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 Restrito Analysis of students performance in a higher education institution - conditioning factors and new strategies: an approach based on business intelligence2020 - Pereira, José; Lopes, Filomena Castro; Seruca, IsabelThe trend of massification seen in recent years in Higher Education (HE) in Portugal has provided access to groups of students very different socio-culturally from each other, with a greater presence of non-traditional students, that is, worker-students, International students, students from professional and technological specialization courses and special regimes (e.g. Higher than 23 years). 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.Publicação Acesso Restrito What will the future of work look like for IS professionals? The picture of Portugal2020 - Mesquita, Anabela; Camarinha, Ana Paula; Malta, Pedro; Lopes, Filomena CastroMany professions, in the most diverse sectors of activity, have undergone great changes over time, largely due to the responsibility of technological evolution. The rapid evolution of information technologies will, certainly imply, that employment in general and employment in Information Systems (IS), in particular, undergoes major changes both in terms of creating new professions and even for the extinction of others, as indeed it has already happened when professions such as telephone operators, typists, telegram distributors, typographers and even encyclopedias sellers disappeared. The purpose of this article is to analyze the changes that can be expected in employment in IS for 2030 - how will work in IS be: what professions will be extinguished, which ones must adapt to the new reality and what the need for professions that do not yet exist. After a review of the literature on the evolution of employment in IS over the years, realizing the trends of its evolution, a guide was elaborated for semistructured interviews that were used in meetings with 6 (six) Portuguese organizations, in order to list their perceptions of the changes that are expected in the very near future. From the analysis of results, it will be possible to have a clearer idea of the changes that are already occurring today, as well as what still needs to be changed. This answer will allow us to reflect on how to prepare tomorrow’s professionals, in IS, for the job market in 2030.Publicação Acesso Restrito University-industry collaboration in the design and functioning of a doctoral programme in business science2020 - Sousa, Cristina; Magalhães, M.; Jayantilal, Shital; Lopes, Filomena CastroThis study analyses the creation of an innovative doctoral program in Portugal, aimed at management professionals and guided by a strong interaction between the university and industry. In the current global economy, frequently punctuated by sharp disruptions, firms are expected to develop innovative responses and workers are expected to acquire new skills. In this context, university–industry cooperation becomes increasingly important for promoting economic growth and enhancing competitiveness. This cooperation is bidirectional, bringing benefits to both parts. On the one hand, universities transfer knowledge and technology to companies allowing them to create value and to innovate in their processes and products. On the other hand, collaboration with firms allows universities to refine their teaching and research strategies by realising the implications of knowledge production for the economy and society. Thus, it is assumed that doctoral programs can be an important channel of knowledge and technology transfer from the university to the industry, particularly if both parties are involved in their conception. The paper start by identifying the premises for, and describing the experience of designing of PhD programme in Management, in close collaboration with firms, whose aims were: i) to fulfil the university's mission of transferring knowledge to companies and society through the creation of taught programmes, and ii) to respond to the need for the university's research from society and specifically from firms whose value creation depends on innovation and knowledge creation and therefore on advanced skills and competences. This will then be followed by an analysis of how the programme works and which factors account for Doctoral students’ and firms' interest in this PhD programme.Publicação Acesso Aberto Emprego em SI2022 - Mesquita, Anabela; Camarinha, Ana Paula; Malta, Pedro; Lopes, Filomena CastroA evolução das tecnologias tem introduzido mudanças, ao longo do tempo, nas profissões dos vários setores de atividade. A rápida evolução das tecnologias de informação, seguramente, irá ter repercussões nas profissões, tal como no passado. As alterações tecnológicas terão impactos no emprego em geral e no emprego em Sistemas de Informação (SI), em particular. Neste capítulo, perspetiva-se como será o emprego em SI em 2030. Para isso, faz-se uma revisão de literatura para se sistematizar a evolução do emprego em SI e apontar tendências. De seguida, recorre-se a entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas em seis empresas portuguesas, para examinar as perceções quanto às tendências apontadas no emprego em SI: que profissões existirão, que competências e como será realizado o trabalho. Os resultados permitirão ter uma perceção das alterações que ocorrem atualmente no emprego em SI contribuindo para uma reflexão sobre a preparação de profissionais nesta área, no mercado de trabalho em 2030.
