Publicação Acesso Aberto Special Issue Information2023-01 - Fernandes, Cristina; Durão, Natércia; Moreira, Fernando; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, CarlaDear Colleagues, Sustainability generally addresses three fundamental pillars: environmental and ecological, economic, and social. It is a concept related to the conservation or maintenance of a scenario in the long term to deal well with possible threats. The notion of sustainability emerged supported by the clear understanding that natural resources are limited and finite. In this understanding, sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. [...]Publicação Acesso Aberto The state of mobile learning supported by gamification and augmented reality in higher education institutions across three continents2020-01 - Annamalai, Nagaletchimee; Moreira, Fernando; Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, Natércia; Santos-Pereira, CarlaThe pervasive digitization is now a reality for organizations and society at large. In the last decade, for example, smartphones have been gradually transforming their scope from just voice communications providers to powerful media and computing devices. This transformation has led to a growth in business initiatives, namely in the services provision throughmobile applications. In this context, higher education asanorganizationandpartofsociety is compelled to change its operant mode in general and in particular in the teaching‐learning process making it more digital and at the same time more motivating for students. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception that higher education professors in the area of technology, across Southern Europe, South America, and Asia have about the use of mobile technologies such as gamification and augmented reality and how they can be used to promote student’sengagementinsideandoutsideoftheclassroom.Publicação Acesso Aberto Evolution and use of mobile devices in higher education: A case study in Portuguese Higher Education Institutions between 2009/2010 and 2014/20152017 - Ferreira, Maria João; Durão, Natércia; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Moreira, FernandoMobile devices’ popularity, particularly tablets and smartphones, has increased over the last years as a result of their versatility and multifunctionality. That consequently led to a wide daily use by everyone and especially among young people. Since 2010 the sales market for mobile devices has not stopped growing. This is justified by the fact that these devices present many advantages, namely usability, portability, versatility, adaptability and an ability to customize individual experiences. In the context of the teachinglearning process, mobile devices allow overcoming the temporal and physical boundaries of the classroom, since information is omnipresent and no longer limited to a specific time and place for learning, thus promoting the mLearning. In this way it is important to analyze the use of mLearning, particularly the acceptance rate and uses of mobile technologies devices in higher education Portuguese institutions. In order to answering this issue, this paper analyzes the evolution and trends in the use of mobile technologies in higher education institutions in Portugal (North region) between 2009/2010 and 2014/2015.Publicação Acesso Aberto The mission and practices of current school: the reality of TEIP.2016-02 - Bastos, Fernanda; Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Santos-Pereira, CarlaThis study follows the line of the studies of various authors, among them, Abelha, Machado e Costa Lobo (2014), Roldão (1999, 1999a, 2007), Hargreaves (1998) and Alarcão (2003), and fulfills the purpose of studying the collaborative work among the teachers of the School Cluster of D. Pedro I. This School Cluster is situated in the parish of Canidelo, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia, in the district of Porto. This School Cluster is part of the Educational Territories of Priority Intervention (TEIP). Then, we used a methodological design, a quantitative one, analyzing the different opinions of teachers belonging to the educational context in the study, about their representations of the dynamics of collaborative work, their conceptions of curriculum, curriculum management, curriculum development and educational project. The information that was collected was then subjected to statistical analysis, with the support of SPSS calculation software tool (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), version 22. Given the results obtained, we are then faced with the scope of the initial purpose of this study , that is, understanding the ownership of the respondents in relation to concepts already listed, understand how they manage the curriculum, characterization of work dynamics at the curriculum management level and evaluation of the changes demonstrated at the level of satisfaction of the teaching staff regarding the dynamics of work according to the personal and professional characteristics of the respondents. This study opens up potential future scenarios of research and intervention in the field of reflective school, focusing on school cultures of excellence.Publicação Acesso Aberto Robust clustering method for the detection of outliers: using AIC to select the number of clusters2013 - Pires, Ana M.; Santos-Pereira, CarlaIn Santos-Pereira and Pires (Computational Statistics, pp. 291–296. Physica, Heidelberg, 2002) we proposed a method to detect outliers in multivariate data based on clustering and robust estimators. To implement this method in practice it is necessary to choose a clustering method, a pair of location and scatter estimators, and the number of clusters, k. After several simulation experiments it was possible to give a number of guidelines regarding the first two choices. However, the choice of the number of clusters depends entirely on the structure of the particular data set under study. Our suggestion is to try several values of k (e.g., from 1 to a maximum reasonable k which depends on the number of observations and on the number of variables) and select k minimizing an adapted AIC. In this chapter we analyze this AIC-based criterion for choosing the number of clusters k (and also the clustering method and the location and scatter estimators) by applying it to several simulated data sets with and without outliers.Publicação Acesso Aberto Evaluation of teaching performance in Higher Education: Students perspectives and teaching management indicators2017 - Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Jesus-Silva, Natacha; Durão, NatérciaThis study is part of a research project whose main objective is to identify, select, evaluate and synthesize the available evidence on Quality Indicators in Higher Education. There is, an advance in the establishment of Quality evaluation standards in Higher Education. Higher education institutions have undergone profound changes in the last 40 years, in particular in the Teacher Performance Evaluation. In the recent past, such as massification and democratization, were necessary and useful, although it is still necessary to anticipate structural and functional changes that increase the quality and social equity of Higher Education. In this work, the parameters resulting from pedagogical surveys in a Portuguese higher education institution in the north of the country will be presented, surveys for the 2015/2016 school year, presented to 1751 students, in a total of 11 degrees and 18 master's degrees. It is analyzed the performance of a group of 68 teachers, working full time, teachers evaluated by students. This paper presents the instruments made profitable by the students in the last three academic years, allowing the identification of the indicators regarding the qualifications and competences of the faculty in the following areas: research, teaching, university management and transfer and knowledge valorization. This paper describes the procedures resulting from the descriptive analysis (frequency analysis, descriptive measures and association measures) and inferential analysis (ANOVA one-way, MANOVA one-way, MANOVA two-way and correlation analysis) discussing the results regarding the impact of teacher performance on student satisfaction.Publicação Acesso Aberto Circular Economy and International Business: Innovation, Sustainability, and Environmental Impact [editorial]2025-12-27 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Azevedo, Mónica; Carvalho, MargaritaAs global markets transition towards sustainability, the Circular Economy is emerging not only as a key driver of innovation and long-term business success but also as a powerful framework for environmental protection and ecosystem regeneration. Companies are increasingly compelled to rethink traditional business models, aligning them with circular principles that prioritize the reduction of environmental degradation, the regeneration of natural resources, and the minimization of waste. This Special Issue investigates how firms, industries, and economies apply circular economy strategies within international business while addressing broader environmental challenges and complying with evolving environmental regulations. We seek original research and review articles that explore the intersection of the circular economy, environmental governance, and international business. Topics of interest include sustainable business strategies that reduce environmental impact, the role of digitalization in enabling low-carbon and resource-efficient transitions, the redesign of global value chains with ecological considerations, and the policy mechanisms that drive circularity with environmental integrity. Contributions may examine how multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and emerging market actors adopt circular practices to enhance both competitiveness and environmental responsibility. Submissions may address, but are not limited to: business models for the circular economy in environmentally regulated international markets; sustainable and circular supply chains with low ecological footprints; the influence of international environmental agreements and trade regulations on circular practices; environmental policy and governance as enablers of circular innovation; consumer behavior regarding eco-friendly and circular products; green investment and financing models; environmental impact metrics for circular performance; and institutional and corporate frameworks promoting systemic environmental change. By bringing together a wide range of insights from academia, industry, and environmental policy, this Special Issue aims to advance understanding of how circular economy principles can help reshape international business dynamics while contributing to climate goals, ecological sustainability, and a greener global economy.Publicação Acesso Aberto Enhancing Higher Education in Portugal: Leveraging generative Artificial Intelligence for learning-teaching process2024-10-23 - Santos-Pereira, Carla; Ferreira, Maria João; Sobral, Sónia Rolland; Durão, Natércia; Moreira, FernandoRecent advancements in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have revolutionized numerous fields, including higher education. This study focuses on the integration of GAI in Portuguese higher education institutions and explores its multifaceted implications and potential. Our research, conducted through a comprehensive survey between April and June 2023, engages with higher education faculty to understand their perceptions and utilization of GAI tools in teaching and learning processes. The potential of GAI to enhance personalized learning and interactive teaching methodologies is significant. It enables the creation of customized educational content, interactive simulations, and real-time feedback mechanisms, thus reducing the educators' workload and enhancing the learning experience. However, this integration is not without challenges. The study identifies critical ethical concerns around the use of GAI, including data privacy, intellectual property, and the potential for bias in AI-generated content. Additionally, our findings indicate varying acceptance and readiness among educators to adopt these technologies. While some express enthusiasm for the potential of GAI to transform educational practices, others remain cautious, highlighting the need for comprehensive training and support to leverage GAI capabilities fully. This paper captures the essence of the study's findings, illustrating both the promising opportunities and the complex challenges associated with using Generative AI in higher education. Higher education institutions can significantly enhance teaching and learning landscapes by addressing these challenges and fostering an informed and ethical approach to GAI integration.Publicação Acesso Aberto International business performance and the enhancers of the internationalization strategy in Portuguese firms2019 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Durão, Natércia; Santos-Pereira, CarlaAs business has become increasingly global, firms have been defied to develop a distinct approach in terms of business resources, skills and capabilities. The way in which these factors are organized and directed depend upon the role played by the entrepreneur within the company. In other words, the entrepreneur's role can define the company's ability to acquire and operationalize its resources, thus being able to influence business performance, especially of international businesses. Research on factors affecting internationalization is attracting growing interest, but few empirical works focus on the perspective of the entrepreneur. Aiming to analyze the existence of an association between international business performance and the factors that act, on the entrepreneur perspective, as enhancers of the internationalization strategy, an online questionnaire survey was conducted with several variables, based on the literature review. Data collected from the 311 valid responses (Portuguese international firms) were treated by IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 software. The statistical analyses used were Descriptive Analysis (frequency analysis, descriptive statistics and graphical representations), Inferential Analysis (Spearman´s ordinal correlation, Kruskall-Wallis Test and Chi-Square Test), Reliability Analysis (Cronbach´s alpha) and Categorical Principal Components Analysis (CATPCA). In accordance with International New Ventures Theory, the Strategic Choice view and Network theory, we found evidence of the positive correlation between international experience of the employees and the percentage of business that resulted from internationalization. We also concluded that there is evidence of the importance of specific skills of the employees, of propensity to take risks and the importance of Networks, in international business performance.Publicação Acesso Aberto Digital transformation, skills and education: A systematic literature review2023-10-23 - Rêgo, B.; Lourenço, D.; Moreira, Fernando; Santos-Pereira, CarlaDigital transformation (DT) is raising new challenges. This article seeks to understand how DT has changed business strategies, requiring a new profile of professionals, analyzing the most sought-after skills and identifying opportunities for future professionals. Also, it studies whether universities have incorporated in their training the new skills required by the labor market impacted by DT. To these ends, a systematic literature review dealing with digital transformation, competence, and education was conducted. The existing literature was categorized into seven main areas of investigation: digital literacy; skills identification; use of digital technologies in teaching; learning models; workforce qualification or re-skilling; digital technologies in the labor market; and undergraduate course analysis. This structuring then lays the groundwork for capturing gaps in the literature and proposing future research.
