- e-Learning diversification in higher education: conceptions of participationPublication . Dias, Paulo; Aires, Luísa; Moreira, DarlindaIn this chapter, we reflect on the conceptions and different forms of participation in e-Learning contexts in higher education and its influences in climate change literacy. Although the literature review highlights intense research on the value of participation in informal contexts, we argue that the construction of a pedagogical discourse on e-Learning cannot be sustained without the pedagogy of participation. Such participation also acquires new meanings when analysed using socio-constructivist and cultural approaches. In this study, the analysis of participation in e-Learning contexts is based on categories such as leadership, sharing and cohesion. The empirical data we present are the result of more wide-ranging research carried out at the Observatório da Qualidade da Educação a Distância e e-Learning (Distance Education and e-Learning Observatory) at the Universidade Aberta, Portugal. Data were collected from the online questionnaire given to a sample of 26 e-Learning course leaders and pedagogical coordinators in face-to-face higher education institutions. The conclusions of the study highlight the different conceptions about the nature of e-Learning processes and practices in higher education, which we believe highlight the need to promote a participation-oriented pedagogy as a fundamental aspect of both climate change literacy/education and online education and based on the construction of both pedagogical innovation and teachers’ education to teach in virtual environments.
- Identity trends of academics at the Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University)Publication . Moreira, Darlinda; Henriques, Susana; Aires, LuísaAs a result of the European crises, higher education institutions have been affected by dramatic budgets cuts that have repercussions in the quality of education, in the financial support for research, in students support as well as in the faculty’s capacity to promote their own professional development. Moreover advances in communication technology have been radically transforming all the different dimensions of academic life. This chapter presents the analytical perspective of three academic women that belong to the Department of Education and Distance Education in the Portuguese Open Education University and who have lived through the profound transformations in their university that have impact in pedagogical approaches, content and teaching materials, student population, and methodologies.as well as in social adjustments related to: how the national framework of faculty professional development integrates the differences of our institution and how we act before them.
- Transição de emergência para o ensino online em universidades portuguesas na sequência da pandemia de Covid-19: estudo exploratórioPublication . Seabra, Filipa; Aires, Luísa; Teixeira, AntónioOs desafios da transição acelerada para as práticas de Ensino Remoto de Emergência no ensino superior, na sequência da Covid-19, obrigaram à identificação urgente de práticas adotadas nas instituições de ensino superior em Portugal, como estão a ser coordenadas e adaptadas estas práticas ao longo do tempo e como professores e alunos do ensino superior têm percecionado este processo. Para a concretização destes objetivos, foram elaborados dois questionários, aplicados online entre 22/04 e 12/05 2020, que nos permitiram recolher dados sobre o momento em que ocorreu a transição, as práticas adotadas, a coordenação e avaliação do processo e as experiências positivas e negativas. Os professores e alunos que participaram no estudo apontam para um processo de transição coordenado a nível institucional e, em grande parte, resultado da iniciativa individual. Embora se tenha registado um acesso amplo e de alta qualidade à Internet, este acesso não foi universal. Detetou-se também uma avaliação moderadamente positiva deste processo, apesar de se reconhecer o aumento significativo da quantidade e intensidade de trabalho de professores e alunos.
