2° dia de seminário sobre Habilidades Diretivas: Zedjiga, Miriam e Rocio

2° dia de seminário sobre habilidades diretivas

A primeira do dia a se apresentar foi Zedjiga Aidrous, que abordou o tema Motivação. Ela foi bem concisa e objetiva na sua apresentação. Gostei da delimitação do tema (a motivação na equipe de trabalho). A motivação não é um conceito ou um conceito para um único domínio, é mais uma cruz conceito procurado em todas as áreas e por todas as pessoas.
Zedjiga abordou o tema da Motivação

Ela falou sobre os tipos de motivação, na pirâmide de Maslow, a motivation intrínseca e extrinseca. Eu fui um dos seus avaliadores junto com Camila Canellas. A dinâmica era boa, mas ficamos um pouco em dúvida de como fazê-la. Na minha opinião, faltou um pouco de exemplos e mais dinâmica na apresentação, mas ela mostrou um bom domínio do tema.


Miriam e sua apresentação sobre Criatividade

A segunda a fazer sua apresentação foi Miriam Sorolla. Ela falou sobre criatividade. No começo tivemos um momento de relaxamento, depois ela começou explicando sobre o que era a criatividade e fizemos muitas dinâmicas que eu gostei muito. Também aprendemos sobre o método criativo, que significa um sistema coerente de conhecimentos que podem enfrentar um novo problema.

No final aprendemos um pouco sobre Brainstorming, e o professor Domingo nos deu vários exemplos durante a exposição da aula de Miriam. Ta;vez por isso o tempo dela ficou bastante curto e não fizemos todas as dinâmicas que ela gostaria de fazer.


A terceira, e a última do dia a fazer sua apresentação foi Rocio, com o tema do trabalho em equipe. Ela soube administrar muito bem o tempo, fez uma ótima dinâmica e mostrou um vídeo com nós alunos falando sobre o trabalho que fizemos em Poitiers e em Lisboa.

Investigate one of the technologies for adoption in greater depth. Daniel Eastmond

Aula do professor Daniel Eastmond 



MOBILES                                      


Why did you choose this technology?
 
Because in 3 or 5 years from now, mobile technology will have a major impact especially in developing countries. In developed countries this is already happening.
By 2018 Brazil, Russia, India and China will be important centers of technological innovation (says Chartered Management Institute)[1], and I believe that investing in mobile devices will have a strong impact on those countries.

In my country, Brazil, due to a communicative culture of the people, it is one of the countries that most stands out in the smartphone segment. According to IDC, we are now the 5th best market for these products, and by 2016, we will be 4th[2]. According to that, Brazil was responsible for 1.8% of the total volume of smartphones sales in the world, and it will increase to 4.4% by 2016. Smartphones have become so important to Brazilians consumers that 27% of Brazilians would rather stay without TV than without their smartphones – and in a culture where ‘telenovelas’ (soap operas) are predominant (Google reports on the use of smartphone in Brazil, May/2012)[3]

The mobile world is changing quickly: mobiles assume nowadays the function of the notebook. Smartphones have become the handset for e-mails, digital chats, streaming video and use the web with high speed.  They also have cameras that rival domestic cameras and they also make connections with people. It is certain that in 5 years the smartphones will be much more sophisticated and have more functions than what we see nowadays.

Obviously, we cannot predict exactly how the evolution of mobile phones will be, but observing the current trends and their use for educational institutions, give us a good idea of what is coming in the near future.

What are the possibilities, opportunities, and advantages of this technology (for teaching, learning, and creative inquiry)?


The use of mobile devices in education has created a new concept, the called Mobile Learning or m-Learning. In Brazil, we use the term 'aprendizagem com mobilidade'. As we say in Portuguese, ‘mobilidade' (mobility) is characterized by the use of mobile devices, using the technological convergence that offers communication and instant information via text, image, video, and management of resources, such as calendar and news, through internet and web. In addition, another concept we used to see a lot nowadays is ‘ubiquity’ which means to be everywhere at once: ubiquitous, the apparent ubiquity of information systems integration and process. Thus, mobile devices generate mobility and that, in return, enable the ubiquity.

For what I have seen in Brazil, smartphones and tablets are still in a process of experimentation within schools. Implementing them in schools will be a complex challenge. Although they are already becoming easier to use, enabling collaboration among people near and far, extending the notion of school space, and integrating the students and teachers of different countries, languages ​​and cultures. Therefore, the mobility of a smartphone is essential for students who live in poorer areas and dont have a TV, PC or even electricity at home. Mobile phone, for instance, allows the students to constantly keep in contact with the educational institution and they can also access the services of secretaries, receive or send materials and interact with peers and teachers.

For my use of smartphones, I can make a list of mobile tools that are useful and which I use in my classes, but there are many other mobile tools to make our classes more dynamic and creative:


       My Class Schedule - Application for the students organize their study schedules, notes and all the details of their course.
       Wikipedia - Largest online collaborative encyclopedia.
       Google Earth - Effective for geography lessons.
       Google Sky Map - Helps to identify celestial objects such as stars, planets and constellations.
       Youtube – Has a huge variety of videos, channels and it is easy for posting new videos made by students.

What are the challenges or barriers that must be overcome for this technology to be widely adopted?

I chose this technology because it is exactly more widespread worldwide. That characteristic can make mobile devices potential tools for educational purposes.
There are so many smartphones in use worldwide as people registered on Facebook, for example. A survey released by Strategy Analytics[4] revealed that, in the third quarter of 2012, the amount of active devices has reached more than 1 billion users. It took 16 years for the industry of mobiles reach 1.038 billion working units. The smartphones emerged in 1996, when Nokia introduced the Nokia Communicator[5].

When I started my university course, it was impossible for me to have a mobile. It was really expensive in my country. But their prices have dropped in the past 12 months and several smartphone models became available, increasing their sales in Brazil and in many other regions such as Asia and the Pacific. If they are more accessible, using them in large scale in schools will be easier too, I guess.

Obviously, there are also limiting factors in the use of mobile technologies for education, and I faced some of them while trying to use them in schools:

·         Technological limitations: small screen, low resolution, slow processing, low storage capacity; incompatibility between platforms.

·         Pedagogical limitations: limited viewing space, distraction of attention, problems with visual memory, low resolution makes them difficult to understand, fragmentation of content, etc.

But despite all those limitations, we can see more positive factors than negative ones.



What are the most promising and innovative examples?

Given the mobility scenario, we can identify some factors regarding the innovative use of mobile devices in the educational area:
·         Improve resources for learning (Students can count on a device for performing tasks, take note of their ideas, search information on the internet, digital photos and many other features);
·         Provide access to content anywhere and at anytime;
·         Increase the opportunities for accessing contents, enhancing and encouraging the use of services provided by the institution;
·         Expand the learning strategies available through new technologies that support both formal and informal learning;
·         Provide ways for developing innovative methods of teaching, using computing resources and mobility.

The link bellow is an example of innovative use of smartphones by a Brazilian teacher, José Carlos Antonio, who chose to encourage the educational use of mobiles in his classroom (I wish I could describe it, but it would be really extensive, so I’m just posting it):




Does the Horizon report accurately and fully address this technology according to your experience or knowledge of it?


Yes, that's what we are already living as individuals and as educators. Smartphones and tablets are dominating the market nowadays. The reasons are obvious: we can access the internet, listen to music, watch videos, take pictures, edit pictures, play games, run applications and play with those advanced devices, and the good thing is that they fit in the palm of our hands. There is also the touchscreen function that offers a sense of comfort and a greater command over the device. Some years ago we were not able to do it.
Those devices are becoming the dreams of the new generation. I confess that when the companies started selling smartphones and tablets I hadn’t given the value they should have, but over the years, the potential of those small devices rose enormously.

Those technologies are already changing our lives and our way of thinking and seeing the world. As an example, the GPS (Global Positioning System,) far much more than a digital map, tells us where we are, the distance to where we want to go, the way we should go and how long it will take etc.

Thus, as predicted the Horizon Report, with all those features, it is impossible not to think about the potential of mobiles for education. They are now part of our lives. It is incredible to see people on their way home, in the subway, on the bus, walking and connected with ‘world’ through their mobiles.


How does this technology apply to your career aspirations?


Mobile computing has emerged as an innovative technology for education and it would be interesting to invest in knowing this technology. It will be extremely important for me to learn how to build educational applications for mobile devices. Thus, a major step for me would be to create applications for adults who are learning through their mobile devices. Adults are usually engaged in travelling to different locations, and it would be interesting to provide them learning scenarios that they can use for learning and searching for information easily. This type of work would certainly add some value to my career.


By the experience I have as a teacher and especially in areas with low human development, I can honestly say that mobile devices have the potential to change drastically our view of how people learn and teach. Mobile devices - and I include the smartphones and tablets - are what we call ‘portable lives’: such devices give easy, fast and free access to a much greater volume of information that humanity has never seen. If we understand that those devices increase our cognitive ability, for sure they completely change the way we teach and learn.  


Therefore, mobile technology should support education. Mobile devices allow us to imagine innovative and transformative educational activities for teaching and learning processes. Mobile technologies will make the studies a part of day-by-day activities and we are not going to realize that we are studying.

Aprendendo com SPSS, MAXQDA e ATLAS.ti



Agora que estamos em processo de trabalho das nossas teses, estamos buscando ao máximo conhecer melhor sobre a metodologia científica e o método estátistico.

O professor José Cué, do México, nos dá aula sobre investigaçao científica e principalmente está nos ajudando muito com o processo de elaboração das nossas tese, no que concerne a quando formos fazer a análise do dados que conseguirmos.

Em classe, j;a estamos estudando a trabalhar melhor com o SPSS, mas hoje acabei estudando um pouco sobre dois software de anális de dados qualitativos: o Atlas e o MAXQDA. Como aprendiz informal, buscquei vídeos e textos, como tutoriais que me ajudassem a entender melhor o manuseio desses dois softwares.

Abaixo registro um pouco do que vi:

Esse é um ótimo site sobre como usar o MAXQDA: http://www.maxqda.com/videos/coding#vid









Amanhã teremos prova DELE de Espanhol, e hoje comonão temos aula na UNED passarei o dia estudando  e revisando os conteúdos para a prova. Amanhã será o dia da prova escrita, e pretendo estar bem preparado para tal.

Hoje o dia é chuvoso aqui em Madrid, portanto, é melhor estar em casa e estudar. Algunss segredos básicos para a realização de uma boa prova que aprendi são:

- ter uma boa noite de sono no dia anterior da prova, uma alimentação equilibrada, manter a calma na hora da prova e estar totalmente descansado.


- também focar mais o estudo nas matérias que tem mais dificuldade (nesse caso na prova de áudio). É importante estar por dentro aos conteúdos que ajudem na preparação: informações, conteúdo confiável da internet, dicas, datas, locais, simulados e provas passadas (por isto tivemos aula com a professora Carolina, que nos ajudou bastante com os conteúdos).

Procurarei fazer uma vista rápida em todas as questões e quais são as de menor dificuldade e responda-as logo. Ainda tenho que escrever um texto para praticar a escrita no tempo hábil da prova. Hoje é o dia para responder questões com um nível de dificuldade maior. Esses detalhes são importantes na hora de ler e interpretar um texto.
