Formas e manifestações da transdisciplinaridade na produção científico-académica em Portugal

This paper is part of a research project that seeks to help clarify the meaning attributed to the introduction of transdiciplinary areas within a basic education curriculum. Assuming the characteristics of an exploratory research, the analysis focused on the forms and demonstrations of transdisciplinarity in the academic-scientific output in Portugal. The results of this analysis point out five key ideas, connected with an holistic understanding of social phenomena, that characterize the transdisciplinarity as: (1) a place of escape from daily routine; (2) a pathway to social equity and human values; (3) a new intellectual framework; (4) a new organizational model for the areas of school content; and (5) an ideal team model.Este articulo se deriva de un proyecto de investigacion que busca, en ultima instancia, ayudar a aclarar el significado asignado a la introduccion de areas de formacion transdisciplinaria en el diseno curricular de la educacion basica. Asumiendo contornos de una investigacion de caracter exploratorio, el analisis se centro en las formas y manifestaciones de la transdisciplinariedad en el marco de la produccion cientifico-academica realizada en Portugal. Los resultados obtenidos senalaron cinco ideas clave, vinculadas desde una intencionalidad que da primacia a la comprension holistica de los fenomenos sociales, y que caracterizan la transdisciplinariedad como: (1) un lugar para escapar de la rutina diaria; (2) un camino hacia la equidad social y los valores humanos; (3) un nuevo marco intelectual; (4) un nuevo modelo de organizacion del conocimiento escolar; y (5) un modelo ideal de equipo.

Digital literacy of adults education needs for the full exercise of citizenship

This article presents an exploratory study undertaken during the initial phase of the Adults Digital Literacy Project (LIDIA), aimed at identifying situations where adults are hindered from exercising their full citizenship, due to their lack of digital technologies knowledge. Within the framework of an action-research methodology, a questionnaire was applied to 106 adults, aged between 26 and 92 years, resident in Portugal. From the data analysis, it was possible to establish 13 categories of needs within the scope of digital literacy of adults, including a set of references stating their desire to handle their bureaucratic issues via the Internet. These results constitute the basis for the proposal of a set of activities with digital technologies, geared towards promoting digital citizenship, around six broad learning areas: 1) information; 2) communication; 3) production; 4) leisure; 5) daily tasks; and 6) and digital identity security - the latter, considered to have a cross-cutting nature and therefore should be considered integrated in one or several domains of learning.
