- Beyond the Gym Floor and the Classroom: Physical Education as a Catalyst for Transdisciplinary Physically Active Learning in the Portuguese Educational LandscapePublication . Santos, Artur Jorge; Baptista, Liliana; Amoroso, José; Furtado, Guilherme; Teixeira, Manuela; Lima, Carla Pedroso; Marques, Adilson; Gouveia, Élvio R.This chapter explores the transformative potential of physical education (PE) when integrated into a transdisciplinary and physically active learning (PAL) framework. By moving beyond the traditional confines of the gym and classroom, we examine how PE can serve as a core component of holistic education. The chapter delves into the theoretical underpinnings of transdisciplinary and active learning, highlighting their alignment with the goals of PE. It will provide practical examples and strategies for implementing transdisciplinary PE programs, emphasizing collaboration with other subject areas and the creation of authentic learning experiences. The chapter will also discuss the role of PE in fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, while promoting physical literacy and well-being. Ultimately, this chapter aims to inspire educators to reimagine PE as a dynamic and essential component of a comprehensive curriculum.
- Education for Sustainable Development: What Matters?Publication . Bucea-Manea-Țoniș, Rocsana; Păun, Dan; Martins, Oliva M.D.; Santos, Artur Jorge; Urdeș, LauraThere is a raising of concerns about the need to change environmental behaviours through economic and social activities. Education plays a significant role in this process, with schools enhancing the necessary behaviour adoption by youngsters and their community. Thus, the present study examines the relationship between different variables, such as sustainability (green public procurement, healthy food activity) and education (course, impact, interactive teaching methods/technology). We developed a survey regarding education for sustainable development (ESD), with five sections considering the referred variables. We applied it to 385 Romanian educators and teachers from kindergarten and primary school. An SEM model was formed to evaluate the relationship between the associated variables. The results showed that an organisation or school with a long-term plan incorporating green public procurement will positively stimulate initiatives that help the next generation adopt good eating habits. Moreover, this eco-sustainable approach affects the creation of interactive teaching methods and the courses and classes. Consequently, the changes in interactive methods will positively affect the overall impact. Nevertheless, the relationship between courses and impact was not significant. This means management decisions regarding green strategies can lead to a broader change in a school setting, fostering the ESD.
- Tradução e validação do questionário de clima motivacional percepcionado no desporto 2 (PMCSQ-2) para portuguêsPublication . Santos, Artur Jorge; Sarmento, Hugo B.; Lima, Carla Pedroso; Prada, Ana Raquel RussoO clima motivacional no desporto é um preditor da motivação, satisfação, abandono, ansiedade e auto-estima do atleta. Este estudo tem como objetivo obter uma versão portuguesa do Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire 2 (PMCSQ-2), contribuindo com um instrumento mais atual que avalie o clima motivacional no desporto, de acordo com vários subfactores. Tal permitirá analisar e intervir no contexto desportivo português. Procedeu-se à tradução do PMCSQ-2, com a versão final a ser aplicada a 499 jovens atletas com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Os subfactores - Reconhecimento Desigual, Funções importantes, Castigo por erros, Aprendizagem cooperativa, Esforço/Melhoramento – apresentam uma boa consistência interna. A análise factorial confirmatória evidenciou que a versão portuguesa do questionário apresenta propriedades psicométricas adequadas para a sua utilização em estudos futuros.
