- Competências das escolas de ensino de cariz tecnológico enquanto entidades cooperadoras com o Ensino SuperiorPublication . Meira Castro, Ana C.; Pinho, A. M.; Meixedo, João Paulo; Hoffbauer, Luisa N.; Teixeira, A.No presente artigo faz-se a apologia da criação e desenvolvimento de escolas tecnológicas, estreitamente ligadas a montante ao tecido empresarial e a jusante ao ensino Superior público de base tecnológica, estabelecendo-se como fundamental interface de ligação entre estas duas realidades, contribuindo desta forma para um melhor ajustamento do modelo de Ensino Superior, na definição das suas competências, face ao aumento da concorrência nos mercados tradicionais. Como caso de estudo apresenta-se o exemplo de sucesso da Escola Tecnológica de Vale de Cambra.
- Data analysis applied to the evaluation of a technological nature teaching model as a regional development toolPublication . Meixedo, João Paulo; Pinho, M.; Teixeira, A.; Hoffbauer, Luisa N.; Meira Castro, Ana C.This paper presents the creation and development of technological schools directly linked to the business community and to higher public education. Establishing themselves as the key interface between the two sectors they make a signigicant contribution by having a greater competitive edge when faced with increasing competition in the tradional markets. The development of new business strategies supported by references of excellence, quality and competitiveness also provides a good link between the estalishment of partnerships aiming at the qualification of education boards at a medium level between the technological school and higher education with a technological foundation. We present a case study as an example depicting the success of Escola Tecnológica de Vale de Cambra.
- Involving forensic students in integrative learning—a project proposalPublication . Teixeira, A.; Azevedo, A.; Pérez-Mongiovi, D.; Caldas, I. M.; Costa-Rodrigues, JoãoIn our experience, university students enrolling in health science and forensic science degrees show difficulty in retaining and integrating basic scientific knowledge learned in their first academic year. Furthermore, in the forensic sciences case, many students have oversimplified and unrealistic expectations as a result of the exposure to crime TV shows, internet blogs, and other social media platforms. Our pedagogical proposal is focused on second-year university students, aiming at promoting effective learning and the integration of scientific knowledge from previous courses, in this particular example, molecular and cell biology and biochemistry, with more advanced forensic courses, such as forensic anthropology and odontology. Teams composed of students and tutors from the teaching staff, with the help of dichotomous keys, are challenged to analyze a crime scene and choose the relevant evidence to further investigate, determine the scientific approach, execute the experimental work, interpret the results and, finally, resolve the case. To assess the pedagogical advantages and the receptivity of this project, a survey is to be carried out among students, and respective statistical analysis is also proposed. Finally, we hope this project outline may be adapted to other subjects, and, therefore, be used to address different pedagogical questions in forensic studies.
