- Competências e formação do bibliotecário da área da saúde: Protocolo de uma scoping reviewPublication . Borges, Maria Manuel; Lopes, Carlos; lopes, carlos; Antunes, Maria da LuzO bibliotecário da saúde exerce num ambiente – clínico, académico e de investigação – que requer uma atualização permanente de saberes e competências no acompanhamento a investigadores e profissionais de saúde que dele esperam expertise e contributos específicos. A formação é essencial para o desenvolvimento destas competências e saberes, mas sem um planeamento estruturado da formação especializada, o bibliotecário da saúde corre o risco de perder credibilidade e estatuto. Apresenta-se o protocolo de uma scoping review já em desenvolvimento, cujo objetivo é mapear e analisar as competências e a formação profissional recomendada para o bibliotecário que atua na área da saúde, preconizadas por associações profissionais e sociedades científicas de âmbito nacional e internacional.
- Language of flourishing: Wellbeing literacy for motivation and emotion in higher education.Publication . Vital, Ana Paula; Lopes, Carlos; Moniz, Maria João Vargas; Antunes, Maria Luz; International Conference on Motivation 2026Background: Wellbeing literacy, defined as the capability to comprehend and compose wellbeing language across contexts with intentionality, has emerged as a foundational capability for sustaining wellbeing, mental health, motivation, and academic success in higher education. Drawing on Oades’ five-component capability model - vocabulary and knowledge, multimodal comprehension, multimodal composition, context sensitivity, and intentionality—wellbeing literacy is considered as a mediator between internal–external environments and students’ subjective wellbeing, resilience, and academic engagement. Objective: This scoping review maps on how wellbeing literacy, including emergent forms such as digital wellbeing literacy and meliotropic mindsets, relates to motivation, emotion regulation, and flourishing among university students in diverse cultural and institutional settings. Method: Following PRISMA-ScR and JBI guidelines, a three-phase literature search was conducted from 2016 to 2025 in ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and SciELO, complemented by grey literature sources (e.g., ProQuest, OSF, RCAAP). Eligible studies focused on higher education students and conceptual or empirical work on wellbeing literacy and related literacies. Results: Higher wellbeing literacy consistently predicts greater life satisfaction, positive affect, and academic engagement, while relating to lower depression, anxiety, and stress. These associations are mediated by self-esteem and resilience. Evidence highlights pedagogy of belonging, multimodal communication, and salutogenic programs (e.g., laughter-based interventions) as promising contexts for cultivating relational and culturally responsive wellbeing literacy. Conclusion: Wellbeing literacy acts as a systemic lever for proactive, capability-focused approaches to student motivation and emotion. It supports the shift from deficit-based mental health responses to a whole-university, context-sensitive “languages of flourishing.”
- Portuguese teachers’ beliefs and practices about transition from preschool to primary schoolPublication . Fernandes, Carla Costa; Mata, Lourdes; Santos, Natalie NóbregaThe transition from preschool to first grade is a crucial milestone in early education, influencing children’s academic and social development. This process involves significant changes in educational settings, teaching approaches, and peer interactions. Teachers play a crucial role in shaping children’s transition experiences and understanding their beliefs and practices can provide valuable insights into improving transition support strategies. Research Findings: This study examined the beliefs and practices of 1321 preschool teachers and 918 primary school teachers in Portugal regarding the transition to first grade. Using structural equation modeling, we analyzed teachers’ perceptions about the conditions that facilitate or hinder the transition, the activities they implement, and the challenges they encounter. Results showed that both groups of teachers largely agreed on key conditions affecting transition success. Furthermore, a relationship was found between teachers’ beliefs and the practices they adopt to support children’s adaptation. Practice or Policy: These findings highlight the need for structured transition support in schools. Professional development programs should enhance teachers’ understanding of effective transition strategies, fostering continuity in learning. Strengthening collaboration between preschool and primary school teachers can help create smoother transitions, promoting children’s academic and social adjustment.
- What makes parents of young children stressed? A systematic review of quantitative studiesPublication . d’Orsi, Dora; Garraio, Carolina; Santos, Rita; Matias, Marisa; Verissimo, Manuela; Diniz, EvaThe arrival of a baby and the early years of a child’s life represent a critical period for parents, often marked by increased parental stress that can impact both their well-being and the child’s development. Although parental stress has been widely studied, no systematic review has yet focused specifically on early childhood. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review synthesizing evidence on factors examined as antecedents of parental stress during the first three years postpartum. Following PRISMA guidelines, we included 108 quantitative studies published in the past 12 years that investigated variables statistically modeled as predictors of parental stress. Key determinants of parental stress were identified at three levels: (1) at the personal level, internalizing symptoms, adverse childhood experiences, and perinatal negative experiences were related to higher stress; (2) at the relational level, marital satisfaction and coparenting quality were associated with lower stress; and (3) at the contextual level, social support from friends and family served as a protective factor of parental stress, while children’s developmental problems served as risk factors. Despite the increasing number of longitudinal studies and the growing inclusion of fathers in research, few studies have focused on participants from social minority groups or from non-Western contexts. These findings may contribute to the development of effective strategies to support families during the early years of parenthood.
- The relationship between populism and national identity: A scoping reviewPublication . Freitas, Gonçalo; Miranda, Mariana P.; Nascimento, Paulo; Conchinhas, Constança; Magalhães, Pedro C.; Vala, JorgeThere is growing research on the relationship between populism and national identity, but findings remain conceptually and methodologically fragmented. This scoping review synthesizes quantitative evidence from 69 manuscripts (87 studies, 232 associations). Following JBI and PRISMA‐ScR guidance, we charted study characteristics and used thematic content analysis to classify populism as demand‐side (attitudes/beliefs, sentiments/evaluations, endorsement/voting) or supply‐side, and national identity as secure versus defensive forms. Evidence is concentrated in Europe (≈69% of studies) and relies mainly on cross‐sectional designs (≈75%), with fewer experimental (≈16%) and longitudinal studies (≈7%). Across operationalizations, populism shows consistent positive links with defensive national attachments (e.g., nationalism, national narcissism), especially for voting/endorsement and affective evaluations of populist actors. In contrast, associations with secure national identification (e.g., national satisfaction/pride) are mixed, often null or negative, depending on measurement and modeling choices. Overall, the findings provide a comprehensive evidence mapping that can inform future research on populism and identity.
- Placing social and emotional support at the center of school climate: A scoping review of measures for middle and secondary schoolsPublication . Castro, Catarina; Barata, Maria Clara; Alexandre, Joana; Santos, RitaSchool climate can be defined as the perceptions of students, teachers/staff, and families, and the patterns of experiences that guide their daily life at school. There are a multitude of largely consensual theoretical approaches that seek to define school climate, but similar constructs are often operationalized and measured with different designations. Additionally, there has been an increase in research, practice, and public policy on the social and emotional learning (SEL) of students, but the support for this domain is rarely explicitly reflected in school climate instruments. This scoping review aims to conduct an exhaustive search for existing school climate measures, and to (1) identify the ones most frequently used, and (2) critically assess the integration of support for social and emotional learning in their composition. Results reveal a proliferation of school climate measures, with 965 studies using 404 different instruments. An analysis of those used more than five times in the literature shows that approximately 5% of measures (less than 1% of all subscales) explicitly address SEL; two thirds include items operationalizing social and emotional skills in students (6% of all items); and 91% include subscales shown to be directly related to SEL in the literature (55.04% of all subscales). This study adds clarity to the conceptualization of school climate and its relationship with the support for students’ social and emotional learning, and its results contribute to increased monitoring of quality in school practices, placing students’ social and emotional development at the center.
- Inteligência Artificial Generativa no ensino superior: Perceções, crenças e desafios éticos dos estudantes de Psicologia e da EducaçãoPublication . Lopes, Carlos; Antunes, Maria da Luz; Sanches, TatianaIntrodução: O impacto da Inteligência Artificial Generativa (IA-Gen) está a remodelar o ensino da psicologia e da educação. Este estudo explora as perceções de estudantes destas áreas do conhecimento sobre o uso de ferramentas de IA-Gen no apoio à aprendizagem, focando-se em três dimensões fundamentais: a) facilidade de uso e utilidade percebidas; b) personalização, interatividade e confiança; e c) inteligência percebida e intenção de adoção. Método: Foi adotado um delineamento quantitativo descritivo e uma análise qualitativa a duas questões abertas sobre a IA, envolvendo uma amostra de 272 estudantes (84,93% do género feminino; M = idades=19,78 anos, Med=18 anos) a frequentar o primeiro ano de estudos universitários em três instituições de ensino superior portuguesas (Ispa-Instituto Universitário, Instituto de Educação da Universidade de Lisboa e FCSH da Universidade Nova de Lisboa). A amostra é predominantemente composta por estudantes das licenciaturas em Psicologia (73,2%) e Ciências da Educação (12,13%). Os participantes responderam a um questionário de 49 itens, elaborado especificamente pelos autores com base em instrumentos recentes de avaliação da adoção de IA-Gen (e.g., TAME-ChatGPT e a sua versão portuguesa da adoção do TAME-ChatGPT pela Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro [UTAD]). Resultados: Os resultados revelam que a IA-Gen é considerada uma tecnologia intuitiva e benéfica, com 68,9% dos estudantes a utilizá-la pelo menos semanalmente, sendo o ChatGPT (89%) a ferramenta dominante. As funções principais centram-se na compreensão de tópicos complexos (74,4%) e síntese de conteúdos (65,1%). Contudo, embora os estudantes se classifiquem maioritariamente como utilizadores de nível intermédio (65,4%), reconhecem que a eficácia depende da capacidade de formular boas perguntas (M=4,31). Persistem reservas significativas quanto à fiabilidade da ferramenta: a necessidade de validar a informação com fontes especialistas é quase unânime (M=4,64). Adicionalmente expressam-se preocupações com a erosão do pensamento crítico (M=3,94), o risco de plágio e a falta de segurança de dados (M=2,71). No plano macrossocial destaca-se uma consciência elevada sobre o impacto ambiental negativo da tecnologia (M=3,75). Discussão e Conclusões: Os estudantes manifestam uma postura de otimismo crítico, estando inclinados para a adoção tecnológica, mas conscientes das suas limitações éticas e cognitivas. A inteligência da IA é valorizada para funções explicativas, mas considerada inferior à dos docentes (M=2,44), sublinhando a importância da mediação humana. Estes resultados, contextualizados aos estudantes das áreas de Psicologia e Educação, ressaltam a urgência de estratégias de integração bem fundamentadas que alinhem o uso da IA-Gen com os princípios da Ciência Aberta, garantindo a transparência, a fiabilidade e o acesso livre a dados verificáveis. Diretrizes institucionais claras, o desenvolvimento profissional do corpo docente e iniciativas de formação em literacia em IA para estudantes são fundamentais para maximizar o potencial da IA-Gen e mitigar riscos como a dependência excessiva e a falta de originalidade académica.
