ABSTRACT
La práctica pedagógica supervisada (PPS) es un momento en que los estudiantes se enfrentan directamente con la realidad que tendrán en sus futuras actividades profesionales y se convierte en un espacio formativo en el que los futuros profesores desarrollan acciones pedagógicas en situaciones de la vida real. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las percepciones de profesores en formación de una universidad regional del sur de Chile sobre su proceso de formación práctica. Es una investigación de tipo cuantitativa donde participaron 95 profesores en formación. Los profesores en formación valoran los espacios de formación práctica, pero visualizan distanciamiento entre lo que se enseña en clases en la universidad y la realidad escolar
Supervised pedagogical practice (SPP) is a time when students face directly the reality they will have in their future professional activities, and becomes a training space in which future teachers can develop their pedagogical actions in real life situations. The aim of this study was to know the perceptions of professors in training from a regional university in southern Chile about their practical training process. It is a quantitative research where 95 teachers in training participated. Teachers in training value practical training spaces, but visualize a distance between what was taught in classes at the university and school reality

Background: The incidence of obesity in children is increasing worldwide, primarily in urbanized, high-income countries, and hypertension development is a detrimental effect of this phenomenon. Objective: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the prevalence of excess weight and its association with high blood pressure (BP) in schoolchildren. Methods: Here 4,609 male and female children, aged 6 to 11 years, from 24 public and private schools in Maringa, Brazil, were evaluated. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI) according to cutoff points adjusted for sex and age. Blood pressure (BP) levels above 90th percentile for gender, age and height percentile were considered elevated. Results: The prevalence of excess weight among the schoolchildren was 24.5%; 16.9% were overweight, and 7.6% were obese. Sex and socioeconomic characteristics were not associated with elevated BP. In all age groups, systolic and diastolic BP correlated with BMI and waist and hip measurements, but not with waist-hip ratio. The prevalence of elevated BP was 11.2% in eutrophic children, 20.6% in overweight children [odds ratio (OR), 1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.61-2.45], and 39.7% in obese children (OR, 5.4; 95% CI, 4.23-6.89). Conclusion: Obese and overweight children had a higher prevalence of elevated BP than normal-weight children. Our data confirm that the growing worldwide epidemic of excess weight and elevated BP in schoolchildren may also be ongoing in Brazil. .
Introdução: A incidência de obesidade em crianças está aumentando em todo o mundo, principalmente em países industrializados de alta renda, e o desenvolvimento de hipertensão é um efeito negativo desse problema. Objetivo: O presente estudo transversal objetivou determinar a prevalência de obesidade e sua associação com o aumento da pressão arterial em escolares. Métodos: Neste estudo transversal foram avaliadas 4.609 crianças de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 6 e 11 anos, pertencentes a 24 escolas públicas e particulares de Maringá, Brasil. O estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC) de acordo com pontos de corte ajustados para sexo e idade. Valores de pressão arterial (PA) acima do 90º percentil para gênero, idade e percentil da altura foram considerados elevados. Resultados: A prevalência de excesso de peso entre os escolares foi de 24,5%, sendo que 16,9% apresentaram sobrepeso e 7,6% apresentaram obesidade. O gênero e as condições socioeconômicas não apresentaram correlação com o aumento da pressão arterial. Em todas as faixas etárias, a PA sistólica e diastólica tiveram correlação com o IMC, medida da cintura, medida do quadril, mas não com a relação cintura-quadril. A prevalência de PA elevada foi de 11,2% em crianças eutróficas, 20,6% nas com sobrepeso (OR = 1,99, IC 95% = 1,61-2,45) e 39,7% nas obesas (OR = 5,4, IC 95% = 4,23-6,89). Conclusão: As crianças obesas e com sobrepeso apresentaram maior prevalência de pressão arterial elevada. Nossos dados confirmam que a crescente prevalência de excesso de peso e pressão arterial elevada em escolares observado mundialmente também pode estar ocorrendo no Brasil. .
