O trabalho proposto desenvolve um projeto iniciado no ano letivo de 2018/19 consagrando a
implementação de uma unidade curricular lecionada a cursos técnico-profissionais (CTESP)
tendo como objetivo a iniciação à investigação científica utilizando um conjunto de
tecnologias que podem ser definidas como tecnologias disruptivas, assumindo como
disruptivas as tecnologias que satisfaçam a quadrupla exigência habitualmente aceite no
contexto académico (que por sua vez o adaptou do empresarial) : tem que ser mais baratas,
mais simples, mais pequenas e mais convenientes que os recursos mais tradicionais ou mais
frequentemente utilizados, tendo esta definição norteado o tipo de recursos selecionados.
Resumidamente, procede-se a uma abordagem das principais fases e requisitos da condução
de um projeto de investigação académica e exploram-se as ferramentas informáticas
aplicáveis ao desenvolvimento de cada uma delas. Como condições fundamentais da escolha
dessas ferramentas exigiu-se que fossem de utilização intuitiva, gratuitas (ou
institucionalmente disponíveis gratuitamente) e trans-plataforma de forma a puderem ser
utilizadas sem limites por qualquer aluno da instituição. A Unidade Curricular referida é
lecionada no primeiro semestre letivo. Neste. estudo analisa-se um conjunto de inquéritos
que foram ministrados aos alunos de duas turmas dos cursos referidos, uma de perfil mais
tecnológico e uma outra de perfil mais humanístico, durante o semestre um do corrente abo
letivo, as únicas que estavam em funcionamento no ano letivo em que foi conduzido este
estudo. Foram também incluídos no estudo alguns alunos de outros cursos que frequentavam
esta UC em atraso. Estes inquéritos, que são descritos e fundamentados, tinham como
objetivos básicos: a) compreender o posicionamento destes alunos face ao interesse e
implicações da investigação de carácter académico; b) a) compreender o posicionamento
destes alunos face ao interesse e aplicabilidade das ferramentas/técnicas abordadas; c)
analisar a utilidade percebida das ferramentas/técnicas estudadas em função dos diferentes
perfis de formação. Complementarmente, analisam-se as produções dos alunos investigando
que ferramentas/técnicas são de facto utilizadas e de que forma o são. Pretende-se do
cruzamento entre ambas as análises averiguar se existe alguma discrepância entre a
utilidade/interesse reportados e a utilização real das ferramentas e técnicas abordadas
durante o decurso da lecionação da UC. A coincidência (ou não) entre utilidade/interesse
reportados e efetiva aplicação de conhecimentos, técnicas ou instrumentos fornecerá
elementos determinantes para um redesenho dos conteúdos da UC. Sendo que esta análise
se reporta ao semestre letivo que agora termina não é ainda possível neste resumo adiantar
resultados estatísticos fiáveis, mas tais resultados constarão do trabalho final.
The present work develops a project launched during the academic year of 2018/2019 with the stated goal of creating one academic subject for professional academic profiles (CTESP) aiming at introducing basic academic research to said students, using a set of tools which might be described as disruptive technologies, considering as disruptive these technologies that abide by a fourfold requisite: that they be cheaper, simpler, lighter and more convenient that conventionally accepted ones – this demand having shaped the choice of resources adopted. In a nutshell the aim is to approach the main stages and demands of an academic research project and to explore the computing tools and techniques applicable to the development of each phase. As a prerequisite demand these tools should be easy to use, free (or institutionally freely available) and cross-platform so as to allow unrestricted usage by any student in the institution. This subject is lectured during the first semester of the academic year. In this study we analyze a number of surveys answered by the students of two classes, one from a technological strand and another from a more humanistic area, the only two which were active in the present academic year, when this study was carried out. Also include in the study were a small number of students from other courses who had not yet successfully completed this subject. These surveys, that are described and dully grounded, had as main goals: a) to understand the position of students regarding the interest and implications regarding academically oriented research; b) to understand how the same students positioned themselves regarding the relevance and usage of the tools techniques studied; c) to assess the perceived utility of the tools and techniques studied in connection with the distinct class profiles. Student productions are also analyzed investigating which tools/techniques are actually used and in which way. The cross analysis of these two sources aims at determining if there is any discrepancy between reported interests/utility and actual usage. The coincidence (or its absence) between reported interest/utility and actual usage of knowledge, tools and techniques, will be decisive for an eventual reformulation of the UC’s profile. Considering that this analysis concerns data gathered during the first semester of the present academic year it is, at this moment impossible to present reliable static conclusions but such results will be presented in the completed work.
