¡Nuevo artículo, publicado en la Revista Retos! Sobre los valores: análisis curricular de la educación física en escuelas secundaria en diferentes países
La educación en general y la Educación Física (EF) es un tiempo y un espacio donde se enseñan y aprenden las dimensiones del conocimiento, así como cuestiones de comportamiento y relación humanas, tanto individuales como colectivas. Hablamos de valores y virtudes humanas. La Educación Física como materia curricular es, sin duda, un lugar donde enseñar y vivir valores. El objetivo de este estudio teórico curricular fue analizar el currículo de secundaria de seis países diferentes: Brasil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, España, Portugal e Inglaterra. Estos países fueron elegidos deliberadamente según un criterio básico: i) ser de diferentes continentes, ii) el currículo de EF debe ser una política pública Nacional, iii) diferentes idiomas (español, inglés, portugués) y iv) acceso al documento curricular para realizar el análisis. Supusimos que países con diferentes culturas, lenguas, tradiciones, política, religiones -tradicionales y nuevas religiones- podrían presentar valores/perspectivas axiológicas diferentes o iguales. Los resultados mostraron que los valores más enseñados en las clases de educación física son el respeto, la tolerancia, el juego limpio, el trabajo en equipo y la cooperación, valores comunes a todos los países. Parece existir un rasgo común de lo humano (independientemente de la región del globo). Hay valores deseables que están inscritos en el ser humano, en la vida individual y en la vida en común.

Guatemala is a country with a long history of conflict, poverty and violence that still affects young people. However, their exist non-governmental organizations such as Guatemalan Olympic Foundation (FUNOG) whose purpose is imparting sport and Olympic values as educational principles of the institution. The aim of this study is to describe the sport, health, and psychological characteristics of the youth who participate in this organization. The research’s objectives were accomplished through a quantitative methodology and the involvement of 91 participants. Results emphasised the participants’ elevated levels of physical activity exceeded those of other youth of same ages. No link was found between the level of physical activity and other personal or health variables. Age was negatively correlated with factors pertaining to meaning in life but not with dialectics. A correlation was found between self-esteem and goals, tasks, and empathy, but health literacy was negatively correlated with interpersonal relationships. These data incentivise us to design and evaluate sport programmes not only as an educational strategy to promote health literacy and social-emotional skills, but also to improve the perception of the purpose of life.

Guatemala is a multiethnic and multicultural country that has suffered from poverty and violence. Sports can serve as tool to foster development across the country; however, there is limited research on the use of sports as a tool for promoting broader social benefits in Guatemala. The purpose of this study was to compare sports and the health and physiological characteristics of at-risk youths in Guatemala. The research objectives were achieved through a quantitative approach and the participation of 90 youths involved in an educational organization through sports and 91 youths who have not been influenced by any organization. The results showed that urban at-risk youths involved in a sports for education organization develop more self-esteem; they have higher levels of physical activity than their peers who are not involved in an educational organization; the socioemotional competencies of self-regulation and motivation are higher in urban areas; empathy is higher in men than in women; the level of the self-perception of health is lower and health literacy higher. However, the at-risk youths who are not involved in an educational organization showed that their self-regulation was higher, and the level of health literacy was higher for all factors. This was through a set of attitudes and skills as a result of their historical development and sociocultural strategies transmitted from generation to generation to foster health and physical activity.

Sport has never been a more appreciated tool than at present, particularly when dealing with development at various levels of society, be it communities, gender issues, or factors affecting youth. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the level of empirical evidence on the impact of sport based interventions on human development. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) approach was utilized to conduct a systematic literature search of selected databases with a search range of 2010 to 2021. Findings indicate an increase in the number of studies on the subject, continent, research design, and journal publication. Content analysis revealed the sample characteristics; objectives and content used in the programs; methodology and intervention strategies; and program limitations. Future research should extend the search to other databases, languages, and subjects related sustainability of community interventions.

La Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) siempre ha sido mi casa, me han formado como docente y apoyado como investigador. Aun siendo el deporte un espacio muy joven dentro de UVG, paso a paso me han abierto las puertas para mostrar resultados y avanzar en el proceso de desarrollo de mis líneas de investigación. Me siento orgulloso de formar parte de tan prestigiosa casa de estudios y espero tener la oportunidad de seguir muchos años más.

Working with a lot of patience, the results will come. A year ago it did not even appear in the Ranking of Scientists of the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala. Today he is already ranked 36 out of 48 academics from all disciplines at the UVG. Not bad for a 32-year-old boy, my colleagues in Spain would say that two years ago he was applying for his doctorate.
But today what amazes me is that the evidence speaks for itself, the No. 3 scientist in Education from the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala and No. 8 at the national level, No. 1 in Physical Education and Sports from the Universidad del Valle of Guatemala and No. 1 in the country (this includes the State University and the rest of the private ones)
