As mídias sociais alteraram os modos de relacionamento entre os indivíduos e as organizações e podem ser compreendidas como um dos elementos catalisadores da transformação digital no setor público. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar as pessoas e os processos relacionados ao uso de mídias sociais na prefeitura de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, como elementos de transformação digital. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo que utilizou análise documental, observação direta de sites e entrevistas como técnicas de coleta de dados. Os dados foram categorizados e analisados em triangulação. Os resultados evidenciaram os atores e os processos envolvidos com uso das mídias sociais, sendo o mais influente deles o chefe do poder executivo, reafirmando o disposto na literatura de que a transformação digital pressupõe uma liderança forte e envolvida ativamente com a implantação e implementação das tecnologias, tendo, portanto, um viés top down

Visual stimuli in intervention approaches for pre-schoolers diagnosed with phonological delay

Purpose: There is a need to develop letter knowledge assessment tools to characterise the letter knowledge in Portuguese pre-schoolers and to compare it with pre-schoolers from other countries, but there are no tools for this purpose in Portugal. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and validation procedures of the Prova de Avaliac¸ao de Compet ~ ^encias de Pr e-Literacia (PACPL), which assesses letter knowledge. Method: This study includes data that has been gathered in two phases: pilot and main study. In the pilot study, an expert panel of six speech and language pathologists analysed the instrument. Children (n ¼ 216) aged 5;0–7;11 participated in the main study that reports data related to the psychometric characteristics of the PACPL. Content validity, internal consistency, reliability and contributing factors to performance were examined statistically. Results: A modified Bland–Altman method revealed good agreement amongst evaluators. The main study showed that the PACPL has a very good internal consistency and high inter-rater (96.2% of agreement and a Cohen’s k value of 0.92) and intra-rater (95.6% of agreement and a Cohen’s k value of 0.91) agreement. Construct validity of the PCAPL was also assured (Cronbach’s a of 0.982). Significant differences were found between age groups with children increasing their letter knowledge with age. In addition, they were better at identifying than at producing both letter names and letter sounds. Conclusions: The PACPL is a valid and reliable instrument to assess letter knowledge in Portuguese children.publishe
