- Centros escolares: espaços de colaboração transformadora entre docentes da educação pré-escolar e do primeiro cicloPublication . Miranda, Helena; Abelha, Marta; Seabra, FilipaAs práticas colaborativas docentes têm sido objeto de crescente atenção, particularmente quanto ao impacto na melhoria do desempenho profissional e da qualidade do ensino. O reordenamento da rede escolar, em Portugal, ocorrido há duas décadas, congregou os docentes dos primeiros níveis de educação (anteriormente lecionando estabelecimentos dispersos) em centros escolares. O presente artigo apresenta dados de um estudo de caso realizado em centros escolares portugueses, equacionando se essa agregação estaria a propiciar a observação de práticas entre docentes, o incremento de atitudes de diálogo e de colaboração, e quais as suas repercussões no desenvolvimento profissional docente. Foram realizadas quatro entrevistas em focus group englobando, na totalidade, vinte e oito docentes de educação pré-escolar e 1º ciclo do ensino básico 5, complementadas por sete entrevistas individuais. Como resultados principais, evidenciou-se o ônus da tradição de individualismo e confirmaram-se as mais-valias do reordenamento escolar. Com efeito, a agregação conduziu a reconfigurações nas interações, nas metodologias de trabalho e nas práticas curriculares dos docentes envolvidos. As conclusões apontam para a viabilidade do papel do centro escolar enquanto recurso formativo privilegiado de fácil acesso, relevando na melhoria do desempenho profissional. Foi reconhecida uma contribuição mais importante ao convívio e ao trabalho entre pares, em detrimento de formações institucionalizadas.
- Editorial: Pedagogic innovation and student learning in higher education: perceptions, practices and challengesPublication . Fernandes, Sandra; Abelha, Marta; Alves, Anabela Carvalho; Oliveira, Ana Tereza FerreiraWithin the constantly evolving set of challenges faced by Higher Education institutions, pedagogic innovation has been at the heart of the discussion on the quality of Education. Teaching, learning, and assessment methods have significantly changed in the recent years, which has led to a transformation in the role of students and teachers, giving the former a more active role in the construction of his/her own learning process and the latter the responsibility of creating the adequate learning environment. This Research Topic on “Pedagogic innovation and student learning in higher education: perceptions, practices, and challenges” compiles research and practice concerning pedagogic innovation and student learning in higher education, giving special attention to the perceptions, practices and challenges of all those involved in the process—students, teachers, employers, and other stakeholders. This Editorial describes the key ideas and objectives of the 22 articles accepted for publication in this Research Topic. Due to the variety of article types (14 Original Research, 2 Curriculum, Instruction and Pedagogy, 2 Systematic Reviews, 1 Perspective, 1 Methods, 1 Opinion, and 1 Study Protocol) included in the Research Topic, it offers a diverse array of insights and perspectives. While each article has its unique focus, it is possible to identify three main common themes that emerged from articles included in this Research Topic. They are: (1) Innovative Pedagogical Approaches; (2) Student Learning and Development; and (3) Teaching and Faculty Perspectives.
- Educação social e aprendizagem e serviço (ApS): uma forma de educação experiencialPublication . Abelha, Marta; Fernandes, Sandra; Miguel, Isabel; Sousa, EdgarA Aprendizagem e Serviço (ApS) constitui uma forma de educação experiencial que combina objetivos de aprendizagem com o serviço na/com a comunidade. Este artigo apresenta uma experiência de ApS que decorreu numa IES privada, em Portugal. Os participantes no estudo são estudantes do 2ºano da Licenciatura em Educação Social. O projeto integrou três unidades curriculares: i) Planeamento, Gestão e Avaliação de Projetos Sociais; ii) Mediação Educacional; iii) Psicologia Social. A experiência ApS também envolveu um parceiro da comunidade local, onde os estudantes implementaram as suas atividades. Os resultados da avaliação da experiência, partindo do feedback recolhido junto dos estudantes, professores e membros da comunidade, revelam um balanço positivo das potencialidades desta nova abordagem educacional, destacando-se a participação e o envolvimento ativo dos estudantes, a articulação entre a teoria e a prática e o desenvolvimento de competências como o trabalho em equipa, a reflexão crítica e o compromisso social e ético.
- Educators by proxy: emergency remote teaching and learning from the voice of parentsPublication . Seabra, Filipa; Abelha, Marta; Aires, Luísa; Teixeira, AntónioIntroduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led educational systems worldwide to transpose activities planned for face-to-face education to mediated contexts - through what is known as Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning (ERTL). This posed unprecedented challenges to schools, teachers, families, and students. In this context, it was relevant to describe and understand how parents perceived this process, including what challenges to themselves and their children they faced and what advantages they acknowledged in the process. The present study focuses on Portuguese parents’ views on this process. Methods: Data were gathered in April and May 2020 through an online questionnaire answered by 184 parents of preschool, basic, and secondary education students (ages 3–18). The present paper presents data from open questions analyzed by deductive and inductive content analysis using MaxQDA. Results and discussion: Results evidence three overarching themes: equity, parental labor, and the meaning of school. Parents reveal substantial difficulties juggling the role of proxy educator and parent and point to inequalities - including those concerning very young children, children with disabilities or learning difficulties, students enrolled in professional education, families with insufficient access to technologies, and parents working from home. The school is portrayed as a crucial environment for development, a designated space for learning and caretaking, but also a relational and emotional context. Despite this scenario, parents acknowledge ERTL as having positive aspects and as the possible outlet to keep education going even in extreme situations.
- Effect(s) of teacher evaluation on collaborative practices: induction or inhibition?Publication . Marcos, Ana; Machado, Eusébio André; Abelha, MartaThis article deals with collaborative practices of teachers in the context of teacher evaluation. For this purpose and following a theoretical framework that is previously explained, we proceed to the presentation of partial results obtained in the framework of an ongoing study. In conclusion, and based on the available empirical evidence, we discuss the effect(s) of the teacher evaluation, assessing in particular, its role as a factor of induction or inhibition of collaborative practices.
- Emergency remote teaching and learning and teachers’ digital competencePublication . Seabra, Filipa; Aires, Luísa; Abelha, Marta; Teixeira, AntónioThe challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to quickly mobilize toward emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) practices. Teachers’ digital competences were essential in this context. This study aims to identify the ERTL practices adopted in Portugal and how they were perceived by teachers of students aged 3 to 18. Data were gathered through a questionnaire administered online during April and May 2020 to 329 teachers. ERTL was perceived as an opportunity to develop their own and their students’ digital competences. Teachers expressed a moderately positive view of the process and reported an experience of work overload. The pedagogical practices implemented by teachers during this period were diverse and differed according to gender, self-assessment of digital competence, and level of education taught. Results point to the importance of continued teacher training to achieve quality distance education.
- Emergency remote teaching and learning in Portugal: preschool to secondary school teachers’ perceptionsPublication . Seabra, Filipa; Teixeira, António; Abelha, Marta; Aires, LuísaEmergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) represent a critical and challenging time for teachers globally. To understand how Portuguese teachers interpreted their ERTL experiences of the first lockdown, we started by asking: What perspectives do teachers have about ERTL? Answering three open questions made available online between April and May of 2020, a sample of 305 preschool, basic, and secondary school teachers expressed their perspectives on (i) difficulties throughout ERTL; (ii) students’ constraints in participating in ERTL; (iii) the potential and benefits resulting from this exceptional period. Data were analyzed using content analysis. While Portuguese teachers perceived ERTL with concern, a majority also saw it as an opportunity. Workload, work conditions, and time management were the most frequently mentioned difficulties. Regarding students’ constraints, teachers emphasized participation, the role of parents, lack of contact, and autonomy. Despite the constraints and difficulties, teachers highlighted gains such as the development of digital competencies and the opportunity to transform teaching and learning. Only 18 teachers suggested there were no positive outcomes from this experience. Since this is an exploratory study, further studies are needed to triangulate the findings.
- Graduate employability and competence development in higher education: a systematic literature review using PRISMAPublication . Abelha, Marta; Fernandes, Sandra; Mesquita, Diana; Seabra, Filipa; Oliveira, Ana Teresa FerreiraThis paper aims to develop a systematic review on graduate employability and competence development, intending to present an international perspective on the matter. It analyses the role of higher education institutions in promoting the development of competences for employability. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement was used as a formal systematic review guideline for data collection. Data was obtained from research studies over the period 2009–2019. The analysis included a total of 69 papers from Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. Results show that Europe leads the number of publications on these topics during the past decade. One of the main issues associated with competence development and graduate employability found in the review is related to the (mis)match between university graduates’ competences and employers’ needs. Findings indicate that higher education institutions are concerned with using strategies to enhance the development of competences for graduate employability. Graduate employability and competence development around the world depend on a strong sense of innovation and collaboration practices implemented in higher education
- Las competencias en las políticas de currículum de ciencias: los casos de Brasil y PortugalPublication . Martins, Idalina; Abelha, Marta; Abreu, Rozana Gomes de; Costa, Nilza; Lopes, Alice CasimiroEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar comparativamente las políticas curriculares producidas recientemente en Brasil y en Portugal; se centra en el significante competencia y enfatiza tanto en las aproximaciones como en los distanciamientos y deslices de sentidos de ese concepto. Dicho análisis se desarrolló esencialmente con base en el abordaje del ciclo continuo de políticas de Stephen Ball. Concluimos que las diferencias entre las apropiaciones realizadas en los dos países se derivan, sobre todo, del modo de actuación de los investigadores en enseñanza de las ciencias y currículum en el sentido local del significante analizado.
- Learning in troubled times: parents' perspectives on emergency remote teaching and learningPublication . Seabra, Filipa; Abelha, Marta; Teixeira, António; Aires, LuísaThe COVID‐19 pandemic triggered profound social consequences, affecting all aspects of human activity, including education. The process of remote teaching that was implemented in response to this crisis is known as emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL). The present study focuses on Portuguese parents’ perspectives about this process. Data were gathered through an online questionnaire, answered by 203 parents of preschool, basic, and secondary education students (ages 3–18), focusing on self‐perceived digital competence, satisfaction with ERTL, and pedagogical activities developed with their children. Parents were moderately satisfied with ERTL but expressed a marked increase in their workload, particularly those working from home. Parents of children in the second cycle of basic education (ages 10–12) were less satisfied with the process. A variety of activities was promoted, responding to different educational levels’ characteristics. Results show the importance of promoting parents’ digital competence and directing support policies, particularly to parents of younger children (ages 3–12), and raise concerns about equity.
