L’article “La Educación Física desde dentro. El discurso del rendimiento, el currículum oculto y las discriminaciones de género” signat per Nuria Sánchez-Hernández, Susanna Soler-Prat i Daniel Martos-García, ha estat publicat a Ágora para la Educación Física y el Deporte.

“La literatura sobre la Educación Física sigue ofreciendo una imagen de asignatura conflictiva en la que se dan numerosas injusticias. Por ello, este artículo pretende describir e interpretar algunos de estos sucesos. A partir de la observación participante, las notas de un diario de campo y entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesoras de un centro público de la ciudad de Valencia, se han identificado determinados comportamientos y actitudes que afectan negativamente al clima de clase, sobre todo basadas en el género. Además, se describe una adhesión del profesorado al discurso de rendimiento. Estos datos ponen encima de la mesa un poderoso currículum oculto e invitan a una reflexión crítica del statu quo de la asignatura y a tratar de sacar al profesorado de su zona de confort”

L’article “Harassment disparities and risk profile within lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Spanish adult population: Comparisons by age, gender identity, sexual orientation, and perpetration context” signat per José Devís, Sofía Pereira, Alexandra Valencia, Anna Vilanova i Javier Gil ha estat publicat a la revista Frontiers in Public Health.

“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) harassment disparities have become a public health issue due to discrimination and the effects on these people’s health and wellbeing. The purpose was to compare harassment disparities within the Spanish adult LGBT population according to age, gender identity, sexual orientation and the context of perpetration and to describe the harassment risk profile. A sample of 1,051 LGBT adults participated in a cross-sectional study. Frequencies, percentages and Chi-square tests of independence for stablishing significant differences (p < 0.05) were calculated. The corrected standardized residuals allowed to identify the categories in which significant differences emerged. Binomial logistic regression was used to define the probability of the main LGBT groups of suffering harassment. Results show that 54.4% of the participants had experienced harassment. Young adults presented a higher prevalence than the older group. There were significant harassment differences between transgender (67.2%) and cisgender (52.7%) groups, and also between the subgroup of trans women (75.8%) and the subgroups of cis men (60.2%) and cis women (42.9%). The main disparities according to sexual orientation emerged between lesbian trans and the other LGB groups. Most harassment occurred in educational contexts and public spaces. Trans-women and trans non-binary reported a higher rate of harassment than cis LGB persons in all contexts. Trans people with different orientations (especially lesbian and gay trans) differed in harassment from LGB cis in four of the six contexts analyzed. Harassment is likely to diminish between 2 and 3% each year as LGBTs get older in educational contexts and public spaces but increases 1.07 times in the workplace. Trans women, trans non-binary, lesbian cis and trans-men were more likely to suffer harassment than bisexual cis persons. Trans women present the highest risk of harassment in three contexts (workplace, family and public spaces) and trans non-binary in the other three contexts (education, health and sport). Harassment is a serious problem for LGBT adults in Spain, especially among trans people, which differ in characteristics from those of the sexual minorities mainstream. Programs and policies targeted for improving health should therefore consider the differences that came to light in this study”

L’article “An Examination of Ticket Pricing in a Multidisciplinary Sports Mega-Event” signat per Francesc Solanellas, Joshua Muñoz i Josep Petchamé ha estat publicat a la revista Economies.

“Some studies have examined ticket sales in the context of a sporting event. However, only a few have investigated the determinants of ticket prices, and, to date, none have done so in the context of a multidisciplinary sports mega-event. This study examines this complex paradigm through the case of the World Swimming Championships held in Barcelona, Spain. The particular focus of this study was whether, in such a framework, the same model of analysis of price determinants could be applied equally to all the disciplines that comprise the sporting mega-event. The applied model was significant, explaining the ranges of variation of the ticket prices in the different sport disciplines. The main hypothesis was rejected, which suggests that when examining price determinants in multidisciplinary sport mega-events, it will be convenient to implement a different model for each sporting discipline (aquatic, in the case at hand). These results can help professionals better understand consumer fluctuations throughout the ticket sales process in such an environment, in order to appropriately price tickets. This, in turn, will lead to maximizing revenue, as well as attendance, at sporting events”

L’article “La influència de la lateralitat en l’educació” signat Jannick Niort ha estat publicat al Diari de l’Educació.

“Sembla que han passat de moda tots els elements del desenvolupament motor i cognitiu que van revolucionar l’educació en els anys 70. Això passa amb la lateralitat, un element inherent a la persona que pot influir-hi en molts àmbits, com el físic, el cognitiu, el social, l’afectiu i l’educatiu. Estaria bé tornar a donar protagonisme a la lateralitat”

L’article ““We’ve Never Studied Bullying at University:” Bullying-Related Beliefs, Training, and Strategies Among Physical Education Preservice Teachers“, signat per Xènia Ríos, Carles Ventura i Maria Prat ha estat publicat a la revista Journal of Teaching in Physical Education.

Purpose: To examine beliefs about bullying in physical education (PE) among PE preservice teachers and to examine opinions about training received in this area and the strategies they would use to deal with this phenomenon. Method: We interviewed 44 PE-PSTs (M age = 23.91; SD = 2.96) from six Spanish universities in semistructured focus groups. The data collected were analyzed using hierarchical content analysis. Results: PE preservice teachers believed that while PE may favor the occurrence of bullying, with proper management, it could also be used to educate students and create a positive climate that could help prevent this behavior. The trainee teachers stated that they had not received any training on bullying at university. Overall, they lacked confidence to deal with this problem, and their proposed strategies lacked depth. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for universities to include bullying in their PE teacher training programs.
