patrimoni històric educatiu, catàlegs
comercials de material d'ensenyament i exposicions pedagògiques que difonen
la cultura material de centres docents i dels seus professors com a recurs didàctic en
contextos formatius per propiciar l'adquisició de competències. El patrimoni històric
educatiu aporta un alt potencial instructiu i educatiu, i pot ser una eina pedagògica
en el treball a l'aula per a diferents nivells i modalitats educatius. És un mitjà apropiat
per analitzar les cultures escolars (la del coneixement científic dels experts, la política
institucional i la dels docents); ens informa de la història i l'evolució de les disciplines
escolars i el seu codi disciplinari; és un indicador de processos de canvi, reformes i
innovacions; ens ajuda a conèixer el que foren les pràctiques educatives pretèrites, els
estils d'ensenyament i les metodologies docents a l'aula i ens permet aprofundir en el
coneixement i la interpretació del passat en l'àmbit escolar. Així mateix, permet ser
utilitzat com a estratègia didàctica per a una educació patrimonial que contribueixi a
l'adquisició i el desenvolupament de capacitats que generin el coneixement, la comprensió,
el respecte, la cura i la conservació del patrimoni.In this paper we focus on the uses of historical-educational heritage, commercial
catalogues of teaching materials and pedagogical exhibitions that spread the material
culture of schools and its teachers as a teaching resource in learning contexts to promote
the acquisition of skills. The historical-educational heritage provides a high instructive
and teaching potential, and it can be a useful pedagogical work in the classroom
for different educational levels and modalities. It is an appropriate means to analyse
school cultures (such as that of the scientific knowledge of the experts, the politicalinstitutional
one and that of teachers). It tells us about the history and evolution of
school disciplines and the disciplinary code. It is an indicator of processes of change,
reform and innovation. It helps us to know bygone educational practices, teaching
styles and teaching methods in the classroom, enhancing deeper understanding and
interpretation of the past in schools. As well, it can be used as a teaching strategy for
heritage education that contributes to the acquisition and development of abilities that
generate knowledge, understanding, respect, and care and conservation of heritage.En este trabajo nos centramos en los usos del patrimonio histórico-educativo,

Interindustrial Structure and Economic Development. An Analysis from Network and Input-Output Perspectives
This paper studies inter-industry structures at national level by applying traditional input-output measures and also network analysis. The main objective is to attain a better understanding of economic processes by focusing on inter-industrial structures as a main explanatory factor of the observed international disparities in development. This study shows the existence of a fundamental inter-industrial structure, common to all countries. When comparing groups of countries, there are also structural differences that are in accordance with differences in development levels, in industrial specialization and in the structural position of some industrial sectors. Those differences have an impact on the countries’ unequal development processes. This study shows that both methodologies, input-output and network analyses, are complementary and allow to attain more advanced explanations of the processes of development. By applying network theory it is possible to improve our knowledge on structural differences and its relation with economic growth and development.En este trabajo se estudian diversas estructuras interindustriales nacionales aplicando medidas tradicionales input-output y análisis de redes. Su principal objetivo es avanzar en la comprensión de los procesos económicos centrándose en las estructuras interindustriales como un factor explicativo de las disparidades internacionales de desarrollo. El estudio de las relaciones intersectoriales muestra la existencia de una estructura fundamental o común y de diferencias estructurales entre grupos de países, de acuerdo con sus niveles de desarrollo, en la especialización y en la posición de determinadas ramas, teniendo un impacto en sus desiguales procesos de desarrollo. En este trabajo se muestra que ambas metodologías, input-output y redes, son complementarias y permiten alcanzar explicaciones más ricas de los procesos de desarrollo. La aplicación de la teoría de redes permite una mejor comprensión de las diferencias estructurales, que puede ser relacionada con el crecimiento económico y el desarrollo
