The purpose of this study was to determine what recreational activities were of greatest interest and appeal to members of nine senior centers in Texas and according to their age and sex. The nine senior centers were randomly selected from the forty-two centers in Texas. A minimum of twenty-five members at the selected centers were asked to respond to a questionnaire concerning their recreational activity interest. A total of two hundred seventy-four respondents completed the questionnaire, of which seventy-nine were males and one hundred ninety-five were females. The questionnaire consisted of nine recreational activity categories. These categories were designed to cover a wide range of recreational interest. Table games were the activities indicated by the respondents (88 per cent) to be of greatest interest. The activity that was indicated to be of least interest was dancing (47 per cent). Activities that included social contact had the greatest interest to the respondents. A recommendation was made that senior centers should stress those activities of a social group nature. The centers should also provide more outdoor life activities.

The problem of this study is an investigation of the recreational program provided for inmates of the Texas Prison System. The purposes of the study were to determine the type and extent of recreational activities which are made available to the men and women who live Behind the Walls and to make recommendations based on the findings of the investigation.

In the early 1990s, a series of seminal research studies were published on substance use disorders among Latino adolescent males in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Expanding upon these studies, the aims of the present dissertation project were to (1) Determine whether the following adolescents’ and parents’ characteristics/cultural values are associated with current (past 30 days) or lifetime (ever) alcohol or marijuana use among Latino adolescents: sex, age, country of birth, GPA, family’s socio-economic status, living with both parents, mother’s highest level of education, father’s highest level of education, Familism Support, Familism Obligations, Familism Referents, Respect, Religion, Traditional Gender Roles, Independence and Self-Reliance; (2) Assess if recreational activities (sports participation, after-school activities and volunteering) moderate the association between Latino adolescents’ friends’ age, sex, and ethnicity and Latino adolescents’ current alcohol or marijuana use and; (3) Assess if recreational activities moderate the association between Latino adolescents’ perceptions of their friends’ alcohol or marijuana use and Latino adolescents’ current alcohol or marijuana use. This cross-sectional dissertation study used survey data from 193 Latino adolescent males and females (15.7 ± 1.6 years old; 55.4% females, 44.6% males) in Miami-Dade County collected in 2016-2017. Analyses included t-tests, chi-square tests and logistic regressions. Being born in the U.S. increased the risk of current alcohol use. Identifying more strongly with the cultural value religion decreased risk of current alcohol use and current marijuana use. Participants who reported having no close friends who use alcohol were less likely to currently (within past 30 days) use alcohol themselves when compared to participants who reported having at least one close friend who uses alcohol. The interaction between participation in sports activities and reporting having friends who use alcohol on outcome currently using alcohol was significant. Participants who reported having no close friends who use marijuana were less likely to currently use marijuana themselves. Findings from this study suggest that factors contributing to substance use among Latino adolescents throughout the United States may be different than those which play a role among the unique Latino adolescent population in Miami-Dade County. This study further validated what has been shown in the general U.S. population: adolescents who perceive their friends to be using alcohol or marijuana are more likely to use alcohol or marijuana, respectively, themselves. Further research is suggested to determine the role of recreational activities in alcohol and marijuana use among Latino adolescents.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo falar sobre a utilização do lúdico no processo de ensino-aprendizado da criança em relação à Bíblia. Diante da atualidade, onde os valores materiais muitas vezes se sobrepõem aos espirituais, é necessário que a criança, para que cresça de forma plena, harmoniosa e pautada em valores éticos e nas palavras de Deus, tenha o conhecimento e o contato íntimo com os ensinamentos bíblicos, sendo estes de forma prazerosa e relacional com o seu dia- a-dia, e é por isto que muitos educadores, inclusive os religiosos, utilizam a ludicidade como ferramenta facilitadora deste aprendizado. Conforme a própria Bíblia, as crianças são o futuro da geração vindoura (SALMO 78,1-8) e precisam de um preparo religioso e espiritual não somente para transmitir os ensinamentos divinos de geração a geração, mas também para preparar-se para a vida, sendo no futuro um bom cidadão e pessoa de Deus, graças a sua preparação enquanto pequenos, através da base familiar atrelada a instituições que valorizam a educação religiosa (igreja e escola). O ensino da Bíblia, atrelado às novas ferramentas metodológicas de ensino, no caso, a utilização do lúdico com o propósito de facilitar o aprendizado e o conhecimento sobre Deus e a sua palavra contida na Bíblia, permitem que as crianças sejam agentes em crescimento não só de corpo, mas de mente e espírito, transformadores e em transformação, cristãos que caminham neste mundo de forma consciente. / This thesis aims to discuss the use of play in the teaching-learning of children in relation to the Bible. Given the present, where the material values often outweigh the spiritual it is necessary for the child to grow fully, harmonious and based on ethical values and in the words of God, have knowledge of and intimate contact with biblical teachings, which are so pleasant and relationship with their day-to-day, and this is why many educators, including the religious use playfulness as facilitator of this learning tool. As the Bible itself, children are the future of "generation to come" (Psalm 78.1-8) and require a religious and spiritual preparation not only to transmit the divine teachings from generation to generation, but also to prepare for life, and in the future a good citizen and person of God, thanks to their preparation as small, family-based linked through institutions that value the education of religion (church and school). The teaching of the Bible, coupled with new methodological tools of education, in this case, the use of play in order to facilitate learning and knowledge about God and his word in the Bible, allow children to be agents not only growing body but the mind and spirit, transformers and transformation, Christians who walk this world consciously.
