A parental child-centered feeding approach is likely to keep children’s biological mechanisms activated while eating, protecting them in an obesogenic context. However, few feeding practice measures assess parents’ behaviors to guide and prompt children to identify and respond appropriately to their signs of hunger and satiety. We aimed to develop and study the reliability, validity, and measurement invariance ...
This paper presents the design, validation and a pilot study of two questionnaires (Initial Questionnaire and Final Questionnaire) as research instruments for collecting data to support an ongoing PhD project at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) on geosciences education in Basic Education (from the 1st to the 9th grade), specifically "Science teaching in primary education: sustainable development and practica...
Na promoção da Educação para Desenvolvimento Sustentável, a educação em ciências é preponderante na formação de cidadãos informados, participativos e comprometidos com uma gestão responsável e solidária do nosso Planeta e dos seus recursos. Urge, para isso, a conceção de programas de formação contínua de professores, alicerçados nas suas necessidades e expectativas, promotores de competências que possibilitem a...
