- Questionário de Rastreio do Ambiente Familiar: Estudo de validaçãoPublication . Pessanha, Manuela; Bairrão, Joaquim
- Influência da qualidade dos contextos de socialização no desenvolvimento das criançasPublication . Pessanha, Manuela; Bairrão, JoaquimPartindo do estudo dos contextos de socialização, família e creche, em que se processava o desenvolvimento de 120 crianças residentes no Distrito do Porto, o objectivo principal deste trabalho foi o de examinar a influência da qualidade destes contextos no desenvolvimento cognitivo, social e de linguagem destas crianças. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram a existência de efeitos, pequenos a moderados, da qualidade do ambiente familiar no desenvolvimento das crianças estudadas apontando, também, para a ausência de influências significativas da qualidade das creches participantes nos seus resultados desenvolvimentais.
- Virtual reality and associated technologies in disability research and interventionPublication . Lopes-dos-Santos, Pedro; Silveira-Maia, Mónica; Tavares, Ana; Santos, Miguel Augusto; Sanches-Ferreira, ManuelaThis paper concerns the application of virtual reality and associated technologies (VRAT) in the disability research and intervention field. By reviewing a 144 studies presented at the International Conference Series on Disability, Virtual Reality and Associated Technologies (1996-2006), our analytic work examine the underlying conceptual frameworks of disability and methodological rationales used in selected papers. In the last 15 years, there was a paradigmatic shift from the medical to the biopsychosocial model of disability. Yet, our analyses indicate that such shift is not clearly reflected in the way VRAT have been addressing disability issues. The present manuscript offers recommendations regarding definition of goals, methodological procedures, and assessment rationales in order to stimulate discussions on how the use of VRAT can be improved in the field of disability research and practice

- Comparing aspects of the process quality in six european early childhood educational settingsPublication . Zachopoulou, Evidriki; Grammatikopoulos, Vasilius; Gregoriadis, Athanasios; Gamelas, Ana Madalena; Leal, Teresa; Pessanha, Manuela; et al.The European project ‘Early Change’ (http://earlychange.teithe.gr) attempts to evaluate the quality of early childhood education (ECE) environments of six European countries, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Denmark, Cyprus and Romania. The purpose of this paper is to compare the level of two dimensions of the process quality of these environments a) Space & Furnishings, and b) Personal Care Routines. Theorists, practitioners and researchers agree that in order to provide qualitative education to young children, one of the basic needs of all children must be met; that need is the protection of their health and their safety. A high quality early childhood education program must contain a safe and stimulating environment for the child (Lindsey, 1998). Such an environment includes indoor space, outdoor space, furniture, and room arrangement, and it is considered an integral part of a high quality early childhood program. 117 early educators from the six participating countries attended the training seminars about the evaluation of ECE quality using the Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale-R (ECERS-R). The trained educators evaluated the 8 indicators of the subscale ‘space & furnishings’ and the six indicators of the subscale ‘personal care routines’ in approximately 600 early childhood classrooms from six European countries. The results of this study highlight the similarities and differences concerning the specific dimensions of the process quality of ECE environments in six European countries, and reflect the diversity of ECE environment across these countries. The findings of this study may provide a valuable insight to researchers and educational policy makers for an enhanced understanding of the cultural diversities and the strengthening of the common values and targets of the European Union.
- Evaluation of early childhood education quality across EuropePublication . Grammatikopoulos, Vasilis; Gregoriadis, Athanasios; Liukkonen, Jarmo; Zachopoulou, Evridiki; Gamelas, Ana Madalena; Leal, Teresa; Pessanha, Manuela; Barros, SílviaThe aim of the current study was to present the initial results of the evaluation of early childhood education (ECE) quality in six European countries. This study discusses various aspects of the ECE quality in different educational systems. Such comparisons can create a fertile ground for communication and collaboration among the educational communities of different European countries and promote open education. Implications and future recommendations are also discussed.
