  • Experiências de estudantes portugueses e espanhóis de ciências sociais sobre literacia informacional e utilização de tecnologias móveis no ensino superior: análise qualitativa após a COVID-19
    Publication . Lopes, Carlos; Cavaleiro Marechal, David; Antunes, Maria da Luz; Sanches, Tatiana
    Objetivo: Analisar comparativamente as experiências e percepções de estudantes portugueses e espanhóis de Ciências Sociais quanto ao uso e inclusão de tecnologias móveis nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem e refletir sobre o papel das bibliotecas de ensino superior e seus profissionais nesse contexto. Método: Metodologia exploratória de grupos focais socioconstrutivos, com base em uma amostra de dezoito estudantes finalistas dos cursos de Psicologia e Pedagogia. Resultados: Os estudantes vivenciam lacunas significativas em suas habilidades no uso de tecnologias móveis. Eles percebem limitações atitudinais e tecnológicas em seus professores. Há também algumas diferenças nas atitudes em relação à inclusão de tecnologias móveis nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem. Os estudantes espanhóis demonstraram melhores habilidades, enquanto os estudantes portugueses demonstraram maior nível de autopercepção. Discussão/Conclusões: Como consequência da pandemia, destaca-se a necessidade de aproximação aluno-professor e as limitações técnicas de alguns professores, tornando necessária uma mentalidade aberta a novos dispositivos e ferramentas tecnológicas nos processos de ensino. As instituições acadêmicas, e os bibliotecários em particular, devem se esforçar para entender o alcance e as possibilidades das tecnologias móveis para aumentar a motivação dos estudantes e adquirir competência informacional. Esta reflexão é prioritária para otimizar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem.
  • Competencies and skills for tourism education advancement: A bibliometric analysis and literature review
    Publication . Au-Yong-Oliveira, Manuel; Bampoori, Mastoureh; Moreira, Ana; Grassos, Theodoros
    How may we secure a more sustainable path, in future, for the tourism industry? Following the Covid-19 pandemic, which made evident some frailties and need for change in the tourism industry, the tourism scenario has evolved, and a great deal of upskilling and reskilling is now necessary. Consumer attitudes have altered and are now more focused on sustainable tourism and other such related themes. This study is an attempt to shed light on competencies and skills for tourism education advancement—whether by universities or by VET. Hence, a bibliometric analysis was performed as was a literature review. The bibliometric analysis identified some key themes using the VOS viewer tool and the Scopus database. Digital skills, soft skills, emotional intelligence, but above all the ability to seek out what one needs to know (ability to self-determine and be self-motivated), in the era of technology, stand out. The literature review identified green skills (×4), global skills (×4), digital skills (×6), and digital apps (×4)—related to competencies and skills for tourism education/training advancement.

  • Words around Information Literacy: Construction and use of concepts to support scholarship as conversation
    Publication . Sanches, Tatiana; Antunes, Maria Da Luz; Lopes, Carlos
    Inspired by Scholarship as Conversation, a frame from the conceptual ACRL Framework (ACRL, 2016), this study aims to reflect on Information Literacy concepts, expressed in a specific terminology, that the discipline, particularly in higher education, has been adding, contributing to the construction of this scientific area and dialogue in academy and profession. The work seeks to demonstrate how concepts of information literacy in higher education has evolved in parallel with the publication of theoretical frameworks, defined from guiding documents. This vision aims to clear knowledge of the discourse produced on information literacy, showing trends, and investigative clues. Terminology produced in Information Literacy strengthens the affirmation of the disciplinary field, benefiting the scientific community through a more assertive and understandable dialogue between researchers.
  • Glossary of Information Literacy from A to Z
    Publication . Antunes, Maria Da Luz; Lopes, Carlos; Sanches, Tatiana
    This chapter embodies a glossary from A to Z, presenting specific terms in the field of information literacy. For that purpose, the vocabulary found in similar works and reference documents is analyzed and presented for specific, current, and detailed glossary as a result. The information collected was analyzed and organized alphabetically, seeking to mirror the evolution of concepts and terminology of the scientific production on the subject, and at the same time, framing an important consultation tool for all professionals in the area. For the development of academic and professional expertise and competence in a given disciplinary field, it is essential to understand the vocabulary and essential concepts, and Information Literacy is no exception. A glossary can be also a very useful aid for those who take the first steps in understanding the terminology applied to information literacy, particularly for students in an academic context.
  • Potenciar a literacia da informação no ensino superior
    Publication . Sanches, Tatiana; Lopes, Carlos; Antunes, Maria Da Luz
    O campo de ação da Literacia da Informação é vasto e transversal, quer na aprendizagem formal e informal, quer ao longo da vida. No ensino superior, a Literacia da Informação assume um padrão de competências integradas que contempla a descoberta reflexiva da informação, a compreensão de como a informação é produzida e valorizada e a utilização da informação na criação ética e legal de novos conhecimentos, abrindo espaço para mudanças pedagógicas na educação e na formação. O pensamento crítico envolve um conjunto de processos: análise, avaliação, pesquisa de informação para resolver problemas; ou seja, propõe-se julgar algo a partir de um padrão de referência, raciocínio lógico, inferência, observação, interpretação, criatividade, mente aberta, autorregulação, comunicação, colaboração e até mesmo outros atributos relacionados à motivação e às emoções para enfrentar uma tarefa complexa e resolvê-la. Este artigo explora a articulação do conceito de pensamento crítico com o de literacia da informação. É apresentada uma reflexão teórica que destaca o contributo desses constructos no contexto académico e na dinâmica do ensino superior. O diálogo entre o pensamento crítico e a literacia da informação potencia uma cadeia de eventos que emancipam e autonomizam os alunos, desenvolvendo competências que podem ser utilizadas em qualquer contexto – uma relação fecunda e fundamental a desenvolver no ensino superior, nomeadamente na formação em literacia da informação. Conclui-se que o pensamento crítico é um elemento essencial da literacia da informação e sugere-se que ambos devem ser ensinados em conjunto nas estruturas dos cursos.
  • El papel transformador de los preprints en la aceleración de la comunicación científica
    Publication . Alonso Arévalo, Julio; Lopes, Carlos
    [ES]Los preprints son versiones de trabajos de investigación disponibles antes de su publicación formal. El término lleva utilizándose dese hace décadas. Se trata de informes preliminares de investigación, que no han sido objeto de escrutinio editorial y de revisión por pares. El intercambio de preprints entre los investigadores en el área científica fue una política común anterior a la web, sobre todo en el ámbito científico-técnico. En ciertas disciplinas altamente dinámicas, como es la física, donde ya preexistía un sistema de comunicación científica, en el que los preprints eran un elemento fundamental, ya se ha operado el cambio, siendo éste el principal medio para la comunicación de los resultados de investigación. El valor fundamental de los preprints es que permiten a los científicos acceder a los hallazgos de vanguardia más rápidamente que cuando los autores envían sus hallazgos directamente a las revistas tradicionales, que a menudo tardan meses en completar las revisiones. La principal crítica al modelo es que frente a la ventaja que implica la velocidad de publicación, es que generan dudas en cuanto a su fiabilidad y credibilidad. En el documento se analiza la capacidad de citación y el valor de los preprints como elementos transformadores y aceleradores de la comunicación científica.
  • ‘Positive Education’: A Professional Learning Programme to Foster Teachers’ Resilience andWell-Being
    Publication . Fernandes, Luísa; Gouveia, Maria João; Silva, José Castro; Peixoto, Francisco
    Professional learning can make a significant contribution to teachers’ resilience and well-being. This chapter reports the implementation of a professional learning programme focused on resilience and well-being, targeting 35 inservice Portuguese teachers, mostlyworking in middle and secondary education. The ‘Positive Education’ programme was adapted from the European project ENTREE (ENhancing Teachers REsilience in Europe) and encompasses six training modules: 1—Resilience; 2—Building Relationships; 3—Emotional Well-Being; 4—Stress Management; 5—Effective Teaching; 6—Classroom Management, and an additional module named ‘Education forWell-Being’. The concepts and topics for each module will be discussed, along with the design and implementation of the strategies followed to promote a positive, collaborative and reflexive environment (e.g. wellness activities, stress relief and work–life balance). This chapter also describes the main effects of the training programme on participants, gathered through interviews at the end of the training sessions.
  • University libraries fighting fake news: an analysis of the knowledge and practices of Portuguese librarians
    Publication . Sanches, Tatiana; Antunes, ML; Lopes, Carlos
    Problems with fake news are an emerging subject that has been debated in many sectors of society. Libraries are no exception, and particularly university libraries have been taking a stand against this new reality and seeking to combat it, especially through information literacy training programs. Several studies have already concluded that training that soaks critical thinking in the use of information can benefit users; it enables them to strengthen their strategies for distinguishing informational truth from fake news, misinformation, deceived, or misleading information. Inspired by research carried out in Spain, this study seeks to understand what knowledge Portuguese librarians have about this subject and what strategies are being prepared or implemented by academic libraries in Portugal to combat fake news and misinformation. For this purpose, a questionnaire is applied and addressed to the 172 Portuguese academic libraries registered in a national directory of libraries. The questionnaire comprises data aggregated in four sections: library identification; characterization of knowledge about the subject; good practices in the fight against fake news; and a final open question. Seventy-three libraries answered, representing 43% of the universe under analysis. The results show a thorough knowledge of the issue by librarians, but still incipient actions regarding practices that directly address the fight against fake news, through information literacy training.
