- Active teaching-learning methodologies in Higher Education: a project with the communityPublication . Mangas, Catarina; Sousa, JennyActive teaching-learning methodologies are a reality at the School of Education and Social Sciences of the Polytechnic of Leiria (Portugal), namely through the articulation with institutions of the community. The qualitative research presented in this article intends to analyse the perception of the students who are attending the Higher Professional Technical Course in Sociocultural and Sports Intervention, specifically concerning the importance of these methodologies in a project carried out with the District Hospital of Leiria. During the development of this partnership, 42 students were challenged to collaborate throughout the training process and, at the end, they were asked to write a report, which was considered the data collection instrument. These individual reports include descriptions, analyses and reflections that were processed through content analysis, using categories, and adopting an exploratory approach. The results showed that the students considered that this methodology of teaching-learning allows them to acquire know-what, know-why and know-how competencies. Moreover, they admit that the articulation with external institutions contributes to a better acquisition and mobilisation of practical knowledge that they will be able to apply to different situations, spaces and times in their future professional lives.
- Alterations in consumers behaviour on food purchase during Covid-19 pandemicPublication . Oliveira, Márcio; Gomes, Sofia; Santos, Tânia Cristina Simões de Matos dos; Oliveira, José; Lopes, João L.The present research aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behavior of Portuguese consumers concerning the purchase of food. For this purpose, a quantitative study was performed, using a sample composed of 741 Portuguese consumers. The study was carried out between November 2020 and February 2021, a period during which the most severe measures of social isolation were imposed by the Portuguese government since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. The results show that during the pandemic, consumers changed their behavior patterns, specifically: in the frequency of shopping; the use of transport to carry out the purchases; the amount of the budget allocated for this purpose; and the channels used to purchase. Based on these results, managers and policy makers will be able to adjust or redefine their strategies to meet new consumer preferences, thus promoting individual well-being and business success. Our research is original as it is focused on the Portuguese context at a specific point in time motivated by the external factors that arose from the dissemination of the Covid-19 pandemic, consequently affecting consumers' behavior on food purchase. Furthermore, it adds value to the literature with new findings on consumer behavior change within a pandemic environment, and the application of practical assistance to market practitioners as well as advice to policy makers.
- Animación Sociocultural en el 1º Ciclo: ¿Cuáles son los Beneficios de Promover la Integración Escolar?Publication . Trindade, Bruno; Pocinho, Ricardo; Rodríguez Conde, Maria JoséEl presente artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar la perspicacia pedagógica de la relación entre la Animación Sociocultural y el educar, verificando cuál es la percepción que los alumnos y docentes revelan sobre la misma. La animación sociocultural es relevante en el desarrollo del niño, pues valorizando el juego, previene conflictos y favorece las relaciones sociales. En la escuela, esta interrelación con el juego hace que la acción de la Animación Sociocultural aplicada a la educación ayude a construir la personalidad del niño, instruyendo normas y reglas de socialización de manera lúdica. Así, el presente estudio intentó demostrar cuál es el valor que la Animación Sociocultural tiene en la integración y éxito escolares, en la percepción de los propios alumnos de la Enseñanza Básica. De esta forma, se implementó el Programa TEIP en la Agrupación de Escuelas Nunes Álvares en Castelo Branco, Portugal. Se pretendió verificar si los alumnos del 1º Ciclo consideran importante la relación entre la Animación Sociocultural y la enseñanza curricular con el objetivo de promover la integración y éxito escolares. Después de la participación de 439 alumnos, se verificó que la relación entre la animación y el educar es relevante y positiva, siendo vista como promotora y facilitadora del éxito e integración escolar.
- Assessing the Importance of Work for People with Disabilities at Auchan, PortugalPublication . Nogueira, Marta; Sousa, CéliaThe inclusion of People with Disabilities (PwD's) in the labor market is a challenge and a great opportunity for companies. This inclusion process has the power to generate a great social impact in the life of PwD since they can be paid and can also play an important role that makes them feel proud and useful to society. However, this community faces many difficulties both in their inclusion and during their day-to-day work. This paper, therefore, focuses on exploring and understanding how organizations welcome these workers, what emotions they feel and how they manage them, and how well communication takes place in this context. A mixed methodology was used, with recourse to qualitative and quantitative research. Fifty disabled workers and 314 of their co-workers, employees of the Auchan Portugal Group, participated in the study. The results showed that PwD's recognize their emotions when interacting with their co-workers, but most of them disguise themselves when they feel discomfort. The feeling/emotion that mostly characterizes the daily professional life of these people is pride, which refers to the importance that work plays in their daily lives. As for organizational communication, PwD's consider it to be accessible. It was also possible to notice that although most PwD feel integrated, they suggest greater sensitivity from the employer, adapted work, and more accessibility in the workplace.
- Atividades socioculturais como interface de bem-estar emocional e de prevenção da transmissão da Covid-19 em estruturas residenciais para pessoas idosasPublication . Sousa, JennyEm Portugal, cerca de 40% das mortes por Covid-19 aconteceram em instituições para idosos, passando a exigir delas práticas institucionais de isolamento social, com graves repercussões na Saúde Mental dos residentes. Com esta pesquisa, qualitativa e exploratória, pretendeu-se perceber se, em período de pandemia, a realização de atividades socioculturais, por meio da animação de idosos, pode funcionar como interface do bem-estar emocional dos residentes e da prevenção da transmissão da Covid-19, segundo os técnicos que desempenham o papel de animadores. São, assim, apresentados os resultados obtidos com base na análise de conteúdo da entrevista semiestruturada aplicada a 16 profissionais que trabalham em estruturas residenciais para idosos, de norte a sul de Portugal Continental, tendo os dados evidenciado que a realização de atividades socioculturais surge como elemento determinante de bem-estar e de qualidade de vida daqueles que vivem nas instituições.
- Authentic leadership and its interactions with the compassion and humility of employeesPublication . Oliveira, Márcio; Lopes, João M.; Santos, Tânia Cristina Simões de Matos dos; Gomes, Sofia; Sousa, MarleneBy the increasing recognition that the scientific and practical communities attribute humility and compassion as influencing organisational performance, this study aims to understand whether the exercise of authentic leadership influences these constructs. For this purpose, using a quantitative study, a questionnaire was applied to employees of small and medium-sized Portuguese companies who are directly subordinated to the top management of these companies in the course of their professional activity. This research empirically validates the theoretical arguments that suggest that authentic leadership is related to humility and compassion (the latter, measured based on the dimensions of kindness, common humanity, full attention, indifference, detachment and separation) and demonstrates that subordinates are essential resources to help organisations face competitive challenges, taking advantage of their employees' potential and promoting organisational efficiency and competitive advantages over the competition.
- Authentic leadership as predictor of resilience, humility and compassion of subordinatorsPublication . Oliveira, Márcio; Gomes, Sofia; Sousa, Marlene; Lopes, João M.; Santos, Tânia Cristina Simões de Matos dosThe present research is based on a questionnaire applied to 109 employees of Portuguese companies, who, in the performance of their professional activity, are in a position of direct subordinates of the top management of these companies and analyses the relationship between authentic leadership and its employees' resilience, humility, and compassion. This research empirically validates the theoretical arguments that suggest that authentic leadership is related to resilience, humility, and compassion (the latter, measured based on the dimensions of kindness, common humanity, mindfulness, indifference, disengagement, and separation) and demonstrates that subordinates are crucial resources to help organisations face competitive challenges, taking advantage of their employees' potential and promoting organisational efficiency and competitive advantages over the competition.
- Authentic leadership in small businesses: the importance of humility and resiliencePublication . Oliveira, Márcio; Sousa, Marlene; Lopes, João M.; Santos, Tânia Cristina Simões de Matos dos; Gomes, SofiaThe main objective of this study is to analyse the impact of authentic leadership on resilience, directly or when mediated by humility, in small and medium-sized enterprises and small businesses since these are personal characteristics that are increasingly determining and differentiating. All over the world, these organisations have been feeling the need to adapt to major societal changes that are taking place at the level of economic, social, political, cultural and ethical relations. The emergence of these new societal conjunctures imposes new conditions on organisations and rebuilds the world of work and business. In this way, authentic leadership and its influence on the behaviour of employees and organisations as a whole are increasingly gaining the attention of academics. This research empirically validates the theoretical arguments that suggest that authentic leadership relates to humility and resilience, both directly and indirectly, and demonstrates that employees are essential resources to help organisations face competitive challenges, take advantage of their employees' potential, and promote organisational efficiency competitive advantages over competitors. The study is based on a questionnaire applied to 109 employees of Portuguese companies, who, in the performance of their professional activity, are in a position of direct subordinates of the top management of these SMEs and small businesses. The analysis of the results obtained allows the conclusion that authentic leaders arouse more humility and more resilience in their subordinates.
- Children’s use of ICT, family mediation, and social inequalitiesPublication . Diogo, Ana Matias; de Carvalho da Silva, Pedro; Viana, JoanaChildren have increasing access, and at younger ages, to ICT. This results from state policy measures, or from families having progressively provided ICT access to their children, or both of these influences. As a critical approach to the impact of technology in the construction of social change, this paper seeks to understand how children's relationships are built with ICT, and how family background and mediation affects this relationship, within the context of socialisation and a certain position in social space. From two case studies we present results of a multivariate analysis as well as qualitative data. The data suggest that the democratisation of access to ICT, amplified by the wide distribution of a laptop computer to children in elementary schools, has resulted in distinct profiles of use by children. These profiles appear linked to different (academic and digital) family resources and diverse parental involvement concerning these uses (regulation and support).
- Ciência, teoria social contemporânea e educaçãoPublication . Vieira, Ricardo; Vieira, Ana MariaOs modelos científicos vigentes acabam por refletirem sempre nas práticas escolares, nas pedagogias dominantes, na educação. O objetivo principal deste ensaio é correlacionar os paradigmas científicos com os paradigmas pedagógicos e mostrar como, em parte, “somos filhos de Descartes”. Foi com ele que aprendemos o que era a ciência, o método científico, no singular, e a objetividade como valor sagrado da ciência. Foi o seu Discurso do Método que marcou a ciência do século XX e, também, a pedagogia escolar e a educação em geral. Aprendemos a pensar com a cabeça e não com o coração; desumanizamos, desantropomorfizamos a ciência, o que teve efeitos diretos na educação, essencialmente durante toda a primeira metade do século XX. As Ciências da Educação são assim, a nosso ver, no seu início, mais filhas das ciências experimentais e naturais do que das próprias ciências humanas e sociais. De resto, também elas buscavam para si o estatuto de ciências, procurando generalizar o por vezes não generalizável; procurando leis em que imperam a especificidade e a idiossincrasia do humano. Então, o positivismo do século XIX e do início do século XX, que marca as Ciências Sociais e as Ciências da Educação, que se recusam a ser subjetivas, a serem simplesmente humanas, e, logo, não científicas, vigorou e vigora, ainda, na ciência e na educação.
