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...
As políticas educativas reforçam consistentemente a importância de preparar os futuros professores com a confiança e a competência necessárias para lecionar, de forma eficaz, conteúdos de Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática (STEM). Estudos anteriores sugerem que o sucesso destas iniciativas depende das crenças, conhecimentos e compreensão dos futuros professores relativamente ao ensino STEM. Mais espec...
A experiência aqui relatada envolveu futuros educadores/professores na construção de Escape Rooms Educativos através da metodologia de aprendizagem baseada em projetos, no âmbito de uma abordagem integradora das STEAM. A qualidade dos projetos desenvolvidos mostra que se trata de uma experiência eficaz para promover a aprendizagem ativa e interdisciplinar e para desenvolver competências essenciais ligadas à edu...
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...

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...
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...
In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in the interdisciplinary educational approach known as Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Humanities, and Mathematics (STEAM). This trend is grounded in the demonstrably positive impact this approach has on children and young people's attitudes and learning outcomes, as well as the imperative to foster their curiosity and engagement with the content enco...
Teacher education programmes are widely acknowledged for their pivotal role in equipping future educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in their roles. The concept of self-efficacy has emerged as a key area of interest in teacher education, due to its strong associations with teachers' performance and commitment to their profession. Consequently, there is a pressing need to cultivate the se...
