Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active strategies for the development of behavior and cognition in young people have gained significant attention due to the high number of projects exploring the relationship between active learning and behavioral/cognitive–academic aspects. Key variables include active methodologies, movement across the curriculum, active breaks with or without cognitive demand, active breaks or active beginnings and specific interventions during Physical Education classes or extracurricular programs. These have emerged as particularly interesting stimuli that affect behavior and cognition from an early age. Among the variables of interest, this Special Issue focuses on learning and teaching strategies, student behavior, psychosocial and emotional variables or cognitive–academic variables such as executive function.
Potential topics:
- Active methodologies and behavior/cognition in young people.
- Active commuting or active starts and behavior/cognition.
- Active recesses/active breaks and behavior/cognition in schoolchildren.
- Physical Education and behavior/cognition.
- Teaching and learning process to improve behavior/cognition in young people.
- Effects of physical activity on behavior/cognition or psychosocial/emotional variables in young people.
- Didactic and psychological factors that affect behavior or cognitive–academic performance in young people.
We encourage empirical research, qualitative, quantitative or mixed analysis, systematic reviews, meta-analysis and case studies. Both longitudinal or cross-sectional studies that track any of these variables annually or even compare countries and/or cultures will also be considered. The presentation of other analyses on related topics is also welcome, and authors are invited to discuss these possibilities with the Editors.
Prof. Dr. Alberto Ruiz-Ariza
