- 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.
- Bom Senso: Contos que se escrevem, histórias que se leemPublication . Ferreira, Paula Cristina; Mangas, CatarinaO curso de Licenciatura Relações Comerciais China – Países Lusófonos resulta de uma parceria estreita e duradoura entre duas instituições de ensino superior, a Universidade Politécnica de Macau e a Escola Superior de Educação e Ciências Sociais, do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria. Os estudantes iniciam os seus estudos em Macau e, no 2.º ano do seu plano de estudos, vivem e estudam a língua portuguesa em contexto de imersão linguística na cidade portuguesa, de Leiria, em Portugal. Uma das unidades curriculares – Leituras de especialidade: gestão e direito – promove, por um lado, a leitura de textos literários e não literários associados às áreas de especialidade de Gestão e Direito e, por outro, promove hábitos de escrita de géneros textuais diversos em português. E é, neste contexto, que surge esta obra. Os vinte estudantes que se encontravam em Leiria no ano 2024/2025, individualmente ou a pares, para desenvolver o seu projeto de escrita, e na sequência das leituras efetuadas, necessitaram de escrever um conto de temática livre, mas de cariz educativo, com lição de moral implícita ou explícita. Após a escrita do texto e respetiva monitorização, os estudantes foram sensibilizados a criar uma ilustração para a antologia que resultaria do empenho de todos. As ilustrações apresentadas foram criadas pelos estudantes, com recurso a ferramentas de inteligência artificial. Os textos e as ilustrações apresentadas na obra são da total responsabilidade dos seus autores. Por uma questão de organização, optou-se por agrupar as narrativas em três temáticas: Na Parte I – O Ninho – os contos apresentam alguns dos valores familiares; Na Parte II – A Missão – os textos revelam uma nobreza de carácter, na medida em que as personagens se expõem para dar respostas à sociedade e praticando o bem comum. Na Parte III – A Essência – as narrativas revelam reflexões profundas sobre a existência e essência humana.
- COVID-19 and the Educational Area: Emotional Management and Well-Being in TeachersPublication . Trindade, Bruno M. M. C.; Pocinho, Ricardo F. S.; Afonso, Paulo J. M.; Santos, Domingos F. C.; Silva, Pedro N. M.; Silveira, Paulo A. A. L.; Santos, Gisela A. R.The pandemic caused by COVID-19 had and still has implications in the social relationship between human beings and at the school level and families with school-age children and young people. The school had to quickly conceive an effective intervention plan regarding learning. Teachers, some with more, others with less training in Educational Technology, had to, in record time, modify their entire methodological plan of intervention with their students. This research team decided to study the implications of this pandemic in the educational context in the teaching community. This research focuses on the repercussions of the pandemic on teachers' emotional management and psychological well-being through an online questionnaire (Google Forms) administered between the beginning of the school term in September 2020 and March 2021.
- Enhancing Student Success Through a Multi-Dimensional Approach: The OPSA 2.0 Project at the Polytechnic University of LeiriaPublication . Mangas, Catarina; Sardinha Monteiro, SusanaDesigned as a comprehensive and innovative approach, the Observatory for Academic Success (OPSA 2.0) of the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPLeiria), Portugal, aims to enhance academic success and reduce dropout rates, addressing the growing diversity of student profiles in higher education. Through a multi-dimensional framework, OPSA 2.0 is structured around seven pillars: a Mentoring Program; a Tutoring Program; a Pedagogical Training and Development Program; a Special Learning Support Program; an Academic Success Platform; a Together with the Community Program and a Coordination, Communication, Interaction, and Dissemination Program, ensuring the management and execution of OPSA 2.0 while promoting its activities, engagement, and results. OPSA 2.0 positions itself as a benchmark in pedagogical innovation, by integrating technology, pedagogy, and institutional collaboration, offering a holistic and transformative approach to supporting student achievement and mitigating early academic disengagement. By bridging theory and practice, this article presents the design of the OPSA 2.0 project, outlining its methodological framework, objectives, and core strategic axes.
- Evaluation of an educational project for the development of the autonomy of life in young people leaving residential carePublication . Santos, Rui; Margarido, Cristóvão; Pocinho, Ricardo; Silva, Tânia; Póvoa, VanessaOne of the protection measures provided to at-risk children and young people in Portugal is residential care. Residential care facilities foster children and young people from unstructured families, providing them with conditions that may allow to enhance their full development, including their education, well-being and preparation for life autonomy. Projet' Ar-te is an intervention project developed at Casa do Canto, under the direction of the Portuguese Association for the Rights of Minors and the Family - CrescerSer, financed from 2012 to 2015 through the "Children and Youth at Risk"Program of Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. The main objectives of this project were the creation of the Life Skills Development Program (PDCV) and the Support and Monitoring Structure (ESAAC) for the young people leaving residential care, in order to provide them with a close affective rear, helping to face the challenges and difficulties they encounter successively outside the residential care facility. Through ethnobiographic interviews with two young women experiencing the project for one year, the aim was to understand their perceptions regarding two moments: the residential care period and the experiences after leaving Casa do Canto through the support provided by the ESAAC Structure. The results showed that participation in the project activities provided significant moments during residential care, which seem to have an important impact on the autonomy strategies adopted by young women after leaving the facility.
- Planning forest recreation: environmental economic instruments and the public participationPublication . Oliveira, F.; Pintassilgo, P.; Mendes, I.; Silva, J. A.In Portugal there is a growing demand for natural areas that provide a wide range of outdoor recreation. This paper focuses on the particular case of the Mata Nacional de Leiria (Leiria National Forest). This is a pine tree forest with 11,000 hectares and eight centuries of history. It has always been a public forest with open access to everyone, a fact that contributes to different kinds of use and benefits (walking, cycling, picnics, collecting firewood, fruits and berries, and other recreation activities). The proximity to a major urban and industrial centre, on one hand, and to a very popular beach coast, on the other, makes this a resource that is widely used by both residents and visitors. In the future there is the possibility of implementing a set of actions to improve forest amenities and recreation, and later the emergence of environmental tourism activities and equipment. In this context, we want to know the economic valuation that actual users attach to these recreation improvements, but also realize their preferences and opinions regarding this project. For this purpose we designed, tested and applied a double bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation questionnaire. The results presented in this paper focus on responses to attitudinal and follow-up questions. More than 70% of respondents have positively assessed the proposed improvements to the study area and about 40% enhanced their personal opinion on the type of interventions that they consider most appropriate. Answers focus the priority areas of intervention in the Mata Nacional de Leiria, the main concerns in its development, the type of actions that should (and should not) be implemented, respondents willingness to actively take part and, also, what the public authorities' role should be. At this stage, where Mata Nacional de Leiria is being considered in terms of future recreation and tourism offers, the results obtained provide important contributions and enhance the contingent valuation survey as a tool to support recreation planning, promoting public participation and the political decision-making process.
- 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.
