Las diferencias en los valores del cuerpo en las nueve provincias de Castilla y León

Abstract

Introduction: the values of the body emerge as motors that articulate human behaviors faced from the body as a first contact with the world and with oneself. These values are largely shared by the social group of reference. The province is a unit of measure with its own identity, which is why it is considered as a social group of reference. Objectives: the main objective is to find out if there are important differences in the values of the body between the nine provinces that make up the autonomous community of Castilla y León area. Methods: the study analyzes 536 students of the 1st Baccalaureate of Castilla y León rgion in the 2017/18 academic year distributed in a homogeneous and weighted way to the nine provinces of the community. Ten body values are identified by the test developed by Casares and Collados (1998). Mean and preferred values are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: statistically significant differences are obtained in 4 values (instrumental, dynamic, affective-social and religious) and 2 (ecological and ethical) with differences close to being. Discussion: the results show that there are clear differences in the values of the legitimated body in each province as a territorial unit with its own identity taken into account. Conclusions: it is vitally important to know the social context that surrounds the school and its educational process, since it conditions, or should condition, to a great extent, the educational intervention.
