O presente relatório de qualificação profissional, como requisito (parcial) para obtenção do grau de mestre em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, é o reflexo dos saberes e competências profissionais adquiridas pelas experiências vividas durante a prática pedagógica supervisionada, desenvolvida em dois contextos de estágio: Educação Pré- Escolar e 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Ao longo desta formação inicial a mestranda adquiriu saberes científicos, pedagógicos, didáticos, culturais e de investigação que lhe possibilitaram o desenvolvimento de práticas sustentadas. A interação entre os saberes teóricos mobilizados e a reflexão sobre a prática, possibilitaram a construção de um quadro teórico próprio, com visão e pensamento pessoal, permitindo à futura profissional de educação melhorar e transformar a prática educativa, agindo nos contextos de forma adequada, visando a inclusão e equidade. Através da adoção de uma postura crítica, reflexiva e indagadora, apoiada nos processos da metodologia de investigação-ação – observação, planificação, ação, reflexão e avaliação – a mestranda desenvolveu a práxis de forma cíclica e articulada. Com efeito, a mestranda procurou desenvolver práticas que promovessem aprendizagens significativas e efetivas para as diferentes crianças e que lhes permitissem ser construtoras ativas do seu próprio conhecimento, numa perspetiva holística da educação e do desenvolvimento da criança, encarando-a como centro do processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Em conformidade, os estágios desenvolvidos em ambos os contextos permitiram a construção de um perfil generalista, através do desenvolvimento de competências marcadas por uma (re)construção pessoal e profissional, auxiliadas por processos colaborativos e reflexivos.

In modern society, energy consumption and respect for the environment have become essential aspects of urban planning. The rising demand for alternative sources of energy, coupled with the decline in the construction sector and material usage, gives the idea that the thinking on modern cities, where attention is given to reduced energy consumption, savings, waste recycling and respect for the surrounding environment, is being put into practice. If we examine development of the city over recent centuries, by means of the theories of the most famous and influential urban planners, it is possible to identify the major problems caused by this type of planning. For this reason, in recent urban planning the use of systems of indicators that evaluate and certify land environmentally and energetically guides the master plan toward a more efficient city model. In addition the indicators are targeted on key factors determined by the commissioner or the opportunities the territory itself provides. Due the complexity of the environmental mechanics, the process of design and urban planning has become a challenging issue. The introduction of the indicators system has made it possible to register the life of the process, with a spiral route that allows the design itself to be refined. The aim of this study, built around the creation of a system of urban sustainability indicators that will evaluate highly eco-friendly cities, is to develop a certification system for cities or portions of them. The system will be upgradeable and objective, will employ real data and will be concerned with energy production and consumption.

This thesis presents the research and development of sustainable design guidelines for the furniture and wood products industry, suitable for sustainably enhancing design, manufacturing and associated activities. This sustainable guideline is based on secondary research conducted on subject areas such as ‘eco’ design, ‘green’ branding and ‘green’ consumerism, as well as an examination of existing certifications and sustainable tools techniques and methodologies, national and international drivers for sustainable development and an overview of sustainability in the Irish furniture manufacturing context. The guideline was further developed through primary research. This consisted of a focus group attended by leading Irish designers, manufacturers and academics in the area of furniture and wood products. This group explored the question of ‘green branding’ saturation in the market and the viability of investing in sustainability just yet. Participants stated that they felt the market for ‘green’ products is evolving very slowly and that there is no metric or legal framework present to audit whether or not companies are producing products that really embody sustainability. All the participants believed that developing and introducing a new certification process to incorporate a sustainable design process was a viable and necessary solution to protecting Irish furniture and wood manufacturers going forward. For the purposes of the case study, the author investigated a ‘sustainable’ design process for Team woodcraft, Ltd., through the design and development of a ‘sustainable’ children’s furniture range. The case study followed a typical design and development process; detailing customer design specifications, concept development and refinement and cumulating in final prototype, as well as associated engineering drawings. Based on this primary and secondary research, seven fundamental core principles for this sustainable guideline have been identified by the author. The author then used these core principles to expand into guidelines for the basis of proposed new Irish sustainable design guidelines for the furniture and wood products industry, the concept of which the author has named ‘Green Dot’. The author suggests that the ‘Green Dot’ brand or logo could be used to market an umbrella network of Irish furniture designers and manufactures who implement the recommended sustainable techniques.

In the case of such a very special building project, the crucial stake for sustainable development is the fact that space systems are extreme cases of environmental constraints. In- deed, they constitute an interesting model as an analogy can be made between Martian utmost conditions and some of the possible extreme one's that Earth might soon face. The didactic ob- jective of the project is to use the context of a building on Mars to teach an approach which raises the students awareness to design and plan all steps of a building in a sustainable way, i.e. build, with the available resources, living spaces that satisfy human needs and leave as intact as possible the external environment. The paper presents the approach and the feedback of this student project, more specifically ENAC Learning Unit", which involved 17 students from envi- ronmental, civil engineering and architecture sections from EPFL. All the same, it involved pro- fessors from all three domains, as well as aerospace and Mars specialists, which gave seminars during the course of the semester. The students were separated in groups, and the project con- sisted of two phases: 1) analysis of the context and resources, 2) project design and critic. Both organisational, technical and pedagogical aspects of the experience are presented. The outcome was very positive, with students experiencing for their first time multidisciplinary work and the iterative process of design under multiple constraints.

El projecte s'inscriu dins de l'àmbit de la investigació i innovació docent aplicant criteris de gestió de qualitat en els que es tenen molt presents els aspectes relacionats amb la seguretat i la sostenibilitat. El projecte promou la investigació generant models de funcionament i verificant la qualitat dels resultats de la seva aplicació. Des d'aquest punt de vista la recerca incorpora aspectes relacionats amb la seguretat i la sostenibilitat dels procediments, la manipulació de productes i materials, la gestió de residus i el seu reciclatge als tallers i laboratoris de les Facultats de Belles Arts. Els resultats d'aquestes investigacions tenen una extensió social en l'àmbit de les Belles Arts en general. Existeix suficient evidència empírica sobre el deteriorament de la salut i els danys que causen un gran nombre de substàncies, productes i materials utilitzats habitualment en les Belles Arts i es sospita sobre els potencials efectes negatius d'altres productes. A Espanya, també és conegut el limitat desenvolupament en matèria de prevenció laboral, de protecció mediambiental i en paràmetres de sostenibilitat en relació amb l'Espai Europeu i, especialment, al nord d'Europa. Es pot considerar, encara, la tímida i escassament coordinada, encara que progressiva, implantació de mesures orientades a solucionar aquestes deficiències per part de les universitats espanyoles i el seu insuficient finançament. En un context d'elevada sensibilització social i dels mitjans de comunicació sobre els efectes del canvi climàtic i la contaminació els processos de canvi s'han de liderar des d'institucions de rang molt divers. Amb els antecedents esmentats el grup d'investigació advoca per continuar desenvolupant diferents modalitats de recerca, buscant alternatives eficaces en aquest àmbit. Alternatives que contemplin la possible substitució d'uns productes per altres, la reducció d'aquells insubstituïbles, la implantació de procediments de qualitat verificada, l'adopció de mesures de seguretat de naturalesa preventiva o mediambiental, l'exploració de recursos sostenibles, etc. per solucionar en la mesura possible l'esmentada problemàtica.

La implementació dels nous graus requereix la integració dels conceptes i metodologies relacionades amb la seguretat, la prevenció de riscos laborals i la protecció del medi ambient. En aquest context, un equip de professorat de les facultats de Belles Arts (UB, UPV, UCLM) ha desenvolupat un projecte d'innovació docent, una de les parts fonamentals del qual, ha estat la ideació i la creació d'un model de procediment normalitzat de treball (PNT) i la seva aplicació en experiències pilot realitzades en diverses pràctiques als tallers i laboratoris. El PNT s'ha mostrat com una eina bàsica per a l'autoaprenentatge, que, així mateix, garanteix l'adquisició de les competències transversals relacionades amb la seguretat i la sostenibilitat.
