Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Education and Physical Activity are closely linked, just like the teacher and the student. Thus, several researchs show how teachers´ behaviors influence students, and how students´ behaviors influence teachers. In recent years, numerous investigations have focused on knowing the didactic behaviors of teachers, and how they influence the behavior of students and their academic performance. In this line, various investigations have been carried out evaluating the effect of psychological variables in schoolchildren, due to educational interventions by teachers through various pedagogical practices and even using educational models. Similarly, the influence is the other way around, observing a relationship between student behavior and its influence on teacher behavior, job stress, job satisfaction, etc. Potential topics:
- Study of teacher and student behaviors.
- Didactic and psychological factors that affect academic performance.
- Teaching and learning models in Education and Physical Activity.
- Didactic and methodological dimensions of teaching.
- Learning theories and pedagogical development models in Education and Physical Activity.
- Development of strategies to encourage the improvement in Education and Physical Activity.
- Analysis and evaluation in Education and Physical Activity.
- Study of the role of the teacher and student in the improvement of Education.
- Motivation in Education.
Empirical research, qualitative, quantitative or mixed analysis, systematic reviews, meta-analysis and case studies involving students of Physical Activity and Education will be considered. Longitudinal or cross-sectional studies that track any of these variables annually or even comparing between countries and / or cultures will also be considered. The presentation of other analysis on topics related to Education and Physical Activity and teacher and student behavior are also welcome and encouraged to be discussed with the Editors.
