  • Student´s digital transformation during higher education: entrance and exit digital profile
    Publication . Messias, Inês; Loureiro, Ana
    Digital technology has entered almost all areas of our daily lives to the point that we call our own society the Digital one. In the last 2 years with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, that has forced most of us to work from our homes, connecting online, this aspect of growing more digital has accelerated. This transition to remote work reminded us, once more, of the need to empower students with the required digital skills, or e-skills, to enter the labour market that “demands highly skilled people” [1], to perform lifelong learning, and to help answering the call of the European Commission’s Digital Compass targets of developing digital competences until 2030. This paper is the first part of an ongoing research that aims to understand the Higher Education (HE) Students’ Digital Profile when they enter HE, and then assess if their existing digital profile is correspondent to the labour market´s ideal profile when they finish their studies. This research also and foremost aims to design a research model for Student’s Digital Profile, providing us with the opportunity to assess this on a yearly basis, to the students that enter HE and the ones that are finishing their studies, helping Higher Education Institutions perceive if their studies’ syllabus are adequate to empower students with the needed workforce digital competences each specific field of expertise requires. As this study is correspondent to the first part of this research, this paper will focus on the literature review and research methodology that will lead us to our first results

    This proposal is part of an ongoing research and presents the results on the perceptions and pedagogical practices experienced by students from various higher education degrees in Portuguese higher education institutions, during the period of social confinement determined by the Portuguese Government, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of the general research was to understand how Higher Education faculty and students experienced the digital transition to emergency education and the pedagogical practices adopted during the period. The research was based on a mixed methods approach and, in order to address the research objectives and describe the pedagogical practices implemented, specific instruments were developed for data collection. A questionnaire was developed, aimed at students, and interviews aimed at both students and faculty, focusing on technological and pedagogical dimensions, as well as the assessment of the experience. Data collection was carried out after the first lockdown, at the end of the first semester of 2020, and took place in eight higher education institutions. In this paper we will present a preliminary analysis of Questionnaire results related to two dimensions: online communication and assessment.

    This chapter will address results of LE@D’s project “Teaching in Times of Emergency: Digital Transition,” which focused on the experience of rapid digital transition to an “emergency teaching,” a scenario quite different from distance education. Through a mixed methods approach, data was collected through an online questionnaire applied to students and videoconference interviews conducted with both higher education faculty and students. Participants in this research are students and faculty from eight Portuguese higher education institutions, four from universities (three public and one private) and four from polytechnic insti tutes (three public and one private), covering the regions of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, Alentejo and Algarve (Central and Southern Portugal). In this chapter, the authors present a preliminary analysis of the results obtained related to the psychological aspects experienced during this period, aiming at understanding the impact this shift has had on students’ cognitive adaptation and social and emotional processes.

    Publication . Martins, Elena Bettencourt; Loureiro, Ana
    Os múltiplos benefícios das tecnologias digitais para o desenvolvimento humano tornam a inclusão digital uma necessidade na sociedade contemporânea. Neste artigo apresentamos um estudo exploratório sobre “Inclusão Digital”, tendo como referência empírica a investigação sobre as competências digitais de adultos/as pouco qualificados/as e em situação de desemprego que frequentam ações de formação profissional de dupla certificação, tendo por base o reforço da literacia digital e das competências digitais, imprescindíveis ao exercício de uma cidadania mais ativa e participativa, que lhes permita estar incluídos socialmente. A investigação teve uma perspetiva metodológica qualitativa apoiada na análise documental, no questionário de diagnóstico e no focus group. Os resultados evidenciam que o uso efetivo das tecnologias digitais está aquém das suas potencialidades, reforçando a ideia de que a inclusão digital é mais do que a mera utilização destas ferramentas e realçando a importância da literacia digital para uma eficiente apropriação e mobilização das tecnologias digitais no quotidiano de forma autónoma e responsável
