- Math4All : atreve-te na matemáticaPublication . Barbas, Maria Potes; Búzio, Ana; Durão, Conceição; Boryslav, JoãoAprender matemática é um direito básico de todas as pessoas, em especial de todas as crianças e jovens, e uma resposta a necessidades individuais e sociais. Segundo o Departamento de Educação Básica, a matemática “constitui um património cultural da humanidade e um modo de pensar, sendo a sua apropriação, um direito de todos”1. Todas as crianças e jovens devem desenvolver a sua capacidade de usar a matemática para analisar e resolver situações problemáticas, para raciocinar e comunicar, bem como a auto-confiança necessária para o fazer. O Math4All – Atreve-te na Matemática é um site desenvolvido com o principal objetivo de ajudar todas as pessoas, em especial crianças e jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 9 e os 13 anos, a aprender matemática de um modo significativo, através de actividades lúdicas e dinâmicas. A literacia matemática das/os alunas/os é determinada pelo modo como usam os conhecimentos, as capacidades e as atitudes na resolução de problemas. Assim, é necessário propor-lhes experiências diversificadas que permitam desenvolver as suas capacidades de resolução de problemas, de modo a poderem tirar partido da Matemática ao longo da vida. Este projeto aborda o tema Números e operações e respeita os objetivos gerais de aprendizagem, bem como as indicações metodológicas previstas no novo Programa de Matemática do Ensino Básico. O site Math4All – Atreve-te na Matemática pretende ser um desafio, e contribuir para a construção de uma Matemática com sentido. ATREVE-TE.
- Active ageing – Enhancing digital literacies in elderly citizensPublication . Loureiro, Ana; Barbas, Maria PotesBeing digital and information literate is crucial in nowadays society, although not every citizen has the necessary means and resources to achieve these skills, especially the elderly ones. Therefore it is necessary to develop ways to help them to enhance their digital and information competences. In this paper we will present an ongoing project that was designed and implemented with the goal to provide elderly citizens with the necessary skills of a networked society, contributing for an active ageing. The methods used were based on a set of hands on workshops delivered by a team of voluntary students and teacher, with the help of collaborators from a nursing home. The workshops were developed accordingly with the detected needs of a group of elderly citizens, based on the answers of an implemented questionnaire.
- Analysis of emerging technologies for improving social inclusion of people with disabilitiesPublication . Barbas, Maria Potes; Babic, J.; Car, Z.; Gace, I.; Lovrek, I.; Topolovac, I.; Vdovic, H.; Zilak, M.; Gourves, A.Technologies in general and their assistive capabilities in particular, play a significant role for people with disabilities and their social inclusion. It is expected that emerging technologies will contribute to assistive technologies by reducing or removing the constraints that characterize existing solutions, as well as opening up entirely new ones [1]–[6]. This report aims to explore such opportunities by investigating the potential of emerging technologies for the sake of improving social inclusion of people with disabilities. The presented research is carried out within the ERASMUS+ project entitled Innovative Solutions based on Emerging Technologies for Improving Social Inclusion of People with Disabilities (INNOSID). The INNOSID project is based on the 10-year-long operation of the ICT-AAC Competence network in Croatia1 whose members cooperate in education, research, development and innovation with the aim of developing an inclusive society. The ICT-AAC Competence network’s activities are expanded with this project through the internationalization and use of emerging technologies. The project’s consortium consists of six higher education institutions and one non-governmental organization from the domain of persons with disabilities from five European countries: Croatia, France, Hungary, Portugal and Spain. More about the INNOSID consortium partners can be found in the Appendix A of the report. The report, in whose activities all INNOSID partner countries participated, provides an analysis of emerging technologies for improving social inclusion of people with disabilities. The focus of this chapter is to introduce the topics of interest by explaining the key theoretical concepts from both technical and societal aspects. Keywords, such as people with disabilities, social inclusion and emerging technologies, are defined and introduced from a broader perspective in order to understand the connection between them. In addition, the end of this chapter will outline its significance for interested readers. As the reader of the report will be able to see, the report is designed to provide, in addition to text, numerous examples related to different statistics, infographics, various visual representations of the described, as well as examples of good practice and case studies, mostly related to partner countries. Purpose of that is to enable the reader to better understand the topics that are extremely important and should not be neglected, especially because they concern each person and because each of us can play an important role in change for the better.

- Aprendizagem híbrida: b-learning - da sala de aula ao ciberespaçoPublication . Loureiro, Ana; Barbas, Maria PotesO presente artigo, Aprendizagem híbrida: b-Learning – da sala de aula ao ciberespaço, pretende apresentar os resultados de uma investigação que teve como finalidade a criação e a avaliação do impacto de um módulo on-line, como complemento às aprendizagens em regime presencial, no desenvolvimento e aquisição de competências, transversais e específicas, em alunos do primeiro ano do ensino superior politécnico, no domínio das tecnologias da informação e comunicação, mais especificamente no módulo que dizia respeito à linguagem HTML. Não foi nossa intenção, neste estudo, explorar, de forma aprofundada, conceitos tecnológicos inerentes ao e- Learning, mas antes perceber de que forma este paradigma de ensino-aprendizagem poderá beneficiar os alunos na aquisição e aperfeiçoamento de determinadas competências. - The main objective of the present study, Hybrid Learning: b-learning – from the classroom to cyberspace, was to create and evaluate the impact of an on-line training module as a complement to traditional lectures. This module contributed to the development and acquisition of specific and transversal competences in Information and Communication Technologies. We intend to verify the improvement in HTML language, on the competence level, of those students who attend the first year, second semester subject multimedia of a degree in the area of cultural animation lectured at a Superior School of Education. It was not our intention, in this study, to explore inherent technological concepts to e-Learning, but to recognize how this paradigm of teach-learning will be able to benefit students in the acquisition and development of determined skills.
- UPTAKE ICT – MOOC on digital employabiltyPublication . Matos, Pedro; Barbas, Maria Potes; de Barros Dias, Isabel Maria; Falé, IsabelUptake_ICT2life-cycle: digital literacy and inclusion to learners with disadvantaged background" is an Erasmus+ project that aims at enhancing digital literacy among adults with disadvantaged backgrounds. One of the project’s outputs is a MOOC on Digital Employability. This paper presents and reflects upon this product, analysing data collected from the students that followed the course as pilot-group. The experience has proved very positive since students recognized the technical quality of the MOOC, as well as the interest, relevance and utility of its contents. A bridge between academia and the work market was established and the students’ awareness of several career opportunities was raised. These various aspects seem to recommend the replication of this MOOC as well as the making of similar ones. The adopted methodology that the trainers involved in this action decided to use aimed at reaching two major target groups: higher education students and other participants that were enrolled in parallel training sessions. Trainees from the Higher School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Santarem had two sorts of profile, according to their study area, more specifically, communication and multimedia or plastic arts and multimedia. So, the idea underlying the chosen strategy was to diversify the target population of the MOOC, and to establish a bridge between participants who had more competencies in the field of ICTs (the multimedia class), and those who has lesser skills in this field (the art class). This diversity implied that the achieved results and metrics, both analytical data and statistic results concerning the used platform and the course’s content, included answers given by students with different learning profiles. The MOOC focused on the importance of ICT for employability. It presented information and suggestions on three main areas, Employability, Freelancing and Entrepreneurship. Each module of the course had several lessons since the educational contents were structured into specific sections, each one addressing a key subject and providing sets of examples that helped students to better understand the focused issues. The MOOC also includes video presentations with real life examples of successful entrepreneurs and freelancers, telling about their experiences and giving advice on how to thrive in the current job market. This is an innovative aspect that means both an approach between business and education, as well as to bring students closer to the objective requirements of working life outside schools.
- Handbook Escape Room Workflows of InnovationPublication . Barbas, Maria Potes; Falé, Isabel; José, Mário; Casimiro, Elsa; Domingos, JoãoA construção de um Escape Room na Escola Superior de Edução (ESE) do Instituto Politécnico de Santarém (IPSantarém) tem a sua origem e enquadramento num Curso, não conferente de grau, em “Literacia Digital para o Mercado de Trabalho” para jovens com Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental (DID) com grau de incapacidade igual ou superior a 60%.
- NEETin with ICTPublication . Barbas, Maria Potes; Branco, Paulo; Loureiro, Ana; Matos, PedroScience and Technology Advisory Council (STAC) outlines that 49% of EU citizens identified “job creation” and 33% identified “education and skills” as the top priorities for science and technology innovation over the next fifteen years. Both documents justify the needs in Europe for the ICT field especially for the NEET (not in education, employment or training) citizens. On the other hand, Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs (GC4DJ) in Europe identifies: the training and matching digital jobs; certification; innovative learning and teaching; mobility; awareness raising; increasing effectiveness of education; increasing equity and producing positive impact in the economy, as a priority for European countries. NEETin is a project directed to NEET citizens, to be developed by Higher Education Institutions, VET providers and Enterprises in order to help to overcome a social European dimension through lifelong learning. By creating a Joint Vocational Education Training in Digital Competences in a collaboration between VET providers and the Enterprises, widening the access to higher education, in an innovative student-centred learning model to apply in a European level, we aim to contribute to improve the quality of Education. Through this certified JVET, NEET citizens will develop their digital skills and the success of employability of these learners will be enhanced.
- Uma experiência em ensino superior: a unidade curricular de Relações Laborais antes e durante a pandemia COVID-19Publication . Barbas, Maria Potes; Matos, PedroO atual paradigma educativo veio alterar-se. A forma como o ensino é facultado aos estudantes teve a sua mudança e adaptação. Devido ao fenómeno pandémico, COVID-19, as instituições de ensino tiveram de tomar as devidas estratégias e medidas. Estas, que fossem capazes de garantir a segurança dos seus estudantes, assim como, de assegurar a continuidade de um ensino baseado na qualidade e excelência. Deste modo, foram aplicadas estratégias de ensino a distância e aprendizagem online, garantindo um acesso equitativo, acessível e intuitivo a todos os estudantes, de modo a que pudessem continuar os seus estudos e respetiva participação nas diferentes unidades curriculares. Assim, este artigo foca um estudo de natureza qualitativa, observacional e permeável a vários agentes (estudantes, professores, tutores, pais, etc.), sobre a participação de estudantes com dificuldades intelectuais, do curso Literacia Digital para o Mercado de Trabalho, na unidade curricular de Relações Laborais.
