- Rethinking teacher training from an inclusive and community dialogical perspectivePublication . Morgado, Elsa; Rodrigues, João Bartolomeu; Silva, Levi LeonidoThis quantitative survey using a structured questionnaire with closed questions and a sample of 340 participants from 20 courses (bachelor's and master's degrees) at public higher education institutions in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region of the Portuguese university (University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro) and polytechnic (Polytechnic Institute of Bragança) subsystem aims to list a group of proposals for reflection and future implementation that can fill or mitigate gaps and weaknesses identified in the disciplines of the curricula related to internships. The analysis of the data reveals indicators indicating the need for a (formal and conceptual) rethinking of inclusive intervention in the context of supervision in the field of teacher training. These indicators include problems with operating in a multifaceted educational setting, enhancing an interdisciplinary, integrated and inclusive approach, rearranging curriculum and reconsidering the functional profiles and competencies of teaching staff. Therefore, the construction of a professional culture that favors an integrative and inclusive approach through the assumption of a broad profile of professional competence capable of training the teacher in a multidimensional educational context is crucial. We evaluate the necessity of encouraging research of this type involving additional factors, populations and samples in order to enable the extrapolation of data and findings to a national level providing significance and technological foundations for decisions made within the context of public education policy.
- The interdisciplinary method of musical literacy, education and artistic sensibilization: Objectives, structure and evaluationPublication . Silva, Levi Leonido; Cardoso, Mário; Morgado, ElsaThe Interdisciplinary Method of Musical Literacy, Education and Artistic Awareness (MILMESA) aims to provide a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to education, integrating four artistic expressions (theatre, music, visual arts and physical/motor expression) essential for the development of skills such as creativity, expression and improvisation in a school context. The method aims to prepare adults who are in training for future practices aimed at children, young people or adults. MILMESA integrates 129 activities, classified by degree of difficulty, to improve personal and artistic skills, foster innovation and creativity, improve interaction and sociability, promote concentration and active listening, and improve rhythm, repetition, movement skills, expression and improvisation. A non-experimental methodology was chosen in which post facto questionnaire interviews were applied to 350 training participants. This method is a valuable tool for those looking to expand their artistic knowledge, as well as preparing them to educate and raise awareness among future generations. They also demonstrate the development of interdisciplinary artistic skills and practices in an educational context, the integral development of the individual, the connection and interaction between the arts and other areas of knowledge, and the improvement of skills in individuals who are training for future roles as teachers or artists.
- Oficinas de viver: desenvolvimento do potencial criativo: um estudo artístico no ensino superiorPublication . Viana, Rebeca; Bezerra, Sefisa; Morgado, Elsa; Silva, Levi Leonido; Cardoso, MárioThe research of creativity in the educational context has been mostly carried out with teachers and students in elementary/secondary teaching, and there is a lack of research in higher education. This observation, together with the need for a deeper understanding of the most exciting characteristics of the human being, represents the purpose of this empirical work, developed by students of the Vale do Acaraú State University (Sobral, Ceará, Brazil) Of Living - Development of Creative Potential. A qualitative, collaborative, participatory and multidirectional methodological strategy was defined, involving a total number of participants (n = 30) divided into two groups: the first group (G1) is formed by students = 12) of the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation (PIIC) / UVA; The second group (G2) consists of university students (n = 18), belonging to any course or year. Data collection instruments include participant observation, questionnaire, field diary and group exercise. For the lex-ographic/multivariate analysis and treatment was used IRAMUTEQ (Interface of Multidimensional Analyzes of Textes et de Questionnaires), and the words were grouped graphically according to their frequency in the text used. From the analysis and cross-checking of the data, the following indicators were produced: (1) dominance of the terms creation, innovation, solutions of problems and transformation as fundamental elements of the concept of creativity; (2) failure to understand creativity as a human potential that can be developed and influenced by the environment. The exchange and discussion of creative experiences/experiences assumes, on the one hand, a fundamental role in the construction of a broad vision of the concept of creativity among the university population, and on the other, it is a vehicle of innovation in the field of research, teaching and extension the community.
- Technology-Mediated Education: impact of AI on the main distance learning modalitiesPublication . Morgado, Elsa; Silva, Leonido Levi; Pereira, Antonino; Gouveia, Luís BorgesArtificial Intelligence (AI) and distance learning (EaD) have profoundly transformed education, redefining teaching methodologies and learning dynamics. When integrated into educational environments, these technologies facilitate equitable access to knowledge, enable personalized learning, and enhance pedagogical flexibility. E-learning, blended learning (b-learning), and mobile learning (m-learning) exemplify technology-mediated instructional modalities that empower learners and educators to engage in innovative knowledge construction, transcending geographical barriers. This study critically examines the impact of AI-driven digital platforms on distance learning and their implications for pedagogical efficacy. A quantitative research design was employed to evaluate the benefits and challenges associated with AI-integrated digital platforms in distance education. Data were collected through an online survey administered to education professionals from three Portuguese-speaking regions with significant engagement in digital learning: Portugal (Europe), Brazil (Latin America), and Angola (Africa). The survey assessed perceptions regarding the extent to which AI-enhanced platforms influence pedagogical practices and learning outcomes. Analysis of 230 validated responses revealed substantial insights into the role of AI-driven platforms in education. Findings indicate that these technologies foster accessibility, support individualized learning pathways, and enhance instructional adaptability. Additionally, the study identifies key areas for improvement in the integration of AI-driven platforms within pedagogical frameworks to optimize educational efficacy. The findings highlight the transformative potential of AI and digital platforms in distance education, emphasizing their capacity to enhance learning experiences and promote knowledge democratization. Nevertheless, the study underscores the necessity for ongoing optimization of these technologies to fully harness their pedagogical benefits and address existing limitations.
- Artistic-cultural perspectives in technical-professional training at UTFPR-BrazilPublication . Auzani, Adriana Santos; Silva, Levi Leonido; Pereira, Antonino; Morgado, ElsaIn this research, we intend to study the role of art in the creative process, in engineering courses at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, as a technological innovation factor. This qualitative research is characterised as a method for adopting a naturalistic and descriptive perspective. The sample is composed of students and graduates (10); teachers, coordinators and directors of Education of the Pato Branco Campus (10); Dean (1); Entrepreneurs (4). In the analysis and discussion of results from semi-structured interviews, we opted for Content Analysis, having in perspective the Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (1978). Among the main conclusions, we highlight the valorisation of creative, interpersonal and communicative skills as fundamental competences in the formation of an engineer. It is also highlighted that the role of art in engineering can enhance creativity and constitute a factor of technological innovation. This can promote the imagination and the capacity for necessary and fundamental abstraction in the design of engineering projects and the communicational plan. The integration of art in formal training, at the moment, does not constitute an institutional option, nor does it contribute to a significant dialogical relationship between curricular activities and extracurricular artistic activities.
