- Antígona na escola. Personagens femininas da antiguidade no teatro didático de Ana Cristina OliveiraPublication . Nogueira, Adriana; Morais, Carlos; Brasete, Maria Fernanda; Ferreira, António Manuel; Mancelos, João deNeste artigo, procuro responder a algumas perguntas que me foram suscitadas pelo trabalho que Ana Cristina Oliveira (professora de Filosofia, dramaturga, encenadora e atriz) tem vindo a desenvolver no grupo de teatro escolar, por si fundado, Tapete Mágico, no que respeita à escolha das personagens femininas da antiguidade nas peças que escreve para – e com – os alunos. Pretendo perceber qual a receção que a antiguidade tem entre os mais jovens, como se podem relacionar as temáticas de peças de tragediógrafos gregos com as preocupações da juventude atual; e qual a atualidade dessas questões e que outras interrogações levantam.
- Beyond the score: exploring the intersection between sociodemographics and linguistic features in english (L1) writing placementPublication . Da Corte, Miguel; Baptista, JorgeThis study examines the intersection of sociodemographic characteristics, linguistic features, and writing placement outcomes at a community college in the United States of America. It focuses on 210 anonymized writing samples from native English speakers (L1) that were automatically classified by Accuplacer and independently assessed by two trained raters. Disparities across gender and race using 40 top-ranked linguistic features selected from Coh-Metrix, CTAP, and Developmental Education-Specific (DES) sets were analyzed. Three statistical tests were used: one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD, and Chi-square. ANOVA results showed racial differences in nine linguistic features, especially those tied to syntactic complexity, discourse markers, and lexical precision. Gender differences were more limited, with only one feature reaching significance (Positive Connectives, p = 0.007). Tukey’s HSD pairwise tests showed no significant gender group variation but revealed sensitivity in DES features when comparing racial groups. Chi-square analysis indicated no significant association between gender and placement outcomes but suggested a possible link between race and human-assigned levels (χ 2 = 9.588, p = 0.048). These findings suggest that while automated systems assess general writing skills, human-devised linguistic features and demographic insights can support more equitable placement practices for all students entering college-level programs.
- Living with a Veteran with trauma: impact on family functioning using the genogram as a research toolPublication . Brites, Rute; Nunes, Odete; Hipólito, João; Brandão, Tânia; Correia, António; Nunes, CristinaIntroduction: Although the psychological impact of war on veterans, particularly the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), has been well documented, the long-term effects on their families have been less widely studied. Research suggests that veterans’ trauma can disrupt relationships and contribute to secondary/intergenerational trauma within the family. Objective: This study uses genograms to explore how PTSD symptoms experienced by veterans have influenced family relationships over time, and to uncover patterns of intergenerational and systemic impact in families of Portuguese Overseas War veterans. Method: A qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with 32 families (each comprising a veteran, their spouse, and at least one adult child) was used (n =100). The data were synthesized into genograms to visually map family structure, relationship quality, and patterns of psychological distress. Cross-family analysis was then conducted to identify common relational themes. Results: Families were clustered into four main impact groups: maximum negative impact, limited negative impact, no impact, and protective impact. These classifications reflect variations in family functioning, mental health symptoms, and relational patterns. In some families, the veteran’s trauma appeared to affect multiple subsystems, while in others, spouses played a buffering/protective role. A fifth group was identified, with no consistent pattern. Conclusion: Findings emphasize the complexity and variability of trauma transmission within families, highlighting both vulnerability and resilience. Using genograms proved effective in capturing systemic dynamics. These results emphasize the importance of adopting a family-systems approach in the clinical treatment of veterans affected by PTSD and suggest avenues for future research.
- Measuring parental school involvement: a systematic reviewPublication . Belém, Helena Sofia Mocho Alcaparra; Martins, Cátia; dos Santos, Rita Alexandra Mendes; Ratinho, Elias; Nunes, CristinaAbstract: Parental school involvement (PSI) is a multidimensional construct that significantly influences children’s academic adjustment and overall development. However, inconsistencies persist in its definition and measurement, with researchers operationalizing PSI through a varied of parental activities. This study aimed to (1) identify PSI instruments and their theoretical models and (2) evaluate their psychometric properties. Following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO ID CRD42023451091, registered August 2023), this systematic review examined six databases (Web of Science, ERIC, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycArticles, and PsycInfo), analyzing quantitative studies from 2000 to 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed instruments designed for parents, teachers, or children aged 6–15 and published in peer-reviewed journals in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or French. From an initial pool of 490 records, 38 studies were included, yielding 43 instruments: 23 for parents, 15 for children, and 5 for teachers. Seven instruments followed Epstein’s model, while nine followed the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler framework, underscoring the prominence of these theoretical approaches. The study quality, assessed with MMAT, was generally moderate to high. Despite an exhaustive search effort, it is possible that some relevant instruments were not identified. Nevertheless, this review advances the understanding of PSI operationalization, promotes more consistent and replicable assessments, enhances alignment between instruments and study objectives, and strengths the validity of findings derived from these tools.
- O papel mediador das experiências de recuperação entre o conflito trabalho-família e o bem-estar numa amostra de colaboradores PortuguesesPublication . Silva, Laura Cristina Guerreiro da; Sousa, CátiaO conflito trabalho-família e família-trabalho (CTF-FT) está relacionado com a dificuldade de conciliar as responsabilidades profissionais e familiares, o que pode afetar negativamente o bem-estar dos indivíduos. As estratégias de recuperação, têm o potencial de mitigar esses efeitos negativos ao promoverem a recuperação do stress e a restauração das energias. O presente estudo, de natureza quantitativa, teve como objetivo averiguar o papel mediador das experiências de recuperação, como o afastamento psicológico, relaxamento, a procura de desafios e o sentido de controlo, na relação entre o CTF-FT e o bem-estar dos indivíduos. A amostra recolhida compreendeu 240 participantes portugueses, dos quais 72.1% (n = 173) do sexo feminino e 27.9% do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 23 e os 66 anos (M = 43.45; DP = 9.8). Os resultados indicaram que a variável CTF-FT tem um impacto negativo e significativo no bem-estar. Por outro lado, as experiências de recuperação mostraram um impacto positivo no bemestar, sendo o relaxamento a variável mais significativa. Estes resultados sugerem que intervenções focadas no relaxamento podem ser particularmente eficazes para mitigar os efeitos negativos do CTF-FT no bem-estar. As implicações dos resultados foram discutidas, bem como as limitações do estudo, e foram apresentadas sugestões para futuras investigações.
- Understanding the slow and inevitable evolution of Early Childhood Education: Analysis of the discourse on early childhood education in Portuguese Estado Novo (1933-1974)Publication . Vilhena, Carla; Ferreira, António Gomes; Mota, Luís Carlos Martins d’AlmeidaThis study aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the development of Early Childhood Education in Portugal during the Estado Novo (1933 to 1974), a conservative, nationalist, and authoritarian political regime. Employing a critical discourse analysis approach, the research investigates the various perspectives, justifications and oppositions invoked for the establishment, or rejection, of early childhood education and explores prevalent ideas about children’s education. Data is sourced from Portuguese pedagogical press, covering the Estado Novo period. The findings of this study shed light on the transformation of discourses surrounding early childhood education in the Portuguese Estado Novo. The period between 1933 and 1944 was characterized by a medical-hygienist focus on welfare; however, in the postWorld War II the discourse shifted towards a psychopedagogical emphasis on education (1945-1974). As for the pedagogical methods, the Montessori method emerged as the most favoured pedagogical approach for young children throughout the Estado Novo era.
