Língua portuguesa em Timor-Leste: ensino e cidadania

Tese de mestrado, Língua e Cultura Portuguesa, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras, 2009Este trabalho pretende apresentar um quadro geral da situação da língua portuguesa e do seu ensino em Timor-Leste, associando-o ao desenvolvimento de valores de cidadania. Para tal, começa-se por contextualizar a presença da língua portuguesa naquele país, através da apresentação de dados históricos, analisando o papel desta língua na formação de uma identidade cultural timorense e apresentando muito brevemente o panorama linguístico actual, onde a língua portuguesa está inserida. Observando conceitos da área da Didáctica das Línguas, é construído um quadro teórico que olha para o estatuto da língua portuguesa em Timor-Leste e para o seu contexto de aprendizagem. O trabalho também se debruça sobre a relação entre língua e cultura, apontando possíveis efeitos negativos de uma reintrodução da língua portuguesa em Timor-Leste por agentes de cooperação portugueses, veiculadores de parâmetros culturais diferentes. Ao mesmo tempo, associa-se o ensino da língua portuguesa ao desenvolvimento de valores de cidadania democrática nos jovens aprendentes. Pretende-se ainda dar a conhecer o modo como os jovens do nível de ensino pré-secundário perspectivam a língua portuguesa através da apresentação e interpretação dos resultados da aplicação de um inquérito. Ao longo de todo o seu percurso, esta dissertação pretende retirar implicações práticas para optimizar e adequar a abordagem do ensino da língua portuguesa aos jovens, em Timor-Leste.This work intends to present a general framework of portuguese language situation and its teaching in East Timor, relating it to the development of citizenship values. To do that, it is started by contextualizing portuguese language presence in that country, through the presentation of historical data, analyzing this language role in the formation of an easttimorese cultural identity and presenting very briefly the actual linguistic panorama, where portuguese language is inserted. Observing concepts from Language Teaching area, it is built a theoretical framework that looks into portuguese language status in East Timor and its learning context. The work also delves into the relation between language and culture, pointing out possible negative effects of a portuguese language reintroduction in East Timor by portuguese cooperation agents, carriers of different cultural parameters. At the same time, portuguese language teaching is associated to development of democratic citizenship values in young learners. It is also intended to show how pre-secondary level students perspective the portuguese language, through an enquiry results presentation and interpretation. Along all its way, this dissertation intends to get practical implications to optimize and adequate approach to portuguese language teaching to youngsters, in East Timor

The National Student Survey: validation in Portuguese medical students

The UK National Student Survey (NSS) is a sound and widely used instrument for assessing students’ academic experiences. We aimed to translate the NSS for Portuguese students and to validate the instrument in a sample of medical undergraduates. The research team translated and adapted the NSS for Portuguese students (NSS-P). The survey was administered on an online platform to 1,256 final-year students at eight Portuguese medical schools. A total of 329 medical students (69.9% female) replied to the NSS-P, a response rate of 26.2%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the original six-factor structure had an adequate fit to the data. Adequate internal consistency was observed for all the subscales. Medium to large correlations were found among all the subscale scores and between the subscale scores and the students’ overall satisfaction. Multiple regression showed that the scores on the Teaching, Organization and Management and Personal Development subscales significantly predicted the students’ overall satisfaction. Approximately 64% of the students reported being satisfied with the quality of their courses. Significant differences among the medical schools in their NSS-P scores were found. The NSS-P is a valid and reliable measure for assessing medical students’ perceptions of academic quality

ZIKV was first detected in Brazil in May 2015 and cases of microcephaly potentially associated with ZIKV infection were identified in November 2015. Using next generation sequencing we generated seven Brazilian ZIKV genomes, sampled from four self-limited cases, one blood donor, one fatal adult case, and one newborn with microcephaly and congenital malformations. Phylogenetic and molecular clock analyses show a single introduction of ZIKV into the Americas, estimated to have occurred between May-Dec 2013, more than 12 months prior to the detection of ZIKV in Brazil. The estimated date of origin coincides with an increase in air passengers to Brazil from ZIKV endemic areas, and with reported outbreaks in Pacific Islands. ZIKV genomes from Brazil are phylogenetically interspersed with those from other South American and Caribbean countries. Mapping mutations onto existing structural models revealed the context of viral amino acid changes present in the outbreak lineage; however no shared amino acid changes were found among the three currently available virus genomes from microcephaly cases. Municipality-level incidence data indicate that reports of suspected microcephaly in Brazil best correlate with ZIKV incidence around week 17 of pregnancy, although this does not demonstrate causation. Our genetic description and analysis of ZIKV isolates in Brazil provide a baseline for future studies of the evolution and molecular epidemiology in the Americas of this emerging virus
