The use of artificial intelligence in onboarding processes
Publication . Donga, Vanessa Botelho; Santos, Arnaldo
This study explores the role of e-learning in organizational training, focusing on onboarding processes and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
E-learning, supported by Learning Management Systems (LMS), is widely used to enhance skill development and reduce costs. In the Physical Activity, Leisure, and Health sector, particularly in gyms, high staff turnover presents onboarding challenges.
AI may support these processes by personalizing schedules, providing support, and collecting feedback, although human intervention remains essential.
Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), a survey-based empirical phase, and an implementation-oriented perspective, this study analyzes e-learning models and AI implementation in onboarding.
The questionnaire was administered through LimeSurvey between March 9, 2026, and April 13, 2026, made available in English, French, and German, and the extracted data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel.
A total of 49 responses were initially recorded, of which 27 fully completed questionnaires were considered valid for statistical analysis.
The findings offer practical insights into AI’s potential applicability to onboarding and internal training processes and support the proposal of a hybrid AI-supported LMS onboarding model.
Andragogy and active methodologies in regulatory standards training of high-performance activities: an experience in a pharmaceutical laboratory
Publication . Campos, Milton Roberto de Almeida; Arão, Isabelle Rocha; Santos, Luana Machado dos; Correa, Amanda Mendes Dias; Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Sousa, Hélder Fernando Pedrosa e; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Simões, Helder
Objective: The present research aims to raise a discussion about the use of pedagogical practices in workplace safety training, aiming to identify failures of the Regulatory Standards (RS) regarding the training requirements such as periodicity and level of instruction or training of instructors. Therefore, the general objective aims to present the active methodologies applicable to training in RS, through the use of andragogy. Method: A bibliographic and field research was conducted through the application of a questionnaire to a small exploratory convenienne sample to verify the main complaints or doubts of the collaborators regarding the training, namely the workload, teaching practices and also seeking to identify their opinion regarding the importance of the presence of teachers to provide training. Results: The analysis of the results allowed to identify some critical points in the RS, which fit pertinent changes, as well as to identify how important the application of pedagogical practices and strategies can be, such as andragogy guiding instructors regarding the treatment of adults in the learning process. Conclusion: Problem-Based Learning (PBL) emerges as the most attractive pedagogical practice to deal with training, transforming technically technicist teaching into a more efficient and attractive teaching-learning process for employees, mainly since the vast majority of training participants have not been in school environments for some time.
Competências digitais e igualdade de género em educação: desafios e práticas
Publication . Abelha, Marta; Almeida, Ana Patrícia; Neves, Claudia; Nobre, Ana
O artigo, desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto DIGENDER2PALOP, analisa de que forma docentes dos ensinos básico e secundário em Angola, Cabo Verde e Guiné-Bissau integram
competências digitais nas suas práticas pedagógicas e promovem a igualdade de género. A investigação adoptou uma abordagem mista, recorrendo a inquéritos por questionário e à realização de grupos focais, com enfoque na apropriação de um toolkit pedagógico e nos desafios enfrentados. Os resultados demonstram que persistem desigualdades estruturais no acesso à educação e às tecnologias.
Conclui-se que promover a literacia digital crítica, aliada à formação docente contínua e a políticas educativas sensíveis ao género, é essencial para uma cultura escolar mais inclusiva e equitativa nos contextos africanos de língua portuguesa.
Figurações do «rumor das saias de Elvira» no Universo de Eça de Queiroz : Amélia, Luísa e Maria Eduarda
Publication . Batalha, Aida de Jesus Correia; Piedade, Ana Nascimento
Eça de Queiroz é, indubitavelmente, uma das personalidades mais influentes na história da literatura portuguesa. Sobre ele podemos fazer as mais diversas leituras e interpretações, dado o riquíssimo e complexo legado que nos deixou. A sua obra transbordou os limites do tempo e chegou até nós envolta num manto de hodiernidade, como procuraremos demonstrar ao longo deste estudo. Pela sua mão somos apresentados a inúmeras personagens-tipo, por meio das quais o escritor procurou retratar a decadência que dominava a sociedade portuguesa do século XIX. A representação da mulher tem, em Eça, traços muito particulares, que nos transportam para um imaginário erótico muito pouco (ou nada) usual para a sociedade oitocentista. A religião e a educação impunham as regras e os padrões de conduta para a época, ainda que a segunda, influenciada, de certo modo, pelas estéticas literárias em voga (Romantismo e Ultrarromantismo), originasse, não raras vezes, comportamentos desafiadores da moral cristã e dos “bons costumes”. Não obstante, Eça não se coíbe de abordar a temática do erotismo, com pormenores tão meticulosos que muitos consideraram algumas das suas obras “impróprias”, especialmente para as senhoras. É precisamente no estudo de três das mais marcantes personagens femininas ecianas que este trabalho assenta: Amélia (O Crime do Padre Amaro), Luísa (O Primo Basílio) e Maria Eduarda (Os Maias). Procuraremos observar de que modo o eros, associado ao desejo, ao erotismo e à sexualidade, influencia as três mulheres, enquanto tentaremos identificar, também, que traços ou figurações do «rumor das saias de Elvira» nelas podemos encontrar.
A Anja de José Rodrigues
Publication . Silva, Yolanda; Gonçalves, Carla Alexandra
This dissertation analyses the sculpture Anja (1996), by Master José Rodrigues, as a work of synthesis and rupture within the landscape of contemporary Portuguese public art. The study is structured around three fundamental axes: the artistic trajectory of José Rodrigues and his investigation into female corporeality and the sacred; the iconographic genealogy of the angel, from the influences of ancient cultures to the contemporary period; and an iconological reading of the work in its original urban context – Praça de Lisboa (formerly Praça do Anjo), in Porto. Through a methodology that articulates Panofsky and Warburg's iconology – mediated by Didi-Huberman’s reading of the image as symptom and as survival – with Pierre Nora's concept of lieu de mémoire and Martin Heidegger's notion of world, the dissertation demonstrates that Anja breaks with angelological tradition by presenting a nude, fragmented and exposed female figure, merging the sacred and the profane. The analysis of the site reveals a deliberate symbolic inversion: where the female body was historically confined (in the Recolhimento do Anjo), José Rodrigues proposes its public exposure. The research concludes that Anja did not find its world – the urban space, itself in an identity crisis, failed to offer the conditions for the work to take root.
Nevertheless, despite its theft and mutilation in 2006, the sculpture persists as a critical memory of the city, interrogating the relationship between public art, vulnerability and urban amnesia. Anja thus transcends its materiality to become an object of consciousness –and, perhaps, a promise of a time yet to come.
