Increased longevity has led to concerns and fears among the population about the inexorable process of ageing. This process causes individuals to become more anxious about the physical and psychosocial changes caused by the passage of time. However, there are currently no scales in the Spanish context that analyse ageing. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to validate the Anxiety about Aging scale to the Spanish context. In the present study, 594 subjects between 25 and 64 years old participated. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used. The results revealed that the factor structure of the questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties, showing a four-factor factor structure.

The word scouting refers to the Scout movement, born more than a hundred years ago, which educates millions of young people between the ages of six and twenty-one in their leisure time. We aimed to study the effects of scouting on the academic results, social skills, and self-esteem of high school youths compared to a non-scout sample. The selected sample consisted of 430 secondary students aged between thirteen and seventeen. Self-esteem and social skills were measured, and the average mark of the total sample was analysed. After the study, it was shown that belonging to the scout movement significantly influences the improvement of academic results in formal education and conflict resolution; however, there are no statistically significant differences in self-esteem and other social skills.

Resumen: En el marco de una experiencia de innovación, se quiso utilizar la autoevaluación y heteroevaluación como estrategias de evaluación en alumnado de educación. Utilizando un diseño longitudinal de medidas repetidas, se analiza la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la adquisición de competencias vinculadas a la discapacidad utilizando el aprendizaje basado en problemas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el alumnado percibe mayor nivel de logro en las competencias tras la aplicación de esta metodología docente, existiendo diferencias signifi cativas según la titulación cursada y siendo leves las diferencias respecto a la heteroevaluación.Palabras clave: aprendizaje basado en problemas; autoevaluación; competencia; discapacidad.DOI: 10.15581/004.32.73-93 1 El artículo deriva de una investigación fi nanciada por la Universidad de Granada con el título Desarrollo de competencias para la formación en la atención a las personas con discapacidad a través del Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (PID 11-181).
