Abstract(s)
A TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital no Ensino Superior tornou-se um tema essencial, especialmente diante das rĆ”pidas mudanƧas tecnolĆ³gicas que afetam todos os setores da sociedade. No contexto educativo Ć© um motor de inovaĆ§Ć£o que promete modernizar os processos administrativos, personalizar a experiĆŖncia de aprendizagem e promover o acesso ao ensino de qualidade. No entanto, esta transformaĆ§Ć£o Ć© complexa e exige uma adaptaĆ§Ć£o profunda das organizaƧƵes. Compreender como essas mudanƧas estĆ£o a ocorrer no Ensino Superior Ć© fundamental para delinear estratĆ©gias que impulsionem a qualidade e a acessibilidade da educaĆ§Ć£o.
A motivaĆ§Ć£o para a realizaĆ§Ć£o deste estudo surge da necessidade de entender o estado atual da TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital no Ensino Superior PortuguĆŖs, num momento em que a integraĆ§Ć£o das tecnologias se torna indispensĆ”vel para a competitividade e eficĆ”cia das InstituiƧƵes de Ensino Superior. O objetivo principal Ć© analisar como estas InstituiƧƵes estĆ£o a enfrentar os desafios e a implementar estratĆ©gias de TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital. Mais especificamente, pretende-se identificar os principais facilitadores e barreiras a este processo, bem como avaliar o impacto dessas iniciativas no ensino e na gestĆ£o acadĆ©mica.
Para alcanƧar os objetivos propostos, foi adotada uma metodologia de estudo de caso mĆŗltiplo, baseado em entrevistas de resposta aberta com participantes de trĆŖs InstituiƧƵes de Ensino Superior Portuguesas. A escolha desta metodologia visou obter uma compreensĆ£o aprofundada das percepƧƵes e prĆ”ticas relacionadas com a TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital no setor. As entrevistas permitiram explorar as experiĆŖncias dos participantes, identificar os desafios e as oportunidades especĆficas de cada instituiĆ§Ć£o e, assim, fornecer uma visĆ£o detalhada do processo de TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital em curso.
Os resultados da investigaĆ§Ć£o revelam que hĆ” um crescente compromisso em fomentar a TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital e uma consciencializaĆ§Ć£o significativa sobre da sua importĆ¢ncia no Ensino Superior PortuguĆŖs. Contudo, as organizaƧƵes ainda enfrentam desafios significativos, como a resistĆŖncia Ć mudanƧa organizacional, a falta de infraestruturas adequadas e a necessidade de formaĆ§Ć£o contĆnua dos recursos humanos para a integraĆ§Ć£o eficiente das novas tecnologias. Apesar das dificuldades, foram observadas melhorias considerĆ”veis, como a adoĆ§Ć£o de plataformas online e ferramentas colaborativas, que tĆŖm potencial para transformar as prĆ”ticas de gestĆ£o e ensino. AlĆ©m disso, a seguranƧa de dados e a proteĆ§Ć£o das informaƧƵes pessoais emergiram como Ć”reas crĆticas que necessitam de atenĆ§Ć£o contĆnua. O estudo conclui que o sucesso da TransformaĆ§Ć£o Digital dependerĆ” da implementaĆ§Ć£o de uma estratĆ©gia holĆstica, que equilibre inovaĆ§Ć£o tecnolĆ³gica e uma gestĆ£o eficaz das mudanƧas necessĆ”rios, no Ć¢mbito deste processo.
Digital transformation in higher education has become an essential topic, especially in light of the rapid technological changes that affect all sectors of society. In the educational context, it serves as a driver of innovation that promises to modernize administrative processes, personalize the learning experience, and promote access to quality education. However, this transformation is complex and requires deep adaptation from institutions. Understanding how these changes are occurring in higher education in Portugal is fundamental to outlining strategies that enhance the quality and accessibility of education. The motivation for conducting this study arises from the need to understand the current state of digital transformation in higher education, at a time when the integration of technology becomes indispensable for the competitiveness and effectiveness of higher education institutions. The main objective is to analyze how three higher education institutions in Portugal are facing the challenges and implementing digital transformation strategies. Specifically, the study aims to identify the key facilitators and barriers to this process, as well as evaluate the impact of these initiatives on both teaching and academic management. To achieve the proposed objectives, a case study methodology was adopted, based on open-ended interviews with managers of three higher education institutions in Portugal. The choice of this methodology aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the perceptions and practices related to digital transformation in the sector. The interviews allowed for the exploration of managers' experiences, identification of the specific challenges and opportunities faced by each organization, and provided a detailed view of the ongoing digital transformation process. The results of the research reveal that there is a growing commitment to fostering digital transformation and significant awareness of its importance within Portuguese higher education. However, institutions still face significant challenges, such as resistance to organizational change, lack of adequate infrastructure, and the need for continuous training of human resources to effectively integrate new technologies. Despite these challenges, considerable improvements have been observed, such as the adoption of online platforms and collaborative tools, which have the potential to transform management and teaching practices. Furthermore, data security and the protection of personal information emerged as critical areas that require ongoing attention. The study concludes that the success of digital transformation will depend on the implementation of a holistic strategy that balances technological innovation with effective change management necessary in this process.
