De la práctica pedagógica instrumental a la práctica reflexiva en educación física: retos y posibilidades manifestados en investigaciones precedentes

The instrumental pedagogical practice constitutes a secular condition that takes place in education and the pedagogical exercise of physical education is permeated by this situation. Isolating ourselves from this conception implies investing in possibilities to overcome challenges that are part of teacher training and to value experiences that they develop in class based on new educational paradigms. This study aims to analyze research published between 2017 and 2019 in SCOPUS and in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel CAPES related to reflective pedagogical practice and its contributions to physical education. I regards to the methodology, a bibliographic research supported by the qualitative approach has been prioritized. Among the results, the studies point out that the reflexive approach to physical education depends on a link between thinking and doing and also indicate the relevance of linking teacher training to their own practices.La práctica pedagógica instrumental constituye una condición secular presente en la educación y el ejercicio pedagógico de la educación física es permeado por dicha situación. Aislarse de esta concepción implica invertir en posibilidades para superar retos presentes en la formación de los docentes y valorar experiencias que desarrollan en clase con base en nuevos paradigmas educacionales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar investigaciones publicadas entre 2017 y 2019 en SCOPUS y en el Catálogo de Tesis y Tesinas de la Coordinación para la Perfeccionamiento del Personal de Educación Superior CAPES relacionadas con la práctica pedagógica reflexiva y sus contribuciones a la educacion física. Metodológicamente se ha priorizado la investigación bibliográfica apoyada por el abordaje cualitativo. Entre los resultados, los estudios apuntan que en el abordaje reflexivo de educación física depende de una vinculación entre el pensar y el hacer e indican la relevancia de vincular la formación de los docentes a sus propias prácticas

Composition ID:p0020 of Friendship Networks and Health-Related Behaviors in Adolescents

This is a cross-sectional study conducted to examine the associations between the composition of friendship networks and health-related behaviors of 988 adolescents (11–18 years old) from Colombia. Participants were asked to self-report behaviors and to nominate their best friends. Egocentric network analysis (i.e., analysis of personal networks formed by egos and alters) was conducted to identify network composition (i.e., the proportion of network members with a particular attribute or behavior), and associations were analyzed with logistic regression models. Results show that network composition was associated with individual physical activity by boys and with consumption of fruits and vegetables, smoking, and drug use by girls. Regardless of gender, network composition was associated with screen time, fast-food consumption, excessive alcohol consumption, and having had sexual intercourse. These findings highlight the role of the social and behavioral environment in health-related behaviors in adolescents

Academic performance and social networks of adolescents in a caribbean city in Colombia

Abstract Background Social factors and networks of friends can influence an adolescent’s behavior, including academic performance (AP) in school. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between AP and adolescents’ social networks in a Caribbean city in Colombia. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with 806 schoolchildren from 12 to 17 years old of both sexes (52.7% girls), selected by multi-stage sampling from schools in the rural and urban areas of the city of Montería, Colombia. The AP was obtained from the school records; the sociodemographic variables included the location of the school (rural or urban), family structure, family functioning (Apgar score), and family affluence scale. Social network variables included social activity, popularity, reciprocity, homophily, friends’ academic performance, network size, network density, cluster of friends, and centrality. Results The AP was inversely associated with the Apgar score in boys. No associations of AP with the school location, family structure, family affluence scale, and age were observed. In social network variables, AP was positively associated with popularity and friends’ academic performance in girls and boys, and negatively associated with homophily in boys. Conclusions AP was associated with social network variables. These results could help implement interventions to improve adolescents’ social environment and AP
