Homes have become the new educators of health since health education has decreased or stopped during the pandemic. The lack of knowledge in the child and adolescent population about how to incorporate healthy habits in their daily lives, along with the rise of health devices and the introduction of healthcare in the syllabus, has led to the realization of the present study. The aim of this study was to identify the relevant health topics in a sample of adolescents for the later development of a mobile application (Healthy Jeart) that promotes the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits in adolescence. The information was gathered through the technique of nominal groups. The sample was recruited by nonprobability purposive sampling, with a total of 92 students from 4 educational centers of the province of Huelva Citation: Palacios-Gálvez, M.S.; Andrés-Villas, M.; Vélez-Toral, M.; (Spain). According to the obtained results, the most relevant categories were physical wellbeing Merino-Godoy, Á. Nominal Groups (40.81%), psychological wellbeing (22.13%), interpersonal relationships and social skills (21.58%), to Develop a Mobile Application on toxic substances and addictions (10.35%) and sex habits (1.83%). This technique allowed identifying Healthy Habits.

It was organised by the new broadcasting company ‘Radio Popular’ in collaboration with the local administration of the Ministry of Education at the end of the Franco era. This activity was carried out with didactic resources published by ‘Radio ECCA’, which had started broadcasting for educational purposes from the Canary Islands with the Jesuit priest Francisco Villén Lucena a few years before, in 1965.

  • Academic Training in Spanish Universities for the Didactic Use of Cinema in Pre-School and Primary Education
    Journal of Technology and Science Education JOTSE, 2021 – 11(1): 210-226 – Online ISSN: 2013-6374 – Print ISSN: 2014-5349 https://doi.org/10.3926/jotse.1162 ACADEMIC TRAINING IN SPANISH UNIVERSITIES FOR THE DIDACTIC USE OF CINEMA IN PRE-SCHOOL AND PRIMARY EDUCATION Alejandro Lorenzo-Lledó , Asunción Lledó , Gonzalo Lorenzo , Elena Pérez-Vázquez University of Alicante (Spain) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received November 2020 Accepted December 2020 Abstract One of the characteristic features of current society is the relevance of technology and audiovisual media. This fact has generated demands in the educational field to adapt objectives and methodologies to non-textual languages. Among the predominant audiovisual media is the cinema, which has many potentialities as a didactic resource. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find out the training that students of the Teacher’s Degree in Spanish universities receive for the didactic use of cinema through a nationwide research with survey design in which 4659 students, belonging to all the Autonomous Communities and 58 universities, participated. The questionnaire called Perceptions about the potentialities of cinema as a didactic resource in pre-school and primary classrooms (PECID) was designed ad hoc. This questionnaire, which consists of 45 items, has a section that deals with the training received for the educational use of cinema. The Spanish universities offering the Teacher Degree were identified and contacted for the dissemination of the questionnaire. The results obtained showed that 88.4% had not received training. Furthermore, 250 subjects were identified in which film content is taught, mostly in the second and third year and in the area of Didactics and School Organization.

  • Fuzzy Cluster Analysis on Spanish Public Universities
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital.CSIC 49 Fuzzy cluster analysis on Spanish public universities Davinia Palomares-Montero Adela García-Aracil INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Spanish Council for Scientific Research [email protected] [email protected] 976 Investigaciones de Economía de la Eduación 5 Fuzzy cluster analysis on Spanish public universities Davinia Palomares-Montero Adela García-Aracil INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Spanish Council for Scientific Research [email protected] [email protected] The present study tries to provide an alternative approach, by grouping Spanish public universities for the academic year 2006, into clusters that are statistically similar across all criteria, without making any assumptions about the relative importance of each criterion. When using (non fuzzy) clustering techniques, universities can only belong to a group, having a particular performance. But, actually, the same university could be important from different perspectives at the same time, to a different degree. In this sense, a fuzzy clustering approach is applied. With the results, it is possible to know the situation of each Spanish public university at the national context. 1 Introduction Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world are undergoing important changes. Experts in the field of higher education (HE) affirm that the 21st century will be the period of the highest growth in HE in the history of education, with qualitative changes in the system such that HEIs will be forced to make important readjustments in order to fit with public sector financial management systems (Rodriguez Vargas, 2005; Leydesdorff, 2006; Bonaccorsi and Daraio, 2007).

  • Learning Contexts of the Others: Identity Building Processes in Southern Europe
    European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults, Vol.2, No.2, 2011, pp. 151-163 Learning contexts of the others: Identity building processes in southern Europe Estrella Gualda University of Huelva, Spain ([email protected]) Emilio Lucio-Villegas University of Seville, Spain ([email protected]) Vània Martins University of Algarve, Portugal ([email protected]) Teresa González Gómez University of Huelva, Spain ([email protected]) Juan M. Gualda University of Huelva, Spain ([email protected]) António Fragoso University of Algarve, Portugal ([email protected]) Abstract The frontier between the south of Spain and Portugal is established by the river Guadiana. Lying next to the sea, the cities of Ayamonte (Spain) and Vila Real de Santo António (Portugal) face each other on opposite banks of the river. The research that feeds into this paper is focused on these two cities. We study specifically how identity is built in this cross-border area. To do this, in a first phase of this study we organized eight focus group interviews. In the second phase of this research we conducted biographical interviews to deepen some of the analytic categories we were dealing with. These results lead us to state that the territory, and the views that people hold on this territory, are still very important in identity building. This includes both culture and identity as strategic elements in the construction of both development and educational processes. Additionally, one has to ask where people learn the elements that determine these processes. The images of ourselves and the images of the other – that make up stereotypes of both the Spanish and the Portuguese – are built in what kind of contexts and through what types of educational processes? We will try to answer these questions ISSN 2000-7426 © 2011 The author DOI 10.3384/rela.2000-7426.rela0033 www.rela.ep.liu.se [152] Gualda et al.

  • Uhanalaisia Kasveja Suojelevien Sääntöjen Rikkomista Koskeva Tutkimus
    European Ombudsman Päätös asiassa 1561/2010/FOR - Uhanalaisia kasveja suojelevien sääntöjen rikkomista koskeva tutkimus Päätös Kanteluasia 1561/2010/FOR - Tutkittavaksi otetut kantelut, pvm 04/08/2010 - Päätökset, pvm 14/06/2011 - Toimielin, jota kantelu koskee Euroopan komissio ( Ei hallinnollista epäkohtaa ) | Tapaus koskee väitettä, jonka mukaan komissio ei ole tutkinut asianmukaisesti, onko Espanja noudattanut EU:n ympäristösääntöjä. Asia nousi esiin erään paikallista ekologiryhmää edustavan Espanjan kansalaisen kantelun yhteydessä. Hänen mukaansa laajamittainen rakennushanke vahingoitti Picris Willkommiin luonnollista elinympäristöä. Kyseessä on harvinainen kasvi, jota esiintyy ainoastaan Guadianajoen suulla Espanjassa. Kantelijan mukaan tällä toiminnalla rikottiin luontotyyppidirektiiviä ja ympäristövastuudirektiiviä. Oikeusasiamiehen mukaan luontotyyppidirektiivin rikkominen ei automaattisesti merkitse sitä, että komission tulisi aloittaa rikkomusmenettely Espanjaa vastaan. Hän huomautti, että komissiolla on laaja harkintavalta päättää, aloittaako se EU:n lainsäädännön väitetyn rikkomisen vuoksi menettelyn jäsenvaltiota vastaan. Hän huomautti kuitenkin myös, että komission on perusteltava harkintavaltansa käyttö. Päättäessään lopettaa kantelijan tekemän kantelun käsittelyn komissio perusteli harkintavaltansa käyttöä pääasiassa niin, että rikkomusmenettelyn jatkaminen ei takaisi parempia toimia Picris Willkommiin suojelemiseksi kuin ne toimet, joita Espanjan viranomaiset ovat jo toteuttaneet tai suunnitelleet (Espanjan viranomaiset

It is only thanks to the support of our students, alumni and contributors, and the other sources of company and organizational financing we receive that we are able to continue with our work, which in 2012 has focused primarily on two areas: scholarships to train the very best national and international talent, and applied research as a means of contributing to economic and social progress. This year, we have sought to extend our acclaimed training to high-potential candidates who do not have the financial resources to study at the IE and to promote excellence in our research, which has become both an essential complement to our teaching work at IE and a useful means of furthering the activities of our sponsors. None of these activities, or indeed any of our other work, would be possible without the support of our students, alumni, contributors and institutional sponsors.
