Este estudo analisa as concepções de competência digital docente defendidas em referenciais elaborados por Portugal (GEPE), Espanha (INTEF), França, União Europeia (UE), UNESCO e pela International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Esta análise tem como objetivos (i) caraterizar a estrutura de competências apresentada pelos diversos referenciais, (ii) identificar especificidades dos referenciais e (iii) compreender as principais linhas de ação dos referenciais. A metodologia adotada foi a de análise de conteúdo de caráter indutivo, suportada por uma grelha de recolha de dados categorizada segundo o objetivo do estudo. Como resultados, apresentamos uma análise comparativa entre esses referenciais, que categoriza, especifica e identifica as principais linhas de orientações das competências digitais docentes. A relevância do estudo funda-se no atual contexto da sociedade que coloca a educação e o professor no foco de uma agenda emergente que se traduz na necessidade de orientações para uma formação contínua do profissional docente que desenvolva as competências digitais geradoras de novas práticas pedagógicas. A investigação pode contribuir com conhecimento científico para projetos futuros de políticas públicas, de países que desejam desenvolver referenciais educativos, ou para instituições de formação inicial e contínua de professores.

This study builds on previous research carried out in 2021 on the self-perception of elementary school teachers in Portugal regarding their digital competences for the pedagogical integration of technologies in educational contexts. In order to verify this perception throughout the country, we extended the research to include teachers from the Autonomous Region of the Azores (ARA), considering the following objectives: (i) to verify teachers’ digital competences; (ii) to identify their levels of digital competence; and (iii) to identify the level of influence of training on the categorization of teachers’ level of digital competence. This is an exploratory study that used an online questionnaire based on the digital competences in Area 2 of the DigCompEdu framework. Two hundred seven teachers took part in this study. The results revealed that teachers seem to feel capable of using technology but need to improve their ability to adapt digital resources for student learning. The global mapping of digital competences will make it possible to verify these competences, these attitudes and abilities, and the integration of ICT into teaching practices as well as helping to outline future projects and guidelines in the area of teacher training in the ARA in particular.

Este estudo objetivou relatar as concepções do professor sobre o uso das TIC na educação e a mudança dessas concepções após uma formação docente pautada na vivência de modelos pedagógicos, habilidades e organização que pudessem ser incorporados às práticas docentes. Para atendimento do objetivo do estudo foram comparadas as respostas de dois questionários aplicados a 36 docentes para verificar a utilização das TIC em seu cotidiano escolar. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria adota as tecnologias, mas ainda não sabe integrá-las à prática pedagógica. Após a formação recebida, as professoras apresentaram mudança de concepção e intenção de modificar a prática adotada, incorporando as TIC e as estratégias ativas em suas aulas.

This paper considers the analysis of concept maps utilized as a learning tool in disciplines dealing with immunological responses in two undergraduate Health programs. In total, 48 concept maps were assessed regarding their propositions and structure. The clarity of the propositions was analyzed by using the Propositional Clarity Table and they were classified as adequate propositions (AP) and inadequate propositions (IP). In 48 concept maps, 648 propositions were analyzed in order to determine semantic clarity and conceptual mistakes. Assessments revealed that 69 % of the propositions were classified as adequate and 31 % as inadequate. All the maps analyzed were categorized as showing a network structure. However, when correlating the connections established among the several types of response by the immune system, it was found that despite being structured as a network, only 31.2 % of the concept maps indicated conceptual relationships between the modes of immune response. 27% of the concept maps were made with a high rate of proficiency. Upon the results of our analysis, we realized that there is still a long way in developing the mapping strategy. For us, this low percentage is related to the way undergraduates assimilate the mapping processes. This is a challenge which also reveals limits and weaknesses that may be addressed in future studies. It was noted that results bring into focus that the undergraduates’ learning of concepts associated with the bases of the immunological responses occurred in a meaningful way.
