- O encontro da arte digital com a aprendizagem das línguas estrangeiras no ensino superior em Portugal: uma experiência de interdisciplinaridadePublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Lopez Garcia, Patricia; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, SusanaUm dos desafios atuais do Ensino Superior (ES) é inovar nas suas práticas, con-siderando o estudante como ator ativo da sua aprendizagem, na perspetiva das exigências do mercado do trabalho, a sua rápida evolução e a variedade de ca-pacidades requeridas. A criação de narrativas digitais não lineares dinâmicas com o Korsakow 6 revelou ser uma ferramenta poderosa na aprendizagem ati-va das línguas estrangeiras (LE): estimula a mobilização de competências em diversas áreas e constitui uma forte motivação para os estudantes do século XXI. O projeto JASM (Janela aberta sobre o mundo: LE, criatividade multimodal e inovação pedagógica no ES), desenvolvido por uma equipa pluridisciplinar de docentes do ES, utiliza este sistema para produzir curtas-metragens, em francês e inglês, por alunos do curso de licenciatura em Comunicação Social da Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (ESEV), tendo por base o percurso de vida e as tradições de imigrantes em Viseu. Recorre a abordagens diversas, de criação e de diferentes modos, com o objetivo de levar os estudantes a desenvolver uma consciência multilingue e multicultural, num ambiente criativo, colaborativo e interdisciplinar. O recurso às novas tecnologias permitiu prosseguir o trabalho à distância, assegurando a continuidade da produção de conteúdos e o refina-mento da qualidade dos documentos. O artigo problematiza a metodologia adotada, apresenta os resultados em termos de conteúdos produzidos, de aquisição de competências, mas também de avaliação por parte dos alunos e dos docentes.
- Humor in mathematics teaching: tasks for the classroomPublication . Menezes, Luís; Gomes, Helena Margarida dos Santos Vasconcelos; Ribeiro, António Augusto Gaspar; martins, ana patrícia; Flores, Pablo; Viseu, Floriano; Oliveira, A. M.; Balula, João Paulo; Delplancq, VéroniqueThis book, Humour in Mathematics Teaching: tasks for the classroom, is a corollary of Humat Research Project (Humour in Mathematics Teaching), developed by the Higher School of Education of Viseu (Portugal), in partnership with the University of Minho (Portugal), the University of Granada (Spain) and the University of Mendoza (Argentina), with the support of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal) and of the CI&DETS. The project rests upon two fundamental assumptions. On the one hand, it assumes that humour plays a crucial role in creating a learning environment that can boost the students’ motivation and encourage them to learn mathematics. On the other hand, it assumes that the understanding of humour and the learning of Mathematics are two activities that require a good reasoning capacity. It also recognises that the exploratory teaching of mathematics, based on the work of the students leading to the completion of challenging mathematical tasks, provides a high potential for learning. All those considerations led to the birth of this book that offers mathematical tasks with a humorous twist and whose main goal is to fulfil these two functions: to persuade students to learn and make them think about humorous situations that involve mathematical concepts. To achieve this goal, the book is organised into two sections. The first is devoted to a brief introduction to the concept of humour and the other concepts that are associated to it approaches the concept initially in a broader sense, then focusing on the teaching of Mathematics. The largest section of the book, the second, is devoted to the presentation of mathematical tasks that are based on panels or comic strips involving humorous and witty content. The tasks suggested were planned for an exploratory-type teaching of mathematics and therefore they generally have an open nature. Almost invariably, we start by asking the student to describe the situation presented and to say whether or not they consider it funny. After this first request, we present others of a more specific nature. The selected tasks focus on mathematical topics that are taught in basic education. Our proposals can be used in two different circumstances. Some were designed to introduce new topics and others to consolidate previously learned knowledge. Tasks can be used and explored at different school levels, as long as we adapt the questions’ instructions or the way we guide the students’ work. The tasks are different according to the kind of reaction they are meant to trigger in students. Some tasks value affective/emotional aspects as they seek to seize the students’ attention and keep them engaged in their learning, thinking about an unexpected situation presented. Other tasks are focused on the development of cognitive and intellectual aspects. With those tasks, the students’ work goes far beyond the mere focus on learning. It represents challenges that arise from the cognitive ruptures that were conveyed by the proposed situations/tasks. For each task, we present a brief description of the situation and then we come up with didactic considerations about the several questions involved.

- Creation of non-linear storytelling as a tool for learning foreign languages in higher education in PortugalPublication . Costa, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Lopez Garcia, Patricia; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, Susana; Delplancq, VéroniqueEm 2019/20, nasceu, sob as restrições da COVID-19, o projeto Stepping up to Global Challenges: Empowering Students across the World. As docentes de Inglês de Negócios II (Marketing/ESTG/IPV) ofereceram aos seus alunos oportunidades reais de comunicação em língua inglesa, através de atividades baseadas em tarefas e do recurso a plataformas digitais, em colaboração com pares da Kazimierz Pulaski UTH (Polónia) e da Ege Üniversitesi (Turquia). A segunda edição do projeto decorreu no 2.o semestre de 2020/21, também em cenário de pandemia, e foi, por isso mesmo, dedicada à aprendizagem do inglês através de atividades de combate ao isolamento e de promoção de comportamentos responsáveis, por alunos de Enfermagem da ESS/IPV, de Marketing da ESTG/IPV, da ES de Eletrónica e de Filologia Inglesa da UTH e de vários cursos da Ege Üniversitesi. Neste artigo, pretendemos: a) discutir as vantagens da aprendizagem do inglês recorrendo ao Project-Based Learning (PBL), através de um olhar sobre o exemplo concreto do projeto Stepping Up to Global Challenges (SGC) 2: Learning English while fighting the outbreak of Covid-19; b) apresentar alguns produtos resultantes do trabalho de co-construção de conhecimento em ambientes multiculturais e, mais importante ainda, interculturais. Lançar-se-á um olhar sobre as narrativas de alunos de contextos diferenciados, desde os cursos frequentados; às instituições distintas e, algumas, distantes; às vivências culturais necessariamente diferentes, permitindo experienciar e partilhar de formas variadas o contexto pandémico que nos obriga ao confinamento, mas não necessariamente ao isolamento, pois urge a criação de pontes – virtuais – que nos permitam ultrapassar fronteiras físicas.
- Janela aberta sobre o mundo: línguas estrangeiras, criatividade multimodal e inovação pedagógica no ensino superior (JASM)Publication . Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, Susana; Delplancq, VéroniqueA inovação das suas práticas é um dos desafios atuais do Ensino Superior (ES), perspetivando as exigências do mercado do trabalho, a sua rápida evolução e a variedade de capacidades requeridas. O estudante é ator ativo da sua aprendizagem, nesta mudança de paradigma. Forte motivação para os estudantes do século XXI e estimulação da mobilização de competências em diversas áreas, a criação de narrativas digitais não lineares dinâmicas com o Korsakow 6 revelou ser uma ferramenta poderosa na aprendizagem ativa das línguas estrangeiras. O projeto JASM (Janela aberta sobre o mundo: LE, criatividade multimodal e inovação pedagógica no ES), desenvolvido por uma equipa pluridisciplinar de docentes do ES, utiliza esta plataforma para a produção de curtas-metragens, em francês e inglês, por estudantes do curso de licenciatura em Comunicação Social da Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (ESEV). O percurso de vida e as tradições de imigrantes em Viseu são as bases do trabalho. As abordagens diversas, de criação e de diferentes modos, com o objetivo de desenvolver, nos estudantes, uma consciência multilingue e multicultural, num ambiente criativo, colaborativo e interdisciplinar constituem as originalidades do projeto. O recurso às novas tecnologias contribuiu para a renovação de práticas e para a motivação dos aprendizes, o aumento do empenho e a melhoria das performances. O papel do docente transitou de elemento centralizador para orientador do processo de aprendizagem, mais disponível e mais flexível.
- Storytelling and digital art as a means to improve multilingual skillsPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa, Ana Maria; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Coutinho, Emília; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Lopez Garcia, Patricia; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, SusanaThe use of storytelling and digital art as tools to understand a migrant family’s life path will be in the center of an innovative methodology that will ensure the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness, reinforcing the various dimensions of language (aesthetic and emotional, in addition to cognitive), in a creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. This is especially important among students who are not likely to receive further language training. It is not yet clear how teachers can explore multilingual experiences of learners, both in terms of language learning dimensions but also related with the multiple cognitive connections and representations, as well as to the awareness of language diversity. The JASM (Open window onto the world: foreign languages, multimodal creativity and pedagogical innovation in higher education) project involves a group of students of the 1st cycle in Media Studies, from the School of Education of Viseu, who will work using photography, digital art and cultural communication, collecting information pertaining to diversified cultural and linguistic contexts of the city of Viseu (Beira Alta, Portugal), both in French and English, centered on a tradition or ritual of a migrant family. Based on an interview, students write the story (in French and English) of the life of migrants and use photography to highlight the most relevant aspect of the migrant’s family life. Using as a starting point an object associated with religion, tradition or a ritual, students create an animated film, in both languages. This approach will allow the exploration of culture and digital scenography, integrating in an innovative interdisciplinary pathway, digital art, multilingual skills and multicultural awareness. Students’ learning progress and teacher roles are assessed during this process, using tests from the beginning to the end of the project.
- Innovative student-centred strategies in higher education: na experience of active foreign language learningPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Pereira, José; Fidalgo, SusanaTo be innovative, the chosen methodological framework in higher education must encompass strategies centred on the student and his professional expectations linked to his training field, with the objective of also working on vital and adequate transversal skills according to the requirements of the labour market and with better results than traditional practices accomplish/have accomplished. A creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment ensures the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness in the digital age. St-Jean & Dupuis Brouillette (2021) show that, thanks to pedagogical activation, the student effectively engages in his learning, progressing thanks to his ideas and their fulfilment. In project-based learning, the student must invest in developing a project, a dynamic strategy that requires collaborative work, the use of technologies and the creation of artefacts. The teacher’s role is to supports learning. The experience presented focuses on the learning of foreign languages through project pedagogy, using digital tools available mainly on android, tablet and computer equipment with undergraduate Media Studies students of the School of Education in Viseu (Portugal), in order that they may acquire skills in French and English for specific purposes. Students work on a project in the two foreign languages using strategies and skills specific to their future professional field. The methodology is presented and discussed, as well as the difficulties encountered and the results obtained, both from the point of view of the student and that of the teacher. Current research results tend to show that the use of active learning methodologies in the context of collaborative work, compared to traditional strategies, can increase student motivation and autonomy. They promote the interactive process among students and between them and the teachers, facilitating the acquisition of knowledge and skills as far as foreign languages are concerned. Our objective is to show the path followed by students and teachers, to describe the evolution of learning, with its positive aspects, stumbling blocks and difficulties, and to open up new ways of reflecting on the foreign language teaching/learning process in higher education, based on an experience carried out with students at this particular level. The conclusions taken highlight the need for forthcoming work projects in this area.
- The Korsakow platform and nonlinear narratives as a means to enhance foreign language learning in HEPublication . Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Gillain, Romain; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, Susana; Relvas, Susana; Delplancq, VéroniqueThe Covid-19 pandemic has posed great challenges to higher education (HE) and, in particular, to foreign language (FL) teaching. If, on the one hand, the lockdown and remote learning measures have brought constraints to teaching and research activities, on the other hand, they have fostered resilience, promoted creativity, and accelerated the use of technologies and digital transformation. The use of the Korsakow platform and the creation of non-linear storytelling are the strategies underlying an innovative methodology concerning the learning process of French and English as FL, in HE in Portugal. The JASM project (Open window onto the world: foreign languages, multimodal creativity, and pedagogical innovation in higher education) involves a group of students attending the bachelor’s course in Media Studies of the School of Education in Viseu. Students develop their assignments based on data analysis, related to diverse cultural and linguistic contexts within the city of Viseu, including interviews, photographs, and narratives centred on a migrant’s tradition. Digital art and online tools ensure greater motivation in acquiring multilingual skills and developing multilingual awareness. In this way, the various dimensions of language (aesthetic, emotional, and cognitive) are reinforced, in a remote teaching scenario/context, which is creative and collaborative while also mobilizing interdisciplinary skills. Such a reflection appears to be particularly relevant at a time when one needs clearly to adapt teaching and learning to the needs of society and rely upon pedagogical innovation, with students whose HE training has specific objectives other than the ones of those enrolled in language courses. The methodology is discussed, and the results of this project-based learning are presented.
- Humor no ensino da Matemática: tarefas para a sala de aulaPublication . Menezes, Luís; Gomes, Helena Margarida dos Santos Vasconcelos; Ribeiro, António Augusto Gaspar; martins, ana patrícia; Flores, Pablo; Viseu, Floriano; Oliveira, Ana Maria; Matos, Isabel Aires; Balula, João Paulo; Delplancq, VéroniqueEste livro, Humor no Ensino da Matemática: Tarefas para a sala de aula, surge no âmbito do projeto de investigação HUMAT (Humor in Mathematics Teaching), desenvolvido pela Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (Portugal), em parceria com a Universidade do Minho (Portugal), a Universidade de Granada (Espanha) e a Universidade de Mendoza (Argentina), com o apoio do Instituto Politécnico de Viseu (Portugal) e CI&DETS. O projeto assume duas ideias fundamentais. Por um lado, assume a importância que o humor tem na criação de um ambiente de aprendizagem que pode impulsionar a motivação para aprender Matemática. Por outro lado, assume que a compreensão do humor e a aprendizagem da Matemática são duas atividades que exigem boa capacidade de raciocínio. Admite ainda que o ensino exploratório da Matemática, baseado no trabalho dos alunos com tarefas matemáticas desafiantes, tem um elevado potencial para a aprendizagem. Nesta medida, surge este livro de tarefas matemáticas de cunho humorístico, que procuram cumprir estas duas funções, ou seja, predispor os alunos para aprender e levá-los a raciocinar sobre situações humorísticas que envolvem conceitos matemáticos.
- Case study of a project-based learning experience at the Polytechnic of Viseu, PortugalPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Amante, Susana; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Coutinho, Emília; Fidalgo, Susana; Gillain, Romain; Lopez, Patricia; Oliveira, Isabel; Pereira, José; Relvas, Susana; Roush, PaulaPedagogical innovation is at the centre of higher education (HE) priorities, with a view to renewing its practices and thus motivating students and providing experiences in line with their professional context. Improvement in foreign languages (FL), especially with students who are not likely to receive further language training, requires awareness of this query, inasmuch as competences in FL in the work environment are unanimously recognized as vital and so rightly included in the training plans. The project-based learning approach in an interdisciplinary and collaborative work perspective, using multimodality in communication, is a consistent asset that allows for work to be carried out, comprising the various dimensions of language in French and English, in their connections with cognitive representations. JASM (Open window onto the world: foreign languages, multimodal creativity and pedagogical innovation in higher education) project aims to develop an experience of active pedagogy at the School of Education of Viseu from the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal)with undergraduate students in Media Studies enrolled in the various FL curricular units. Among the subjects of the study plan, students work on photography, digital art and cultural communication. The students start off by collecting information on the cultural and linguistic diversity of the city of Viseu (Beira Alta, Portugal). The project enhances the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness, due to the attention given to the various dimensions of language (aesthetic and emotional, in addition to cognitive), in a creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. Based on an interview, students write the story (in French and English) of the life of migrants. Through captioned photographs, students highlight the aspect of the migrant’s family life which stands out the most. Based on an object (associated with religion, a tradition or with a ritual), students create an animated film, also in both languages (exploration of material culture and digital scenography). The outcome of such productions will be the subject of publications on social media, exhibitions, also being displayed at events and in an e-book. In this project, the topic of interdisciplinarity is highlighted, combining FL with digital art. The evolution, both of the students’ learning and of the teachers’ role in the whole process, is assessed, using tests carried out at the beginning and at the end of the project, including monitoring in the middle of the development of the project.
