A prática desportiva é hoje uma das atividades humanas mais importantes, atraindo milhões de crianças pelo prazer que proporciona, pelos ídolos desportivos, convívio social ou por influência familiar. Destes, muitos optam pela prática desportiva federada, em idade cada vez mais precoce. Este estudo pretendeu auscultar os treinadores de Andebol de Portugal sobre as orientações a seguir na participação desportiva, preparação para a competição e sobre o formato desta durante as etapas de formação. Aplicou-se um questionário a uma amostra constituída por 276 treinadores de Andebol de Portugal. Analisou-se a normalidade e homogeneidade dos dados, recorrendo-se ao SPSS 18, procedendo-se igualmente à análise descritiva. Recorreu-se à estatística teste Kruskal Wallis para verificar se havia diferenças significativas entre grupos de treinadores de acordo com o grau técnico e ao teste Mann-Whitney, para verificar a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre grupos em função da região (sig.-0,05). Para o tratamento das perguntas 5, 7 e 10, utilizou-se o método da análise de conteúdo. Os treinadores afirmaram: 1) a competição deve estar orientada para a formação (minis, bambis, infantis) e mais orientada para os resultados (iniciados, Juvenis), considerando estes muito importantes apenas nos juvenis; 2) a preparação deve ser multilateral (minis, bambis) e especializada (juvenis); 3) a competição deve ser informal (minis, bambis), formal (infantis) e formal com 2ªfase e play-off (iniciados e juvenis); 4) que é importante que a prática proporcione aos jovens momentos de divertimento e prazer; 5) que as competições nacionais e internacionais são importantes para todos os escalões; 6) que as provas a eliminar não devem existir ou apenas devem acontecer no escalão de juvenis; 7) que devem existir regulamentos técnicos ou pedagógicos de forma a modelar a competição até ao escalão de iniciados.

Relação entre aptidão física, participação desportiva e comportamentos sedentários e alimentares: um estudo em alunos dos 2º e 3º Ciclos, e Ensino Secundário do Concelho de Santana

O presente trabalho teve como objectivo caracterizar a população escolar do 5.º ao 12º anos de escolaridade do concelho de Santana, relativamente aos níveis de adiposidade, de aptidão e actividade física, actividades sedentárias e hábitos alimentares. A amostra foi constituída por 505 jovens de ambos os géneros, com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 22 anos, distribuídos por quatro grupos etários. A composição corporal foi caracterizada através de: 1) do IMC, com base nos valores de referência de Cole et al. (2000), para determinar excesso de peso e obesidade, e de Cole et al. (2007), para a subnutrição; 2) cálculo da %MG através das pregas subcutâneas segundo as fórmulas de Slaughter et al. (1988), e classificada segundo Lohman (1987). A aptidão física foi avaliada segundo as orientações da bateria de testes Fitnessgram (Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, 2002). As actividades sedentárias e os hábitos alimentares foram avaliados através de questionários (Sallis et al., 1999 e Wilson et al., 2008 respectivamente), e o grupo de participação desportiva, determinado a partir de questões relativas à prática de actividades desportivas organizadas. Os resultados demonstram uma taxa de prevalência de excesso de peso e obesidade de 26,7%, sendo superior a taxa de prevalência nos participantes do sexo masculino e de idade mais baixa. Ao nível da actividade física organizada extracurricular, verificou-se que 41,5% indicaram praticar outra actividade (DE ou DF), para além das aulas de EF. Relativamente a aptidão física, constatamos que metade da população avaliada, foi classificada abaixo da Zona Saudável de Aptidão Física (ZSAptF), em pelo menos 3, dos 6 testes motores avaliados. A aptidão aeróbia revelou-se como uma das componentes da aptidão com maior taxa de insucesso (54,8%). Ainda na aptidão, verificamos que os participantes classificados abaixo ZSAptF na componente aptidão aeróbia diferiam dos classificados dentro da ZSAptF, nos parâmetros: a) obesidade; b) restantes testes motores da aptidão física avaliados; c) actividades sedentárias (navegar da net; jogo de vídeo portáteis); d) participação desportiva; e) frequência de consumo de bebidas açucaradas, sendo que em média, os alunos classificados abaixo da ZSAptF, apresentam valores superiores de obesidade, piores prestações nos testes motores, menor probabilidade de participarem em actividades organizadas extracurriculares e menor consumo de bebidas açucaradas.

A presente pesquisa é uma iniciativa que partiu da realização do Curso de Mestrado em Ciências da Educação pela Universidade da Madeira- Funchal- Portugal, objetivando entender a proposta de promover mudanças nas práticas educativas, com a perspectiva de analisar a aprendizagem, através da prática enfocada no projeto escolar “Da Informação ao Conhecimento”. Sendo esta, o objeto de estudo que propõe o conceito de que leitura e escrita são instrumentos fundamentais para a formação do ser, portanto devem ser estimuladas logo nos primeiros anos da existência humana e perdurar por toda a vivência. Lembrando que serão consideradas facilitadoras de autonomia, segurança e desenvolvimento pessoal se abordadas de forma individual ou coletiva. Trata-se de um estudo que visa encontrar Inovação nas práticas educativas para romper com o atual paradigma fabril que sistematiza a educação nos dias atuais, propondo um novo modelo educacional no qual o aluno é agente construtor, enquanto o professor assume o papel de mediador. Refere-se a um estudo qualitativo descritivo, com características voltadas para etnografia, pois, analisa os costumes, hábitos e valores de um grupo de estudantes do ensino médio de uma escola da rede pública do estado do Ceará –Brasil.

Gestão híbrida em cooperativa de crédito: uma análise a partir do interesse, participação, satisfação e expectativa dos cooperados da COOPERUFPA

The globalization of markets has confirmed for the processes of change in organizations both in structure and in management. This dynamic was also observed in credit unions because they are financial institutions and are under the rules of the Brazil´s Financial System. Given the context of organizational changes in the financial capital has played the traditional management reform is urgent. In organizations credit unions, given its dual purpose, because in the same organizational environment and capitalism coexist cooperative whose logics are antagonistic, but can live through the balance between instrumental rationality and substantive rationality in credit unions. Based on this concept a new form of management should be thought to be able to accommodate the demand of cooperative, community, government and the market. Hybridization has been observed in management practices` COOPERUFPA into dimensions financial, social and solidarity participation with a trend in paradigmatic form of hybrid management, in that it directly or indirectly affect the management decisions in the credit union. The hybrid management is a trend that has been setting the basis for societal transformation, so that credit unions promote actions of welfare oriented cooperative members and the community around the same time that attend the dynamics of market globalization. These actions, in the context of hybrid management should be implemented by COOPERUFPA from the sociability of the remains and the wide diffusion of solidarity culture between cooperative partnership as a way to recover their participation in trade relations, financial and the social collective developement. For the members of COOPERUFPA financial interest is evidenced in greater relevance for the social interest given its dominant relationship as "mere customer" of the credit union, however, the proactive participation of the life of the cooperative credit union is one of its expectative among of participation of to share power in decisions by general meetings. This passivity`s cooperator of the COOPERUFPA in defending the ideals overshadowed the spread of cooperative principles and values of cooperation among them. Thus his conception for COOPERUFPA in the financial dimension, social and solidarity democracy, performed transversely. The COOPERUFPA for not developing an education policy for the cooperation among its members, contributed to a process of collective alienation of cooperative ideals, since the cooperative do not understand the reality that surrounds them as members of an organization whose mission is to social and financial sustainability of its members
