Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes AlexandreKey challenges of e-learning and of virtual innovations cater to personal and social diverse needs and providing holistic and community learning experiences. Considering opportunities, e learning feature is helpful, support enabling the implementation of technology-based. The study of the feeling of community is also relevant to assess the development of populations, in particular individuals and groups that are in a situation of psychological and social vulnerability, including situations of response to a pandemic crisis (Muller, Goh, Lim & Gao 2021; Sanchez-Vidal 2007). In this exploratory quantitative research through a questionnaire survey SIRF Likert Scale (Galinha 2021) addressed to a sample of 420 individuals, the main goal is to get to know the educative institutions as a positive organizations. The secondary goals were considered: i) to characterize the participants in the sociodemographic component ii) to know the importance assigned to e-learning and virtual innovations, iii) to know the social representations perceived by participants in this context and iv) to assess the feeling of learning community. The results show that: i) the majority of participants are female (67%), aged between 25-49 years, married (65%), with a high level of education (47%). There is a moderate positive correlation (ρ=0.62) and statistically significant (p-value=0) between the e-learning and virtual innovations and the level of education of high level of education. ii) As for the importance assigned, the data point to: socializing and learning. iii) The subjects said that the crisis was difficult to overcome emotionally. iv) Both genres equitably expressed attachment to their institutions in terms of their sense of belonging to communities of learning practices. The study data are relevant from the perspective of Martin Seligman's positive organizations (Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson 2005; Vala & Monteiro 2013; Marujo & Neto 2019; Galinha 2020), Freire (1996) and Sgoti and Santos (2021).
- O impacto do cuidar na qualidade de vida – percepções dos cuidadores familiaresPublication . Santos, Ana Catarina; Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes Alexandre; Cunha, BrunoA pesquisa realizada em Portugal na região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo tendo por base a perceção dos cuidadores familiares (CF) sobre a sua saúde englobou 30 CF de indivíduos adultos com deficiência ou incapacidade intelectual. Como instrumentos de recolha de dados foram utilizados a Ficha de Dados Sociodemográficos e de Prestação de Cuidados, a Escala de Qualidade de Vida WHOQOL-Bref e a Escala de Desgaste do Cuidador. Como resultados, esta pesquisa revela que os domínios do WHOQOL-Bref não se encontram significativamente afetados. Verificou-se também que existe uma associação negativa entre o desgaste objetivo e subjetivo e a QV dos CF. Já a escala de crescimento pessoal relaciona-se de forma negativa com a QV. Como conclusão pode inferir-se que os resultados sublinham uma baixa perceção de QV dos CF, e também a importância de intervenções específicas ao nível da saúde junto desta população, que tenha como objetivo a promoção do seu bem-estar e QV.

- Influence of the covid-19 period on competences in higher educationPublication . Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes Alexandre; São João, RicardoWithin this pandemic associated with Covid-19, psychological health occupies a prominent place as a result of a situation of forced isolation. Impacts can lead to an increase in mental health disorders as well as a set of adaptive reactions inherent to the recovery. Cooperation is conceived as the ability to jointly operationalize knowledge, attitudes and skills with a view to achieving a common purpose; and assertiveness is conceived as a bilateral behavior that emphasizes the importance of considering the desires, thoughts and feelings of both the sender and the recipient of the assertive message, predictive of academic success. In this line, the main objective of this communication is to present the results of the application of the Global Cooperation Assessment Scale (EAGC) and the findings levels of the Global Assertiveness Assessment Scale (EAGA). The study used a non-probabilistic sample for convenience of 101 Portuguese higher education students. EAGC and EAGA are a self-registration closed-ended Likert type 5 points, closed-response scales that allows assessing the degree of competence in respondents' cooperation and assertiveness. Both Scales were administered online in spring semester 2019/2020, with the link to the questionnaire being made available to students the computer platform ensuring the response of a single survey per respondent whose participation in the study was voluntary. The treatment of the information, as well as its statistical analysis, was supported by the R software (R Core Team, 2019), having been assured the confidentiality and anonymity of the respondents. Sociodemographic variables were also used, which seemed promising in contextualizing, interpreting, and discussing the results. The value of the sample mean obtained at EAGC=35 (± 6.5), thus revealing a high capacity for cooperation and in the EAGA=31 (± 5.53), thus revealing a high assertive competence who attend higher education.
- Measuring levels of cooperation and assertiveness in the e-learning system during a pandemic crisisPublication . Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes Alexandre; São João, RicardoThis is a quantitative, cross-sectional study involving higher education students in two Portuguese polytechnic institutes. The methodological guidelines provided by Jardim and Pereira (2006) were used in the overall assessment of assertiveness (EAGA Scale) and cooperation in the academic community (EAGC Scale). Both scales are assessed on a five-point Likert scale consisting of 8 and 9 items, respectively. A non-probabilistic sampling method was used. The median value obtained in the Global Evaluation Scale of Cooperation was 35 (IQR=7.5) revealing a high cooperation capacity in the surveyed students. On the other hand, on the Global Assessment Scale of Assertiveness the median was 32 (IQR=7), which translates into a high ability in assertiveness. Additionally, we tried to identify if there was any relationship between the results obtained in both scales through the Spearman correlation coefficient (rs ). It was verified that there is a weak positive relation (rs=0.13) without statistical significance (p-value=0.19) These scales can be used as a complementary tool in distance learning so that teachers can outline teamwork strategies while maintaining the levels of cooperation and assertiveness in their students with a view to their school success.

N=30 aged 20-57. Instruments: Sociodemographic and Care Rendering Data Sheet, WHOQOL-Bref QoL Scale, and Caregiver's Scale of Attrition. As results this study reveals that the WHOQOL-Bref domains are not significantly affected. It was also verified that there is a negative association between the objective and subjective burnout and the QoL of the Family Caregivers.
