Abstract: | The academic community of the University of Aveiro (UA, Portugal) has been called to debate learning experiences, to prepare forward-looking training systems, and to share practices. To achieve this, UA outlined a pedagogical innovation Program that has been providing its teachers and students with different technological and methodological options, to help prepare the future of digital education. The objectives of the present paper are: (i) to present a dedicated Program designed to support teachers’ professional development, and (ii) to reporttwo learning contexts that make use of the Program proposals. The two practicesinvolved Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students.The first part of this study follows a descriptive methodology, given the interest in making the reasoning beyond the Program familiar to others. The secondpart makes use of the case study methodology, presenting two cases that directlyderived from the application of the Program. The study provides insights regarding e-learning in STEM Education at the UA and the impact of transformationalstrategies on the community. To encourage active learning and transferability ofthe Program to real-life situations in a non-formal context, a short-term activity is proposed as a suggestion for future work. |
