The teaching methodology adopted by teachers can influence the levels of participation and learning of students. The main goal of this study was to compare the effect of two intervention programs of postural education according to the used methodology. A total of 36 students (19 girls and 17 boys) in the 1st year of high school participated in the study. In the first intervention program a gamified methodology was applied, while in the second one a traditional methodology was used. Both intervention programs were carried out along 6 sessions. Theoretical contents were analyzed through questionnaires (COSACUES and COSACUES-AEF) and muscular endurance through three physical tests (Biering-Sørensen Test, Side Bridge Test and Prone Forearm Plank Test) before and after the intervention. Motivation levels (Feeling Scale) and perception of effort (OMNI Scale) were measured after each session. The results obtained did not show significant differences between methodologies, but differences have been found in terms of gender and type of methodology. Girls were shown to assimilate better contents with the gamified methodology. There was also a greater perception of effort and greater motivation with the gamified intervention. Therefore, the application of gamified educational interventions by teachers can be an interesting strategy to increase the levels of motivation and effort of students.
El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la prevalencia de dolor lumbar y evaluar los efectos de una unidad didáctica de educación postural sobre los conocimientos teóricos de la salud de la espalda, así como los efectos de la misma sobre la resistencia de la musculatura extensora, inclinadora y flexora del tronco en alumnado de 1º de ESO. Participaron 18 discentes (10 chicos y 8 chicas) de 12.22 ± .43 años de edad de un colegio perteneciente a la Comunidad Valenciana. Se realizó una evaluación inicial (Pretest) de conocimientos teóricos y de aptitudes físicas a través de diversos test de campo. Tras esto, se aplicó el programa de intervención, en el que se desarrolló una unidad didáctica de educación postural compuesta por 8 sesiones, siendo la primera de ellas sobre contenidos teóricos y las 7 restantes prácticas. Tras la aplicación de la unidad didáctica se llevaron a cabo los mismos test (Postest). Los resultados mostraron mejoras estadísticamente significativas tras la aplicación de la unidad didáctica en los conocimientos sobre la salud de la espalda (p ≤ .004) y sobre la resistencia de la musculatura del tronco (p ≤ .001) en los alumnos y alumnas de 1º de ESO. Las mejoras producidas pueden tener implicaciones importantes en la prevención del dolor lumbar en edad escolar.
