- Artificial Intelligence in Teacher Education: Exploring Pre-Service Teachers’ Perspectives Through Creative Music Projects for Professional LearningPublication . Milhano, SandrinaThis study explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into the initial training of pre-service teachers through creative music projects. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in educational practice, teacher education must address its pedagogical potential and limitations. Grounded in qualitative, interpretive, and exploratory methods, the research examines how pre-service teachers engage with AI-supported music creation by comparing experiences with and without the use of generative AI tools, using individual reflections and group e-portfolios for triangulation. Thematic analysis of individual reflections and group e-portfolios identified key opportunities and challenges associated with AI integration. Findings suggest that generative AI can broaden access to creative engagement by enhancing inclusivity, encouraging experimentation, and expanding musical expression. However, tensions also emerged concerning authorship, learner autonomy, and dependence on algorithmic output. The comparative structure of the learning experience enabled participants to reflect critically on the pedagogical implications of AI use. While non-AI processes demanded greater technical skill, they were associated with deeper collaboration, creative decision-making, and artistic ownership. This study contributes to current discussions on digital pedagogy and teacher education by highlighting the need for ethically informed, critically guided AI practice in creative disciplines. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary, reflective practice in developing teacher agency, digital competence, and inclusive pedagogical approaches within higher education.
- Tourism as a tool of community development: an ecotourism project in Cantanhez, Guinea-BissauPublication . Oliveira, F.; Silva, F.In recent decades the scientific community and various international organizations have provided a range of guidelines towards the development of more sustainable tourism. The responsible use of natural and cultural resources and the participation of local communities - with the involvement of the different actors in the development process - are inseparable aspects of sustainability's concept. However, when we try to put it into practice it appears that this is a very slow process, with many aspects that must be considered, especially in the case of underdeveloped regions. This paper focuses precisely on one of these regions - Cantanhez National Park, Guinea Bissau. This region has natural and cultural resources that are real treasures, which enhance the environmental and green forms of tourism; however, the structural problems of the country can be a real challenge to any type of initiative. The purpose of this communication is to present the ecotourism project in Cantanhez National Park, identifying the objectives, the first stages of the project implementation, the difficulties arising from the social, economic and political situation of the country and finally, its relevance in promoting community development. The realities that will be shared in this paper resulted from an initial visit to identify the needs of tourism planning, management and training in the communities directly involved.
