Education for environmental citizenship in pre-service teachers: potentialities and limitations of a pedagogical approach applied at a distance
Get PDFThe 21st century can be defined as the era of “global environmental crisis”. The education
for environmental citizenship pedagogical approach is a strategy with potentialities for meeting
the challenge of a sustainable future. This case study sought to evaluate the effect of an ecology
course, organized according to the education for environmental citizenship pedagogical approach
and supported by Web 2.0 tools, on a group of Portuguese female pre-service teachers (n = 21). No
previous studies resorted to this approach to organize courses for initial teacher training or used
Web 2.0 to support its implementation. Thorough semi-structured interviews and the analysis of
the resources produced, it was found that the pre-service teachers considered the approach to be
structured, interesting and motivating, with positive impacts on the development of several attributes
of an environmental citizen. The experience with the pedagogical approach fostered the didactic
knowledge of the pre-service teachers, regarding how to implement activities of this nature. The
Web 2.0 tools used to support the implementation of the pedagogical approach—Facebook and
MindMeister—were positively appreciated by the participants. However, some identified difficulties
suggest the necessity of using other platforms more frequented by youngsters. The distance-learning
context imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic did not function as a big barrier to the pedagogical
approach’s implementation. Suggestions for future research are presented, built on the limitations of

A sequência de ensino como estratégia de articulação entre a competência (meta)linguística e a produção escrita do texto de opinião no ensino secundário.
Get PDFA escrita argumentativa é uma das atividades mais complexas que os alunos realizam no
final da escolaridade obrigatória. O grau de exigência desta aprendizagem explica “a
necessidade da atenção contínua que lhe é conferida” (Rodrigues, 2020, p. 296). Uma das
fontes de dificuldades textuais mais correntes, apontada em provas avaliativas (Rodrigues
& Silvano, 2015), refere‐se ao plano da coesão textual e à conexão entre as partes do
texto. Isto também indicia a falta de mobilização dos conhecimentos linguísticos,
previsivelmente adquiridos pelos alunos, para resolverem estes problemas de escrita.
Deste modo, considerando que é impossível escrever sem se envolver em atividades
linguísticas em algum nível (Myhill & Jones, 2015), os géneros mais formais necessitam de
ser aprendidos de modo sistemático na escola. Neste processo, é fulcral que estas
atividades linguísticas sejam desenvolvidas de forma reflexiva (Gombert, 1992) e
consciente, possibilitando um controle da linguagem na produção escrita (Vygotsky, 2001).
Portanto, articular o domínio da gramática com o domínio da escrita seria uma forma de
ativar os recursos linguísticos necessários à construção do texto, já que ensinar e aprender
a escrever também requer reflexão sobre a linguagem e seus usos formais (Dolz, 2020).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
An analysis of positional generic and individualized speed thresholds within the most demanding phases of match play in the english premier league
No full textTo analyze the positional distances covered above generic and individualized speed thresholds within the most demanding phases of match play. Categorized by position, 17 English Premier League players’ match data were analyzed over 2 consecutive seasons (2019–20 and 2020–21). The most demanding phases of play were determined using a rolling average across 4 periods of 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes. Distance covered in the time above the standard speed of 5.5 m/s was analyzed, with individualized metrics based on the maximal aerobic speed (MAS) test data. Results: Central defenders displayed lower values for high-intensity periods when compared with fullbacks, midfielders, and wide midfielders for both generic and individualized metrics. MAS during 1-minute periods was significantly higher for forwards when compared with central defenders (82.9 [18.9] vs 67.5 [14.8] for maximum high-speed running [HSR] and 96.0 [15.9] vs 75.7 [13.8] HSR for maximum MAS activity). The maximum effect size differences between the central midfielders, wide midfielders, and fullbacks for HSR and MAS measures under the maximum HSR criterion was 0.28 and 0.18 for the 1-minute period, 0.36 and 0.19 for the 3-minute period, 0.46 and 0.31 for the 5-minute period, and 0.49 and 0.315 for the 10-minute period. Conclusions: Individualized speed metrics may provide a more precise and comparable measure than generic values. Data appear to be consistent across playing positions except for central defenders. This information may allow practitioners to directly compare individualized physical outputs of non–central defenders during the most demanding phases of play regardless of the players’ positional group. This may provide coaches with important information regarding session design, training load, and fatigue monitoring.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Exploring OpenStack for Scalable and Cost-Effective Virtualization in Education
No full texthe technological landscape of cloud computing has transformed significantly with the advent of virtualization, allowing for the provision of computing resources over the internet. The leading cloud computing software providers offer this new concept, and various service providers currently exist, providing options for virtualizing services on-premises as well. OpenStack presents an open-source alternative for
building virtual local or cloud setups that support petabytes of data, unlimited scale, and configurable networking. The tool’s features make it an ideal solution for large scale virtualization, reducing maintenance costs and optimizing hardware resource utilization, particularly in education and government sectors. This paper presents an overview of the OpenStack software, with a focus on constructing a scalable hosting architecture tailored to educational settings. We discuss functional and architectural details that are essential to implementing unique cloud computing models for virtualization purposes. We describe an experimental virtualization setup that was implemented within an educational scenario, along with a guideline for configuring OpenStack. Overall, this study offers insights into the potential of OpenStack for virtualizing large-scale educational setups, paving the way for cost-effective and efficient resource utilization.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
IoT-Based Monitoring System for Photovoltaic Battery Management
Get PDFAs number of photovoltaic systems being installed is increasing, also many users are deciding to include batteries, and postpone the consumption of that energy when it is most needed. Moreover,a crucial issue can keep undetected for long time causing dangerous situation which can lead to a potential disaster. However, the chemical nature of batteries makes them unreliable and dangerous. In this risky scenario, it becomes essential to monitor their behaviour in order to avoid accidents. In that purpose, a enabled Internet of Things (IoT) framework is proposed for monitoring the batteries values for temperature and voltage through the use of sensors. If these values becomes abnormal, a notification is triggered to the responsible person. Based on experimental results, the proposed framework to detect and notify hazard situations caused by battery faults.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
IoT Smart Collect - Routing Process and Driver Guidance
Get PDFWaste collection is a traditional process that involves a driver collecting waste from a set of designated deposits based on a pre-determined route. The authors present a new approach that utilizes Artificial Intelligence to define the route based on the occupancy volume of the deposits. The new process involves the use of a mobile application to assist the driver during the journey. The application communicates with the central system to receive information on the next route, calculates the best possible route considering traffic laws and road conditions, and guides the driver throughout the journey. The application also provides real-time updates on the driver’s progress and allows the driver to provide feedback All collected data is stored and can be consulted and explored through lists, graphs, and filtering options. The authors believe that the new approach will improve the efficiency of waste collection and provide a better experience for the driver.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Physical exercise and motor competence in children: systematic review
No full textA potencial interação entre atividade física (AF) e a competência motora (CM) e em crianças ainda não é totalmente clara. Esta revisão objetivou investigar quais os efeitos do exercício físico (EF, componente da AF) na CM e vice-versa em crianças dos 2 aos 10 anos. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases PubMed. Ebsco e Web of Science. Os estudos foram incluídos de acordo com os critérios: crianças dos 2 aos 10 anos sem restrições para a prática EF e com desenvolvimento motor típico; intervenção com EF supervisionado por profissionais de exercício. A avaliação da qualidade foi realizada pela checklist Downs and Black. Foram incluídos seis estudos, os quais evidenciaram que o EF melhora a CM, desenvolve as habilidades motoras fundacionais (HMF) e melhora as funções executivas em crianças dos 2 aos 10 anos. Sugere-se a inclusão nas aulas de educação física do treino neuromuscular e jogos com vista à melhoria da CM e desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras fundacionais, de modo a aumentar os níveis de AF desde cedo. A relação entre o EF e CM parece ser bidirecional.The potential interaction between physical activity (PA) and motor competence (MC) and in children is still not entirely clear. This review aimed to investigate the effects of physical exercise (PE, a component of PA) on CM and vice versa in children aged 2 to 10 years. The search was conducted in PubMed. Ebsco and Web of Science. The studies were included according to the following criteria: children aged 2 to 10 years with no restrictions for physical activity and with typical motor development; intervention with physical activity supervised by exercise professionals. The quality assessment was performed using the Downs and Black checklist. Six studies were included, which showed that the PE improves the MC, develops the foundational motor skills (FMS) and improves the executive functions in children aged 2 to 10 years. It is suggested to include neuromuscular training and games in physical education classes to improve CM and develop foundational motor skills in order to increase PA levels from an early age. The relationship between PE and CM seems to be bidirectional.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Breathing in karate kokyo technique in static imagetic and in motor performance in children of different graduations between 6 and 15 years of age
No full textNo karaté o movimento está em estreita articulação com um fluxo respiratório diafragmático controlado. Como a respiração diafragmática ativa o sistema nervoso parassimpático e reduz a frequência respiratória (CR), fomos verificar se crianças e jovens de diferentes graduações de karaté revelavam alteração na CR e na variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC), nas condições de imagética estática (I) e de execução motora (E) da técnica kokyo. Os anos de prática e os anos de competição em Katas revelaram associação direta com a potência de baixa frequência, indicadora de VFC (rho=,614, p=,025; rho=,581, p=,038, respetivamente), podendo indicar que é possível que crianças integrem a respiração na execução do kokyo. A frequência de treino semanal associou-se inversamente com CR (rho=-,584, p=,036) e diretamente com LF (rho=,581, p=,038), na condição E, pelo que deve ser importante para a articulação entre respiração e movimento nestes níveis de formação. Como nos indicadores de VFC e para CR não se encontrou associação entre as condições I e E, é provável que o recurso à imagética, só por si, não propicie sincronização de respiração e movimento no kokyo em crianças, mas permitiu evidenciar o efeito agudo da respiração no aumento da VFC. A análise dos CR e da VFC permitiu apreciar a efetiva capacidade de ajustamento da respiração ao movimento na execução do kokyo nestas crianças.In karate the movement is in close articulation with a controlled diaphragmatic respiratory flow. As diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces the respiratory rate (CR), we checked whether children of different karate graduations showed changes in CR and heart rate variability (HRV), in the conditions of static imagery (I) and motor execution (E) of the kokyo technique. Years of practice and years of competition in Katas revealed a direct association with low frequency, an HRV indicator ((rho=,614, p=,025; rho=,581, p=,038, respectively), which may indicate that it is possible for children to integrate breathing in the performance of kokyo. The weekly training frequency was inversely associated with CR (rho=-,584, p=,036) and directly with LF (rho=,581, p=,038), in condition E, so it must be important for the articulation between breathing and movement in these training levels. As no association was found between conditions I and E in the HRV and CR indicators, it is likely that the use of imagery alone does not provide synchronization of breathing and movement in kokyo in children, but allowed to highlight the acute effect of breathing on the HRV increase. The analysis of CR and HRV made it possible to assess the effective ability to adjust breathing and movement in the performance of kokyo in these children.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
