ABSTRACT
Emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience play an important role in the lives of adolescents, and this has been especially so during the coronavirus pandemic, which has affected the mental health of young people. The study objectives were: (i) to analyse the correlations between the EI variables and resilience;(ii) to analyse the differences between the resilience variable and the EI variables according to the sex variable;and (iii) to analyse the predictive relationship between the EI variables and the resilience variable according to sex. A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive design study was carried out with a convenience sample consisting of 150 students (78 girls;72 boys) between the ages of 12 and 18 years (M=14.83;SD=1.72). The scales administered were: The Emotional Quotient Inventory and the Resilience Scale. The descriptive statistics were calculated -Student's T test was used to check for differences based on the sex variable, and linear regression analysis was performed to check the prediction ratio of the EI subscales on resilience. The results demonstrated positive and significant relationships between the EI variables and resilience, with EI and resilience being higher in boys than in girls -this differs from previous data, perhaps influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The results also reflect that EI positively predicts resilience to a greater extent in boys than in girls.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to determine how the safety protocols established for the prevention of COVID-19 affected engagement motor time (TCM) in Physical Education (PE) classes, both in Spanish and English, and the methodological approaches implemented by teachers. For this purpose, an ex-post-facto study was designed to analyze the different time categories established in PE sessions and the use of mobile apps at 12 secondary schools in the Autonomous Community of Aragon. The results show differences in TCM with respect to previous studies, and there are significant differences (Student's t-test) in the variables of TCM, organization time and time spent on the task between those sessions conducted in Spanish and those in English. These data reveal the need for further research on the consequences of the measures adopted to in the face of COVID-19 in the PE area and the importance of mobile apps a means to replace online sessions and compensate for the decrease in TCM in face-to-face sessions.
