Behind video lectures in a MOOC

The year 2012 was the “boom year” in MOOC and all its outstanding growth until now, made us move forward in designing the first MOOC in our Institution (and the third in our country, Portugal). Most MOOC are video lectured based and the learning analytic process to these ones is just taking its first steps. Designing a video-lecture seems, at a first glance, very easy: one can just record a live lesson or lecture and turn it, directly, into a video-lecture (even here one may experience some “sound” and “camera” problems); but developing some engaging, appealing video-lecture, that motivates students to embrace knowledge and that really contributes to the teaching/learning process, it is not an easy task. Therefore questions like: “What kind of information can induce knowledge construction, in a video-lecture?”, “How can a professor interact in a video-lecture when he is not really there?”, “What are the video-lectures attributes that contribute the most to viewer’s engagement?”, “What seems to be the maximum “time-resistance” of a viewer?”, and many others, raised in our minds when designing video-lectures to a Mathematics MOOC from the scratch. We believe this technological resource can be a powerful tool to enhance students' learning process. Students that were born in digital/image era, respond and react slightly different to outside stimulus, than their teachers/professors ever did or do. In this article we will describe just how we have tried to overcome some of the difficulties and challenges we tackled when producing our own video-math-lectures and in what way, we feel, videos can contribute to the teaching and learning process at higher education level.

Envelhecer: ser e estar - Projeto de intervenção num lar de idosos.

O presente documento reflete o percurso do desenho e do desenvolvimento de um projeto de Educação e Intervenção Social num Lar de idosos. Com base numa metodologia de Investigação-Ação Participativa, que privilegia os discursos, perceções e vivências dos atores sociais que integram esta realidade, procurou-se identificar os problemas e as necessidades. O conhecimento coconstruído com os idosos e profissionais da instituição permitiram a conceção e desenvolvimento do projeto “Envelhecer: ser e estar” que assentou, essencialmente, nas necessidades de (re) ativar e fortalecer as relações interpessoais, fomentar momentos de partilha, convívio, diálogo, discussão, negociação e participação, bem como, na urgência de envolver as pessoas na organização e ocupação do seu tempo livre promovendo a participação, o convívio e o lazer entre os idosos. Sendo um projeto das pessoas e com as pessoas, foram pensadas e planeadas ações e atividades que dessem resposta aos objetivos a que o projeto se propunha na tentativa de transformar e mudar os problemas e necessidades identificados pelos participantes. O projeto possibilitou, desta forma, iniciar um processo que permitiu fortalecer as relações entre os idosos, bem como envolvê-los na organização e participação das atividades do seu tempo livre, resultando num processo de transformação pessoal, grupal e institucional de permanente e contínua construção

Relatório de estágio em ensino do 1º ciclo do ensino básico

O presente relatório de estágio de qualificação profissional para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico pretende refletir o percurso realizado em dois momentos de estágio, um desenvolvido em contexto de educação pré-escolar, com um grupo de crianças entre o 4 e os 5 anos, e o outro no ensino do 1.º ciclo do ensino básico, com uma turma do 3.º ano de escolaridade. A opção metodológica recaiu sobre a investigação-ação, que implica uma atitude de reflexão constante, tendo em vista a melhoria da ação educativa e o desenvolvimento profissional da formanda. Esta metodologia é cíclica, integrando diferentes fases, como a observação, planificação, ação, reflexão e avaliação. De forma a apoiar esta metodologia foram utilizadas estratégias formativas, como o estágio em díade, os guiões de pré-observação, a grelha de observação do ambiente educativo, as narrativas colaborativas e individuais, as planificações, a supervisão institucional e a avaliação reguladora. O presente relatório encontra-se dividido em três capítulos, sendo o primeiro de enquadramento teórico e conceptual, no qual se convocam autores e documentos legais para fundamentar a componente prática, o segundo de caracterização da instituição e meio envolvente e o terceiro de apresentação e análise das práticas desenvolvidas em contexto de estágio, enfatizando o desenvolvimento das competências profissionais. Em suma, a realização dos estágios em contextos distintos permitiu um desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional, que deverá continuar a ser um enfoque através da formação contínua

Viva@Matemática project: a different way to see math

Viva@Mat is a project developed by four Math teachers from the School of Industrial Studies and Management (ESEIG) that was born with the fundamental objective of engaging ESEIG students with different math backgrounds in Math challenging activities. Some of these activities were transformed into real palpable materials and others into small interactive ones, being the great majority of them proposed by ESEIG’ students themselves. This small project rapidly grew into something we didn’t expect – it did flow over the walls of our institution to the general involving community – specifically to pre-university schools through the Viva@Math Exhibits – Orange, Blue and Green (the fourth, the Purple one is still in development). Nowadays, Viva@Math Exhibits – the public face of the Project – are itinerant and have been travelling between several, and different institutions (pre-university schools, preparatory schools, libraries, among others), around ESEIG and IPP area of influence and having registered visitors/participants of all ages. In this article we will describe the Viva@Math Project, its different activities that are categorized in some “great groups” like Numerical Trivia, Logic Activities and Mental Calculation, Puzzles, Geometric Curiosities, Magic Tricks, among others, designed to challenge students to use the underlying logical-mathematical reasoning to any ordinary and everyday activity. We will give specific and concrete examples of some of the activities developed and, also, reproduce of the general stimulating feedback the Project receives from the enrolled “actors” (teachers, students and their relatives, institutions, among others). We feel that this Project has become a small “bridge” between the pre-university schools and Higher Education Institutions (HEI), in trying to shorten the “gap” between the institutions of different levels of education and bring them to work together.

Aplicação do FMEA na avaliação de risco de taludes e muros de contenção tradicionais em alvenaria de pedra

Ao longo das últimas décadas o município de Amarante tem-se deparado com inúmeros problemas de instabilidade de estruturas de suporte de terras, maioritariamente instabilidade de taludes artificiais, (escavação e/ou aterro) e muros de contenção tradicionais em alvenaria de pedra. A unidade técnica de projeto, ou UTP da Câmara Municipal de Amarante tem vindo a elaborar estudos, projetos e adjudicar as obras para repor a normalidade apos a instabilização desses elementos, contudo a frequência de ocorrência destes fenómenos e os recursos necessários para a sua resolução ultrapassam a capacidade desta unidade, levando a que muitos destes casos se arrastem durante anos antes de ser reposta a sua normalidade. Perante este panorama revelou-se necessário efetuar um estudo de forma a listar, avaliar e priorizar os vários casos de instabilidade existentes, para uma eficiente alocação dos recursos disponíveis. Esta análise pretende ainda identificar as principais causas de instabilidade destas estruturas, de forma a eliminar ou mitigar a ocorrência de futuros problemas semelhantes. Para o estudo destes elementos de contenção de terras adotou-se o método de análise de risco conhecido como FMEA, “Failure Modes and Effects Analysis” ou Analise dos Modos de Falha e Efeitos, com as adaptações necessárias de forma a maximizar a confiabilidade das avaliações mediante a especificidade dos casos a avaliar e realidade da instituição.

Fatores de risco no patrulhamento da GNR em ambiente operacional

In the mid-twentieth century, Portugal took the first big step towards social awareness of the Safety and Health at Work. Still later, the International Labour Organization and the World Health Organization were responsible for setting global guidelines that clarified the States for the way forward in inguito of safeguarding the common interests of workers, businesses and the state. All workers should be covered by the rules governing matters relating to Safety, imperative requirements established in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic. These also include those soldiers from National Guard who, in contemporary social conjecture face in their everyday life situations worthy of heightened risk aquidade. Ensure the identification of risk factors to which they are exposed, is, first, a big boost in the way of preserving the safety of these employees, who daily selflessly and under the most adverse working conditions fulfill the mission of the Guarda Nacional Republicana. Adverse weather conditions, and violence at work are two examples of risk factors to which the military Guard are daily exposed, and hence arise many days of absence from the workplace. The purpose of this study is to identify the main risk factors to which the military from GNR are exposed during dismounted patrols, and also provide solutions on ways to mitigate and manage the risks presented. The cognitive distance traveled, throughout this study led us to demonstrate that it has been done by the GNR chain of Command, a huge effort to ensure through various forms (including emphasize the new Regulation of Uniforms), the resolution of the main factors that may jeopardize the integrity of the patrolmen, betting this Institution in the protection of the military that compose it, and the prevention of accidents at work through training and systematic monitoring that superiors expend with its employees.

Relatório de estágio na Caixa Geral de Depósitos

This report will describe the activities undertaken during my internship at the Personnel Department (DPE-UPE4.1) in Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD), Lisbon, between September 22, 2014, and February 28, 2015. I consider that it is important to note from the outset i) that the subject of my training was suggested by my supervisor in the DPE and accepted by me; and ii) that the internship consisted essentially of carrying out research and information gathering into the different social systems that coexist within the bank and the application of each legal system in solving concrete situations of the CGD employees. The research and analysis of information was important not only for my study but for the CGD itself, as it enables the department to have such an important matter, full of specific characteristics, condensed into a single document, i.e. this report. This is a complex reality. The various welfare systems differ according to the contractual agreement linking the employee to the employer at the date when the labour contract is signed, and also the unique/singular characteristics of the CGD. In the early stage I started by trying to understand the financial institution and its organization and role and the department where I worked. So I analyzed the CGD Statutes and the legal measures that crystallized the scheme for its employees and I also researched its domestic and international operations. The first month was devoted to the research and analysis of such legislation to understand the creation of the CGD and its path to date. In the second and third months I studied the legal social systems that are applied to different groups of CGD workers. This period was quite important to identify and understand the differences between those regimes of CGD employees as well as the procedure inherent in each case. I highlighted the non-implementation of “the social protection regime of convergence” to the workers of this institution; the differences regarding the allocation of sickness subsidies paid to workers who belong to Social Security and CGA contributors, as well as the enforcement of internal rules to all the workers when a work-related accident happens.Then I focused on to assessing and examining external legislation and several internal regulations in order to obtain solutions to questions raised and situations involving by the workers, in order to understand how the DPE solves these situations. Over the last three months of internship, after this more theoretical work, I began the analysis of concrete situations involving employees carrying out their duties in Portugal and abroad. Some of these situations had been received by the department before the beginning of my internship and others over this period. When I was “working” in the DPE I analyzed “cases” that had been solved and some others without a final solution because they were still in courts. As for the last ones (new cases) I was able to follow their assessment and sometimes their outcome. Some of them became study cases for me. Over these five months of my internship, several cases were analyzed and discussed by legal experts of DPE in which I could participate. I always worked hard. I know that this action contributed to elucidate me about the treatment of the issues, and allowed me to have a direct contact with some workers and be part of a dynamic work team. For these reasons, my internship report is not merely descriptive of activities. It consists of an analysis of rules (legislation) and a regulatory framework of activities and it is also a description of several specific situations solved or in a solution process. Through this work I intend to make known the particular reality of a modern Portuguese financial institution not only because of its importance in our country but also such a large number of employees work here (in Portugal and abroad). I should add that throughout my internship I was allowed to attend conferences, within the scope of the bank in order to get a broader view of some issues related to the daily life of the DPE and the CGD. So, I participated in I Jornadas Bancárias and the Conferência Internacional do Contrato a Termo, given that the CGD is a bank and the DPE deals with legal and labour relations.
