- Aprendizagem ativa no ensino superior: estratégias pedagógicas para um trabalho colaborativoPublication . Mangas, CatarinaIntrodução: O ensino superior está normalmente associado a uma formação mais tradicional/expositiva que não se enquadra com o atual processo de Bolonha, as características dos jovens estudantes ou as exigências que advêm das constantes transformações da sociedade. Hoje em dia, os estudantes devem estar preparados com um elevado nível de competências sociais e conhecimentos que são necessários num mercado de trabalho que se altera permanentemente. Objetivos: Descrever estratégias de aprendizagem cooperativas, desenvolvidas em grupos, aplicadas em cursos superiores nas áreas das ciências sociais e das ciências da educação. Métodos: A investigação desenvolvida é caracterizada como sendo qualitativa, sendo um estudo essencialmente descritivo, já que apresenta, de forma holística, estratégias específicas aplicadas junto de duas turmas de estudantes do ensino superior. Resultados: A investigação sugere que os estudantes aprendem melhor quando estão ativamente envolvidos em atividades onde o pensamento crítico e criativo é cultivado, resultando em melhores classificações, numa maior satisfação com o seu percurso académico e numa menor probabilidade de abandono. Conclusões: É essencial refletir sobre as práticas pedagógicas e, consequentemente, adotar novas estratégias desenvolvidas em ambientes de aprendizagem centrados nos estudantes, que aumentem a qualidade do ensino superior, tornando-o mais adequado à realidade laboral atual.

- Authentic leadership promoting employees' psychological capital and creativityPublication . Rego, Arménio; Sousa, Filipa; Marques, Carla; Pina e Cunha, MiguelTwo hundred and one employees report their psychological capital, as well as their supervisors' authentic leadership. Supervisors describe the employees' creativity. The main findings show that authentic leadership predicts employees' creativity, both directly and through the mediating role of employees' psychological capital. The study empirically validates theoretical arguments that suggest integrating authentic leadership and psychological capital in research, and indicates that both may foster employees' creativity, a crucial resource for helping organizations to face competitive challenges, take advantage of business opportunities, and improve organizational effectiveness.
- Characterization of speed fluctuation and drag force in young swimmers: A gender comparisonPublication . Barbosa, Tiago M.; Costa, Mário J.; Morais, Jorge E.; Morouço, Pedro; Moreira, Marc; Garrido, Nuno D.; Marinho, Daniel A.; Silva, António J.The aim of this study was to compare the speed fluctuation and the drag force in young swimmers between genders. Twenty-three young pubertal swimmers (12 boys and 11 girls) volunteered as subjects. Speed fluctuation was measured using a kinematical mechanical method (i.e., speedo-meter) during a maximal 25-m front crawl bout. Active drag, active drag coefficient and power needed to overcome drag were measured with the velocity perturbation method for another two maximal 25 m front crawl bouts with and without the perturbation device. Passive drag and the passive drag coefficient were estimated using the gliding decay velocity method after a maximal push-off from the wall while being fully immersed. The technique drag index was also assessed as a ratio between active and passive drag. Boys presented meaningfully higher speed fluctuation, active drag, power needed to overcome drag and technique drag index than the girls. There were no significant gender differences for active drag coefficient, passive drag and passive drag oefficient. There were positive and moderate-strong associations between active drag and speed fluctuation when controlling the effects of swim velocity. So, increasing speed fluctuation leads to higher drag force values and those are even higher for boys than for girls.
- Formar para Intervir: reflexões sobre trabalho colaborativo a partir de metodologias ativas de aprendizagem no Ensino SuperiorPublication . Mónico Lopes, Sara; Sousa, JennyO presente trabalho analisa a utilização de metodologias ativas de aprendizagem no Ensino Superior, com foco no trabalho colaborativo desenvolvido nas unidades curriculares de Métodos e Técnicas de Investigação Social e de Serviço Social de Casos, Grupos e Comunidades, da licenciatura em Serviço Social de uma universidade portuguesa. Centradas na participação ativa dos estudantes, as unidades curriculares assentam em metodologias promotoras da construção coletiva do conhecimento, do pensamento crítico e da interligação entre teoria e prática. Este artigo pretende analisar e discutir a perceção dos estudantes inscritos nestas duas Unidades Curriculares relativamente ao trabalho colaborativo realizado com recurso a metodologias ativas de aprendizagem, bem como identificar as competências por eles adquiridas e a importância que atribuem a estas experiências para a sua formação académica. A abordagem metodológica consistiu num estudo de caso descritivo-exploratório, privilegiando-se o inquérito por questionário como instrumento mais adequado para a recolha de dados. Foram obtidas informações quantitativas, analisadas estatisticamente, e dados mais descritivos e textuais(n=20), recorrendo-se a uma interpretação do seu conteúdo. Os resultados demonstram que o trabalho colaborativo entre Unidades Curriculares que utilizam metodologias ativas de aprendizagem favorece, por um lado, o desenvolvimento de competências fundamentais para a prática profissional,como a comunicação com públicos diferenciados, a adaptabilidade e flexibilidade,e por outro, estimula a reflexão crítica e o exercício de práticas investigativas e interventivas desde a formação inicial. Conclui-se que a utilização deste tipo de metodologia, especialmente no campo do Serviço Social, fortalece a aprendizagem significativa e prepara os estudantes para os desafios da prática profissional na sociedade atual.
- Hope and positive affect mediating the authentic leadership and creativity relationshipPublication . Rego, Arménio; Sousa, Filipa; Marques, Carla; Cunha, Miguel Pina eThe study analyzes how authentic leadership (AL) predicts employees' creativity both directly and through the mediating role of employees' positive affect and hope. Two hundred and three employees working in Portuguese retail organizations participate in the research. Employees report their hope and positive affective states, as well as the AL of their supervisors. Supervisors report the employees' creativity. The main findings are: (a) AL predicts employees' creativity, both directly and through the mediating role of employees' hope; (b) AL also predicts employees' positive affect, which in turn predicts employees' hope and, thus, creativity. The study enriches the understanding of the processes through which AL improves employees' creativity, and provides valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners. By promoting AL, and employees' hope and positive affect, organizations may increase employees' creative performance, creativity being an important path to organizational performance.
- Liquid jobs and precarious workers. The Welfare State under pressurePublication . Valadas, CarlaThis article is inspired by one of Zygmund Bauman’s powerful metaphors, the concept of liquid, to interpret the present configuration of jobs and ongoing changes in individuals’ relationship with work. The later materialize in a time when welfare states’ role is going through a process of transformation itself. The sociological framework informing the article is anchored in a Southern European country, Portugal, with an idiosyncratic work and welfare state trajectory. It is argued that, in the liquid phase of our social reality, forms of inclusion into the labour market, such as the ones disseminated through public (active) employment policies, entrap individuals in unstable and insecure forms of employment.
- Multimodal creativity at the service of foreign language teaching in higher education in Portugal: the Jasm ProjectPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José Manuel de Almeida; Delplancq, Véronique.; Gillain, Romain; Relvas, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Amante, SusanaThe JASM project used the Korsakow6 platform to produce Storytelling in foreign languages (FL), by students of the Media Studies degree course (Higher Education-HE) of the Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (ESEV, Portugal). Objective: Look into the impact of non-linear digital narratives upon FL learning in HE, assessing the role of multimodal tools in fostering linguistic, cultural, and technological skills. Theoretical Framework: The study was grounded in active methodologies with a focus on integrating intercultural skills. Using new technologies is a catalyst for enhancing student motivation and autonomy. Method: The project, developed within the context of French and English, involved 25 voluntarily participating students attending the first year. Following language level tests, each group gathered information about the nationality and culture of migrants living in Viseu. Students conducted interviews and documented migrants’ life stories, traditions, using digital narratives. Final outputs included short films, social media posts, exhibitions, and an e-book. Results and Discussion: Students enhanced cognitive, emotional and aesthetic skills within collaborative environments, integrating experiences from multilingual and multicultural contexts with creative and multimodal abilities and increased autonomy and initiative. Challenges were identified, highlighting the need for ongoing teacher training. Research Implications: This project showed how digital and active pedagogies can foster the development of FL and intercultural competencies in HE students. Originality/Value: This study provides for an innovative approach relying on multimodal technologies for teaching FL in HE. The transformative potential of digital narratives as an impactful pedagogical tool is highlighted.
- Natural establishment of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. in burnt stands in PortugalPublication . Águas, Ana; Ferreira, António; Maia, Paula; Fernandes, Paulo M.; Roxo, Luís; Keizer, Jan; Silva, Joaquim S.; Rego, Francisco C.; Moreira, FranciscoExotic tree species are increasingly common in many regions of the world and at least some species are becoming naturalized in the regions where they were introduced. Disturbances like fire may be at the origin or accelerate the naturalization of these species. Portugal holds one of the largest areas of exotic Eucalyptus globulus plantations in the world and is one of the countries most affected by forest fires. These two facts have triggered the present research. This study aimed at characterising medium-term natural establishment of E. globulus plants originated from seeds under natural conditions in burnt planted forests (pure E. globulus stands, pure Pinus pinaster stands, and mixed stands of both species), and at analysing factors associated with this establishment. Occurrence, abundance and height of naturally established E. globulus plants were characterized in 284 sites distributed in burnt areas, across Central and Northern Portugal, 5–7 years after wildfire. Generalized linear models were used to assess the influence of stand type, regional productivity potential, and post-fire management practices on occurrence probability, density, and median height of sampled E. globulus individuals. The influence of these explanatory variables on the structure (in terms of size class distribution) of naturally established E. globulus cohort was examined using analysis of similarity and non-metric multidimensional scaling. Naturally established E. globulus plants were present in 93.1%, 19.0% and 98.6% of samples in pure E. globulus, pure P. pinaster and mixed stands, respectively. Cohort median density was 0.20 plants m−2 and maximum density was 4.55 plants m−2. Median height of plants was 2.0 m and 95.3% of them had h >1.30 m and DBH ⩽5 cm. Establishment probability, density and median height were highest in the most productive regions. Three post-fire management operations had a significant influence on the response variables: (i) salvage logging was associated with a higher density; (ii) tillage was associated with a lower density and a smaller median height; (iii) understorey removal was associated with a lower occurrence probability. Tillage was the only studied factor influencing the size structure of spontaneously established cohort, eliminating larger plants. This study showed that stand type, productivity region and post-fire management operations might have significantly influenced the natural establishment of E. globulus in burnt areas, and consequently the species naturalization process in Portugal. The implications of these findings for management are discussed.
- Peer relations: The challenges of children with special needsPublication . Soares, Elsa Marta; Serrano, Ana MariaChildren with special needs, due to the greater likelihood of developing a disorder in one or more areas of their development, and due to the obstacles they may find in the context, can have their social performance compromised, which can entail consequences in short and in long term. It is, therefore, essential to know the factors that may influence the development of their peer related social competence. Only then can the caregivers play an active role in order to increase the chances of stimulating these competencies. This review addresses the perspectives of different authors about the social development of children with their peers. It is at the convergence of each of these perspectives that one can find the complementarity needed to effectively understand the dynamism and the inter-relational characteristics inherent to social competence.
