Relatório de Estágio em Educação Pré-Escolar

O relatório de estágio de qualificação profissional desenvolveu-se no âmbito da Unidade Curricular (UC) de Prática Pedagógica Supervisionada, inserida no Mestrado em Educação Pré- Escolar, nos contextos de creche e pré-escolar. Esta integração implicou a mestranda numa atitude investigativa, traduzida no aprofundamento dos referenciais teóricos abordados na referida UC, que permitiu desenvolver uma atitude indagadora e reflexiva, de modo a aliar saberes teóricos à prática e mobilizá-los em contexto. Efetivando a sua prática pedagógica através da observação, recolha de dados, análise sistemática da ação e reflexão crítica permanente, apoiou-se na metodologia de investigaçãoação, que segundo Elliot (1991) constitui um processo reflexivo, que envolve a mudança de teorias e práticas, permitindo ligar a autoavaliação ao desenvolvimento profissional. A prática pedagógica revista neste documento parte da convicção da mestranda relativamente à importância da observação, na mesma perspetiva de Gonçalves (2006): “se soubermos observar, saberemos compreender, se soubermos compreender, saberemos intervir e se soubermos intervir, saberemos melhorar, estaremos a conferir ao exercício de observação e análise da relação educativa o seu verdadeiro estatuto de instrumento de desenvolvimento pessoal/profissional do formando” (p.72). Foi assim que a mestranda solidificou a construção da sua imagem de criança, encarando-a como ativa e competente, almejando que essa visão se refletisse nas suas planificações, que identificavam necessidades e interesses das crianças, e consequentemente na sua ação. A co construção de saberes e a cooperação assumiram particular relevância no processo de formação e desenvolvimento profissional, proporcionado pelos intervenientes no contexto educativo: par de formação, educadoras, supervisora, pais e comunidade.

Foresight methodologies to understand changes in the labour process. Experience from Portugal

The foresight and scenario building methods can be an interesting reference for social sciences, especially in terms of innovative methods for labour process analysis. A scenario – as a central concept for the prospective analysis – can be considered as a rich and detailed portrait of a plausible future world. It can be a useful tool for policy-makers to grasp problems clearly and comprehensively, and to better pinpoint challenges as well as opportunities in an overall framework. The features of the foresight methods are being used in some labour policy making experiences. Case studies developed in Portugal will be presented, and some conclusions will be drawn in order to organise a set of principles for foresight analysis applied to the European project WORKS on the work organisation re-structuring in the knowledge society, and on the work design methods for new management structures of virtual organisations.

Professional situation of prosthetics and orthotics recent graduates in ESTeSL

The career of prosthetics and orthotics in Portugal have a recent formative path: need to investigate the employability and employment of the graduates in Prosthetic and Orthotics (P&O) in ESTeSL between the academic years of 2004/05 and 2012/13; approaching to socio-demographic data and also academic and professional path. The questionnaire was applied to the P&O professional population graduated in ESTeSL. The results had been important to observe the future perspectives trends for the profession.

Performance of concrete made with aggregates recycled from precasting industry waste: influence of the crushing process

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of the crushing process used to obtain recycled concrete aggregates on the performance of concrete made with those aggregates. Two crushing methods were considered: primary crushing, using a jaw crusher, and primary plus secondary crushing (PSC), using a jaw crusher followed by a hammer mill. Besides natural aggregates (NA), these two processes were also used to crush three types of concrete made in laboratory (L20, L45 e L65) and three more others from the precast industry (P20, P45 e P65). The coarse natural aggregates were totally replaced by coarse recycled concrete aggregates. The recycled aggregates concrete mixes were compared with reference concrete mixes made using only NA, and the following properties related to the mechanical and durability performance were tested: compressive strength; splitting tensile strength; modulus of elasticity; carbonation resistance; chloride penetration resistance; water absorption by capillarity; water absorption by immersion; and shrinkage. The results show that the PSC process leads to better performances, especially in the durability properties. © 2014 RILEM

A complex protocol layer as a linux user-space process

With the current complexity of communication protocols, implementing its layers totally in the kernel of the operating system is too cumbersome, and it does not allow use of the capabilities only available in user space processes. However, building protocols as user space processes must not impair the responsiveness of the communication. Therefore, in this paper we present a layer of a communication protocol, which, due to its complexity, was implemented in a user space process. Lower layers of the protocol are, for responsiveness issues, implemented in the kernel. This protocol was developed to support large-scale power-line communication (PLC) with timing requirements.

Formal caregivers of older adults: reflection about their practice

OBJECTIVE To understand the job function of caregivers of older adults and contribute to the debate on the consolidation of this professional practice. METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURES This is a descriptive, qualitative, and exploratory study. Four focal group sessions were performed in 2011 with 11 elderly companions, formal caregivers of older adults in the Programa Acompanhante de Idosos (Program for Caregivers of Older Adults), Sao Paulo, SP, Southeastern Brazil. These sessions, guided by a semi-structured script, were audio-recorded and fully transcribed. Data were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique, Thematic Modality. RESULTS In view of considering the caregivers of older adults as a new category of workers, it was difficult to define their duties. The elderly companions themselves as well as the care receivers, their families, and the professionals that comprised the team were unclear about their duties. The professional practice of these formal caregivers has been built on the basis of constant discussions and negotiations among them and other team members in Programa Acompanhante de Idosos during daily work. This was achieved via a recognition process of their job functions and by setting apart other workers’ exclusive responsibilities. CONCLUSIONS The delimitation of specific job functions for elderly companions is currently one of the greatest challenges faced by these workers to develop and consolidate their professional role as well as improve Programa Acompanhante de Idosos.

Comparative study about heating systems for pultrusion process

Different heating systems have been used in pultrusion, where the most widely used heaters are planar resistances. The primary objective of this study was to develop an improved heating system and compare its performance with that of a system with planar resistances. In this study, thermography was used to better understand the temperature profile along the die. Finite element analysis was performed to determine the amount of energy consumed by the heating systems. Improvements were made to the die to test the new heating system, and it was found that the new system reduced the setup time and energy consumption by approximately 57%.
