Publicação Acesso Aberto The Use of gamification for learning SCRUM: Findings from a case study with Information Systems Students2024-04-16 - Lopes, Filomena Castro; Fernandes, SandraGamification has emerged in higher education as an innovative approach that engages and stimulates student participation and active learning, through the integration of game elements in the learning experience. This study presents a case study in the field of Information Systems, based on the use of gamification, through the use of Lego bricks, to learn SCRUM. The participants in the study include 12 first-year students, enrolled in the curricular unit of Information Systems, in the academic year of 2022/2023, at a Portuguese Higher Education Institution. The objective of the study is to analyze student’s understanding of the SCRUM approach, in regard to: (1) how students understand the different roles of SCRUM and the objective of each ceremony; and (2) how students understand the structure of the SCRUM framework. Findings from the study show that students who engaged in the gamified learning environment demonstrated higher comprehension of SCRUM roles, scoring significantly better on assessments compared to their non-participating peers. In general, students felt that the gamification experience achieved its objectives. Future work aims to bring the game closer to the reality of the software development process, making it more aligned with the lego4scrum methodology approach.Publicação Acesso Aberto Uma visão integrada para as oportunidades da transicão digital [artigo de imprensa]2022-01-23 - Lopes, Filomena CastroNos dois últimos anos, temos assistido a um aparecimento de oportunidades para o emprego nas áreas dos Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informação (STI).

Há já muito tempo que é objeto de estudo e discussão, envolvendo académicos e decisores políticos. No entanto, transformou-se nos últimos anos numa imperativa realidade, impulsionada pelos avanços tecnológicos, pela globalização e pela recente crise pandémica. [...]Publicação Acesso Restrito Development of creativity and critical thinking skills: Findings from students participating in a PBL experience2023-07 - Fernandes, Sandra; Lopes, Filomena CastroFinding ways to promote the development of skills needed for a successful transition of students from higher education to the labour market is an important issue that needs to be considered by teachers, when organizing the teaching and learning process. Active learning methods, in particular, Project Based Learning (PBL) have proven to be an effective teaching learning approach, bringing the reality of work to the classroom and thus improving the development of student skills. Creativity and critical thinking have been pointed out, in different studies, as one of the most relevant and necessary skills in the labour market since they support the development of societies. In addition, the increasing digitization of human work and the advancement of artificial intelligence reinforce the importance of developing these skills in students, since they are skills that are more difficult to automate and become one of the most valued by the job market. This paper aims to analyse how creativity and critical thinking are developed in the context of a PBL experience. The paper begins with an understanding of what is meant by creativity and critical thinking and then discusses the development of this competence through PBL. It ends with the analysis of a survey applied to students of the 3rd year of the Management degree, within the scope of the curricular unit called Information Systems for Management, which aimed to i) analyse how the teacher, throughout the project (PBL), contributes to the development of these competences and ii) to assess whether the students felt that PBL contributes to the development of these competences.Publicação Acesso Aberto Transformação digital ou estratégia digital? A procura de casos [artigo de imprensa]2023-07-06 - Lopes, Filomena CastroO tema não é novo. Já em 1990 Henderson e Venkantraman alertavam para as possibilidades que as tecnologias de informação (TI) ofereciam para a transformação das organizações. O potencial reconhecido às TI permitiria, segundo estes autores, que as organizações transformassem os seus negócios e obtivessem novas fontes de vantagens competitivas. [...]Publicação Acesso Aberto EHIS Method©: Entrepreneurship human interaction skills2017 - Sousa, Cristina; Magalhães, Miguel; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Lopes, Filomena Castro; Fernandes, SandraThe purpose of this paper is to describe the EHIS Method© (Entrepreneurship Human Interactions Skills), an innovative entrepreneurship teaching and learning method developed and used at the Entrepreneurship course at Portucalense University (UPT), a private higher education institution in Portugal. EHIS Method© draws on insights from the recent literature on entrepreneurship education and is applied to teach Entrepreneurship in several study programs at UPT, such as Psychology, Social Education, Tourism, Economics, Law, Management, Informatics, Management and Information Systems and Hospitality Management. The students are grouped into teams and challenged to develop an entrepreneurship project, which consists of four different steps: (1) the idea discovery/generation; (2) from the idea to the business model; (3) from the business model to the business plan; (4) from the business plan to the preparation of the application to the Net UPT (business incubator of UPT). Throughout the EHIS Method©, students have to successfully go through a variety of assessment elements, held at different times, encompassing different activities and skills and involving different types of evaluators: (a) teachers/mentors; (b) university professors and (c) potential investors.Publicação Acesso Aberto Information management and knowledge management: are portuguese organizations feeling the difference?2010 - Morais, Paula; Lopes, Filomena CastroAlthough there are some works trying to clarify the difference between Information Management, IM, and Knowledge management, KM, the distinction between those concepts is far from being well understood in the business community. This lack of clarity increases with the fact that some KM literature authors use the two terms indiscriminately, others argue that KM includes IM, and still others define them independently, but relating them. For instance, some authors say that KM has two ages, the first corresponding to IM, aiming to store, explore and transfer explicit knowledge; the second aiming to explore, improve communication and innovation, focusing the need to manage tacit knowledge, moving from transmit to learn, becoming a social activity and not only a technological one. Nevertheless there is a growing interest in KM and organizations say they are doing it, and even in many large, and some small, organizations a new corporate executive is emerging – the chief knowledge officer, CKO. Are they different from the chief information officers, CIO? Are organizations really making KM? Is there, in practice, any difference between KM and IM? To provide some answers to these questions, this paper presents empirical evidence of how IM/KM is practiced in some Portuguese organizations. Based on an exploratory study conducted in four Portuguese organizations, the paper describes the practices that are being developed in those organizations, discussing them in order to answer the questions: How do organizations interpret the concepts of IM/KM, do they think they are different? Which IM/KM processes they develop? Which computer based systems are used to support those processes? Who leads IM/KM and which skills are necessary to those executives?Publicação Acesso Aberto 30 Anos passados … [artigo de imprensa]2021-08-04 - Lopes, Filomena CastroEm 1990 Henderson & Venkantraman alertavam, num artigo que se tornou referência, “Strategic Alignment : A Model for Organizational Transformation via Information Technology” que a transformação das organizações emergia como um tema importante devido essencialmente ao desenvolvimento das tecnologias de informação e das possibilidades que ofereciam.Publicação Acesso Aberto Implementing a Business Information System to improve the quality assurance mechanisms in a Portuguese higher education institution2019 - Lopes, Filomena Castro; Morais, PaulaHigher education institutions (HEIs) face, nowadays, enormous challenges to be competitive in a global world. The competitive environment means that HEIs, like other organizations, must be concerned with evaluating and monitoring their strategic objectives. Business Information (BI) systems combine different sources of information, from different information systems (IS), with analytical tools to present competitive information to planners and decision makers. In this way, BI systems emerge as tools that allow institutions to create future competitive advantages. This paper presents a case study of a Portuguese HEI, describing the implementation of a BI system to support the quality assurance system, and to improve its future strategy. This study focuses on one of the three HEI mission vectors: Teaching and Learning. As a result of this work, it was possible to parameterize the BI system, and to identify the digital information missing in the IS, and the necessary developments to collect it.Publicação Acesso Aberto Covid dá um empurrão à transformação digital [artigo de imprensa]2020-05-01 - Lopes, Filomena CastroO papel dos sistemas de informação no suporte à gestão tem-se tornado cada vez mais importante.
