- Adolescentes (des)conectados/as e redes sociaisPublication . Nunes, Maria Clarisse Alexandrino; Prada, Ana Raquel Russo; Gonçalves, Bruno F.; Prada, Ana Raquel RussoO estudo parte da crescente relevância do digital no quotidiano juvenil e da preocupação com os efeitos da utilização intensiva das redes sociais na saúde mental e no equilíbrio emocional dos adolescentes. A literatura recente evidencia associações entre o uso excessivo das redes sociais e indicadores de ansiedade, depressão e comportamentos de dependência, mas ainda são escassos os estudos que exploram o impacto académico, social e emocional desse uso em adolescentes portugueses. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto académico, social e emocional do uso das redes sociais em adolescentes com idades entre os 12 e os 17 anos, a frequentar escolas públicas e privadas do distrito de Bragança. De natureza quantitativa, descritiva e correlacional, a pesquisa recorre a um inquérito por questionário online, validado por especialistas e aplicado presencialmente nas escolas. Os dados serão analisados com recurso ao software SPSS, através de estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais. O estudo cumpre integralmente os princípios éticos e legais de proteção de dados. Pretende-se que os resultados contribuam para a compreensão dos padrões de uso das redes sociais entre adolescentes e para a definição de estratégias educativas promotoras de bem-estar digital e sucesso académico.
- Al in Higher Education: Disruptive Force or Critical AllyPublication . Chumbo, Isabel; Silva, Elisabete MendesThe rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has had a profound impact on education, particularly within higher education. The recent appearance of DeepSeek has caused a stir among North American universities, with the faculty expressing concerns about its indiscriminate use in various fields of study. Media outlets characterised this situation as awake up call (BBC, 2025; Forbes, 2025). While AI presents both challenges and opportunities for faculty and students alike, its application requires a critical approach that ensures ethical considerations are upheld and academic integrity preserved. These tools have had a significant impact in the world of translation (Pym & Hao, 2024), changing market expectations and leading to a growing reliance on post-editing tasks for translators. Given these developments, it is imperative to address the AI’s role in translator training to bridge the gap between academic instruction and industry requirements. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate this impact through the assessment of students’ perceptions. Specifically, it explores how students integrate AI into their learning processes and translation practice, assessing whether they engage with these tools critically or rely on them as substitutes for their own cognitive efforts. The research is based on a survey conducted among master's students in Translation in northern Portugal. The findings provide insights into the role of AI in this academic context, contributing to the broader discourse on AI's implications for translator training and professional practice.
- Artificial intelligence in teacher training: benefits, challenges and toolsPublication . Gonçalves, Bruno F.The use of artificial intelligence has emerged as an important tool for teacher training, providing new approaches to the development of pedagogical skills, classroom management, and the personalization of teaching. This research aims to identify the most relevant AI tools for teacher training and to examine the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into teacher training, with a focus on the advantages of personalizing teaching and the difficulties associated with adopting new technologies in the educational context. The methodology used is a literature review, in which studies, scientific articles, and reports on the application of AI in teacher training are analyzed to identify the technological tools available for teaching. The results suggest that AI has enormous potential to transform teacher training, offering tools that make it possible to personalize the training process, adapting it to teachers' needs and learning styles. However, the implementation of these tools faces challenges such as the need for ongoing teacher training, resistance to adopting new technologies, and the lack of technological infrastructure in some educational institutions.
- Computatio Litterarum Limitis Project: exploring AI’s endless possibilities in preserving and disseminating ancient textsPublication . Silva, Elisabete Mendes; Chumbo, IsabelWith around 7500 printed volumes and rare manuscripts preserved in local libraries and archives, Bragança, an inland city in Portugal next to Spain, plays a key role in the region’s cultural identity, especially given its historical border significance. Studying and using AI to explore and promote Bragança’s bibliographic collections represents a significant cultural initiative, strengthening its heritage value. The project CompLiTT – Computatio Litterarum limitis: Calculations of literary culture on the border, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology and running from November 2024 until April 2026, intends to use technology to provide greater access to these literary treasures, reducing barriers and liaising with foreign cultures. The project aims to preserve and analyse historical texts while capitalising on AI to improve accessibility. AI software will enable intelligent reading, labelling, thematic analysis, and generating summaries of the books. It also seeks to update Bragança’s multilingual catalogue and highlight rare works in seven languages, benefiting both researchers and the public. The AI-driven approach will help connect and contextualise these texts, guaranteeing broader dissemination of Bragança’s literary heritage while making book knowledge more democratic and accessible. The work methodology followed is based on meta-analysis and meta-synthesis, grounded on the humanistic study, through observation, documentation and research using the library method, and, finally, through advanced computer resources, which will allow for the organisation and execution of the project. Therefore, we aim to introduce a wider international audience to the project at this conference, showcasing its literary and technological innovations and benefits. At the same time, by disseminating CompLiTT, we seek to identify similar cases in other European border regions, enabling us to expand and adapt our work to create new contexts.
- Enhancing language learning and critical thinking through gamification. Hands-on experience in higher educationPublication . Silva, Elisabete MendesEven though the use of games in learning is not new, the rise of digital technologies has boosted gamification and game-based learning methodology. Over the last decade, many studies have been conducted in higher education, making this methodology innovative and more highly considered (Carvalho & Coelho, 2022, Prathyusha, 2020, Zainuddin et al, 2020). Gamification has proven to facilitate the learning-teaching process, allowing learners to communicate more effectively in a collaborative environment and, at the same time, to be creative. Critical thinking completes this set of the 4 Cs of 21st-century skills and can be enhanced through gamification. This presentation underlies two main objectives. First, it aims to introduce the “Content Game”, a card game designed to help students grasp and learn the relational structure of knowledge through game-based learning. Grounded in active learning principles, the game encourages independent learning, conceptual connections, and critical thinking. It also aids students in researching and organising specific content effectively. Secondly, we shall demonstrate through hands-on experience the application of this methodology and the results obtained. The experience involved 37 students divided into two classes: 22 students attending the English 5 class, proficient level, of the BA degree in Languages for International Relations and another 15 students attending the English Culture III class of the BA degree in Foreign languages: English and Spanish. English 5 students were asked to focus on proficiency vocabulary whereas English Culture students had to research 17th and 18th-century Britain topics dealt with the previous year. Students supported their research using online resources. The study assessed the students' engagement and understanding of the subject matter. Overall, students enjoyed working in groups, exploring content independently, with the lecturer as a moderator. Most importantly, students had fun while improving their English language and culture skills.
- Fostering Reading in English to Young Learners through an Interactive and Phonics-based ApproachPublication . Carmen LucasThe milestones on first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition have fascinated researchers and practitioners for decades. However, the findings of the most updated research (Mourão e Lourenço, 2015; Lucas, Rei and Abuquerque, 2021; Yum et al.,n2021) do not always and instantly reflect on the classroom, specifically in Teaching English to Young Learners in Portuguese primary schools. Within this, it is worth highlighting, as per previous studies, the lack of uniformity in terms of sillabi design and implementation in the classroom. Moreover, more continuous professional development opportunities would be welcome. This paper is set out to gather a more traditional phonics-based approach with the use of innovative interactive whiteboards and classic storybooks to help young learners of English learning how to read and write in English. This study has also as an aim to contribute to research-informed teaching, based in actual findings from the classroom, through and after the implementation of an action-research programme for nurturing the seeds in learning how to read in English. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of read-aloud storybooks, associated with the use of interactive whiteboards, further anchored in a phonics-based approach to teach reading and writing to Young Learners of English. Participants were 80 (n=80) native Portuguese children, attending the second year of primary school, learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes, aged 7 years old. The findings suggest that through the use of storybooks, followed by watching the respective videos, together with follow-up phonics activities are effective strategies which Teachers of English to Young Learners can certainly use to “nurture the seeds” for English language learning, considering that they have resulted in improved decoding skills, higher engagement levels in the classroom, stronger phonemic awareness and an enhanced writing ability.
- The Inheritors by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford: unravelling Victorian society through the lens of the PressPublication . Silva, Elisabete MendesThe Inheritors: an extravagant story (1901), written collaboratively by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, delves into the intricate nuances of Victorian society, exploring the interplay between wealth, power and morality, by means of a quasi-science fiction (or merely “extravagant”) plot. Set against the backdrop of late 19th century London, the novel examines Victorian Society where wealth disparity, unrestrained capitalism, and relentless industry shape evolving socio-economic landscapes. The novel explores the personal struggles of the main characters, Duc the Mersch – the philanthropist, and financier of the state foundation project in Greenland; Gurnard – the inscrutable, “cynically immoral politician”, Chancellor of the Exchequer and a Dimensionist –; Churchill – the Foreign Minister –; Fox, the editor of the newspaper the Hour; the morally conflicted artist/journalist, Arthur Granger Eschingan; and his so-called sister, also a Dimensionist, in addition to the broader societal challenges they face. By exploring the intertwined lives of these characters, the authors offer a critique of the decadent moral Victorian society through the lens of the Hour, a fictional representation of the Victorian Newspaper industry, created by the Duc de Mersch “to pat the Government’s back; influence public opinion”. Through Arthur’s journalistic pursuits and ethical dilemmas, in the attempt of aspiring to rise in society, but illusively succumbing to sentimental urging, the work reflects on the fine line between objective reporting and sensationalism, resonating with the challenges faced by journalists during that time. This paper aims to highlight some insights offered by the novel, namely class distinctions, imperialism, and the clash between tradition and progress, as well as exploring the power of the press in political decision-making, entwining the fictional representation of the Hour of the Victorian Newspaper industry with the press of that time.
- Integração da inteligência artificial nas associações juvenis no ensino superiorPublication . Afonso, Vera Sofia Carvalho; Ribeiro, Leonel Davide Pereira; Gonçalves, Bruno F.A Inteligência Artificial (IA) tem se tornado como um elemento revolucionário em várias áreas, incluindo o ambiente académico e as associações relacionadas. As associações de jovens no ensino superior, especialmente as tunas, representam espaços vibrantes que misturam tradição com inovação, favorecendo a interação social, o crescimento artístico e a conservação de tradições culturais. Estas organizações enfrentam o desafio contínuo de harmonizar as práticas tradicionais com a adaptação às novas exigências tecnológicas e de administração. A introdução de recursos de IA, que podem agilizar processos administrativos, enriquecer a produção musical e aperfeiçoar a comunicação interna e externa, é uma oportunidade estratégica para revitalizar e aumentar a eficácia dessas entidades. Esta pesquisa analisa a RaussTuna, Tuna Mista de Bragança, do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (Portugal), como um estudo de caso para explorar os efeitos, dificuldades e possibilidades da utilização da IA numa associação rica em cultura, formada por estudantes universitários. O objetivo central é avaliar de que forma as ferramentas de IA podem ser inseridas nas atividades da Tuna para otimizar os processos organizacionais, enriquecer a produção musical e reforçar a interação com a comunidade interna. A investigação adota uma abordagem qualitativa com métodos mistos, incluindo entrevistas semiestruturadas informais com membros da RaussTuna para captar percepções e identificar potenciais aplicações da IA, além de observação participante nas atividades diárias da Tuna, como ensaios, eventos e reuniões, e em outras ocasiões onde recursos específicos de IA foram utilizados, como chatbots para redação e correção de textos na parte administrativa e software de IA destinado à criação de arranjos musicais e design gráfico. Os resultados iniciais sugerem que a adoção da IA pode proporcionar ganhos em eficiência, como na automação de tarefas administrativas (Chat GPT, CHAT PDF), e na melhoria da qualidade musical (Aiva e Amper Music). Entretanto, surgem desafios, como a resistência cultural às inovações tecnológicas, à necessidade de formação tecnológica dos membros e o risco de possível de perda da identidade e dos valores característicos da Tuna. Conclui-se que, se utilizada de forma estratégica e contextualizada, a IA tem o potencial de converter associações juvenis em entidades mais ágeis, inovadoras e eficientes, preservando ao mesmo tempo os valores culturais que estão na raiz dessas organizações, atuando como um elo entre tradição e modernidade no ambiente do ensino superior.
- A inteligência artificial na criação musical: impactos na criatividade e no processo de produçãoPublication . Afonso, Vera Sofia Carvalho; Carvalho, Vasco Rafael da Costa; Gonçalves, Bruno F.A Inteligência Artificial (IA) tem vindo a ganhar destaque em várias áreas, incluindo a música, onde se apresenta como uma ferramenta inovadora para a criação e produção de temas musicais. Esta pesquisa foca-se na utilização da IA na criação musical, investigando os seus impactos tanto na criatividade quanto no processo de produção, com a RaussTuna, Tuna Mista de Bragança do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (Portugal), como estudo de caso. O estudo visa compreender como a IA pode ser integrada no processo criativo da Tuna, abordando a composição, a criação de arranjos e o trabalho colaborativo entre os membros. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas aos membros da Tuna, observação das suas atividades musicais e experimentação com ferramentas de IA, como softwares para a criação de arranjos e composição musical. Através desta abordagem, procurou-se avaliar de que forma a IA pode influenciar tanto a criatividade individual quanto a coletiva, e como pode afetar a produção musical na Tuna. Os resultados preliminares indicam que a IA pode ter um impacto significativo na criatividade dos membros. Por um lado, as ferramentas de IA foram vistas como uma forma de ampliar o potencial criativo, oferecendo novas abordagens para a composição, permitindo a criação de melodias e harmonias que talvez não surgissem de forma tão espontânea através dos métodos tradicionais. A IA ajudou na personalização de arranjos e na criação de novas ideias musicais, enriquecendo o processo criativo da Tuna. No entanto, surgiram também preocupações relacionadas com a originalidade da música criada por IA, com alguns membros a expressarem receio de que a utilização excessiva desta tecnologia pudesse comprometer a ligação emocional que caracterizam a produção musical da Tuna. No que respeita ao processo de produção, a IA demonstrou ter um impacto positivo ao otimizar a criação de arranjos e simplificar certos aspetos da produção musical. Estas ferramentas permitiram aumentar a eficiência e acelerar o tempo de produção, algo crucial no contexto de uma Tuna que frequentemente trabalha sob limitações de tempo. Apesar de alguns desafios relacionados com o uso da IA, os membros da Tuna reconheceram que, quando aplicada de forma equilibrada e estratégica, a IA pode ser um contributo para a criatividade musical. O estudo conclui que a integração da IA nas práticas tunae pode enriquecer a produção musical, trazendo novas possibilidades criativas e melhorando a eficiência na produção, sem comprometer a identidade cultural e artística da Tuna.
