Self-regulated learning (SRL) subsumes key aspects of the learning process, such as cognitive strategies, metacognition and motivation, in one coherent construct. Central to this construct are the autonomy and responsibility of students to take charge of their own learning. Skills for self-regulation can be encouraged both directly and indirectly through a range of learning activities. In this book we look specifically at the ways in which technology enhanced learning environments (TELEs) have been used to support self-regulation. The book provides an overview of recent studies on SRL in TELEs in Europe – a perspective which is new and has not been articulated hitherto. It addresses concep...
Cenas Portuguesas é, como o título indica, um conjunto de cenas, isto é, de contos que são cenas vivas, pitorescas, satíricas e outras talvez melancólicas sobre uma certa forma de ser português. Dez contos onde se passeiam figuras dum país à esquina do planeta: uma Dona Preciosa, emblema duma rua de Lisboa; um tal Sr. Rato, ex-agente da PIDE e taxista nos anos 80; Uma Linda de Guadalupe, moça que nos anos 60 veio cantar para Lisboa e aí se perde; um certo grupo de adolescentes que se descobre vivendo o jogo da vida numa partida de futebol... CENAS PORTUGUESAS, como quem diz, cenas de Lisboa, ou de Braga, de alguém recordando a Calçada do Tojal, rua do mundo, espelho humano. Um e...
This fascinating history reassesses the consequences of Portugal's flourishing private trade with Asia, including increased tensions between the growing urban merchant class and the still-dominant landed aristocracy. James C. Boyajian shows how Portuguese-Asian commerce formed part of a global trading network that linked not only Europe and Asia but also—for the first time—Asia, West Africa, Brazil, and Spanish America. He also argues that, contrary to previous scholarly opinion, nearly half of the Portuguese-Asian trade was controlled by New Christians—descendants of Iberian Jews forcibly converted to Christianity in the 1490s.
Numa época em que os senhores ainda tinham poder nas suas propriedades, permitindo a morte ou a vida, a fome ou a abundância, a paz ou a guerra, três irmãos veem a sua vida alterar-se quando recebem a notícia da morte de seu pai D. Henrique, senhor de Monsaraz. Um tutor seria escolhido, mas, no último minuto, um misterioso testamento surge. A suspeita de que Henrique não tenha morrido acidentalmente, durante uma caçada, é levantada. A verdade poderá ser demasiado perigosa para o herdeiro e para Monsaraz. Nesta era, Portugal é governado por Afonso IV, forte e determinado, que mantém as contendas com o seu genro Afonso XI de Castela e pretende ver o seu filho Pedro, herdeiro do tro...
Autumn, 1565: When an actor's daughter is murdered on the banks of Kyoto's Kamo River, master ninja Hiro Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo are the victim's only hope for justice. As political tensions rise in the wake of the shogun's recent death, and rival warlords threaten war, the Kyoto police forbid an investigation of the killing, to keep the peace--but Hiro has a personal connection to the girl, and must avenge her. The secret investigation leads Hiro and Father Mateo deep into the exclusive world of Kyoto's theater guilds, where they quickly learn that nothing, and no one, is as it seems. With only a mysterious golden coin to guide them, the investigators uncover a forbidden love affair, a missing mask, and a dangerous link to corruption within the Kyoto police department that leaves Hiro and Father Mateo running for their lives.
