Diagnóstico de la ambientalización curricular en una muestra de centros de educación secundaria de la provincia de Valencia

El diagnóstico en ambientalización curricular (AC) es el paso previo y principal para poder detectar las necesidades y cambios necesarios que deben llevarse a cabo en los centros educativos, con el fin de conseguir así un nivel de AC aceptable. Hasta el momento, los estudios realizadosen los centros educativos de la provincia de Valencia son insuficientes. La ambientalización curricular es una herramienta muy importante con la que los centros pueden transmitir a sus alumnos y al resto de la comunidad educativa los valores de la sostenibilidad. En esta comunicaciónse presenta una visión general del estado en el que se encuentrauna muestra de centros de Educación Secundaria de la provincia de Valencia respecto a la AC,como paso previo a plantear programas de acción que permitan implantar la AC de forma más generalizada

Adaptation and validation of a scale to assess digital teaching competence in soccer coaches

Since 2015, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has held a convention with the aim of updating its technical qualifications for the training of its football coaches. It has proposed widespread changes, but with a particular recommendation for the creation of a subject about New Technologies. This proposal is in line with the natural evolution of today's society and with an increasing digital presence in all professional fields. The overarching concern for quality teaching in digital competences involves, first and foremost, the necessary adoption of these digital competences by their trainers. As a result, the aim of this research is to adapt and validate a scale, previously validated in other training contexts, to assess the digital teaching competence (hereafter, DTC) of soccer coaches. The study sample consists of 612 coaches at different levels who are registered in the Football Federation of the Valencian Community (hereafter, FFCV). The sample contains a higher percentage of men (91.7%) than women (8.3%) and a mean age of 30.88 years. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, which revealed five factors grouping 31 indicators: Information and Literacy (5 items), Communication and Collaboration (6 items), Digital Content Creation (9 items), Security (6 items) and Problem Solving (5 items). Goodness-of-Fit indicators showed adequate values: (x2 /gl=2.82); RMSA= 0.6 (Confidence Interval= 0.6-0.7); CFI=.91; IFI= .91. Reliability was tested by Composite Reliability, Cronbach's Alpha and Mean Variance Extracted values. The results of the research support the reliability and validity of the questionnaire that was adapted for the purpose of assessing the digital teaching competence of soccer coaches.Educació

El "aprendizaje basado en problemas" como metodología para el aprendizaje de la UD "salud y enfermedad" en 3º de ESO. Estudio en un centro educativo de Valencia

Se pretende abordar los contenidos relativos a la salud y enfermedad contemplados en el currículo oficial de Biología de 3º de ESO desde un plano más práctico e innovador convirtiendo al estudiante en el principal actor del proceso de aprendizaje. Por otra parte, este cambio en la metodología permite trabajar a través y para la consecución de algunas de las competencias clave. Esto se realiza, entre otras actividades, mediante un proyecto de investigación propuesto a los alumnos a través del cual se trabajarán conceptos como Enfermedad Cardiovascular, Factor de Riesgo, Prevención, Salud Pública y Hábitos de Vida Saludable, realizando búsquedas bibliográficas y el diseño de encuestas para un estudio de comparación de riesgos entre dos poblaciones. Posteriormente se procede a la elaboración de un plan de prevención basado en hábitos de vida saludable y prevención secundaria

El medio ambiente en las aulas de secundaria y bachillerato. Estudio de caso sobre la transversalidad en un centro educativo de Valencia

La educación ambiental (EA) puede ser considerada una de las principales herramientas para que los alumnos y ciudadanos del futuro sean responsables desde el punto de vista socioambiental. Es en la etapa de la educación secundaria cuando los alumnos deben, entre otros, adquirir los conocimientos, hábitos y conciencia socioambiental deseables. La legislación educativa recoge la educación ambiental como un fin a alcanzar en la etapa de secundaria. Por todo esto se ha llevado a cabo un análisis del tratamiento de la educación ambiental en las aulas de secundaria de un colegio de Valencia a través de la evaluación de la inclusión de los temas ambientales en los libros y programaciones de aula, así como utilizando cuestionarios dirigidos a los alumnos. El análisis de los cuestionarios que recogen algunos de los contenidos conceptuales referentes a EA y la percepción de los alumnos sobre la transversalidad en la implementación de la EA permite conocer el estado de la EA en las aulas de secundaria

The 16th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra

This paper documents the 16th data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of data from the Southern Hemisphere survey of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2); new data from APOGEE-2 North are also included. DR16 is also notable as the final data release for the main cosmological program of the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), and all raw and reduced spectra from that project are released here. DR16 also includes all the data from the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey and new data from the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Survey programs, both of which were co-observed on eBOSS plates. DR16 has no new data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey (or the MaNGA Stellar Library "MaStar"). We also preview future SDSS-V operations (due to start in 2020), and summarize plans for the final SDSS-IV data release (DR17)

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality
