Science teaching in most Brazilian Universities tends to focus mainly on lectures and provides few opportunities for the development of modern teaching skills. Our group developed an online tool called Adopt a Bacterium, which consists on a Facebook group where teacher assistants (TAs) can interact with students and have a first contact with student-focused learning approaches. This work shows the TAs’ own assessment of how the tool could be further explored to help them develop skills and become better teachers.
A avaliação imobiliária pelo método do rendimento é uma atividade importante no mercado atual. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre o valor da renda e a yield no mercado imobiliário residencial de arrendamento. Analisam-se as séries de rendas e de yields para quatro anos, o que permite realizar as comparações entre ambas através de uma análise de clusters. Este artigo estuda o valor das rendas por m2 para as tipologias de apartamentos T0_T1 e T2 no mercado imobiliário no concelho de Lisboa, em Portugal, para o período de 2006 a 2009. São também calculadas as yields para as diferentes tipologias, bem como uma análise de clusters para as rendas e para as yields das diferentes séries objeto de estudo. Verifica-se nesta análise que são diferentes os clusters das rendas e das yields bem como a hierarquização dos seus valores. A utilização do modelo de regressão linear neste trabalho visa estimar o valor da oferta de mercado em função da avaliação pelo método do rendimento, dos clusters das yields, da densidade populacional, entre outras. Na análise do mercado imobiliário é importante para o investidor racional conhecer as yields médias das diferentes zonas e como elas se agrupam em termos económico-financeiros e geográficos.
This work aims to verify, through an exploratory factor analysis, which are the determinants of the financial literacy of the Portuguese over 18 years old. The quantitative method is used, by using a questionnaire survey, and 839 surveys were obtained. It is observed that the factors resulting from the exploratory factor analysis are: (1) planning and financial goals to 1-2 years, (2) long-term savings and (3) the taste for numerical calculation. We analyse the statistically significant differences between means regarding gender, school education, the existence of household budgets and age. It is concluded that it is important to obtain some financial training at the beginning and throughout life, to better be able to make the financial family planning, to make applications with better return and to reduce the financial risk of the family. It is concluded that the closer to the retirement age, the more people tend to save, since during retirement income usually decreases.
