Publication Open Access Towards the digital transformation: are portuguese organizations in this way?2019-03 - Santos-Pereira, Carla; Moreira, Fernando; Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, NatérciaDigital transformation is increasingly an element to be considered in the new paradigm of organizations. This transformation increases business opportunities and open a window for new approaches to the same business, both internally and externally, including changes in business processes and relationships with the organization’s stakeholders. Due of this, several concepts like digital transformation and enablers among others have emerged, and occurred in this new era. Being this in mind, it is fundamental to see if organizations in Portugal are already living in the aforementioned digital transformation or if they are aware of the need to adapt to this new reality. Thus, the objective of this research is to perceive the state of the art of Portuguese organizations in light of digital transformation.Publication Restricted Access Collaborative Learning supported by mobile devices: A case study in Portuguese High Education Institutions2016 - Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, Natércia; Moreira, Fernando; Santos-Pereira, CarlaCollaborative learning has been getting more importance in educational environment as one type of mobile learning application. In this learning environment there are a shift of learning approach, i.e. in a traditional approach the focus is on the teacher and in static and repetitive contents, oppositely with a collaborative learning the learn is centered in the students where they have a critical apprehension of contents that goes beyond the classroom, students could learning in different places. Learning supported by mobile technologies is becoming a new approach towards education, and it is single in the way that offers opportunities to learn anywhere and anytime. This paper introduces the foundations of collaborative learning supported by mobile technologies as well as presenting and analysing the evolution of collaborative learning supported by mobile devices in Portuguese (North region) Higher Education Institutions between 2009/2010 and 2014/2015.Publication Open Access Collaborative Learning Supported by Mobile Devices: A Case Study in Portuguese High Education Institutions2016 - Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, Natércia; Moreira, Fernando; Santos-Pereira, CarlaCollaborative learning has been getting more importance in educational environment as one type of mobile learning application.

Companies that rely on/use such technologies and transform a significant part of their modus operandi, including operational and management, thus achieve digital transformation (DT), and their market value typically increases. Digital technologies—also called innovation accelerators—include, among many others, the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this circumstance, the main goals of this research are to understand how organizations are changing, what causes the change, and how different organizations work in practice “against” each other in the context of digital transformation. The research presented here involved 8183 companies, registered in the AICEP database of Portuguese companies, resulting in a sample of 93 with valid responses belonging to various sectors of activity. The statistical analysis used to identify the items that made up six defined dimensions: (1) Strategic Vision, (2) Culture of Innovation, (3) Know-how and Intellectual Property, (4) Digital Capabilities, (5) Strategic Alignment and (6) Technology assets was Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The six dimensions make it easier to compare one business to others, even whether they are in similar stages of growth in terms of DT or within the same activity sector. The research demonstrates that to participate in DT inside an organization, various hard and soft skills are needed for the distinct aspects of the process. The findings suggest the high level of diversity and the necessity for a comprehensive strategy to handle businesses’ complexity, where leadership plays a crucial role. The research additionally shows how a variety of capabilities must be used to implement, evaluate, and monitor specific requirements in a particular environment to achieve DT.Publication Open Access Convenção sobre os direitos da criança: Conhecimento e cumprimento2018 - Tomás, Sérgio Tenreiro; Nascimento, Daniela; Carvalho, Sónia de; Carvalho, Olívia da Conceição; Durão, Natércia; Castilhos, Daniela Serra; Castilhos, Daniela Serra; Matos, André; Alves, Dora Resende; Santos-Pereira, CarlaOs direitos das crianças devem ser conhecidos na 1.ª pessoa pelas próprias crianças e pelos mais diretos educadores, onde se incluem os pais e os professores. Em torno desta ideia formou-se um grupo de investigação na Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique (UPT), das áreas do Direito, Educação, Psicologia e Estatística, que pretende desenvolver um trabalho cujo principal objetivo é aferir o nível de conhecimento e cumprimento dos direitos das crianças, enquanto destinatárias, do elenco de direitos previstos na Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança. O estudo do conhecimento dos direitos pela criança exige uma avaliação da aplicação efetiva da Convenção no ordenamento jurídico que permita apurar se os Estados, envolvidos neste estudo, têm tomado todas as medidas adequadas à consecução deste propósito e, no caso de os resultados do estudo revelarem ser necessário, propor as medidas ajustadas para a prossecução do mesmo. Como objetivos específicos pretende avaliar-se o conhecimento dos direitos das crianças pelas próprias e pelos seus educadores (pais e professores), com o propósito de formular diretrizes de formação com a ulterior avaliação do seu impacto.Publication Open Access Are university professors of the South American countries preparing students for digital transformation?2018 - Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, Natércia; Moreira, Fernando; Santos-Pereira, CarlaThe higher education provided by universities plays a fundamental role in transforming society in all its dimensions, namely teaching and educational management. The combination of higher education and the increase of mobile technologies (one of the pillars of digital transformation) leads to an increase in training opportunities and the development of new teaching methods. Due to this, several concepts from the e-learning, m-learning to ulearning appeared. Therefore, it is critical to understand whether users (students and professors) are receptive and aware to adapt to this new paradigm before deciding to implement teaching-learning methods based on mobile technology. In this context, the aim of this paper is to investigate the perception if the South American universities professors are using Mobile Learning with gamification and augmented reality apps and how they can be used to promote student’s engagement inside and outside of the classroom, in special to prepare the students for digital transformation.
