- Estudo da coleção osteológica dos museus de geociências do Instituto Superior Técnico : definição de limites, desafios e estratégiasPublication . In-Uba, Elisa Manuel; Alves, Alice Nogueira; Pereira, Manuel Francisco CostaThis master's thesis aims to explore university scientific collections, analyzing osteology collections in national museological institutions. To achieve this goal, it was considered relevant to explore how museums view documentation and inventory processes, as well as their evolution over time, and the problems inherent in the lack of these procedures. In this context, we intend to reflect on the value and the historical, museological, scientific, and social roles of these collections, with emphasis on the Geosciences, as fundamental references for both the scientific community and society. Since the specimens that integrate scientific collections are part of authentic repositories of bio/geodiversity, an attempt is made to understand what value is attributed to them when there is no associated documentation capable of proving their relevance from a scientific point of view. Based on this premise, we intend to reflect on the relevance of inventory and documentation processes applied to the museum context, bringing as an example some of the Portuguese reference institutions that house natural history and science collections. For this purpose, brief field research was carried out, where the practices of documentation and preservation of osteological material adopted in three institutions were analyzed: the National Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon, the Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Porto and the Museum of Science of the University of Coimbra. Next, a case study is carried out with the purpose of proposing the elaboration of an inventory of a set of skulls belonging to the Museu de Geociências do Instituto Superior Técnico - Museu Décio Thadeu, following the current practices in this type of osteological material collections. Given its pedagogical and scientific functions and the need to safeguard the heritage that makes up the collection of this museum, which illustrates the history and memory of the institution itself, a plan of best practices and appropriate procedures for its preservation is also integrated here
- Educação midiática : potenciais fatores de inclusão social em projetos em Portugal e no BrasilPublication . Cortés, Luísa Desiderio; Frota, Silvia ValencichCom o processo de midiatização que se aprofundou na década de 2010, a educação midiática ganhou destaque no debate público como forma de disseminação da autonomia e da prática cidadã. A partir da identificação de grupos sociais excluídos de projetos de educação midiática, este estudo busca investigar potenciais fatores de inclusão em dois projetos na área e voltados ao público escolarizado: Público na Escola (PnE) e Educamídia, respectivamente desenvolvidos nos contextos português e brasileiro. Para isso, foi utilizada uma metodologia baseada no conceito de literacia digital e midiática estabelecido por Hobbs (2010, p. 19). Os pontos de inclusão encontrados foram organizados em três aspectos: material, tecnológico e simbólico. A partir dos pontos de contato entre essas três esferas e o conceito de Hobbs, foi realizada uma análise quantitativa e qualitativa. Ela permitiu determinar uma maior inclinação do PnE para a autoexpressão e o diálogo dos educandos com a comunidade, fatores que podem funcionar como pontos de inclusão dos estudantes na sociedade a partir da conexão dos estudantes com as questões proeminentes no seu entorno. No âmbito do Educamídia, foi identificado um maior potencial de difusão dos planos de aula e a utilização de mídias disparadoras que estejam em consonância com a realidade de diferentes grupos sociais. Essas características permitem que os planos de aula atinjam territórios para os quais não foram desenvolvidos originalmente e, assim, alcancem outros grupos populacionais.
- Entrepreneurship Education pedagogical approaches in higher EducationPublication . Rodrigues, Ana LuísaEntrepreneurship education, as an emerging scientific field, has undergone significant evolution at the conceptual and praxis levels. The concept of entrepreneurship was considered from a broad perspective as the capacity to act upon opportunities and ideas, thereby creating social, cultural, or financial value in diverse contexts. The study and cultivation of this competence are highly relevant to enhancing employability and equipping young people with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary within an entrepreneurial culture for the exercise of active citizenship. This study aims to consolidate the concept and analyse the pedagogical approaches in entrepreneurship education, particularly focusing on experiential learning. It also explores the most frequently used instructional methods in higher education programmes. The research is based on a comprehensive literature review, complemented by a case study of the entrepreneurship education programme implemented at the University of Lisbon, in Portugal, enriched by data collected from one of its curricular units. Experiential learning emerges as a valid approach in entrepreneurship teaching, especially when teachers effectively combine practical experience with theory while learners assume the shared responsibility of learning from experience. As the most recommended instructional methods, one can point to collaborative pedagogical models, namely problem-based learning, project-based learning, peer assessment, design thinking, formative feedback, service learning, and active methodologies that integrate digital technologies.
