    Publication . Brandão, António; Frontini, Roberta; Peixoto, Diogo; Fernandes, Daniel; Clemente, Filipe Manuel
    The main aim of this study was to compare sports practitioners of a competitive and leisure nature sports regarding their motivations for practice. The sample consisted of 631 adults (504 men and 127 women) who practiced nature and adventure sports. Participants answered an assessment protocol composed of a sociodemographic form and the Exercise Motivation Inventory - 2 (EMI-2) questionnaire. Among leisure and competition practitioners, variations were analyzed using standardized effect size differences (ES) with 90% Confidence Interval (CI). The following scale was used to interpret the magnitude effect: <0,2, trivial; 0,2-0,6, small; 0,6-1,2, moderate; > 1,2, large. The probabilities were tested considering the smallest worthwhile changes (SW, 0,2 x between SD subjects). The following scale was used for qualitative probabilities: 25-75%, possibly; 75-95%, likely; 95-99% very likely; e> 99% almost certain. Differences in variables were tested regarding the following factors: Social Recognition, Positive Health, Weight, Stress Management, Revitalisation, Enjoyment, Challenge, Affiliation, Competition, Health Pressures, Health Avoidance, Appearance, Strength & Endurance and Nimbleness. Only the variables Enjoyment and Competition had moderate magnitude when comparing leisure to competitive practitioners. When comparing within gender, we found that the variable Competition is more noticeable in females compared to leisure having a probability of almost certain with large magnitude on the Enjoyment variable -29.2% [-36.8;-20.6]; ES: -2.17 [-2.89;-1.45] and competition -50.7% [-60.6;-38.4]; ES: -1.52 [-2.00;-1.04]. Understanding the motives that fit the practice of a particular sport is essential to tailor a strategy and make sports plans more appealing and interesting for their practitioners. The Enjoyment and Competition factors were the most significant, which influenced the gender differences between and when comparing the profile of leisure and competitors.

  • Teacher training as a starting point to support the initial challenges of emergency remote learning - case study
    Publication . Pereira, Isabel; Ferreira, Joana; Francisco, Manuela; Rodrigues, Carina; Esperança, Cláudio; Mineiro, Joana; Pedro, Sónia; Maximiano, Catarina; Almeida, Miguel
    The COVID-19 Pandemic affected institutions, students, and faculty around the world. As if it wasn't already evident that technologies were gaining more space on the educational policy agenda, the decision by governments to close educational institutions made it imperative to move to online using distance learning strategies, mainly technological solutions. In this paper, we analyzed an online course created to help Portuguese teachers from different educational levels. This course aimed to support teachers transitioning from face-to-face to online and provide them with an experience as distance student. The information shared by participants, as well as satisfaction questionnaire allowed us to realize two things. On one hand, that the difficulties experienced in Portugal are similar to those identified in previous studies, on the other hand to identify specific needs by education level. We conclude that pedagogical training on distance learning methodologies and hybrid contexts is emerging, should be continued and should integrate governments and educational institutions' strategy.
