Relatório de estágio para obtenção do grau de mestre em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico

Este relatório reflete toda a prática pedagógica desenvolvida na EB1/PE - Ribeiro de Alforra, nomeadamente na sala da Pré – B. Através da elaboração deste relatório, pretendo expor as experiências vivenciadas ao longo da prática pedagógica, com crianças que se encontram na faixa etária dos três e os cinco anos. Procuro expressar a intervenção pedagógica realizada, assente em pressupostos teórico-práticos. Esta baseou-se, essencialmente, numa aprendizagem construtivista, onde as crianças tinham um papel ativo na construção dos seus conhecimentos, sendo que, o objetivo principal foi ir ao encontro dos interesses e necessidades do respetivo grupo. O essencial deste trabalho encontra-se na justificação das técnicas e estratégias utilizadas, exigindo, da minha parte, muita reflexão e investigação, de forma a proporcionar uma aprendizagem de qualidade.

Activity modeling in practice: a case-based guide to human-centered software engineering

The purpose of this study was to identify whether activity modeling framework supports problem analysis and provides a traceable and tangible connection from the problem identification up to solution modeling. Methodology validation relied on a real problem from a Portuguese teaching syndicate (ASPE), regarding courses development and management. The study was carried out with a perspective to elaborate a complete tutorial of how to apply activity modeling framework to a real world problem. Within each step of activity modeling, we provided a summary elucidation of the relevant elements required to perform it, pointed out some improvements and applied it to ASPE’s real problem. It was found that activity modeling potentiates well structured problem analysis as well as provides a guiding thread between problem and solution modeling. It was concluded that activity-based task modeling is key to shorten the gap between problem and solution. The results revealed that the solution obtained using activity modeling framework solved the core concerns of our customer and allowed them to enhance the quality of their courses development and management. The principal conclusion was that activity modeling is a properly defined methodology that supports software engineers in problem analysis, keeping a traceable guide among problem and solution.
