    O objectivo do presente artigo consiste em procurar transmitir um olhar sociologicamente informado no que concerne Ă  situação portuguesa no domĂ­nio das polĂ­ticas educativas pĂșblicas e investigaçÔes produzidas relacionadas com o sistema educativo e a (i)migração, ou seja, com a tentativa de construção de uma educação intercultural. Neste sentido, serĂĄ realizada uma anĂĄlise descritiva e compreensivo-interpretativa da evolução desta problemĂĄtica em Portugal desde que a mesma se tornou objecto de reflexĂŁo por parte de investigadores/as e polĂ­ticos nos finais da dĂ©cada de oitenta, inĂ­cio da dĂ©cada de noventa do sĂ©culo XX. Nesta anĂĄlise, serĂĄ dada ĂȘnfase Ă s investigaçÔes e quadros teĂłricos produzidos e Ă s medidas legislativas e polĂ­ticas educativas no domĂ­nio do tratamento da diferença cultural dentro do sistema educativo portuguĂȘs.The aim of this article consists in attempting to transmit a sociologically informed view in what the Portuguese situation in the field of public policies and research related to the educational system and (im)migration are concerned, that is, in attempting to construct an intercultural education. In this way, a descriptive and comprehensiveinterpretative analysis of the evolution of this problem in Portugal will be realized, since the latter became an object of reflection on the part of researchers and politicians towards the end of the 80s, the beginning of the 90s of the XXth century. In this analysis, emphasis will be given on the research and theoretical frameworks produced and on the legislative measures and educational policies in the field of treating cultural difference in the Portuguese educational system

    This paper investigates the use of iPads in the assessment of predominantly second year Bachelor of Education (Primary/Early Childhood) pre-service teachers undertaking a physical education and health unit. Within this unit, practical assessment tasks are graded by tutors in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. The main barriers for the lecturer or tutor for effective assessment in these contexts include limited time to assess and the provision of explicit feedback for large numbers of students, complex assessment procedures, overwhelming record-keeping and assessing students without distracting from the performance being presented. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate whether incorporating mobile technologies such as iPads to access online rubrics within the Blackboard environment would enhance and simplify the assessment process. Results from the findings indicate that using iPads to access online rubrics was successful in streamlining the assessment process because it provided pre-service teachers with immediate and explicit feedback. In addition, tutors experienced a reduction in the amount of time required for the same workload by allowing quicker forms of feedback via the iPad dictation function. These outcomes have future implications and potential for mobile paperless assessment in other disciplines such as health, environmental science and engineering
