O papel da coordenação pedagógica na implementação de um projeto de Cidadania e Igualdade de Género numa Instituição de Educação de Infância
Get PDFMestrado em Administração EducacionalEste estudo pretendeu identificar práticas de cidadania e igualdade de género
na educação de infância numa instituição privada de solidariedade social e práticas de
formação contínua, identificando sugestões para a implementação de um projeto de
formação nesta área.
O trabalho partiu do reconhecimento da importância da coordenação pedagógica
na promoção de práticas de formação e de um trabalho mais cooperativo a nível da
equipa educativa. Neste sentido, reconhece-se que o trabalho na área da cidadania e
igualdade de género não pode ser pontual e necessita ser planeado a nível institucional.
A recolha de dados foi realizada a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas a partir
de um guião orientador previamente testado. As entrevistas foram feitas à coordenadora
pedagógica da instituição, a duas educadoras e às duas auxiliares das salas de 4 anos
do jardim de infância.
A análise dos dados evidenciou que deverá haver um maior envolvimento da
coordenadora pedagógica na promoção do trabalho de equipa entre as educadoras e
auxiliares incentivando a formação contínua.
Deste estudo resultou a definição de um projeto de formação a promover a nível
institucional para a implementação da cidadania e igualdade de género no jardim de
infância envolvendo todos/as os/as crianças, encarregados de educação e os/as
profissionais docentes e não docentes que trabalham com as criançasThis study intended to identify citizenship and gender equality practices in childhood
education in a private institution of social solidarity and continuous training practices,
identifying suggestions for the implementation of a training project in this area.
The work started from the recognition of the importance of pedagogical coordination
promotion of training practices and of a more cooperative work at the level of the
educational team. In this way, it's recognized that the work in the citizenship and gender
equality's area can't be punctual and needs to be planned at an institutional level.
The data collection was carried out from interviews semi-mixed from an orientation guide
previously tested. The interviews were made to the institution's pedagogical coordinator,
two kindergarten teachers and the two assistants from the kindergarten's rooms of 4
years old children.
The data analysis evidenced that there should be a bigger involvement from the
pedagogical coordinator in the team work's promotion between the kindergarten
teachers and the kindergarten assistants, encouraging the continuous training.
From this study, it resulted the definition of a training project promoting at institutional
level to the implementation of the citizenship and gender equality in the kindergarten
involving all children, guardians and teaching and non-teaching professionals who work
with
children.N/
Integração curricular do pensamento computacional: que desafios para os professores?
Get PDFEste estudo procura investigar os desafios enfrentados pelos professores do
1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico (1º CEB) ao integrarem o Pensamento Computacional (PC)
nas suas práticas pedagógicas, considerando a inclusão desta capacidade no currí culo nacional da Matemática. A pesquisa apresenta uma experiência de formação
que visa abordar o PC com professores e apoiá-los na prática pedagógica.
A integração curricular do PC implica o conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo
e o conhecimento tecnológico dos professores, dada a estreita relação desta capaci dade com o uso da tecnologia, em especial com a programação visual e tangível.
A metodologia adotada segue uma abordagem de natureza qualitativa e inter pretativa, com alguns dados quantitativos descritivos. Os dados foram recolhidos por
meio de inquéritos por questionário e entrevistas semiestruturada.
Os resultados indicam que, após a experiência, os participantes ainda apre sentam fragilidades no conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo. No entanto, observa se uma evolução positiva no uso da tecnologia como suporte ao PC. Destaca-se ainda
a necessidade de formação relacionada com as práticas associadas ao PC, as mu danças na metodologia do ensino da Matemática, incluindo a avaliação de alunosThis study aims to investigate the challenges faced by teachers in the 1st Cycle
of Basic Education (1st CEB) when integrating Computational Thinking (CT) into their
pedagogical practices, considering the inclusion of this skill in the national Mathemat ics curriculum. The research presents a training experience aimed at addressing CT
with teachers and supporting them in pedagogical practice.
The curricular integration of CT implies teachers' pedagogical knowledge of
content and their technological knowledge, given the close relationship of this skill with
the use of technology, especially with visual and tangible programming.
The adopted methodology follows a qualitative and interpretative approach,
with some descriptive quantitative data. Data were collected through questionnaire
surveys and semi-structured interviews.
The results indicate that, after the experience, participants still exhibit weak nesses in pedagogical content knowledge. However, there is a positive evolution in
the use of technology as support for CT. There is also a highlighted need for training
related to practices associated with CT, changes in the methodology of teaching Math ematics, including student assessment.N/
O desenvolvimento do sentido de número em crianças do pré-escolar a partir de tarefas de classificação e contagem
Get PDFMestrado em Educação Pré-EscolarO presente relatório de estágio foi desenvolvido no âmbito do Mestrado em
Educação Pré-escolar, integrando os estágios em contexto de creche, jardim de infância
e de experiência profissional na creche. Está dividido em três partes: o trabalho
desenvolvido nos estágios; a componente investigativa na área da matemática, em
particular, no desenvolvimento do sentido de número a partir de tarefas de classificação
e contagem e uma reflexão sobre o trabalho desenvolvido. Como objetivos de
investigação pretendeu-se analisar como é que crianças com idades compreendidas
entre os 3 e 4 anos desenvolvem o sentido de número a partir de tarefas de classificação
e contagem e conhecer a perspetiva de educadoras de infância relativamente ao
desenvolvimento do sentido de número, no que diz respeito à classificação e contagem.
Os resultados deste estudo evidenciam que as crianças têm maior facilidade em
realizar tarefas de classificação do que tarefas de contagem, pese embora a maioria
das crianças já ter adquirido o princípio da sequência oral e da correspondência termo
a termo.
No que diz respeito às perspetivas das educadoras de infância averiguou-se que
apenas uma das educadoras relaciona o sentido de número às tarefas de classificação.
Contudo todas as educadoras dizem promover o sentido de número diariamente através
de tarefas de contagem com recurso a diversos materiais e em momentos de rotina
diária.This internship report was developed as a component of the Master's Degree
program in Pre-school Education, encompassing internships conducted within nursery
schools, kindergartens, and professional experiences in nursery school settings. The
report is structured into three main sections: firstly, detailing the activities undertaken
during the internships; secondly, delving into the investigative aspect, particularly
focusing on the development of number sense among young children through
classification and counting tasks; and finally, reflecting upon the experiences gained
throughout the internships.
The primary research objectives were to analyze the developmental progression
of number sense among children aged between 3 and 4, specifically through
classification and counting tasks, and to gather insights from nursery school teachers
regarding their perspectives on fostering number sense through similar activities.
The findings of this study reveal that children generally demonstrate greater
proficiency in classification tasks compared to counting tasks, despite many of them
having already grasped the principles of oral sequencing and term-to-term
correspondence. Regarding the perspectives of kindergarten teachers, only one teacher
explicitly associates number sense with classification tasks, while all educators affirm
that they consistently encourage the development of number sense through diverse
counting activities utilizing various materials and incorporating them into daily routines.N/
Relação família e escola: o uso de aplicativo de acompanhamento e monitoramento escolar
Get PDFO presente estudo teve como propósito investigar o uso de Tecnologias de Informação e
Comunicação como mediadoras na tríade escola-estudante-família, considerando o uso de
aplicativos de acompanhamento e monitoramento escolar. A intenção é avaliar, utilizando a revisão
da literatura e um estudo exploratório, se estes aplicativos contribuem ou não como facilitadores do
diálogo, da aproximação e do estreitamento de laços dessa tríade.
A metodologia utilizada é o estudo de casos e envolve técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa, entrevistas
semiestruturadas. Foram conduzidas dezoito entrevistas, distribuídas entre oito estudantes e seus
respectivos familiares, bem como a direção de duas Instituições escolares. A abordagem buscou
captar perspectivas de famílias, estudantes e membros da direção escolar.
Observou-se, através da análise dos dados recolhidos, a importância e a necessidade do
estreitamento desses laços e a contribuição para a formação, segurança e a melhora dos resultados
acadêmicos, diante da necessidade de terem suporte familiar nas atividades diárias acadêmicas,
evidenciando o papel ativo e fundamental da escola na moderação, cuidado e acolhimento.
A pesquisa conduzida identificou ainda a necessidade de composição de recursos e estratégias
para não apenas estabelecer parcerias entre escola e família, mas também para permear um
vínculo de cumplicidade e apoio aos estudantes, respeitando a sua individualidade. O objetivo é
acompanhá-los de modo a permitir seu crescimento e desenvolvimento com autonomia e
responsabilidade, garantindo o respeito aos seus anseios e limites. Isso visa criar um ambiente de
empatia e amparo, ao mesmo tempo em que potencializa suas habilidades para alcançarem uma
formação saudável e extensiva.The present study had as a purpose investigating the use of Information and Communications
Technologies as mediators on the family-student-school triad, considering the use of school follow up and monitoring applications. The intention is to assess, using the revision of the literature and an
exploratory study, whether these applications contribute or not as facilitators of dialogue,
rapprochement and strengthening the bonds within this triad.
The methodology employed is the case study and involves qualitative research techniques, semi structured interviews. Eighteen interviews were conducted, distributed among eight students and
their respective families, as well as both school’s directing boards investigated. The approach sought
to capture perspectives from families, students and members of the school’s directing board.
It was observed, through the analysis of the collected data, the importance and necessity of
strengthening these bonds and the contribution to the education, safety and better academic results,
given the need of having family support in daily academic activities, highlighting the active and
fundamental school’s role in moderating, caring and sheltering.
The conducted research further identified the necessity of composing resources and strategies
aiming not only to establish collaboration among school and family, but also to permeate a bond of
complicity and support for the students, respecting their individuality. The objective is to accompany
them so as to allow their growth and development with autonomy and responsibility, assuring respect
to their urges and boundaries. It strives to create an environment of empathy and support, and also
simultaneously potentializes their abilities to achieve a healthy and extensive formation.N/
Modelo de negócio social:o caso da Congregação das Servas de Nossa Senhora de Fátima
Get PDFDissertação, Mestrado, Gestão de Organizações de Economia Social, Instituto Politécnico de Santarém, Escola Superior de Gestão e Tecnologia, 2024A presente dissertação de mestrado enquadra-se no âmbito da gestão de organizações de economia social e trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado numa congregação religiosa.
O objetivo deste estudo prende-se com a elaboração de um modelo de negócio social para a congregação, sob forma de manutenção de duas das suas casas, uma em Santarém e outra em Lisboa. Este modelo de negócio social foi baseado no quadro de modelo de negócio Canvas, de Osterwalder e Pigneur (2011).
Os métodos utilizados para a recolha de informação foram inquéritos por questionário, semiestruturados, com perguntas abertas e fechadas, focus group e entrevistas.
Os inquéritos foram aplicados aos utilizadores de ambas as casas, uma vez que estas estão abertas ao público e existe a possibilidade de as pessoas usufruírem de serviços, nomeadamente, de aluguer de espaços.
O focus group e as entrevistas foram realizados também com utilizadores das casas e outros stakeholders da Congregação. Relativamente aos resultados do estudo, tendo em conta as respostas aos inquéritos e os contributos dos participantes no focus group e dos entrevistados, chegou-se ao modelo de negócio social final, onde em relação ao modelo inicialmente criado, se reflete numa maior abrangência ao nível das propostas de valor, canais de comunicação, potenciais clientes e receitas.
Deste estudo é possível tirar, essencialmente, três conclusões. A primeira é a necessidade de uma maior divulgação dos serviços da Congregação; depois a pertinência que tem a abertura de atividade económica por parte desta e, por fim, é também conveniente que se apliquem preços aos serviços prestados, dada a
inviabilidade de funcionar apenas com base em donativos.This master's thesis falls within the scope of the management of social economy organisations and is a case study carried out in a religious congregation. The aim of this study, carried out between March and December 2023, was to develop a social business model for the congregation, in the form of maintaining two of
its houses, one in Santarém and the other in Lisbon. This social business model was based on the Canvas business model framework by Osterwalder and Pigneur (2011).The methods used to gather information were semi-structured questionnaire surveys with open and closed questions, focus group and interviews.
The surveys were applied to users of both houses, since they are open to the public and there is the possibility of people taking advantage of services, namely renting space.
The focus group and interviews were also carried out with users of the houses and other stakeholders in the congregation. With regard to the results of the study, taking into account the responses to the surveys and the contributions of the focus group participants and interviewees, the final social business model was arrived at, where compared to the model initially created, it is reflected in greater comprehensiveness in terms of value propositions, communication channels, potential clients and revenues.
Three main conclusions can be drawn from this study. The first is the need for the Congregation's services to be better publicised; the second is the relevance of opening up economic activity and, finally, it is also advisable to apply prices to the services provided, given the impossibility of operating solely on the basis of donations.N/
Innovative learning environments: a learning experience with in-service teachers
No full textThe challenges of modern society have led educators to reconceptualize formal learning spaces, into flexible spaces, imbued with technologies and active methodologies. To
achieve this goal, a course was developed in an in-service teacher education Master program to support teachers in developing learning scenarios for innovative learning environments (ILEs). The aims of the current study are to understand the impact of this course on teachers’ preparation to create learning scenarios appropriate for ILEs, and on teachers’ perspectives about the potential benefits and challenges of ILEs. Twelve in-service teachers enrolled in the Master program participated in the study. Data collection
included teachers’ assignments, learning scenarios and a survey. Results showed that developing learning scenarios had a positive influence on teachers’ perspectives toward
ILEs. Specifically, the participants revealed that they had developed skills to elaborate, implement and assess learning scenarios in ILE; and to reflect on the contribution of ILEs to teaching innovation, to curricular management and to teachers’ practices. Moreover, the course improved their awareness about the importance of interdisciplinarity and teacher collaboration. These findings suggest that the skills developed by the teachers during the course could be mobilized for their practice due to their willingness to innovate in their schools.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Predictability and complexity of fine and gross motor skills in fibromyalgia patients: a pilot study
Get PDFBackground: Fine and gross motor tasks are usually used to evaluate behavioral dysfunctions
and can be applied to diseases of the central nervous system, such as fibromyalgia (FM).
Non-linear measures have allowed for deeper motor control analysis, focusing on the process and
on the quality of movement. Therefore, to assess uncertainty, irregularity, and structural richness
of a time series, different algorithms of entropy can be computed. The aim of this study was to
(i) verify the single-scale and multiscale entropy values in fine and gross motor movements and (ii) to
verify whether fine and gross motor tasks are sensitive to characterizing FM patients. Methods: The
sample consisted of 20 females (46.2 ± 12.8 years) divided in two groups, an experimental group
with 10 FM subjects and a control group with 10 subjects without FM. Inertial sensors were used
to collect the finger tapping test (FTT), walking, and sit-and-stand task data. Results: Regarding
fine motor skills, patients with FM showed a loss of structural richness (complexity), but they had
information processing with greater control in the FTT, probably to simplify task execution and for
correction of the movement. On the other hand, people without FM seemed to have more automatic
control of the movement when performed with the preferred hand and exhibited similar difficulties
to the FM group when performed with the non-preferred hand. Gross motor tasks showed similar
entropy values for both groups. Conclusions: The results show that FM patients have movement
controls primarily at the level of the motor cortex, whereas people without FM perform movement at
the medullary level, especially in fine motor tasks, indicating that the FTT is sensitive to the presence
of FM, especially when performed with the preferred hand.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The Relative Age Effect across an International Soccer Programme in Male and Female Players Aged 12 Years Old to Seniors
Get PDFThe purpose of the study was to examine the prevalence of the Relative Age Effect (RAE) across an international
soccer programme in male and female players aged 12 years old to seniors. One hundred forty-five male (age: 18.8 ± 4.6
years; body mass: 68.1 ± 10.2 kg; body height: 177.3 ± 10.5 cm) and 218 female (age: 15.9 ± 4.6 years; body mass: 66.2 ±
10.5 kg; body height: 170.6 ± 8.3 cm) players from a National Association were assessed. All participants were divided
into four quartiles: January to March (BQ1), April to June (BQ2), July to September (BQ3), and October to December
(BQ4). The results showed that the distributions for all male squads were significantly skewed, with more players than
expected from BQ1 in the U-21, U-19, and U-17 and less players than expected from BQ4 in the U-19 squad. The
distributions for all female squads showed significantly more players than expected from BQ1 in the U-16 and less players
than expected from BQ4 in the U-14 squad. The distributions across the different positions for the male squads combined
were significantly skewed with more forward players than expected from BQ1 and less forward and midfielder players
than expected from BQ4. For the female squads, there were significantly more BQ1 defenders from the U-16 squad than
expected. In conclusion, this study unveils significant disparities in quartile distributions among male and female squads.
Moreover, the data emphasize the potential impact of heightened physical demands in certain positions on the RAE.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

in women in labor. The Midwife, being the professional most present during labor, is considered the most qualified to apply non-pharmacological pain relief measures, such as
dance therapy. A scoping review was carried out to map the existing scientific evidence on the effects of dance therapy on pain relief during labor, answering the review question
"What is the effect of dance therapy on pain relief during labor?". The studies analysed show that it is an effective method for relieving pain and promoting comfort. They also reinforce the positive impact it has on the satisfaction of the labor experience and on maternal-fetal well-being. Given the benefits of dance therapy, it is recommended that it be applied in the routine care provided by the Maternal and Obstetric Health Nurse Specialist to women/couples/significant others. It is suggested that further studies be carried out on this subject, covering the second stage of labor and its applicability in Portugal.N/
Sexual Education: European Health Promotion. Training Guide
Get PDFWorking on sexual education is one of the most pressing, but also one of the most difficult issues facing today’s
educational systems. Reflecting these challenges in an international project is an excellent opportunity to find
new reflections and approaches.
From a holistic, properly contextualized perspective, the EdSeX project presents well-founded work suggestions
that make us think about what is expected from sexual education, from childhood to higher education, reflecting
the training of professionals who work in area of health and education. There are many issues associated with
sexuality that continue to concern us and that need to be addressed from childhood.
Sexual identity begins to be defined early, and it is also early that stereotypical ideas begin to be constructed.
After many years in which biological determinism prevailed that considered the nature of men to be different
from the nature of women, the concept of gender considers that the cultural issues associated with sexual
identity are a social construct. Conceiving the definition of gender, in a broad, multidimensional sense, taking
into account identity, sexual orientation, personal skills and interests, the deconstruction of stereotypical ideas
is the basis for building greater equity between everyone from childhood.
This process implies that sexual education begins by building a critical knowledge of oneself and of others,
in the recognition of diversity, from a citizenship perspective. Knowledge of oneself and of the other is also
the basis for understanding the social context and the variables that characterize it, namely the risks that an
uninformed sexuality can entail.
The prevention of sexual and emotional violence starts early and must be worked on constructively at the
various levels of education, without forgetting higher education and the training of future health and education
professionals who will have to do this work with increasingly diverse audiences. In this complex context, having
a support script based on diverse experiences is excellent guidance that the EdSeX project provides us.
This Guide promotes sexual education as a dynamic learning process, from a dialogical perspective, giving
visibility to sexual, linguistic and cultural diversity, using digital media in a constructive and critical way.
In addition to the work resources provided, the project has the added value of the methodological part built
that leaves the way open for the development of the work already started in the different countries involved,
in terms of training and research.
May the EdSeX project be the basis for the construction of many more projects!info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
