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?

Associated with the diversity of students who access HE, the question arises of their academic skills and motivations, since the instituted numerus clausus system favors the increase in the percentage of students not placed in first option “course-institution” pairs. On the other hand, the implementation of quality assurance systems in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the increased requirements for accreditation of courses and research centers lead HEIs to be increasingly concerned with issues related to improving teaching-learning and training efficiency. HEIs therefore need instruments that allow them to better understand who their natural candidates are and what factors influence the academic success rate of students enrolled in their courses. With this information available, they will be able to act more precisely in the specific and more personalized follow-up of groups of students with characteristics of identified education path/academic results, as well as optimize their resources in the training offer and consequently in attracting students. The work reported in this paper aims to analyze, using a Business Intelligence (BI) system, the characteristics of students enrolled in the various courses of a Portuguese HEI, and to determine the influence of several factors on students' academic success. These factors include data related to students’ academic background prior to entering HE and sociodemographic data that will be crossed with information regarding students' performance along and in the completion of the HEI enrollment course. For this purpose, a sample of students enrolled in 1st cycle courses of the HEI between 2011 to 2019 was used, considering the following variables for the analysis: secondary school attended, admission regime and grade, gender, age, region of provenance, educational level and parents’ professional situation. These data were previously anonymized and correlated with data related to the students' performance during the course and employment situation at the end of the course. The QlikSense BI tool was used and the analysis of indicators and correlations carried out were made available through a performance monitoring system. The contribution of this work is two-fold. On the one hand, the study of the indicators and segmentation of students carried out within the scope of this project may serve as a basis for a better knowledge of the profiles of students of the target HEI and an understanding of the factors that influence the academic and professional success of students. With the knowledge obtained, the HEI will be able to more easily design a differentiating strategy for the enrolled students, taking into account their respective profiles and evidenced needs, improving the training offer and creating opportunities at curricular and extracurricular level, as well as providing adapted tutoring projects to the various groups. On the other hand, the training efficiency indicators and correlations identified may serve as a basis for other projects and initiatives to analyze the performance of students in HE.Publicação Acesso Restrito Critical success factors for BI implementation in a portuguese higher education institution2022-03-30 - Cardoso, Abílio; Morais, Paula; Lopes, Filomena CastroThe benefits recognized by integrated systems, integration, and information quality are beginning to prove insufficient to support decision-making and organization competitiveness. In this context, there is a marked growth of business intelligence (BI) systems, recognizing their analytical capacity and data integration. However, BI implementation projects bring to light two relevant technological critical success factors (CSFs): systems integration and information quality. This article reports the implementation of a BI project in a higher education institution. This project corroborates the literature highlighting the relevance of the technological CSF in achieving a successful BI implementation. Some recommendations to overcome difficulties regarding the technological CSF are also proposed.
