Social cognitive career theory posits that career interests and decisions are influenced by individual, contextual, and behavioural factors. This research aims to assess the impact of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activities on students’ interest and aspirations in STEM careers. Additionally, the study aims to explore the critical factors that might shape students’ STEM career aspirat...
In this article, the experience of building and implementing a training program will be reported, based on the results of its evaluation process, in particular the surveys filled in by the trainees. This experience resulted from a set of options, centered on the principle of co-construction of a training process that included assessing its pertinence within the framework of promoting the quality and efficiency ...
There is a consensus that students should be involved in interdisciplinary activities that promote a solid education in STEAM subjects from an early age. The outdoor settings of schools present an advantageous context for STEAM education, allowing for a myriad of learning experiences. To understand how teachers perceive the pedagogical use of the school’s outdoor space, a study was carried out in a cluster of s...
A educação STEAM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia, Artes/Humanidades e Matemática), aliada ao ambiente outdoor, poderá promover o desenvolvimento integral e harmonioso das crianças e jovens, uma vez que se perspetivam aprendizagens significativas e o incentivo à adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. O presente estudo tem como principais objetivos avaliar a perceção de educadores de infância e professores do 1.º ...
A investigação sugere que o desenvolvimento de atividades que integrem conteúdos de Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática (atividades integradas STEM), em contextos formais pode, não só, suscitar o interesse dos alunos por estas áreas, bem como, minorar a desigualdade de género evidenciada nestas áreas. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o efeito de atividades integradas STEM, desenvolvidas na disci...
Neste artigo, dar-se-á conta da experiência de construção e implementação de um programa de capacitação, com base nos resultados do seu processo de avaliação, em particular os inquéritos por questionário preenchidos pelos formandos. Esta experiência resultou de um conjunto de opções, centradas no princípio de coconstrução de um processo formativo que incluiu a aferição da sua pertinência no quadro da promoção d...

The challenges of modern society have led educators to reconceptualize formal learning spaces, into flexible spaces, imbued with technologies and active methodologies. To achieve this goal, a course was developed in an in-service teacher education Master program to support teachers in developing learning scenarios for innovative learning environments (ILEs). The aims of the current study are to understand the i...
Durante a pandemia, o modelo flipped classroom (MFC) totalmente online constituiu-se como uma alternativa ao MFC híbrido. Para avaliar a adequação do MFC ao contexto online, desenvolveu-se um ciclo de investigação-ação com estudantes do ensino secundário português que conjugou aulas assíncronas com aulas síncronas. A configuração das aulas teve por base o modelo dos 5E: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate e Eva...
