The study emerged in the context of the curricular unit of Education by Art inserted in the Master’s degree in PE Education (Pré-escolar) and 1st CEB (Ciclo do Ensino Básico), with the sharing of students. The activities provided in the EP and the 1st CEB contribute to the formation of children in the construction of their own knowledge and knowledge, stimulating curiosity, imagination and creativity; hence the role played by Education by Art, an ideal vehicle for the autonomy and self-education of children and students. We highlight two objectives of the study: to associate it with the promotion of self-education and to justify the dimension of Art therapy in school and non-school contexts. We were able to obtain a qualitative and quantitative methodology through a sample of 151 teachers and students from the higher education institution to which we belong. Fifty-six individuals (37% of the sample) answered the survey, via Google Forms, a utilitarian model, but with some constraints in reading some dimensions. We have recorded some considerable results: Artistic Education still has a strong impact on the educational system; Art Education conquers space in a journey where interdisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity constitute an irreversible path; Art therapy obtains a high appreciation from respondents, deserving of an in-depth study. RCAAP (Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal) and Google Scholar were the capital platforms for the solidification of the theoretical foundation. We consider a fundamental conclusion: the artistic dimensions will be more visible with a basic positional reinforcement (educators, teachers and groupings) through a solid collaboration in the Arts/Expressions in order to reach a high level in Education for Art, moment, among others, in which the child will feel the benefits of self-education.

The present work is an observational study recording the teachers’ and students’ attitudes from the Pan-Hellenic Educational Robotics (ER) competition. The study investigates the benefits of students’ involvement with robotics regarding skills, motivation and learning. Additionally, it is researched whether ER should be introduced in the compulsory curricula. A qualitative methodology was used with teachers. Although the sample was relatively small, the results were quite homogeneous showing a very high level of engagement and motivation of teachers and students. A mainly quantitative methodology was used to gather data from students. The results show that there are numerous benefits for students: they seem to increase their collaboration, problem solving and creativity skills; understand STEM concepts in computer science and engineering, and gaining programming knowledge in particular. Also, most of the teachers and many of the students consider that ER should be part of the compulsory curriculum. Under certain conditions, ER could be an essential part of the school program, as it can bring together young people from all over the world to learn and develop important 21st century skills.

The global public health crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that digital competence in education is no longer an option, but a necessity. Online communication with friends using social networks is an activity in which young people very frequently and at increasingly early ages engage. This article presents the results of a study analyses digital-competence levels in the area of communication of Spanish basic-education students (aged 12–16) and establishes whether online communication with friends and the use of social media impact it. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. The sample comprised 807 students, and data collection was based on a problem-solving test. Findings show that students who use online communication with their friends very often and that those who use social networks a lot have lower levels of digital competence. Education centres should reflect on this in order to implement curricular programs that may strengthen this type of competence.

Abstract Background: Organisations nowadays operate in a very dynamic environment, and therefore, their ability of continuously adjusting the strategic plan to the new conditions is a must for achieving their strategic objectives. BSC is a well-known methodology for measuring performances enabling organizations to learn how well they are doing. In this paper, “BSC for IS” will be proposed in order to measure the IS impact on the achievement of organizations’ business goals. Objectives: The objective of this paper is to present the original procedure which is used to enhance the BSC methodology in planning the optimal targets of IS performances value in order to maximize the organization's effectiveness. Methods/Approach: The method used in this paper is the quantitative methodology - linear programming. In the case study, linear programming is used for optimizing organization’s strategic performance. Results: Results are shown on the example of a case study national park. An optimal performance value for the strategic objective has been calculated, as well as an optimal performance value for each DO (derived objective). Results are calculated in Excel, using Solver Add-in. Conclusions: The presentation of methodology through the case study of a national park shows that this methodology, though it requires a high level of formalisation, provides a very transparent performance calculation.


In this article, the main approaches concerning the problem of leadership traits formation as studied in both national and foreign literature are viewed. There are given results of research on leadership traits in students at technical specialties and humanities in the course of their training at a higher education institution in their connection with emotive intellect. The peculiarities of leadership traits in the tested groups with different level of emotive intellect, as well as a connection between leadership traits and emotive intellect are determined. The highest indicators according to the results of the research are demonstrated by a group of students of technical specialties with a high level of emotional intelligence, which indicates the ability to manage their emotions and behavior, the ability to solve problems. They demonstrate a high level of organizational skills, ability to work with a group. Their actions are aimed at achieving goals. The lowest rates according to the results of the study were found in a group of students of humanities with a low level of emotional intelligence. In difficult situations, it is difficult for them to find a way out. They do not know how to control the work of their comrades, to find common ground with people. The relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership skills in students of technical and humanities has been studied. A group of technical students with a high level of emotional intelligence found positive correlations between emotional intelligence and all scales of leadership qualities. There are no correlations between emotional intelligence and leadership qualities in the group of humanities students with a low level of emotional intelligence. In other groups of students, certain correlations have been established between emotional intelligence and leadership qualities.

El ser humano siempre ha puesto su curiosidad e ingenio para mejorar su calidad de vida, siendo la comunicación una de las áreas más destacadas debido a su notable rol socializador. La convergencia de los avances en electrónica, informática y comunicaciones transmutó en la telemática y en la creación de la Internet, que ha interconectado al mundo y todos los ámbitos del acontecer social. La educación, proceso netamente social, ha sido impactada por el advenimiento de la Internet desde la década de los noventa, modificando no sólo el tipo de recursos utilizados en el proceso didáctico de facilitación y adquisición de aprendizajes, por sus dos actores protagónicos: docentes y estudiantes, respectivamente; sino también, la cultura de las instituciones educativas, las cuales como en el caso Venezolano, por imperio de la ley, deben incorporar en su misión y planes de desarrollo organizacional, las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC). Transcurridas dos décadas de haber sido establecido como prioridad el uso de la internet en las instituciones educativas, ergo en las Universidades Venezolanas, en el presente artículo se analizan, bajo la visión de los mundos Popperianos (Popper, 1986), dos instituciones universitarias, una pública y otra privada; para determinar si el uso didáctico de las TIC responde a una expectativa o a una aspiración y si ésta, es personal o institucional. Se evidenció una insatisfacción de la expectativa legal decantada en una aspiración institucional, dada la existencia de una generalizada predisposición negativa de docentes y estudiantes hacia el uso de las TIC como recurso para mediar procesos didácticos en la sociedad actual, lo cual resalta el importante papel del componente afectivo personal, en este caso la afectividad digital (Goncalves, 2015), para el logro de las metas que sobre dicho uso se plantea una institución de educación universitaria.Palabras clave: TIC, Uso Didáctico, Educación Universitaria, Afectividad Digital.Uso Didático das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação nas Universidades: aspiração ou expectativa?ResumoO ser humano sempre colocou sua curiosidade e engenho para melhorar sua qualidade de vida, sendo a comunicação uma das áreas mais destacadas devido ao seu notável papel socializador. A convergência dos avanços em eletrônica, informática e comunicações, transmutou-se em telemática e na criação da Internet, que interconectou o mundo e todas as áreas de eventos sociais. A educação, um processo puramente social, tem sido impactada pelo advento da Internet desde os anos noventa, modificando não apenas o tipo de recursos utilizados no processo didático de facilitação e aquisição de aprendizagem, por seus dois principais atores: professores e estudantes, respectivamente; mas também a cultura das instituições de ensino, que, como no caso venezuelano, por imperativo da lei, deve incorporar as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) em sua missão e planos de desenvolvimento organizacional. Duas décadas após de ter sido establecido como una prioridade o uso da Internet nas instituições de ensino, portanto nas universidades venezuelanas, neste artigo analisamos, baixo a visão dos mundos Popperianos (Popper, 1986), duas instituições universitárias, uma pública e outra privada; para determinar se o uso didático das TIC responde a uma expectativa ou aspiração, e se é pessoal ou institucional. Foi encontrada uma insatisfação com a expectativa legal estabelecida em uma aspiração institucional, dada a existência de uma predisposição negativa generalizada de professores e estudantes para o uso das TIC como recurso para mediar processos didáticos na sociedade atual, destacando o importante papel do componente afetivo pessoal, neste caso da afetividade digital (Goncalves, 2015), para a consecução dos objetivos que sobre esse uso surge duma instituição de ensino universitário.Palavras chave: TIC, Uso Didático, Educação Universitária, Afetividade Digital.Didactic Usage of Information and Communication Technologies in Universities: ¿aspiration or expectation?AbstractHuman being has always been curious with all its wit about improving its quality of life, being communication one of the most featured areas due to its remarkable socializing role. The convergence of advances in Electronics, Informatic and Communications transmuted into Telematic and the creation of Internet, which has interconnected the world and all social environments. Education, truly a social process, has been impacted by the arrival of the Internet since the 90s, modifying not only the type of resources used in the didactic process of facilitation and acquisition of knowledge involving their two main protagonists: teachers and students, respectively; but also the culture of the educational institutions, which, in the Venezuelan case, by law, must incorporate in their mission and organizational developing plans, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). After two decades of establishing the use of Internet as a priority in educational institutions, mostly in Venezuelan universities, in the present article two higher education institutions are analyzed using the Popperian vision (Popper, 1986): one private and one public; to determine if the didactic usage of ICT responds to an expectation or to an aspiration, and as such, if it is personal or institutional. A dissatisfaction of the legal expectation was evidenced, which turned in an institutional aspiration, due to the existence of a negative and general predisposition of teachers and students towards the use of ICT as resources for the mediation of didactic processes in today’s society, which highlights the important role of the personal affective component; in this case, digital affectivity (Goncalves, 2015) for the accomplishment of goals that a higher education institution has established.Keywords: ICT, Didactic Usage, Higher Education, Digital Affectivity.

The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of mathematics teachers’ practice of authentic evaluation strategies and tools in the basic education stage in the Sultanate of Oman. The researcher prepared a questionnaire to measure the degree of use of the authentic evaluation strategies and tools. The sample consisted of (266) teachers where (211) teachers from the first cycle and (55) teachers from the second cycle of basic education schools in the province of Muscat. After statistical processing using averages, frequencies and tests, the results of the study showed that the teachers’ use of authentic evaluation strategies and tools in both the first and second cycles in the basic education schools was high. The results showed that the strategies of self-evaluation and peer evaluation are the most widely used by the teachers. The strategy of evaluating the performance by the concept's maps obtained the least degree of use although it has a high level. The results also showed that there are statistically significant differences in the degree of practice the authentic evaluation strategies and these differences are in favor of the teachers who have an experience of more than ten years. The results showed no statistically significant differences among the teachers of both the first and second cycles in the practice of authentic evaluation strategies and tools. Consequently, the researcher recommended directing the institutions that are responsible for the preparation of new teachers to add training programs on authentic evaluation strategies and tools. The researcher also recommended conducting studies on the difficulties faced by teachers on the practice of all authentic evaluation strategies and tools in a balanced manner.
