- 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.
- Humour in mathematics teaching: A study in Portugal and SpainPublication . Menezes, Luís; Viseu, Floriano; Flores, Pablo; Amante, Susana; Costa Lopes, Ana MariaThis study analyses humour in a school context in Portugal and Spain. The study aims to respond to the following questions: (1) Do mathematics teachers consider that they have a sense of humour? (2) What conception do they have of humour? (3) Do they consider humour to be compatible with the teaching of mathematics? and (4) If teachers use humour in the teaching of mathematics, how do they use it and for what purpose? To carry out this study, we adopted a mixed methodology. Mathematics teachers, Portuguese and Spanish, teaching from primary school level to higher education, were asked to respond to a questionnaire, comprising open and closed questions. Data analysis combines statistical with content analysis. The main results reveal that most teachers claim they appreciate/value humour and acknowledge its educational relevance. Most teachers claim they use it regularly and present examples of its use. These examples show small differences between Portuguese and Spanish teachers.

- GROUP WORK METHODOLOGY IN THE DIFFERENT SUBJECT AREAS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION FROM TEACHERS AND STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVEPublication . Santos, Joana; Rocha, João; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Costa Lopes, Ana MariaGroup work is a methodology that allows the student to learn in interaction with his/her peers, through active involvement and participation in the teaching-learning process. However, this teaching practice isn’t always welcome by all teachers, as it implies a pedagogical organization that contrasts in many ways to the traditional teaching model. In addition, there is still no common understanding of the age at which it should be implemented or of the actual benefits it can provide to students. Bearing this assumption in mind, our goal was to find out more about teachers and students’ perspectives on group work methodology and how it should be used in the different subject areas of primary education. Our main research objectives were to understand the importance attached to this methodology, the subjects in which this methodology is most frequently implemented, the subjects where students work better in group, and the kind of training in group work methodology received by teachers. A questionnaire was applied in three School Groupings located in Viseu (centre region of Portugal) to a sample composed of 42 primary teachers and to their 4th grade students (218 students). 4th grade was the school year selected because students had already developed group work assignments before. Consequently, they were able to reflect on that past practice. The data obtained showed that group work is felt to be particularly important, both to teachers and students. Differences are quite significant when it comes to express how often that methodology is implemented in the classroom, though. Environmental Studies, Physical Education, and Dramatic Expression are the subject areas where teachers claim to use this methodology on a more regular basis. It should also be noted that more than half of the teachers admit they had no training whatsoever in the field of group work. The conclusions of this study indicate that a more frequent use of this methodology in primary education is beneficial, and highlight the clear need to invest in teacher training, namely in a training plan that focuses on the organization and development of group work in the classroom as a means to improve pedagogical action.
- 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.
- Pandemia ou o Perigo da Narrativa Única. Pensamento Filosófico, Teoria Cultural e Literatura-Mundo em Chimamanda N. AdichiePublication . Relvas, Susana Rocha; Sardo, Anabela; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Amante, SusanaEste estudo obedece a um referencial teórico que se inscreve nas novas perspetivas impulsionadas pelos Estudos Culturais, Pós-coloniais, Decoloniais, Globais, Transnacionais e Estudos de Área, que têm permitido a formação e ampliação de novos paradigmas e tendências nos Estudos Comparativos e, em particular, na Literatura-Mundo. A abordagem da obra The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda N. Adichie, mais especificamente dos contos “The Thing Around Your Neck” e “A Private Experience”, faz-se em consonância com os textos teóricos de Boaventura Sousa Santos, A Cruel Pedagogia do Vírus(abril 2020), e de Slavoj Žižek, Pandemic: Covid-19 Shakes the World (maio 2020), procurando apurar as temáticas que perpassam a escrita de Adichie e como se cruzam com os problemas tratados pelos pensadores referenciados, preocupações que dominam, nas primeiras décadas do século XXI, a opinião pública, a política internacional e a comunidade académica. Dos diferentes tipos de pandemia que assolam a humanidade, destacamos o perigo da narrativa única: eurocêntrica, ocidental, entre outras, hoje postas em causa pelas teorias decoloniais que colocam o foco nas epistemologias do sul.
- Digital tools for foreign language learning in higher education in PortugalPublication . Delplancq, Véronique; Costa Lopes, Ana Maria; Oliveira, I.M.; Martins, Joana; Pereira, José; Martin, J.; Casañ Pitarch, R.; Gillain, R.; Amante, Susana; Fidalgo, SusanaPedagogical innovation in higher education is a delicate subject that has already been the object of many studies. Today, it is clear that students must play a very active role in their own learning, in a process that is both increasingly individualised and collaborative, in line with the ever-changing demands of the labour market and society as a whole. Pedagogical innovation can be based on various active methodologies which rest upon numerous tools, among which digital tools currently hold a prominent place. However, it is undeniable that the various studies have attempted to draw firm conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of the different methodologies. What's more, there are so many digital tools readily available to users on the internet that it is often difficult to make a reasoned choice that will guarantee real benefits in terms of learning outcomes right from the beginning of the work with students. In fact, each student has their own particular needs and reactions. This means that teachers need to be highly flexible and able to quickly adapt the teaching sequences they had prepared. They also need to be familiar with a wide range of active methodologies and digital tools to support students' work and they have to be constantly updated to keep pace with the demands of emerging technologies. The challenges are many, but they guarantee motivation for all those involved in the educational process. This article is intended as a contribution to the discussion on the implementation of active methodologies for foreign language (FL) learning in higher education, supported by a wide range of up-to-date digital tools. The experiment presented, which is the result of projects developed at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal), took place during the second semester of the 23-24 academic year, as part of a FL curricular unit (English and French) of the 3-year degree course in Media Studies, with a group of 25 second-year students. The general aim of this curricular unit is to deepen the communicative skills pertaining to the career paths of these students, by mobilising the professional skills of these forthcoming media professionals. Other skills, such as the cultural and intercultural skills inherent to FL, are also worked on. The preferred methodologies are project-based learning, mobile learning, flipped learning, gamification and peer assessment, within a collaborative and constructive environment. In addition to these obvious hard skills, soft skills such as creativity, flexibility, empathy, critical thinking, interpersonal skills are all part of the learning progress. The study shows the evolution of the didactic sequence developed at the beginning of the semester, justifies the decisions taken towards the achievement of positive didactic repercussions particularly with regard to the choice of the digital tools used (for the production and dissemination of documents drawn up by the students or for gamification), systematises the reasons for the adaptation throughout the semester and outlines the difficulties encountered, as well as the advantages of these teaching choices from the point of view of the student, the teacher and the assessment procedures. It concludes with prospects for future research, in particular by considering AI as an inevitable asset within teaching- learning contexts.
