A acessibilidade como a palavra-chave para o acesso à educação: um projeto de formação contínua de professores
Ao assumir a importância do sentido da democracia, da partilha de direitos e deveres, bem como, a centralidade do papel da Escola e da Educação, a equipa deste projeto de formação contínua de professores, centrou-se na elaboração de um programa de formação capaz de renovar as lentes de interpretação face ao conceito de Acessibilidade por com relação tanto à Cidadania, como à Educação. Ao ter trabalhado com 16 municípios portugueses e agrupamentos correspondentes, o projeto “A Cidadania Universal: As Acessibilidades”, promoveu, um novo sentido de inclusão, de bem-estar e de acesso à qualidade de vida por parte de toda a comunidade educativa, promovendo igualmente a importância central da formação de professores numa conjuntura que tarda em praticar a esperança do “aprender a ser”

Nevertheless, in such studies, differences in socio-economic-educational status have not always been accounted for, with idiomatic translation of emotional concepts being a limitation, and the underlying psychophysiological mechanisms still un-researched. We set out to investigate whether native residents from Guinea-Bissau (West African culture) and Portugal (Western European culture)-matched for socio-economic-educational status, sex and language-varied in behavioural and autonomic system response during emotion recognition of nonverbal vocalizations from Portuguese individuals. Overall, Guinea-Bissauans (as out-group) responded significantly less accurately (corrected p < .05), slower, and showed a trend for higher concomitant skin conductance, compared to Portuguese (as in-group)-findings which may indicate a higher cognitive effort stemming from higher difficulty in discerning emotions from another culture. Specifically, accuracy differences were particularly found for pleasure, amusement, and anger, rather than for sadness, relief or fear. Nevertheless, both cultures recognized all emotions above-chance level. The perceived authenticity, measured for the first time in nonverbal cross-cultural research, in the same vocalizations, retrieved no difference between cultures in accuracy, but still a slower response from the out-group. Lastly, we provide-to our knowledge-a first account of how skin conductance response varies between nonverbally vocalized emotions, with significant differences (p < .05). In sum, we provide behavioural and psychophysiological data, demographically and language-matched, that supports cultural and emotion effects on vocal emotion recognition and perceived authenticity, as well as the universality hypothesis.DP was supported, during this work, by an European Commission Seventh Framework Programme Marie Curie Career Integration grant (FP7-PEOPLE-2013-CIG-631952), a the Bial Foundation Psychophysiology Grant 2016 grant reference 292/16, and the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT; Portugal) grants: FCT IF/00787/2014, LISBOA-01–0145-FEDER-030907 and DSAIPA/DS/0065/2018 grants, and the iMM Lisboa Director’s Fund Breakthrough Idea Grant 2016; and is co-founder and shareholder of the neuroimaging research services company NeuroPsyAI, Ltd.
