- Aprendizagem em ambientes online no ensino superior em PortugalPublication . Moreira, J. António; Nejmeddinne, Fouad; Almeida, Ana CristinaNeste artigo analisamos o impacto de ambientes online na perceção das competências de autoaprendizagem. Participaram na investigação 277 estudantes do ensino superior, constituídos formalmente em turmas, cuja orientação pedagógica comportou uma vertente de aprendizagem online. No final do semestre letivo, os estudantes responderam a uma escala de competências de autoaprendizagem, adaptada para aprendizagem em ambientes virtuais. Todos os participantes frequentavam unidades curriculares das Ciências Sociais e Humanas do ensino superior em Portugal em diferentes instituições. Os resultados do estudo mostram que os ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, ancorados em designs centrado no desenvolvimento de competências e num modelo pedagógico baseado nos princípios do construtivismo, da autonomia e da interação podem ter efeitos muito positivos na perceção das competências de aprendizagem dos estudantes do ensino superior, nas dimensões consideradas: Aprendizagem Ativa ou Aceitação da Responsabilidade Pessoal pela Aprendizagem, Iniciativa de Aprendizagem e Orientação para a Experiência e Autonomia na Aprendizagem. São discutidas as implicações dos resultados encontrados, tanto do ponto de vista de intervenção prática, como da reflexão para o futuro dos processos educativos.
- Comparing communities of inquiry in higher education students: one for all or one for each?Publication . Moreira, J. António; Ferreira, António G.; Almeida, Ana CristinaThe purpose of this study was to report evidence obtained in a survey based on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework (Garrison, Anderson & Archer, 1991; 2000) carried out in different groups. The study comprised 510 higher education students enrolled in blended online courses offered through Moodle platform during one semester. It considered students from different private and public Portuguese polytechnic schools and universities. Moreira & Almeida (2011) have suggested that CoI framework is a valid, reliable, and efficient measure of its dimensions within the Portuguese population. Although similarities in aspects of social presence were discovered among polytechnic and universities students, the two groups showed some differences. In particular, it was observed that the polytechnic students appear to be a more robust community when compared to university students.
- Self-learning skills perceveid in communities of inquiry of portuguese higher education studentsPublication . Moreira, J. António; Ferreira, António G.; Almeida, Ana CristinaThe purpose of this study was to report evidence obtained in Communities of Inquiry (CoI) as framed by the work of Garrison, Anderson and Archer (2000) that was carried out in different groups, and identify the emergent learning skills of its students. The study comprised 510 undergraduate students enrolled in blended online courses offered through Moodle platform during one semester. It considered students from different Portuguese schools, of University and Polytechnic in Health, Education and Psychology Courses. Moreira and Almeida (2011) have suggested that CoI framework is a valid, reliable, and efficient measure of its dimensions within the Portuguese population. Assuming the CoI survey as a useful evaluation tool for providing feedback about the effectiveness of online courses in the construction of effective learning communities, we’ve studied the skills students recognize they acquire in virtual environments of learning, using the adapted Self-Learning Competence Scale (Lima-Santos, Rurato, & Faria, 2000). We’ve con- cluded that in both institutions, University and Polytechnic, relevant learning experiences have been fos- tered, towards the emergence of communities of inquiry, in which the students perceived that they have developed self-learning competences.
- Understanding learning skills in online learning environments by higher education studentsPublication . Moreira, J. António; Ferreira, António G.; Almeida, Ana CristinaCan virtual environments promote learning skills such that higher education students understand them? This paper examines the impact of new online educational scenarios as to how self-learning skills are perceived. The research covered 277 higher education students grouped into classrooms, and their tutoring included an online learning component. At the end of the academic semester, students responded to a range of self-learning skills adapted to learning in virtual environments. All participants attended Social and Human Sciences course units in higher education, in different institutions, respectively the State Public University and Private Polytechnic institutions. The results of the study show that virtual learning environments, anchored in a design focused on the development of skills and in a teaching model based on the principles of constructivism, autonomy and interaction can be positive in how higher education students perceive learning skills, according to the following dimensions: Active Learning, Learning Initiative and Autonomy. The study examines the implications of the findings, from the perspective of both the practical intervention and the reflection on the future of educational processes.
