- Motivating students to learn computer programming in higher education: the SimProgramming approachPublication . Nunes, Ricardo Rodrigues; Cruz, Gonçalo; Pedrosa, Daniela; Maia, Ana Margarida; Morgado, Leonel; Paredes, Hugo; Cravino, José; Martins, PauloThis paper presents an action research study aiming to motivate undergraduate students to develop their computer programming learning skills, particularly within the transition from beginner to proficient level. The SimProgramming motivational approach is presented as a didactic proposal for this context. From the results of this iterative research process, we concluded that SimProgramming is a promising tool for teaching computer programming skills in intermediate classes, with potential to be used and/or applied in other educational contexts.
- Multimodal narratives as a tool for in-service teachers in an online professional development coursePublication . Pedrosa, Daniela; Cruz, Gonçalo; Morgado, LeonelThis chapter presents how multimodal narratives were employed as a self-reflection tool within an online professional development program for in-service teacher training at Universidade Aberta, Portugal during two editions of a pedagogic practice course. The chapter includes the aspects that raised issues and those that trainees performed correctly. This is done in three stages: beforehand, upon initial contact with multimodal narratives, and after providing feedback to trainees. The most relevant issues were in aspects directly required to enrich the narrative. Aspects related to multimodal narrative structure and features were completed successfully. It is recommended that future attempts to employ multimodal narratives in this context adapt learning resources and pedagogic support practices by employing formative feedback and continual support during the trainees' process of exploring and exploiting multimodal narratives.
