Multiple-choice tests: a tool in assessing knowledge

The purpose of this paper is to analyse if Multiple-Choice Tests may be considered an interesting alternative for assessing knowledge, particularly in the Mathematics area, as opposed to the traditional methods, such as open questions exams. In this sense we illustrate some opinions of the researchers in this area. Often the perception of the people about the construction of this kind of exams is that they are easy to create. But it is not true! Construct well written tests it���s a hard work and needs writing ability from the teachers. Our proposal is analyse the construction difficulties of multiple - choice tests as well some advantages and limitations of this type of tests. We also show the frequent critics and worries, since the beginning of this objective format usage. Finally in this context some examples of Multiple-Choice Items in the Mathematics area are given, and we illustrate as how we can take advantage and improve this kind of tests.

Technology for creativity and innovation: tools, techniques and applications

It is widely accepted that organizations and individuals must be innovative and continually create new knowledge and ideas to deal with rapid change. Innovation plays an important role in not only the development of new business, process and products, but also in competitiveness and success of any organization. Technology for Creativity and Innovation: Tools, Techniques and Applications provides empirical research findings and best practices on creativity and innovation in business, organizational, and social environments. It is written for educators, academics and professionals who want to improve their understanding of creativity and innovation as well as the role technology has in shaping this discipline.

The Role of lifelong learning in creation of a european knowledge-based society

The dominant discourse in education and training policies, at the turn of the millennium, was on lifelong learning (LLL) in the context of a knowledge-based society. As Green points (2002, pp. 611-612) several factors contribute to this global trend: The demographic change: In most advanced countries, the average age of the population is increasing, as people live longer; The effects of globalisation: Including both economic restructuring and cultural change which have impacts on the world of education; Global economic restructuring: Which causes, for example, a more intense demand for a higher order of skills; the intensified economic competition, forcing a wave of restructuring and creating enormous pressure to train and retrain the workforce In parallel, the ���significance of the international division of labour cannot be underestimated for higher education���, as pointed out by Jarvis (1999, p. 250). This author goes on to argue that globalisation has exacerbated differentiation in the labour market, with the First World converting faster to a knowledge economy and a service society, while a great deal of the actual manufacturing is done elsewhere.

Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta colaborativa na ��rea da gest��o da informa����o/conhecimento para aplica����o numa unidade de cuidados na comunidade

O presente projeto surgiu da necessidade de um instrumento de trabalho na ��rea da gest��o da informa����o / conhecimento a aplicar na Unidade de Cuidados na Comunidade dos Carvalhos (UCCC) que, pela sua estrutura de trabalho por projeto, abrange diversos grupos de utilizadores com perfis e necessidades espec��ficas. Rapidamente assumiu maior dimens��o, pois ao seu ponto de partida se conjugaram as oportunidades de utiliza����o das tecnologias de informa����o na ��rea da sa��de, a divulga����o da Unidade assim como a divulga����o de informa����o sobre sa��de e a intera����o com os utilizadores. O processo implicou a aplica����o das metodologias de Investiga����o A����o e de Gest��o de Projetos, resultando na cria����o e publica����o de um espa��o Web. Com o Content Management System (CMS) Joomla foi constru��do o Site UCC Carvalhos, que faculta simultaneamente informa����o sobre sa��de, oportunidade de aconselhamento especializado e personalizado e permite a organiza����o da documenta����o interna da Unidade referida. Nesta fase de in��cio de vida do site estabeleceu-se como tem��ticas priorit��rias a desenvolver a informa����o sobre a UCCC e o seu funcionamento assim como o projeto ���Companhia das Barriguinhas���, mais concretamente a Prepara����o para o Parto e Parentalidade. O desenvolvimento deste projeto superou as expectativas de todos os elementos envolvidos, pois para al��m de permitir obter resposta ��s necessidades identificadas, permitiu tamb��m experimentar as metodologias referidas de forma integrada e aprofundar tem��ticas como a gest��o da informa����o e conhecimento, o papel das tecnologias de informa����o e comunica����o na Sa��de e o papel do cidad��o na utiliza����o das mesmas no sentido de uma autonomia respons��vel na gest��o da sua Sa��de.
