Global Schools: propostas de integração curricular de Educação para o Desenvolvimento e Cidadania Global no 1º e 2º CEB
Get PDFRecurso elaborado no âmbito do projeto “Global Schools: Aprender a (con)Viver”. Este proje-
to, decorrido entre 2015 e 2018, tem como objetivo promover e apoiar a integração das temá-
ticas de Educação para o Desenvolvimento e para a Cidadania Global no currículo do Ensino
Básico e envolve dezassete organizações (Organizações Não Governamentais, Autoridades
Locais e Instituições de Ensino Superior) de dez países europeus.Da Introdução: "... materiais educativos de Educação para o Desenvolvimento e para a Cidadania Global (ED/ECG), desenvolvidos no âmbito do projeto Global Schools: Aprender a (con)viver2, destinados a docentes do ensino básico. Se já possui alguma experiência nesta área, estes recursos são uma mais-valia para se inspirar, refletir e aprofundar ideias; se é principiante nesta área, esperamos que este seja o início de uma maravilhosa viagem de descobertas.
Como docentes sabemos, quase intuitivamente, que uma boa educação é aquela que permite às crianças desenvolverem um sentido de pertença à comunidade planetária. Queremos proporcionar-lhes tempo, espaço e incentivo para que possam parar e refletir sobre quem são, o que pensam e sentem acerca do mundo, e qual o seu papel no mesmo."Comissão EuropeiaC917-B3FD-1A62 | Maria Luísa Vieira das Nevesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Gabinete de Estudos de Educação para o Desenvolvimento: aprendizagens de um caminho percorrido
No full textDesde 2000, a Escola Superior de Educação (ESE-IPVC), uma escola integrada no Instituto
Politécnico de Viana do Castelo, cuja missão é formar profissionais qualificados nas áreas de
Educação, Trabalho Social, Artes e Cultura tem um Gabinete de Estudos para a Educação e
Desenvolvimento (GEED) que coordenou, durante 13 anos, um programa internacional de
Cooperação para o Desenvolvimento, na área da Educação, e um programa de voluntariado e
mobilidade com países africanos lusófonos, nomeadamente Angola, Cabo Verde e Guiné-Bissau.
Através desses programas, os e as estudantes tiveram a possibilidade de trabalhar e refletir
sobre questões relacionadas com a educação intercultural e a cidadania global.
Atualmente, o GEED está mais dedicado aos projetos de implementação e investigação na área
da Educação para o Desenvolvimento e para a Cidadania Global (ED/ECG). A experiência
adquirida pelo GEED e o seu pioneirismo nestas temáticas fez com que, em 2011, fosse
convidado pelo então Instituto Português de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento (atual CAMÕES,
Instituto de Cooperação e da Língua, I.P) para coordenar o processo de acompanhamento e
monitorização da Estratégia Nacional de Educação para o Desenvolvimento (ENED). Este papel
e experiência foram reforçados, em 2015, com a participação num projeto europeu, liderado
pela Província Autónoma de Trento, em Itália, o projeto Global Schools: Aprender a (con)viver
que visa a integração da ED/ECG nos currículos do ensino básico. Neste artigo é apresentada a
experiência do GEED partilhando-se alguns dos principais desafios e lições aprendidas. ABSTRACT: Since 2000, the Higher School of Education (ESE-IPVC), a school integrated in the Polytechnic
Institute of Viana do Castelo, whose mission is to educate qualified professionals in the fields of
Education, Social Work, Arts and Culture has a Unit for Education and Development
Studies (GEED) that run, for 15 years, an international program on Education and Cooperation
and a volunteer and mobility program with Lusophone African countries, namelyAngola, Cape-
Verde and Guinea-Bissau. Through those programs our students had the possibility to work and
reflect upon issues related to intercultural education and global citizenship.
Nowadays, GEED is more devoted to Development Education/Global Citizenship Education
(DE/GCE) implementation and research projects.Due to GEED’s reputation, in 2010 it was invited by the Portuguese Agency for Cooperation and Aid - CAMÕES, Institute of Cooperation and
Language - to work as a support team for the Steering Group of the Portuguese National Strategy
of Development Education. This role and experience was reinforced, in 2015 with the
participation in an international partnership, led by the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy,
in the project Global Schools: EYD 2015 to embed Global Learning in primary education, which
aims to address development issues in the formal educational curricula in Primary Schools. In
this paper some considerations are made and some lessons learned are shared.C917-B3FD-1A62 | Maria Luísa Vieira das Nevesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Health communication on social media: perceptions and influences
No full textThis study aimed to analyze how social media users perceived the health-related content disseminated in
this channel. Specifically, it was intended to verify how the dimensions “entertainment,” “interaction,”
“trendiness,” and “customization” impacted the “word-of-mouth” that the user could make to other
users regarding health-related content. The methodological approach involved a questionnaire survey
that integrated a set of statements, adapted from Kim and Ko’s study. Data were collected through an
online survey using a convenience sample composed of individuals from the northern region of Portugal.
As result, the authors found that the dimensions “entertainment,” “interaction,” and “trendiness” had
positive values. “Trendiness” stood out as the dimension with the greatest impact on “word-of-mouth.”
The dimensions “entertainment” and “customization” also showed to have an impact on “word-ofmouth” but in a more moderate way.691D-6753-BE59 | Manuel José Serra da FonsecaN/
Satisfaction scoring index for a musical festival during and after the event: the NOS Primavera Sound case study
Get PDFPurpose: We present a Satisfaction Scoring Index (SSI) for a musical festival during and after its occurrence, using the NOS Primavera Sound as a case study.
Methodology: Data from two random samples during and after the event were collected in the 2016 edition. The respondents were asked to rate their level of satisfaction throughout a five-point Likert scale (between 1 = “not satisfied” and 5 = “very satisfied”). The data were subjected to principal components analysis with varimax rotation to identify the weights of the level of satisfaction.
Originality: It is the first time that SSI is applied to a music festival. We created a new framework that allows the scoring and ranking of the level of satisfaction and, consequently, can be a tool to support decision-making.
Findings: The SSI during and after the festival is different. And the main difference is that the visitor attributes greater satisfaction to the musical stages during the event than after the event. This result is very relevant, and deserves a reflection on the part of the organization, since the stages are the core business of the event.
Practical Implications: Understanding satisfaction in the most famous musical festival of the North of Portugal and what attracts more foreign tourists, could support the organizers and other stakeholders to improve services for visitants, adapting them to their preferences and, ultimately, provide better service in subsequent editions.
Research limitations: We do not guarantee that the same festival visitors responded to the surveys during and after the event.B913-0565-0908 | Elvira VieiraN/

Circular economy, sharing, and sustainability: challenges for the social economy in a territory that wants to become a smart region
Get PDFThisstudy aimsto analyse the predisposition ofsocial economy agentsto resource sharing. To achieve
this, it was chosen to implement an exploratory qualitative approach directed to managers and an
exploratory quantitative approach directed to employees. The results allowed the authors to estimate
that they do have a significant economic impact on number, paid work, and business volume. The
relationship between the interest demonstration on sharing and the appropriate qualifications for the
jobs of managers and employees was shown. The practice of informal and non-regulated sharing
of own and third parties’ resources, among close partners, without the existence of a management
model of knowledge, assets, time, use/reuse, and exploitation was demonstrated. It is anticipated that
the study could serve as a scientific/methodological basis for a regional investment project, R&D,
and establishment of partnerships, reconciling interest in a smart region, as well as the application
of circular economy principles.691D-6753-BE59 | Manuel José Serra da FonsecaN/
Participation in community intervention programmes and quality of life: Findings from a multicenter study in Portugal
Get PDFObjetivo: Analisar a qualidade de vida (QV) em indivíduos que participam de programas
de intervenção comunitária (PIC) orientados para uma vida ativa e saudável. Método:
Estudo transversal multicêntrico com 304 participantes, com 55 anos ou mais de idade, a
viver na comunidade em três localidades portuguesas. Metade desses indivíduos (n=152)
envolvida em PIC (grupo de intervenção). Esse grupo foi emparelhado segundo sexo e
grupo etário com número equivalente de participantes (n=152) que não frequenta PIC
(grupo de comparação). As atividades dos PIC foram agrupadas segundo a sua natureza:
sociorrecreativas, educativas/aprendizagem ao longo da vida (ALV) e atividade física.
Recolheu-se informação usando Questionário de Participação Social, WHOQOL-Bref
e Escala de Satisfação com a Vida. Resultados: Os participantes dos PIC tinham média de
idade de 71,4 (±5,4) anos, eram predominantemente mulheres (75,0%), casados (65,4%),
com escolaridade inferior a cinco anos (71,7%) e rendimento familiar mensal até 750
euros (47,4%). O GI apresentou melhor QV no domínio físico do que o GC ( p<0,03). A
atividade física foi a modalidade mais frequentada nos PIC (n=119; 78,3%) em comparação
com atividades educativas/ALV (n=46; 30,3%) e sociorrecreativas (n=25; 16,4%). Os
praticantes de atividade física em PIC apresentaram melhor QV nos domínios psicológico,
relações sociais e ambiente do que os não praticantes ( p<0,05). Conclusão: A participação em PIC está associada à QV pelo que, em linha com o quadro do envelhecimento
ativo, se recomenda implementar PIC no âmbito das políticas públicas, promovendo
sistematicamente a QV da população. ABSTRACT: Objective: The present study aimed to analyze quality of life (QoL) in participants of
community intervention programs (CIP) focused on healthy aging. Method: A multicenter
cross-sectional study was carried out with 304 community-dwelling participants, aged
55 years old or more and living in three locations in Portugal. Half of these individuals
(n=152) were involved in a CIP (intervention group). The intervention group was paired
according to sex and age group with an equivalent number of participants (n=152) that
did not take part in a CIP (comparison group). Activities implemented in the CIP were
grouped according to their nature: socio-recreational, educational/lifelong learning
and physical activity. Data collection involved a Social Participation Questionnaire,
the WHOQOL-Bref and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. Results: The CIP participants
(n=152) had a mean age of 71.4 years (±5.4), were predominantly women (75.0%), married
(65.4%), with fewer than five years of education (71.7%) and a monthly family income
of up to 750 euros (47.4%). The intervention group had a significantly higher QoL in
the physical domain than the comparison group ( p<0.03). Physical activity was the most
frequently attended session in the CIP (n=119, 78.3%), in comparison with educational/
lifelong learning (n=46, 30.3%) and socio-recreational (n=25, 16.4%) activities. People
practicing physical activity in the CIP had a significantly higher QoL in the psychological,
social relationships and environment domains ( p<0.05). Conclusion: Participation in the
CIP was associated with QoL. Therefore, in line with the active aging framework, CIPs
must be a part of public policy measures aimed at the QoL of the population.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia e Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalização (SAICT-POL/23712/2016; POCI-01-0145-FEDER-023712)E51F-89A1-B769 | Carla Fariainfo:eu-repo/semantics/draf
The impact of lean and green practices on logistics performance: a structural equation modelling
Get PDFPaper aims: This research has two main objectives, firstly to analyze the level of implementation of lean and green practices of a set of companies and secondly to analyze the relationship between lean and green initiatives in an industrial context.
Originality: The use of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) allows a better analysis of the interlinkage of lean and green towards sustainable gains. The developed model offers conceptual contribution to the arena of the logistics, sustainability, lean and green.
Research methods: The methodology used in this study was carried out resorting an inquiry. Firstly, aiming to understand the level of these practices (lean and green) practices in the North of Portugal, a case study was considered. The sample taken is a convenient one, due to time and budget constraints. Secondly, in order to assess the possibility to combine lean ad and green initiatives, a statistical approach was used to develop a SEM for lean and green practices.
Main findings: The results demonstrated that the level of implementation of lean and green practices on Portuguese companies are not properly addressed and formalized. The statistical analysis also showed that lean environmental practices and green practices are positively associated. The research showed that lean and green has also a positive impact on the logistics processes of companies.
Implications for theory and practice: This research brings some contributions to both academy and companies. Firstly, a further discussion about the benefits of combining lean and green towards sustainability. Secondly, the development of a structural model for lean and green practices was presented, this model contributes to a better understanding of these practices, which can lead companies to develop strategic initiatives towards sustainability.9F18-6D02-26B9 | Ângela Maria Esteves da Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Entrepreneurship and economic growth in spanish and portuguese regions
Get PDFThis paper seeks to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth at a regional level in Spanish and Portuguese NUTS II. Our panel model is based on the idea by Audrestsch et al (2006), Koo and Kim (2009), and other authors, about the importance of adding economically useful local knowledge variables to the classical model of economic growth, that only included labor and capital. Theses variables are: research and development, human capital, entrepreneurship and social capita. We built two different measurements for entrepreneurship : the ratio of companies created over the total in each region for the years of study, and a cross-section measurement that can be considered as an indicator of survival. These measurements do not offer similar results, which shows the importance of achieving a good measure of entrepreneurship, one ideally combining many different aspects. We find a positive effect of the entrepreneurship variable on GDP growth, in per capita terms and in absolute values.B913-0565-0908 | Elvira VieiraN/
The exploration of friezes and rosettes through digital and non-digital resources in a teacher education program
Get PDFThis paper describes a study that aims to analyse the performance of future teachers of primary
education (6-12 years old) in identifying and constructing symmetries, especially friezes and rosettes,
with different resources (paper/pencil; software). To carry out this investigation we followed a qualitative
methodology and collected data through observation, written productions, artifacts and photographic
records. The participants were fourteen pre-service teachers that attended a Master’s Degree Course
in Primary Education (6-12 years old). These pre-service teachers had a unit course about geometric
transformations, refining their knowledge about the theme, through the analysis and exploration of each
transformation, resorting to examples of applications in mathematical contexts or in other areas. The
participants were also motivated to identify/construct friezes and rosettes using paper and pencil. After
a period of appropriation, they explored the same aspects of geometric transformations in a dynamic
environment provided by the software Gecla, doing it in the classes of another unit course. Results show
that the pre-service teachers valued this experience, considering it useful and effective in the
development of mathematical knowledge concerning geometric transformations and symmetries. They
easily identified symmetries with both resources and were comfortable with the construction/generation
of friezes and rosettes. They exhibited difficulties in identifying the motif/module that generates some
friezes/rosettes, in both environments. The main difficulties evidenced, either with paper and pencil or
with the software, were related to the characterization of some friezes and rosettes.0D1E-4824-1244 | Ana Cristina Coelho Barbosainfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
