Non-teaching staff's perceptions of accessibility and inclusion in Portuguese higher education institutions
Os manifestos de resistência em discursos de professores de Educação Especial sobre a inclusão
Este trabalho se interessou em pensar a manifestação da resistência no discurso produzidos por professores de educação especial sobre a inclusão educacional, especialmente significado na relação com o outro, o professor de sala de aula regular. A educação especial passa a assumir um importante papel na promoção da inclusão e no atendimento aos alunos considerados público-alvo da educação especial. Instaura-se aí a necessidade de uma relação próxi…
As emoções do professor e a autoeficácia docente
O presente estudo teve por objetivo examinar o efeito das emoções alegria, amor, orgulho, raiva, exaustão, desesperança, nas seis dimensões da autoeficácia relacionadas a diferentes tarefas da docência (adaptação do ensino às necessidades individuais dos alunos, ensino, motivação dos discentes, manutenção da disciplina dos alunos, cooperação com os colegas e os pais dos discentes, e formas de lidar com as mudanças). Participaram do estudo 1263 pr…
Classroom social networks, students' peer‐related social experiences and sense of belonging
One main argument for inclusion refers to the social benefits that students with SEN might have from being in contact with typically developing classmates. Students' sense of belonging to the classroom is also a relevant dimension of inclusion, given its importance for positive emotional and social development and academic motivation. Yet, studies specifically focused on students with SEN show mixed results regarding their sense of belonging. Whi…
Estimating geographic access to healthcare facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa by Degree of Urbanisation
Measuring rates of coverage and spatial access to healthcare services is essential to inform policies for development. These rates tend to reflect the urban-rural divide, typically with urban areas experiencing higher accessibility than rural ones. Especially in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a region experiencing high disease burden amid fast urbanisation and population growth. However, such assessment has been hindered by a lack of updated and compa…
Understanding teachers’ mindset regarding differentiated instruction
One of the main challenges of the current school education system is responding appropriately to students’ diversity within the classroom. As an instructional approach that acknowledges students’ diversity, differentiated instruction has been increasingly recognised as an important means for inclusive education. Despite its recognised advantages, only a few teachers consistently implement it for various reasons. Considering the importance of diff…
A relação entre as emoções do professor e a autoeficácia docente
O objetivo deste estudo é compreender a relação entre as emoções discretas do professor vivenciados no contexto escolar e a autoeficácia docente. Para tal, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura. As buscas dos estudos foram realizadas nas bases de dados ERIC EBSCOhost, Scopus e Web of Science desde o ano 1980 até fevereiro de 2022. Foram incluídos artigos revisados por pares, publicados nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, que inv…
Schaeffer's Solfège, Percussion, Audio Descriptors
Pierre Schaeffer's typomorphology (1966) proposes seven criteria of musical perception for the identification and qualification of sound objects, which form the basis of his musical theory. This Solfège fits well into contexts where pitch is not the dominant dimension. Relying on similarities between the practice of reduced listening and the utilization of low-level audio descriptors, we present the first version of a real-time setup in which the…
Drawing as a Space for Social-Cognitive Interaction
Drawing is recognized as a powerful tool to learn science. Although current research has enriched our understanding of the potential of learning through drawing, scarce attention has been given to the social-cognitive interactions that occur when students jointly create drawings to understand and explain phenomena in science. This article is based on the distributed and embodied cognition theories and it adopted the notion of we-space, defined as…
Students' mechanistic reasoning in practice
Mechanistic reasoning is a powerful form of reasoning central to scientific explanations. Despite mechanistic reasoning being an important dimension of scientific practice and a central dimension of science curricula, students face difficulties in developing such type of reasoning. Many authors have been proposing tools for supporting its development; drawing is one such tool. Studies that purposefully explore how drawing leverages and supports s…
Land use efficiency of functional urban areas
The application of last-generation spatial data modelling, integrating Earth Observation, population, economic and other spatially explicit data, enables insights into the sustainability of the global urbanisation processes with unprecedented detail, consistency, and international comparability. In this study, the land use efficiency indicator, as developed in the Sustainable Development Goals, is assessed globally for the first time at the level…
Reasons for disliking a classmate
Correlates of rejection by the peer group
One argument for the inclusion of children with special education needs (SEN) is that they will benefit from the interactions and relationships with their typically developing peers. However, students with SEN tend to be more rejected than their non-SEN peers. Considering the negative consequences of peer rejection on socioemotional development and school adjustment, the current study aims to understand the behavioural correlates and specific cha…
Applying the Degree of Urbanisation to the globe
The Degree of Urbanisation is a new definition of cities, towns and semi-dense areas, and rural areas endorsed by the UN Statistical Commission. The urban population share according to the Degree of Urbanisation is similar to the one based on national definitions in the Americas, Europe and Oceania, but considerably higher in Africa and Asia. An empirical analysis and a comparison of concepts suggest that towns are likely to be classified as rura…
Student–teacher closeness and conflict in students with and without special educational needs
Teachers play a key role in creating effective conditions for students to succeed in school. The quality of student–teacher relationships is consistently associated with social, emotional, behavioural and academic adjustment, and this is even more relevant for students with special educational needs (SEN), considering these students’ emotional, social and learning vulnerabilities. This study aimed to examine the associations between students’ ext…
The spatial allocation of population
Population data represent an essential component in studies focusing on human–nature interrelationships, disaster risk assessment and environmental health. Several recent efforts have produced global- and continental-extent gridded population data which are becoming increasingly popular among various research communities. However, these data products, which are of very different characteristics and based on different modeling assumptions, have ne…
La importancia de los valores organizacionales en la Administración Pública
The major restructuring witnessed in recent years in the public sector seems to be the result of a breakdown in the consensus regarding the role of the State in contemporary societies. At the same time, governance paradigms have also undergone changes and the difference between the governance paradigm that characterizes current governance models and the rigid and hierarchical structures of the bureaucratic paradigm is now obvious. Organizational …
Analysing spatiotemporal patterns of tourism in Europe at high-resolution with conventional and big data sources
Available statistics on tourism from official European sources are limited in terms of both the spatial and temporal resolutions, curbing potential analyses and applications relevant for tourism management and policy. In this study, we produced a novel, complete and consistent dataset describing tourist density at high spatial resolution with monthly breakdown for the whole of the European Union. This is achieved thanks to the integration of data…
Valores familiares dos estudantes finalistas da Universidade do Algarve
Numa altura em que a família se encontra a sofrer grandes alterações, quer em termos da sua estrutura quer em termos da sua concepção, parece constituir matéria importante de estudo, a maneira como os jovens a concebem. Assim, vai-se apresentar, neste artigo, os valores familiares defendidos pelos estudantes finalistas, em 1995/1996, da Universidade do Algarve. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi um questionário constituído por 46 perguntas r…
Creating Inclusive Learning Environments
The Salamanca Statement (UNESCO, 1994) is a political document that defends principles of an inclusive education (Clark, Dyson, Millward, & Skidmore, 1997). According to it, every student has the right to develop according to his/her potentialities and to develop the competencies that will allow him/her to participate in society. To achieve this goal, the school system has the responsibility of offering a quality education to all its students, on…
Compreendendo a aprendizagem da linguagem científica na formação de professores de ciências
Após a contextualização da reforma curricular das ciências no ensino básico em Portugal, apresenta-se uma proposta de trabalho, no campo da Didática, para os professores de ciências aplicarem em sala de aula, que se pretende inovadora, investigação com base no planeamento - "design-based research (DBR)". Com a descrição desta abordagem pretende-se dar resposta a problemas que se colocam a professores e a investigadores, como seja a implementação …
Early Musical Impressions from Both Sides of the Loudspeaker
Ametaphoric image of the loudspeaker and its sides sums up the spatio-temporal ruptures that started shaping aural perception in the late 19th century: on one side, the listener; on the other, sound events conveyed by phonographic products, radio and various sound-recording devices. Diverse practices as well as samples of theoretical and aesthetic thinking from the early 20th century illustrate how new media have affected the musical imagination …
A relação da linguagem com os materials
Instead of the traditional and incomplete opposition between concrete and electronic sounds, the author proposes two focal points to analyze electroacoustic music: one is related to the discourse, and the other, to musical syntax. The discourse may vary between the extremes, characterized as aural and mimetic, depending on the degree of reference to events that occur in reality or are related to more abstract musical values. The syntax, in its tu…
