Reducing parenting stress in Chinese parents of children with learning disabilities with a mindful parenting program: A randomized controlled trial

BackgroundParents raising children with Learning Disabilities (LDs) often face multiple challenges and high levels of parenting stress, especially in societies with intense academic competitions. Mindful parenting (MP) is an emerging approach that brings mindful awareness to parent–child interactions and is found effective in reducing parenting stress in various parent populations. AimsThis study examined the effectivenesss of an 8-week online MP program on Chinese parents of children with LDs. Methods and proceduresA MP program was adapted and implemented in an online format with 69 parents of children with LDs. A randomized controlled trial design was used to examine the efficacy of the mindful parenting group compared with a wait-list control group. Parenting stress, mindful parenting and self-compassion were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Outcomes and resultsCompared with the wait-list control group, the MP group participants showed decreased parenting stress (d = 0.62, p < 0.05), improved mindful parenting (d = 0.63, p < 0.05), and increased self-compassion (d = 0.61, p < 0.05). Conclusions and implicationsThese findings support the effectiveness of an online MP intervention in reducing parenting stress and increasing mindful parenting and self-compassion among Chinese parents of children with LDs. The behavioral and intrapersonal aspects of MP are more amenable to improvement, whereas the attitudinal and interpersonal aspects, particularly non-judgmental acceptance and compassion towards the child, are resistant to change. Future studies should explore strategies to enhance these attitudinal aspects and interpersonal processes of MP.

Detecting outstanding students for projection in academic competitions

Upper secondary educational institutions have outstanding students in different areas of knowledge. Some of them show scientific skills, technological innovation, and others are considered high-performance athletes. They can enhance their abilities and face more demanding challenges by participating in academic and/or sporting events. The aim of this study was "to discuss the importance of the timely detection of outstanding students in upper secondary education academic units, as well as to analyse the factors that influence the achievement of their goals". The research was conducted at the Guasave Daytime High School of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), in the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. It was designed as a case study, with an exploratory-explanatory analysis. A total of 455 surveys were administered to students. The academic unit has 3898 students, the data were captured in Google Forms to describe the attitudinal profile of high school students, ways of learning, strengths, and weaknesses to develop scientific skills. Interest in participating in important academic and sporting events was considered as activities to identify outstanding students. The results show the importance of implementing strategies that allow teachers to detect outstanding students in a timely manner. The dissemination of extracurricular activities was considered because students have the potential to develop their scientific and sporting talents. However, these activities have little dissemination among students. It is concluded that the Academic Units should have a greater dissemination of extracurricular activities and have a programme to detect outstanding students. It is important to train and guide teachers so that they can identify and channel outstanding students and be able to enhance their abilities.

Through teaching practice, the proposal has proved to be effective in improving students’ practical and innovative abilities, while meeting the needs of enterprises and gaining social recognition.

Reasons behind students' lack of participation in school activities: A Quantitative study

This study investigated why students lack participation in school activities and proposed interventions to address these barriers. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires administered to senior high school students at Balite National High School in Surigao Del Norte, Philippines. The study found that while most students participate in school activities regularly, a significant portion participates occasionally or rarely. Sports emerged as the most popular category of activities, followed by arts and music, clubs and organizations, academic competitions, and social events. Perceived barriers to participation include lack of interest, mismatched skills or interests, lack of confidence, fear of judgment, time constraints, lack of information, and inadequate support from teachers or peers. Significant differences in perceived reasons for lack of participation were found based on grade level but not age or sex. Recommendations for students, teachers, school administration, curriculum planners, and future researchers are provided to promote student engagement and participation in school activities. Addressing these barriers through targeted interventions can create a more inclusive and engaging school environment that enhances students' educational experience.

Anthropometric profiles and body composition of male runners at different distances

Anthropometric parameters are crucial prerequisite to achieve success in professional running sports. However, it is not clear how these parameters are relevant for athletes performing on a less demanding sport level as academic competitions. To help coaches and selectors working on this level, we have explored anthropometric variables and body composition in 68 academic athletes: 26 sprinters, 22 middle distance runners, and 20 long distance runners. Sprinters have a more massive body shape, shorter lower legs in relation to the length of the thigh, broader shoulders and narrower hips, greater musculature and cellular mass. A slender figure, a longer shin, and the greatest subcutaneous fat and extracellular mass characterize long-distance runners. Middle-distance runners are the slimmest, and have a narrow trunk and little subcutaneous fat. Sprinters and long-distance runners are mesomorphic, while middle-distance runners present more mixed mesomorph-ectomorph type. The principal component analysis highlighted the importance of the overall size of the body, limbs musculature and the length of the lower limb together with its segments, and also body fatness. This approach emphasized the morphological distinctiveness of runners at particular distances and allows the use of somatic features as predictors of running performance.
