Abstract(s)
The Eco-sensors4Health research project
proposes the use of everyday Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT), such as sensors, in the creation of healthy
and sustainable environments in school. Complementarily, the
TEL@FTELab (Technology Enhanced Learning@Future Teacher
Education Lab) research project investigates how a technology
enriched training can improve teachers’ education. The research
presented in this article was developed in the context of both
projects and created a set of multidisciplinary learning scenarios
to raise awareness in environmental health, through the use of
sensors in teacher training. The referred scenarios focus on
various dimensions of environmental health in schools, such as
sound and air quality (trough the study of carbon dioxide
concentration in air). The assessment of the use of sensors to
explore such dimensions of environmental health in school made
it possible to validate learning scenarios and envision
multidisciplinary practices of prospective teachers regarding the
empowerment of children to eco-innovate in environmental
health.
