Resumo Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie é uma reconhecida autora nigeriana, cuja obra literária explora temas como identidade, género, pós-colonialismo e cultura. O presente artigo analisa a forma como em Mama’s Sleeping Scarf, a sua primeira incursão na literatura infantil, Adichie oferece uma narrativa simples, mas profunda, que celebra a cultura africana e a diversidade familiar. A narrativa, centrada em Chino, uma menina nigeriana, utiliza o lenço de dormir da mãe como um símbolo de conexão intergeracional e identidade cultural. Adichie desafia estereótipos ao retratar uma mãe trabalhadora e um pai envolvido nas tarefas domésticas, subvertendo papéis tradicionais de género. A obra destaca-se pelas suas ilustrações vibrantes que refletem a herança cultural nigeriana, enquanto o texto aborda de forma acessível temas complexos como equidade de género e diversidade cultural. Mama’s Sleeping Scarf é uma contribuição significativa para a literatura infantil, descolonizando-a ao oferecer uma representação positiva e inclusiva da cultura africana. Através desta obra, Adichie reafirma seu compromisso com a representação cultural e a construção de narrativas que promovem a compreensão intercultural desde a infância.
- Análise crítica do discurso: proposta didática de abordagem com estudantes do ensino superiorPublication . Macário, Maria João; Silva, Ana IsabelA análise crítica dos discursos mediatizados permite compreender os textos para além dos próprios textos, através da análise das estratégias discursivas e da construção de significados dos atores sociais. A compreensão sobre os contextos sociais no funcionamento (social) dos discursos justifica-se no ensino da Pragmática com estudantes do ensino superior. Tal é o caso dos alunos que frequentam cursos de Comunicação Social, na medida em que a transformação dos discursos para serem difundidos através dos meios de comunicação de massas (quer sejam os tradicionais ou os novos média) será certamente objeto de trabalho nas suas práticas profissionais futuras. Exemplificando como o ensino da Pragmática poderá ser mobilizado para a vida profissional destes estudantes, este artigo centra-se nos resultados de uma proposta didática de análise crítica de discursos mediatizados por estudantes finalistas de Comunicação Social. Esta investigação de abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvida no ano letivo de 2021/2022 e envolveu uma análise de conteúdo a partir das práticas de análise discursiva dos estudantes, que dispunham de um guião didático para apoiar o seu trabalho de análise. Este estudo de caso, envolvendo 60 participantes, revelou-nos a oportunidade desta proposta para os estudantes compreenderem os discursos como práticas sociais, que resultam e dão origem (simultaneamente) a fenómenos sociais, que importa conhecer. Ao mesmo tempo, esta proposta permitiu contribuir para o desenvolvimento de capacidades analítico-críticas e reflexivo-interpretativas, importantes para a ação profissional futura destes participantes.
- Co-creation and Pedagogical Innovation in Higher Education: An Account of Two Trainees and Facilitators Participating in the Demola Portugal InitiativePublication . Amante, Susana; Silva, Ana Isabel; Pereira, FilipaBetween 2021 and 2023, the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV), in Portugal, conducted two interdependent projects aimed at training teachers and fostering collaboration between industry and academia. These projects involved teams of students tackling challenges posed by local companies and non-profit organisations. One such challenge, ‘The Mission of Libraries’, explored the future role of libraries in society, partnering with the António Lobo Antunes library. Another challenge, ‘Born to Save’ collaborated with ARTIDERCA-Agência Criativa to enhance people’s lives, particularly through children and their engagement with first aid practices. This paper presents the methodologies, tools, platforms, and tasks employed in addressing these challenges. Through a case study methodology based on the trainees’ reflections on their facilitation process, the study subscribes to the core values identified by the training entity Demola Global. These values, namely communication, action, curiosity, diversity, imperfection, and responsibility contribute to co-creation and help build bridges between academia and the labour market. Such dynamics underpin active learning methodologies, impacting students, teachers, and communities. This research highlights the importance of pedagogical innovation training in preparing teachers to integrate challenge-based learning into their teaching practices and align with the expanded mission of Higher Education Institutions. The implications for policymakers lie in the need to support projects like the Demola Portugal Initiative, fostering collaboration between academia, industry and society to address innovative, real-world challenges.
- Exploring E-portfolios: Illuminating Accounts of the Pedagogical Innovation Training Programme at the Polytechnic Institute of ViseuPublication . Amante, SusanaEvery educational institution strives for pedagogical excellence, driven by the goal of providing the most effective and impactful learning experiences to its students. This is no different at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV) and other Polytechnic Institutes participating in a Pedagogical Innovation Training Programme developed within a consortium committed to enriching educational methodologies and tools. There is evidence that innovative pedagogical methodologies lead to enhanced student engagement, foster meaningful interactions, promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and ultimately better academic achievement. This study focuses on the training course on pedagogical innovation offered to the teaching staff from IPV and vocational schoolteachers from the region, by examining their reflective portfolios. We aim at illuminating the impact and efficacy of the initiative in fostering active methodologies and innovative pedagogical tools, employing qualitative analysis to uncover the nuanced perceptions of the IPV participants in the six editions of the programme (2021-2023). The findings reveal that they value active methodologies, intercultural and multidisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of industry- aligned skills development, even if we encounter accounts of challenges faced during the implementation process of the training course. Ultimately, this study contributes to assessing the initiative’s impact and underscores the pivotal role of innovative teaching methodologies in striving for educational excellence. In light of the findings, policy recommendations include encouraging continued investment in pedagogical innovation training programmes, supporting interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering industry alignment, and addressing implementation challenges to ensure the effectiveness of such initiatives.
- Fruit and vegetable consumption: Study involving Portuguese and French consumersPublication . LE TURC, Nolwenn; Silva, Ana Isabel; Florença, Sofia De Guiné E; C. Goncalves, J.; Lemos, Edite Teixeira de; Lima, M. J. Reis; Guiné, RaquelThe regular consumption of vegetables and fruits has been indicated as part of a healthy diet. They are considered healthy foods because they are sources of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Adequate intake of these foods can reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and various types of cancer. The objective of the present study was to determine the consumption habits of vegetables and fruits in two different countries, Portugal and France. For this descriptive study, it was used a questionnaire survey, applied to individuals over 18 years old and carried out through the internet, being disseminated on social networks and by email. The sample was constituted by 640 participants (257 from Portugal and 383 from France). Statistical tools were used for the treatment of data, like the T-Test and chi-square test utilised to compare the results between Portuguese and French consumers. The results showed that the Portuguese eat out more often than the French. Portuguese and French like vegetables equally but the French eat more vegetables and fruit per week on average than the Portuguese. The French like soup as much as the Portuguese but the Portuguese eat soup more regularly than the French and prefer soup with cut pieces, unlike the French which prefer soup with grounded vegetables. The global consumption of vegetables and fruits is low in both countries and should be increased, most especially in Portugal, where the consumption is lower. In conclusion, despite some differences found across consumers according to country, the consumption of these foods is still below the recommendations of the World Health Organisation, and therefore, some more actions are necessary to incentivise a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy lifestyle.
- Topografias da sobrevivência em poemas de guerraPublication . Melão, DulceEste artigo apresenta uma proposta de mapeamentos do espaço em poemas de guerra, procurando indagar os modos como se reconfigura, por via dos veios temáticos que os poemas conglomeram. Para dar cumprimento a tal objetivo, parte-se de um referencial teórico que privilegia uma perspetiva experiencial do espaço e do lugar, em articulação com a geocrítica. A análise realizada lança luz sobre o cariz inóspito, subversivo, e provisório dos espaços vivenciados, expondo a sua relevância para a construção de topografias da sobrevivência nos poemas de guerra, enquanto precário refúgio da paz ansiada.
- In her hands: navigating [sexual] identity and gender roles in a Portuguese graphic novel for young adults by Joana EstrelaPublication . Amante, SusanaVisual narratives, such as graphic novels and comic books, are powerful forms of literature that use verbal and pictorial modes, in intersemiotic complementarity, making them an effective tool to tackle social issues, namely to explore hidden or sensitive topics in a thought-provoking, entertaining, and inspiring way. This is the case in the last graphic novel published by a young Portuguese writer and illustrator for children and young adults, Joana Estrela, the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. In this study, then, we intend to focus on Raquel, the protagonist in Pardalita, who takes her future into her hands and ventures to navigate the waters of self-discovery, crossing prejudice and challenging gender role stereotypes. Through her theatre group, she enters a third space that promotes inclusivity and empowers individuals regardless of gender. By analysing the multimodality that characterises this book, we come to realise the synergistic and transformative potential that visual narratives hold.
- ‘Now open for action!’ – A real-world challenge project developed at the Polytechnic Institute of ViseuPublication . Amante, SusanaHigher Education Institutions are committed to developing innovative pedagogical practices that open the doors to collaboration between students, who are seen as talents; teaching staff, who become their facilitators; and partner entities that present them with societal challenges, in different fields, and call for intercultural, multidisciplinary, proactive, multi-stakeholder action. This is the setting of the virtual learning environments that the Demola Portugal Initiative has embraced and cherished in a network of 14 Portuguese Polytechnic Institutions. Our study focuses on a real-world challenge project that was part of the first batch developed at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, together with ACERT, a cultural and recreational association from the region that struggled with a fall in activity caused by the pandemic. Using design thinking and co-creation, a team of six students came up with a few solutions that would make young generations reconnect and participate in cultural activities. The aim of this paper is, thus, to present a case study that portrays how Higher Education Institutions are being reframed to become more innovative, humanising and transformative spaces that extend beyond the classroom walls to scaffold learning through meaningful tasks and partnerships. With this study, we may conclude that this project empowered the team and made them feel like true change-makers, whilst developing skills for their future that they can put into practice in the workplace.
