Doctoral education in the era of globalisation
The transformation of doctoral education
Digital proficiency
Digital competence is among the basic key competences for digital learning and employability. For this reason, its acquisition and development should be on the agenda of higher education institutions (HEIs) who wish to prepare their students to thrive in an ever faster evolving digital labour market. However, the existence of a valid instrument that can help HEIs measuring and further integrating digital competence into pedagogical and organisati…
Cross‐Lagged Relations Among Linguistic Skills in European Portuguese
Research has widely demonstrated the contribution of word reading, listening comprehension skills, and oral reading fluency to reading comprehension performance. However, the existence of reciprocal relations among these skills has been investigated less frequently. The authors examined the directionality of the relations among reading comprehension, listening comprehension, word reading, and oral reading fluency in Portuguese elementary school s…
Parents’ reports of lexical and grammatical aspects of toddlers’ language in European Portuguese
The results from a large-scale study on toddlers’ language acquisition in European Portuguese are presented. Toddlers’ lexical and grammatical competencies were assessed using the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventory: Words and Sentences. The results, based on 3012 reports completed by parents, indicate an increase in the lexical size and on five measures of grammatical development (production of regular morphology, irregular morph…
Lexical, morphological and syntactic development in toddlers between 16 and 30 months old
The main aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between the lexical size and the emergence of morphological and syntactic markers in toddlers between the ages of 16 and 30 months and to compare these results between Galician and European Portuguese. Parents of 3012 Portuguese toddlers and those of 1081 Galician toddlers completed the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventory: Words and Sentences. The results indicated t…
Compreensão de textos
Na literatura têm sido discutidos diversos fatores que podem influenciar a dificuldade das tarefas de compreensão de textos e, consequentemente, o desempenho dos sujeitos na avaliação. O objetivo deste estudo é perceber se a dificuldade das tarefas de avaliação da compreensão de textos varia em função da modalidade da tarefa de avaliação (oral versus escrita), do tipo de texto (narrativo versus informativo) e do tipo de compreensão avaliado pelas…
O ensino explícito da compreensão da leitura. Análise do impacto de um programa de intervenção
Neste artigo apresenta-se o programa Aprender a compreender torna mais fácil o saber, destinado a alunos do 3o e 4o anos de escolaridade, que tem como objetivo principal o desenvolvimento das competências de compreensão da leitura, de estratégias de leitura e de metacompreensão. O programa foi implementado com 1.142 alunos do 4o ano de escolaridade. Na avaliação dos resultados, recorreu-se a um design de grupo único com pré e pós-teste. Os result…
An application of the Rasch model to reading comprehension measurement
An effective reading comprehension measurement demands robust psychometric tools that allow teachers and researchers to evaluate the educational practices and track changes in students’ performance. In this study, we illustrate how Rasch model can be used to attend such demands and improve reading comprehension measurement. We discuss the construction of two reading comprehension tests: TRC-n, with narrative texts, and TRC-e, with expository text…
Crossing borders
Photomicrography has been subject of several studies over the years, mostly on a technical perspective. The artistic side of photomicrography is a promising topic of study, which has gathered important contributions for the connection between art and science. In contemporary times it is generally regarded as a form of artistic expression, alongside its role in science. Nonetheless, this subject would benefit from a comprehensive approach so as to…
Propriedades psicométricas da prova de reconhecimento de palavras
Este estudo tem por objetivo apresentar dados relativos à fidelidade e validade da Prova de Reconhecimento de Palavras (PRP), destinada a alunos dos 4 primeiros anos de escolaridade. A prova é constituída por 40 palavras regulares de 2 e 3 sílabas. Realizaram-se dois estudos. Um primeiro, com 328 alunos, e um segundo com 3.131. Os coeficientes de consistência interna foram elevados nos 4 anos (variando entre 0,96 e 0,98). A diferença na média de …
Visibilidade de temas sociais e fotografias nas capas de jornais regionais durante as eleições de 2006
This article proposes a discussion of the criteria of noticiability for the occupation of daily newspaper first pages of local and regional range in Paraná considering possible effects of the presence or absence of photographic images related to social subjects that gain space in the most important pages of newspapers. As the fieldwork data collection comprises the period of the 2006 electoral campaigns coverage, how this subject is addressed in …
