O projecto Arte e Educação no Espaço Museológico realizado no Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea, no âmbito do Mestrado em Arte e Educação da Universidade Aberta, pretende afirmar que todos os espaços do museu intervêm junto dos diversos públicos e são importantes para que os museus sejam lugares de maravilhamento, de encontro, de reflexão, de criatividade e de aprendizagem. Em parceria com o Serviço Educativo do Museu, a Cafetaria desenvolveu, de forma articulada, actividades envolvendo grupos distintos de públicos e a exposição Pintura Portuguesa 1850-1975, com o objectivo de contribuir para a atractividade do museu e valorizar a experiência dos visitantes. O projecto desenvolvido teve em conta a transmutação das paredes do museu em si mesmo para o espaço da Cafetaria como lugar de tertúlia, onde foi possível num ambiente não formal a consumação das diversas actividades realizadas no espaço do MNAC como a sua abertura e complementaridade de uma outra forma de ser/estar no museu. A abrangência de públicos que integraram este projeto proporcionam uma troca rica de saberes, de vivências, de experiências e de uma diversidade plural de ver /estar no mundo. Para além, do contacto com a arte pictórica na sua maior essência e da fruição estética, foi possível proporcionar a estes públicos o contacto com uma outra forma de arte, a gastronomia, tantas vezes retratada por diversos artistas. Este projecto pretende ser uma lufada de ar fresco no espaço museológico e uma outra forma de ver /estar no museu em que é possível a fruição da arte num espaço de lazer, de ócio, de introspeção e retrospeção.

Com esta edição do projeto Aprender no Alentejo, publicaram-se três obras que reúnem largas dezenas de trabalhos de investigação realizados, na sua maioria, por estudantes dos cursos de pós-graduação da Universidade de Évora. No III Encontro do Aprender no Alentejo trouxeram-se, ao mundo académico, como objetos de investigação e de divulgação, diversas realidades educacionais existentes na região alentejana. Dos ambientes formais e escolares aos ambientes informais e puramente comunitários, foram selecionados e estudados casos em que ocorre aprendizagem e onde esta tem assumido contornos particulares, muitas vezes decorrentes da circunstância geográfica, social e económica onde ocorre. À medida que se vai estudando a realidade educacional presente no território desta região, mais evidente parece ser a verdadeira manta que é o Aprender no Alentejo. Uma manta, muitas vezes, construída das disponibilidades existentes, das oportunidades que aconteciam e acontecem e das vontades individual e coletiva, próprias de um povo habituado a lutar arduamente por tudo aquilo que tem direito. A Educação alentejana não tem fugido a esta regra. A um sistema escolar com um grau de acesso e permanência ainda insuficiente para a generalidade dos indivíduos, tem sempre existido, alternativa e complementarmente, um sistema informal e de grande proximidade familiar e comunitária, que tem permitido manter possível a vontade e capacidade de aprender. É destas duas realidades que se tem formado e mantido a manta que é a Educação alentejana. Uma manta colorida, com diferentes padrões e distintos motivos, recheada de diversidade, mas ainda uma manta curta. Uma manta que ainda não tapa todo o Alentejo. Urge terminar esta manta, para que todos os alentejanos possam exercer o seu direito a uma educação de qualidade, independentemente, do local do território onde tenham optado viver.

São Miguel de Machede é uma freguesia rural do concelho de Évora que tem cerca de um milhar de habitantes. Os micaelenses, cada vez mais idosos, apresentam uma baixa taxa de escolarização formal, hábitos de leitura quase inexistentes e uma relação infiel com a educação, qualquer que seja a modalidade. É neste, infelizmente vulgar, contexto alentejano, que nasce, em Março de 1998, uma Escola Comunitária. Entendida e vivida como espaço e tempo de aprendizagem informal, descontraída e lúdica, a Escola Comunitária da Suão – Associação de Desenvolvimento Comunitário, tem desenvolvido atividades com conteúdo educativo que vão desde a alfabetização de adultos (onde se aplica o método de Paulo Freire, devidamente contextualizado) até às visitas de estudo, não esquecendo as palestras, onde se fala de tudo ou quase tudo. É esta pequena história sobre a educação comunitária que a comunicação descreve nas linhas que a compõem.

O cuidador informal é aquela pessoa sobre quem recai a responsabilidade pela prestação da maioria dos cuidados ligados ao doente dependente, sem que para isso tenha sido preparado. Cabe-nos a nós técnicos de saúde orientar, no sentido de apoio e ajuda a estes cuidadores informais que têm a seu cargo um doente dependente, de modo a desenvolver as competências que lhes permita superar as mudanças e consequentemente favorecer um processo de adaptação mais rápido e consciente, melhorando a sua Qualidade de Vida e a do doente. Através da implementação de intervenções específicas, Educação para a Saúde. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho passou pela criação de um Guia de Boas Práticas e pela elaboração de um Plano de Formação com o objectivo de estabelecer linhas de orientação para a educação para a saúde e normalizar procedimentos que garantam as boas práticas na prevenção de Úlceras de Pressão em particular

A importância da educação ambiental vem crescendo desde a primeira Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre o Meio Ambiente, realizada em Estocolmo, em 1972. Portanto, está atrelada à tomada de consciência sobre os crescentes problemas ambientais em escala local, regional e global. Sua genealogia mais específica pode ser encontrada no seminário realizado pela Unesco em Belgrado, em 1975, no qual foram decididos os objetivos e as diretrizes básicas da educação ambiental, cristalizados na Carta de Belgrado. As conclusões do Relatório Brundtland, publicado em 1987, e a realização da Rio-92 aumentaram a preocupação com a educação ambiental, que então passou a ser contemplada nas legislações nacionais. No Brasil a lei n. 9.795/99 regulamentou a educação ambiental tanto na educação formal quanto na informal e os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais contemplaram o meio ambiente como tema transversal no ensino básico. Este trabalho pretende verificar as possibilidades da educação ambiental como tema transversal no ensino de Geografia na escola básica brasileira. Pretende também discutir seus limites num mundo onde há crescente demanda por recursos naturais, crescente consumismo, e que, portanto, tem aumentado os impactos ambientais em diversas escalas geográficas. Parece que há uma expectativa exagerada sobre as possibilidades da educação ambiental.

This paper suggests ways for educators and designers to understand and merge priorities in order to inform the development of mobile learning (m-learning) applications that maximise user experiences and hence learning opportunities. It outlines a User Experience Design (UXD) theory and development process that requires designers to conduct a thorough initial contextual inquiry into a particular domain in order to set project priorities and development guidelines. A matrix that identifies the key contextual considerations namely the social, cultural, spatial, technical and temporal constructs of any domain is presented as a vital tool for achieving successful UXD. The frame of reference provided by this matrix ensures that decisions made throughout the design process are attributable to a desired user experience. To illustrate how the proposed UXD theory and development process supports the creation of effective m-learning applications, this paper documents the development process of MILK (Mobile Informal Learning Kit). MILK is a support tool that allows teachers and students to develop event paths that consist of a series SMS question and answer messages that lead players through a series of checkpoints between point A and point B. These event paths can be designed to suit desired learning scenarios and can be used to explore a particular place or subject. They can also be designed to facilitate formal or informal learning experiences.

Research has suggested that corporate venturing is crucial to strategic renewal and firm performance, yet scholars still debate the appropriate organizational configurations to facilitate the creation of new businesses in existing organizations. Our study investigates the effectiveness of combining structural differentiation with formal and informal organizational as well as top management team integration mechanisms in establishing an appropriate context for venturing activities. Our findings suggest that structural differentiation has a positive effect on corporate venturing. In addition, our study indicates that a shared vision has a positive effect on venturing in a structurally differentiated context. Socially integrated senior teams and cross-functional interfaces, however, are ineffective integration mechanisms for establishing linkages across differentiated units and for successfully pursuing corporate venturing.

Objectives This research explores the relationship between young firms, their growth orientation-intention and a range of relationships which can be seen to provide business support. Prior-work Research indicates that networks impact the firm’s ability to secure resources (Sirmon and Hitt 2003; Liao and Welsch. 2004; Hanlon and Saunders 2007). Networks have been evaluated in a number of ways ranging from simple counts to characteristics of their composition (Davidsson and Honig 2003), strength of relationships (Granovetter 1973) and network diversity (Carter et al 2003). By providing access to resources and knowledge (from start-up assistance and raising capital, (e.g. Smallbone et al, 2003), networks may assist in enabling continued persistence during those times where firms may experience resource constraints owing to firm growth (Baker and Nelson 2005). Approach The data used in this research was generated in the 2008 UK Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) survey. Over 1,000 of the firms responding were found to fall into the category of “young”, ((defined as firms under 4 years old). Firms were considered the unit of analysis with the entrepreneur being the chief spokesperson for the firm. Preliminary data analysis considered key demographic characteristics and industry classifications, comparing the FSB data with that of the UK government’s own (BERR) Small Business Surveys of 2007 and 2008, to establish some degree of representativeness of the respondents. The analysis then examined networks with varying potential ability to provide support for young firms, the networks measured in terms of number, diversity, characteristic and strength in its relationship to young firm growth orientation. The diversity of business-support-related relationships ranged from friends and family, through professional services, customers and suppliers, and government business services, to trade associations and informal business networks. The characteristics of these formal and informal sources of support for new businesses are examined across a range of business support-type activities for new firms. The number of relationships and types of business support are also explored. Finally, the strength of these relationships is examined by analysis of the source of business support, type of business support, and links to the growth orientation-intention of the firm, after controlling for a number of key variables related to firm and industry status and owner characteristics. Results Preliminary analysis of the data by means of univariate analysis showed that average number of sources of advice was around 2.5 (from a potential total of 6). In terms of the diversity of relationships, universities had by far the smallest percentage of firms receiving beneficial advice from them. Government business services were beneficially used by 40% of young firms, the other relationship types being around the 50-55% mark. In terms of characteristics of the advice, the average number of areas in which benefit was achieved was around 5.5 of a maximum of 15. Start-up advice has by far the highest percentage of firms obtaining beneficial advice, with increasing sales, improving contacts and improving confidence being the other categories at or around the 50% mark. Other market-focused areas where benefits were also received were in the areas of new markets, existing product improvements and new product improvements, where around 40% of the young responding firms obtained benefit. Regression techniques evaluating the strength of these relationships in terms of the links between business support (by source of support, type of support, and range of support) and firm growth orientation-intention focus highlighted a number of significant relationships, even after controlling for a range of other explanatory variables identified in the literature. Specifically, there was found to be a positive relationship between receiving business advice generally (regardless of type or source) and growth orientation. This relationship was seen to be stronger, however, when looking at the number of types of beneficial advice received, and stronger again for the number of sources of this advice. In terms of individual sources of advice, customers and suppliers had the strongest relationship with growth, with Government business services also found to be significant. Combining these two sources was also seen to increase the strength of the relationship between these two sources of advice and growth orientation. In considering areas of support, growth was most strongly positively related to advice that benefited the development of new products and services, and also business confidence, but was negatively related to advice linked to business recovery. Finally, amalgamating the 4 key types and sources of advice to examine the impact of combinations of these types and sources of advice also improved the strength of the relationship. Implications The findings will assist in the understanding of young firms in general and growth more specifically, particularly the role and importance of specific sources, types and combinations of business support used more extensively by new young growth-oriented firms. Value This research may assist in processes designed to allow entrepreneurs to make better decisions; educators and support organizations to develop better advice and assistance, and Governments design better conditions for the creation of new growth-oriented businesses.

In the age of globalisation dominated by mass communication, the flow of information contributes to a big extent to the worldviews of its "global citizens". From this point of view the mass media can be seen as one of the most salient sources of cross-cultural communication. This study investigates mass communication across cultures, focusing on South East Asia (Malaysia and Singapore), Australia and Germany. The centre of attention is the Western media coverage of South East Asia and vice versa. In this context a content analysis of newspapers of the three regions has been conducted. In addition, working practices and conditions of Western foreign correspondents in South East Asia have been examined. Apart from the investigation of inter-cultural media coverage, another focus of attention will be the examination of two levels of communication: The business level, concentrating on issues like e.g. the Asian business etiquette; and the private level, looking into the transition to a different culture from the perspective of Australian and German expatriates. Apart from investigating mass communication across cultures and to provide a written analysis of the findings, a series of radio documentaries in English and in German has been produced. They cover the following issues: Foreign correspondents in South East Asia, the expatriate-lifestyle of Australians and Germans in South East Asia, business etiquette in Asia, student exchange Germany-Asia, image and prejudices East-West and Tourism.

Historically, 'Creativity' has had a complex set of meanings. Not long ago, 'Creativity' had a kind of marginal or peripheral status, being seen as the province of a gifted few; in many cases it was associated almost exclusively with the arts and with artists. But these traditional attitudes to creativity are changing. Mainstream businesses are employing people with creative skills as diverse as writing, directing, graphic design and event management. So what we’re beginning to see is an innovation framework and creative content adding value not just to SMEs, but to traditional industries such as manufacturing and mining, and to wider service industries. And this is why Education is such an important element, particularly with a focus on innovation, and on creative people and the contributions they make across different parts of the economy.
