Introduction - The construction of professional knowledge is not dissociable from the professional development of teachers [1]. This operative articulation is structured over time and closely related to the intervention contexts, life experiences and personal forms of work organization [2]. As far as the area of Physical Education (PE) in Elementary Schools is concerned, it emerges as a focus of problems and difficulties, which its practitioners resolve as their careers progress and their perceptions of their pupils’ learning becomes relevant [3]. Therefore, it is important to characterize how they perceive their pedagogical content knowledge in PE, seen as supported by professional experience and from an ecological point of view [4] [5]. Methods - By means of application of a questionnaire to a stratified sample of 150 Elementary School teachers (21 Male and 129 Female), divided in groups of 30 as a function of their years of teaching practice (less than 5, between 6 and 10, betwee...

Introduction - The construction of the professional knowledge of teachers of a multidimensional nature [1] is influenced by their perceptions of initial teacher training, a qualification that is grounded on four knowledge components of Physical Education (PE): programmatic; scientific; pedagogical; and reflexive [2]. Thus the relevance of analysing and understanding teachers’ personal perceptions about initial teacher education in the PE area, as one of the dimensions of the construction of their professional knowledge. Method - A questionnaire was applied to a stratified sample of 150 elementary school teachers (21 Male and 129 Female), divided into groups of 30 as a function of their years of teaching practice – less than 5, between 6 and 10, between 11 and 15, between 16 and 21, and more than 21. Categories – scientific knowledge, programmatic knowledge, reflexive knowledge and pedagogic knowledge – were established to analyse collected data in terms of descriptive statistics [3]...

The personal experience of elementary school teachers when they were students is fundamental for their vision of Physical Education in their classes. A questionnaire was applied to a stratified sample of 150 elementary school teachers; to know their personal experiences in PE; to characterize the positive and negative dimensions of elementary school teacher's personal experiences in PE; to differentiate the nature of the personal experiences of elementary school teachers in PE, in relation to his/her professional experience. As positive aspects of attending PE, teachers identify factors associated to the Specific Effects of PE category and as to negative dimensions of PE we highlight: No answer, School Facilities, Teaching-Learning Process and the Teacher category

A língua inglesa integrou recentemente o currículo do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico português, com documentos orientadores próprios, que procuram assegurar a sequencialidade das aprendizagens ao longo do percurso educativo obrigatório. Com esta medida, procurou-se aproximar o país dos restantes da União Europeia, no que concerne o ensino de línguas nos primeiros anos, e colmatar as lacunas sentidas nas aprendizagens dos alunos do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Neste sentido, a Inspeção-Geral da Educação e Ciência realiza ações de acompanhamento das práticas docentes dos diferentes agrupamentos, com a finalidade de nortear e ajudar a colmatar as carências detetadas nessas práticas, resultando em relatórios publicados na página oficial do organismo público. Estes documentos encontram-se organizados em três domínios: o planeamento curricular, o desenvolvimento curricular e a avaliação curricular.

A Web 2.0 disponibiliza um universo de ferramentas colaborativas muito diversas e as Wikis são uma das mais promissoras em contextos educativos. Neste trabalho apresentam-se os resultados obtidos num estudo efetuado na plataforma PBworks®, utilizada por duas turmas do Ensino Secundário em 2011 e 2012. Após a saída de campo a um ecossistema, os alunos desenvolveram on-line uma Wiki avaliada, com distinto número de páginas e diferente feedback dado pelo professor. A análise comparativa dos históricos das páginas revelou total participação dos alunos e intensidades colaborativas variáveis entre as Wikis construídas. As respostas dadas pelos alunos mais participativos e menos participativos mostrou que os primeiros dão ênfase à ação, enquanto os segundos mostraram desconfiança em relação às interações sociais e à tecnologia utilizada. Sugere-se que em trabalhos futuros, se enriqueçam os instrumentos de pesquisa aplicados nomeadamente a aplicação de um inquérito por entrevista.

Aiming to characterize the way Portuguese Public Higher Education Institutions use Communication Technologies (CTs), the ongoing project at University of Aveiro TRACER will apply a national online survey, therefore developing a prior pilot-study undertaken with validation purposes. This paper describes and summarizes part of the work developed within the pilot-survey, which includes a theoretical review outlining the context of CTs use and its impact on teacher training. First results of the pilot-study, which included four institutions, will be used to present institutional perspectives about CT use. The responses cannot be generalized as wide-reaching statements, but they already reveal that higher education institutions are making an effort to bring together policies and practices. Also, there seems to be a common awareness and concern about teacher training in this area, although training main topics and modalities seem to vary significantly. Results show that despite the uneven...

This paper aims to assess the relevance and usefulness of the SAPO Campus recommender system, through the analysis of students’ and teachers’ opinions. Recommender systems, assuming a ‘technology-driven’ approach, have been designed with the primary goal of predicting user interests based on the implicit analysis of their actions and interactions. The results of this study reveal that although there is some confusion and unawareness about the recommender system, the participants consider that SAPO Campus recommendations are useful and they often find interesting people and content through the results provided by the system. The results also reveal that there is a negative correlation between finding and following people through the platform recommendations and the level of education, that is, the higher the level of education, the lower is the frequency regarding finding and following people suggested by the platform recommendation system.Keywords: education; SAPO Campus; recommenda...

ABSTRACT The emergence of online environments created a space where individuals can work on the construction and reconstruction of the self. Introducing a case study developed at the University of Aveiro – Portugal, this paper discusses the importance and challenges of building a representation the self in online contexts and addresses the main differences between building the self in physical and online environments. Data were collected through the application of questionnaires, direct observation and in-depth interviews, made to the participants of the study, 13 individuals, convenience sample. From the analysis of the collected data, a framework and a model have emerged: the Online Identity Analysis Model. By applying the model to the information shared by each participant in three online spaces (Facebook, Twitter and SAPO Campus, an institutionally supported platform), two main online identity profiles were outlined: the context-driven online identity profile and the user-driven online identity profile. By presenting the main results of a study focused on the construction of the self in online contexts, this paper should be understood as an approach and/or a starting point for a more wider and profound analysis of the online self and therefore contribute to the understanding of the importance of building a presence over the web, advantages and challenges included.

Supported by Chou's Octalysis Framework (2016) in the design of activities, this article investigates how Octalysis framework-based reading and writing activities can be conducive to foster the learning of reading and writing in English as a Foreign Language by primary education pupils in a collaborative project-based learning context. A case study was carried out in a third-grade classroom in a Portuguese private school. The sessions, developed in face-to-face and online modes, were organized according to pupils' answers to a questionnaire-to identify their learning preferences. Qualitative data, collected through sessions' audio and video recordings, pupils' assignments, group assessments, and cloze tests became the basis of this paper. Results revealed that pupils were motivated and engaged in performing reading and writing tasks, having improved their reading and writing skills, and also promoted the development of social and cognitive soft skills.

More teacher-centred in general, Higher Education Institutions are moving towards the incorporation of innovative and interactive practices and programmes, and in the last decades e- and b-learning have increasingly become credible alternatives to traditional modes of teaching and learning, and rethinking their curricula and strategies to incorporate e-approaches and digital technologies. The catalysts for this change thrive on the need to keep pace with other universities and recruiting students. The main goal of this paper is to briefly describe a PhD programme of the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and to put forward some selected blended strategies, namely concerning the use of digital technology to enhance learning and develop academic skills. Even though this paper does not directly address the topic of ESP, best practices described here are multi-disciplinary in nature, and offer insights as regards teaching practices and clues for academic and professional development and re...

Information and communication overload have gained a new dimension in today's digital world. The exposure to the volume of information being distributed has probably never been so high due to the rapid increase of communication channels at our disposal. Facing great volumes of information (and communication channels) may cause constraints in our personal and professional lives and therefore it requires the ability to deal with and solve the problems related with them. This chapter presents the DigComp, a tool that proposes a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are part of digital competence, one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and essential for participation in our increasingly digitalised society. It takes the stance that the DigComp may work as a foundation for “calculating” the boundaries of that so-called overload. The intention is to find in this tool the right ally to gauge the acquisition of competences that will make any user more critically aw...

In order to promote the inclusion of children with Special Needs in Arts Education Programmes of Music in Portugal, an Action-Research project began in September 2018. The present work-an Integrative Literature Review-aims to identify articles related to the theme of our study, analyse what the objectives of these studies were, their methodological options and the conclusions obtained. In this way we will have an in-depth notion of the state of art, or what is already known about the inclusion of children with motor disabilities due to Cerebral Palsy in music teaching. We began by conducting a search through selected keywords in English in the search engine b-on and Google Scholar, and in the following databases: Science Direct, Scopus, ERIC, Scielo and Web of Science. Sixty articles related to the theme of our study were selected. All the compiled information was organised and studied by content analysis supported by the webQDA software.
Among the results obtained, we found the need to invest in specialised teacher training, in curricular adaptations considering the students’ potentialities and in enabling contexts and accessibility. The studies also refer the need to develop a collaborative network, that includes designers, teachers, participants, parents, therapists, researchers, etc. so that musical instruments, or digital technologies that replace them, are accessible to all and suited to their individual needs. In this way, the inclusion of people with Special Needs in Arts Education Programmes of Music will be a reality.

In order to contribute to Inclusive Education of children with Special Needs in Arts education programmes in Portugal, an Action-Research project started at the University of Aveiro in 2018. We intend to find solutions for children with motor disabilities due to Cerebral Palsy who enter in music Arts education programmes in the First Cycle of Basic Education, to develop their music potential and abilities through the use of Digital Technologies and Assistive Technologies. We used the Action Research and Content Analysis supported by Computer-assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software webQDA platform throughout our study. We present what has been done so far: literature review, short training workshop and characterization of the child. With the compiled information it was determined that it is necessary to carry out an Intervention Programme in the Artistic School of the Conservatory of Music Calouste Gulbenkian, Aveiro. This includes a music teachers' intensive Training Workshop focused on the use of Digital Technologies and Assistive Technology, to promote the inclusion of children with Special Needs in music Arts education programmes.

In order to contribute to the Inclusive Education of Children with Special Needs in the Arts Education Programmes of Music in Portugal, an Action-Research project was started in 2018. With this work we intend to characterize the child that originated the study and to relate their characterization with studies obtained in the literature review, whose theme is the inclusion of children with Special Needs in music teaching. The studies considered highlighted some barriers and point out some facilitators to an effective inclusion. We also sought authors to help us reflect on the learning processes of the child, their development, the specific relationship between adult and child (scaffolding) and social interactions in the context in which they live. The analysis of “Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory” and “Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory of Human Development” presented us with this possibility.
Besides the literature review, nine interviews were carried out, considering the mother and the different education and health professionals who work with the child. All information compiled was organised and studied through content analysis supported by Computer-assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software on the webQDA platform. The results highlight the importance of using assistive technology, music software, adapted musical instruments, etc., in the learning of music, as we found in the literature. They also point out the need for individualised support (people), the need to promote the skills of the professionals working with the child, the accessibility of spaces and the adaptations of programmes. We propose the development of training courses to promote Inclusion.

In order to contribute to the Inclusive Education of children with Special Needs in the
Specialized Artistic Teaching of Music in Portugal, an Action-Research project started in 2018. Our objective is to show the results of the diagnosis made on the characterization of the child with Cerebral Palsy that originated the study. For this, nine interviews were carried out, considering the person in charge of the child’s education and the different education and health professionals who work with that child. All the compiled information was organized and studied through content analysis supported by software on the webQDA platform, using the Sources, Coding and Questioning tools, which proved to be effective for the characterization of the child. The results
obtained allow us to observe that the interviewees consider the child's personal characteristics relevant from a temporal perspective. That is, they refer to aspects that pertain to the child’s past, present and future perspectives. In all of these aspects, the importance given to the use of Support Products, curriculum adaptations and the support network (people) is evident for the child under study to be successful, namely in the learning of Music. The need to enhance the different factors in the contexts (environment) is highlighted, promoting accessibility.

O avanço da globalização e da web 2.0 e as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) passaram a influenciar as redações de jornalismo, bem como impactar nos processos de produção, transmissão e consumo da notícia. Essas mudanças aconteceram não somente no âmbito profissional, mas também na formação acadêmica do jornalista do futuro. Pela necessidade de um profissional multimídia, o curso de jornalismo passou por diferentes mudanças curriculares para aperfeiçoar o conteúdo que é ministrado em sala de aula às novas tendências do mercado de trabalho, inserindo temáticas, em seu currículo, como ‘Práticas de Jornalismo Multimídia’ e ‘Cultura das Mídias’, na perspectiva de discutir a atual revolução tecnológica e suas implicações no fazer jornalismo no século XXI. Diante disso, viu-se a possibilidade de trabalhar com as Narrativas Hipertextuais como ferramenta pedagógica, tendo em vista que ela interliga em uma mesma rede diferentes blocos de conteúdo (texto, imagens, vídeos, áudios e infográficos) e proporciona a flexibilidade cognitiva. A aprendizagem com as Narrativas Hipertextuais se faz necessária tanto na prática educativa e formadora desses profissionais, como na prática social e na complexidade procedimental para lidar com a variedade e quantidade de informação e recursos tecnológicos produzidos nos espaços de atuação. Este trabalho faz uma revisão de literatura para refletir sobre o papel das Narrativas Hipertextuais enquanto ferramenta pedagógica no processo de ensinoa-prendizagem de alunos de jornalismo. Esta pesquisa observou que as Narrativas Hipertextuais propiciam interação e construção colaborativa de conhecimento em sala de aula, além de desenvolverem habilidades para escrever, ler, interpretar textos, hipertextos e lidar com as TIC no atual cenário da Era da Convergência que a sociedade tem presenciado.

Supported by Chou’s Octalysis Framework (2016) in the design of activities, this article investigates how Octalysis framework-based reading and writing activities can be conducive to foster the learning of reading and writing in English as a Foreign Language by primary education pupils in a collaborative project-based learning context.

A case study was carried out in a third-grade classroom in a Portuguese private school. The sessions, developed in face-to-face and online modes, were organized according to pupils’ answers to a questionnaire – to identify their learning preferences. Qualitative data, collected through sessions’ audio and video recordings, pupils’ assignments, group assessments, and cloze tests became the basis of this paper. Results revealed that pupils were motivated and engaged in performing reading and writing tasks, having improved their reading and writing skills, and also promoted the development of social and cognitive soft skills.
