  • Digital citizenship education in Europe
    Publication . Mesquita, Elza; Patrício, Maria Raquel; Freire-Ribeiro, Ilda; Pereira, Ana
    The European Education Area should include, among other things, increased cooperation on curriculum development to make recommendations to ensure that education systems promote the acquisition of all knowledge, skills and competences that are considered essential in today's world. We consider it pertinent to identify the characteristics of citizenship education aimed at the digital age in the national curricula of European countries, and to compare them with the official documents issued by the Ministry of Education in Portugal. The study aims to highlight the importance and actuality of the various literacies, based on human rights, and grounded in responsible digital citizenship practices. Therefore, it is integrated in the scope of an Education for Development and Global Citizenship, exploring national and European theoretical references. In the empirical study we resort, then, to a mixed research paradigm, in the form of multi-strategy research. In other words, we will use a multidimensional matrix that allows us to collect as much data as possible from the research context. The data collection will follow a documental analysis. We believe that the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data obtained in the research on the theoretical frameworks will provide us with the necessary support to outline a profile of competences aimed at the training of qualified citizens, endowed with competences referenced in various national and international studies on digital and citizen literacies.

  • Ambivalências de discursos: Uma análise simbólica ao conto “História da Baleia” de António Sérgio
    Publication . Mesquita, Elza; Pereira, Ana
    António Sérgio deixou-nos algumas obras de interesse temático que trespassaram os portais de um “infinito” temporal com origens na tradição oral. Das narrativas recolhidas pelo autor focamos a nossa reflexão na “História da Baleia”, pelo facto de nos termos envolvido na sua adaptação e ilustração. Trata-se de um conto tradicional recolhido por António Sérgio e compilado no livro com o título Na Terra e no Mar (1978). Neste texto refletimos sobre o simbolismo em torno do herói – personagem que através da coragem e vontade de fazer prevalecer a justiça e a verdade enfrenta um inimigo, procurando resolver toda uma série de conflitos – os bons são os vitoriosos. Esta vitória, neste conto, é conquistada por um marinheiro que é “arguto, astuto e resoluto”, sobre si próprio, sobre a maldade, sobre a adversidade e sobre um grande oponente (baleia).
