- A Educação na Escola ModernaReflexão pedagógica de âmbito prático aliada à experiência do ensino do inglês no 1º.C.E.B.do ensino públicoPublication . Chambel, Elisabete Dias Bica de Jesus Pereira; Jorge, José ReisAccording to teaching practice this reflection intends to be a tool to acquire more skills and promote better teaching habits. The differential pedagogy, will be the engine of this reflection considering mixed-ability groups as context. There are in Portugal a large group of teachers who defends differential pedagogy methods and follow models of Differential pedagogy: High/Scope model and the Modern School Movement’s. Both models born around the sixties and seventies of the twentieth centuries: the first in the United States of America, under the Piaget’s influence; and the second in Portugal, under the Freinet’s influence. Active learning is the center of High/Scope model and cooperative learning is the focus of Modern School Movement (M.E.M.). A daily time to autonomous study is advocated by both methods. High/Scope uses this time considering the daily routine - plan, do, review (or individual) and M.E.M. preconizes what we call self-study time. The mentioned models will be the context to develop some activity proposals in order to help differentiation in English teaching lessons.
- DIFERENCIAÇÃO PEDAGÓGICA EM ENSINO DO INGLÊS NO 1º CICLO DO ENSINO BÁSICO “THE BIGGEST CHALLENGEPublication . Reis, Carla Susana do Nascimento; Jorge, José Reis; Ribeiro, Vera Lúcia Campeão Araújo dos SantosO presente trabalho tem como objetivo não só uma revisão bibliográfica, mas também uma breve descrição e reflexão sobre a minha prática e o percurso de aprendizagem que me propus desenvolver ao longo deste Mestrado, enquanto professora de Inglês do 1º Ciclo. Integra e explora um tema que considero deveras desafiante pelas potencialidades, limitações e dificuldades inerentes: a Diferenciação Pedagógica no ensino do Inglês do 1º Ciclo. Atualmente, nas salas de aula, os professores enfrentam uma população de estudantes cada vez mais diversificada. Os alunos vêm para a escola com uma gama de interesses, um passado cultural, uma prontidão académica e estilos de aprendizagem muito mais amplos. Cada criança é única e aprende de forma diferente. O professor de Inglês do 1º Ciclo tem simultaneamente o privilégio e a responsabilidade de trabalhar com aprendentes com características singulares e ao planificar as aulas deverá promover o gosto pela aprendizagem da língua e o estabelecimento de uma relação positiva com a mesma, tendo em conta vários fatores que influenciam a aprendizagem nesta faixa etária. Para que todos os alunos tenham sucesso, os professores precisam de encontrar abordagens pedagógicas que lhes permitam responder às necessidades individuais de cada aluno. Tal abordagem é a da diferenciação pedagógica. Este relatório final conjuga não só uma componente mais teórica assim como uma componente mais descritiva e autorreflexiva do meu trabalho enquanto professora de Inglês do 1º Ciclo.
- THE USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO MOTIVATE PRIMARY STUDENTS THROUGH STORYTELLINGPublication . Ramos, Susana Maria Morais; Jorge, José ReisThe use of new technologies to motivate primary students through storytelling This new generation in the 21st century has made me question about how to respond to nowadays’ changes in teaching and how teachers can create an effective and affective lesson with their students. Storytelling is an endless resource to try to motivate students in class but this new generation is more interested into new technologies, so in order to motivate primary students, contribute to moral awareness when students are learning English I felt the need to show a different approach. This project – based storytelling explores the use of storytelling, which includes a traditional English story, adapted towards the students’ learning. Storytelling creates a strong way to teach English as a second language in order to emphasize reading and later on writing but adapted to this new generation through new technologies to motivate students’ interest in class. This project-based storytelling will show a different approach towards the traditional storytelling, using the support of new technologies, which are related to this new generation. Digital photos, common objects such as lego and finger puppets, will be shown on an audio-video retelling the story and therefore motivating students.
- Multi-messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star MergerPublication . Pierre Auger and other collaborations (3541 authors); Mura, G.La; Abreu, P.; Andringa, S.; Assis, P.; Blanco, A.; Cazon, L.; Conceição, R.; Diogo, F.; Espadanal, J.; Lopes, L.; Pimenta, M.; Santos, E.; Sarmento, R.; Tomé, B.On 2017 August 17 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time 12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) with a time delay of $\sim 1.7\,{\rm{s}}$ with respect to the merger time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg(2) at a luminosity distance of ${40}_{-8}^{+8}$ Mpc and with component masses consistent with neutron stars. The component masses were later measured to be in the range 0.86 to 2.26 $\,{M}_{\odot }$. An extensive observing campaign was launched across the electromagnetic spectrum leading to the discovery of a bright optical transient (SSS17a, now with the IAU identification of AT 2017gfo) in NGC 4993 (at $\sim 40\,{\rm{Mpc}}$) less than 11 hours after the merger by the One-Meter, Two Hemisphere (1M2H) team using the 1 m Swope Telescope. The optical transient was independently detected by multiple teams within an hour. Subsequent observations targeted the object and its environment. Early ultraviolet observations revealed a blue transient that faded within 48 hours. Optical and infrared observations showed a redward evolution over ∼10 days. Following early non-detections, X-ray and radio emission were discovered at the transient’s position $\sim 9$ and $\sim 16$ days, respectively, after the merger. Both the X-ray and radio emission likely arise from a physical process that is distinct from the one that generates the UV/optical/near-infrared emission. No ultra-high-energy gamma-rays and no neutrino candidates consistent with the source were found in follow-up searches. These observations support the hypothesis that GW170817 was produced by the merger of two neutron stars in NGC 4993 followed by a short gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova/macronova powered by the radioactive decay of r-process nuclei synthesized in the ejecta.
- Calibration of the logarithmic-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) radio stations at the Pierre Auger Observatory using an octocopterPublication . Pierre Auger collaboration (404 authors); Abreu, Pedro; Andringa, Sofia; Assis, Pedro; Barreira Luz, Ricardo Jorge; Blanco, Alberto; Cazon, Lorenzo; Conceição, Ruben; Diogo, Francisco; Espadanal, João; Lopes, Luis; Pimenta, Mário; Santos, Eva; Sarmento, Raul; Tomé, BernardoAn in-situ calibration of a logarithmic periodic dipole antenna with a frequency coverage of 30 MHz to 80 MHz is performed. Such antennas are part of a radio station system used for detection of cosmic ray induced air showers at the Engineering Radio Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory, the so-called Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) . The directional and frequency characteristics of the broadband antenna are investigated using a remotely piloted aircraft carrying a small transmitting antenna. The antenna sensitivity is described by the vector effective length relating the measured voltage with the electric-field components perpendicular to the incoming signal direction. The horizontal and meridional components are determined with an overall uncertainty of 7.4(+0.9)(−)(0.3)% and 10.3(+2.8)(−)(1.7)% respectively. The measurement is used to correct a simulated response of the frequency and directional response of the antenna. In addition, the influence of the ground conductivity and permittivity on the antenna response is simulated. Both have a negligible influence given the ground conditions measured at the detector site. The overall uncertainties of the vector effective length components result in an uncertainty of 8.8(+2.1)(−)(1.3)% in the square root of the energy fluence for incoming signal directions with zenith angles smaller than 60°.
