Quality evaluation in early childhood education is fundamental to contribute to children’s sound future life. In this context, benchmarks to evaluate the quality of contexts has been developed, based on qualitative research methods such as interviews, field notes, observations among others. The resulting data allows the teacher to redefine strategies to improve the overall education process. One of these method...
The Internet growth allowed an explosion of service provision in the cloud. The cloud paradigm dictates the users` information migration from the desktop into the network allowng access averyhere, anytime. This paradigm provided a adequate environment to the emergency of online storage services, such as Amazon S3. This kind of services allows storing digital data in a transparent way, in a pay-as-you-go model. ...
In the field of early childhood education, some benchmarks to evaluate the quality of contexts has been developed. One of these benchmarks, developed in the scope of the Effective Early Learning Project, uses the Child Tracking Observation Schedule. The observer records his perception about the concentration, persistence, motivation, energy, satisfaction, complexity and creativity, reaction time and language, t...
Several decades of research clearly demonstrate that high-quality, developmentally appropriate, early childhood programs, produce short and long-term positive effects on children’s cognitive and social development. Research with the Leuven Involvement Scale has shown that the levels of children’s involvement are a predictor of quality of learning. An involved child gets extremely fascinated and absorbed by the ...
As políticas educativas em Portugal têm incentivado a integração de novos públicos no ensino superior, criando novas oportunidades pelo alargamento da oferta formativa, através de Cursos de Especialização Tecnológica [CET]. Os CET foram criados como forma de colmatar as elevadas taxas de abandono escolar ao nível do ensino secundário, potenciando a entrada dos jovens no mercado de trabalho. A criação destes cur...
The intensive operation of constantly growing, heterogeneous networks is a challenging task. Besides the increase in size and complexity, data networks have become a critical factor for the success of many organizations. During the last decade, many network management architectures where developed and standardized, aiming at the definition of an open environment to control and optimize its operation. Many of th...
Due to strict regulatory, ethic and legal issues, Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems have been mainly deployed in federated health care scenarios. This situation has been hindering the wide adoption of EHRs, contributing to delaying the establishment of a competitive market where contributions from different providers could take full advantage of information exchange and regular practitioners’ collaboration...
We want to create a working tool for mathematics teachers and a corresponding learning tool for students, namely a graphical simulator of mathematical algorithms (GraSMa). To achieve it we try two different strategies. We started by annotate manually the original algorithm with inspector functions. Now we are testing a new approach that aims to automatically annotate the original code with inspector functions. ...
