- Como o plano do dia potencia a participação das criançasPublication . Milicias, Mariana Rodrigues; Rosa, ManuelaO presente relatório aborda, de uma forma crítica e reflexiva, a minha Prática Profissional Supervisionada II (PPSII), realizada numa sala de pré-escolar durante 4 meses. Trata-se da reflexão das diversas experiências que vivenciei com um grupo de 25 crianças e da aquisição e fundamentação de conhecimentos teóricos e práticos em contexto de jardim de infância. Será apresentada a caracterização do contexto educativo, as intenções pedagógicas que nortearam a minha prática bem como a sua avaliação. Posteriormente será apresentada a problemática desencadeadora da investigação levada a cabo ao longo da prática. Com o desenvolvimento deste relatório, foi notório o aprofundamento do meu conhecimento teórico associado à prática, o que promoveu a construção da minha identidade profissional. Relativamente à investigação, a mesma desenvolveu-se a partir de um estudo de caso cujo tema é: Como o plano do dia potencia a participação das crianças e teve como objetivo perceber a influência deste instrumento de pilotagem, inserido no modelo pedagógico do Movimento da Escola Moderna (MEM), na participação das crianças na organização do seu dia. De modo a perceber esta influência na participação, foram recolhidos dados através de observações, registos escritos, entrevistas e conversas informais com a Educadora Cooperante (EC). Os resultados obtidos confirmam a importância do plano do dia na participação das crianças do grupo e mostram a diferença entre o antes e o depois do uso do plano do dia. O estudo revela que, com o aumento da participação, deu-se também o aumento da capacidade de escuta das crianças, não só no momento do preenchimento do plano do dia, mas também noutros momentos da rotina em grande grupo. É também possível perceber, através deste relatório, que os principais ganhos da identidade profissional, construída desde a PPS I, realizada em creche, até agora ,se baseiam no trabalho de equipa, na troca de informações entre escola-famílias e ainda na importância da reflexividade profissional.
- Does the financial system support economic growth in times of financialisation? Evidence for PortugalPublication . Barradas, RicardoThis paper conducts a time series econometric analysis in order to examine empirically the relationship between the financial system and economic growth in Portugal from 1977 to 2016. The Portuguese financial system has experienced a strong wave of privatisations, liberalisations and deregulations since the adhesion of Portugal to the European Economic Community in 1986, which has not favoured a sustained path of strong economic growth since then. The paper estimates a linear growth model and a non-linear growth model, which includes four proxies for the financial system (money supply, credit, financial value added and stock market capitalisation) and four further control variables (inflation, government consumption, trade openness and education). The paper finds a negative linear relationship between the banking system and Portuguese economic growth, a positive linear relationship between the stock markets and Portuguese economic growth, a concave quadratic relationship between the banking system and Portuguese economic growth, and a convex quadratic relationship between the stock markets and Portuguese economic growth. This suggests that Portuguese policy makers should canalise efforts to decrease the importance of banking system and to increase the importance of stock markets in order to support more robust economic growth in the coming years.
- The sustainability and potential commercial development of aquaponics in Portugal and IsraelPublication . Dos Santos, Maria José Palma LampreiaAquaponics which integrates hydroponic farming and aquaculturein a low input systemway of production, is an agricultural way of production recognized as innovative and sustainable by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.Despite this aquaponics has yet to achieve commercial success around the world.However, aquaponics is experiencing a period of rapid interest byresearchers, public decision-makers, farmers and new generation of entrepreneurs. In Europe, the first start-ups are just taking the first steps of industrial production. The COST Action FA 1305 allowed the development of a European Hub of aquaponics in European countries. Israel developin this Hub a strong record of publications and network as well as Portugal. In this last country the coverage of aquaponics by the media and broadcast has been intensive, as well as the scientific and public debate stimulated by the field. However, the socio-economic and institutional problems concerning to the commercial development of Portuguese aquaponics products remains unsolved. Onthe other hand, in Israel the majority of consumers don’t Know yet aquaponics.This study tries to overcome these gap sand offers recommendations on how to promote the development of commercial aquaponics in Portugal and in Israel in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals(SDG)1 and SDG8of the2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States. The methods include the qualitative analysis of reviewed literature mainly in Portugal and Israel. In Portugal, the results confirm problems at an institutional level that difficult the development of aquaponics in the Portuguese market. Yet, results seem to indicate that local decision-makers, entrepreneurs and few young farmers are very motivated to develop aquaponics in the Portuguese market.In Israel commercial aquaponics is restricted by insufficient economic development. But Israeli consumers are willing to pay a premium for aquaponic produce. Assessing aquaponics price sensitivity depends on both culture and product.Therefore, we recommend more attention from public decision-makers to solve the main institutional restrictions of this innovative and sustainable activity in Portugal and the development of more strong studies on economics field of aquaponics in Israel to promote the commercial development of this sustainable way of productionand to achieve the SDGs
