- An analysis of the free software PSPP from a researcher’s perspectivePublication . Costa, Juliana; Gonçalves, VítorStatistical software is present in the daily lives of companies/organizations and higher education institutions in contemporary times, making it necessary to train higher education students in its use. One of the biggest constraints on using statistical software in the teaching context is the high cost of proprietary software licenses, so it is necessary to look for alternatives that allow statistical analysis to be worked on in the classroom. This case study aims to present the free software PSPP as an alternative to be explored in teaching. Through the use experience of a student in the master’s program in ICT in Education and Training at the Bragança School of Education in 2024, the study presents the main features of PSPP and the student’s considerations about its use compared to SPSS. The study addresses the user’s vision, demonstrating that PSPP is a good alternative, mainly for use within the classroom context.
- Artificial intelligence in teacher training: benefits, challenges and toolsPublication . Gonçalves, Bruno F.The use of artificial intelligence has emerged as an important tool for teacher training, providing new approaches to the development of pedagogical skills, classroom management, and the personalization of teaching. This research aims to identify the most relevant AI tools for teacher training and to examine the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into teacher training, with a focus on the advantages of personalizing teaching and the difficulties associated with adopting new technologies in the educational context. The methodology used is a literature review, in which studies, scientific articles, and reports on the application of AI in teacher training are analyzed to identify the technological tools available for teaching. The results suggest that AI has enormous potential to transform teacher training, offering tools that make it possible to personalize the training process, adapting it to teachers' needs and learning styles. However, the implementation of these tools faces challenges such as the need for ongoing teacher training, resistance to adopting new technologies, and the lack of technological infrastructure in some educational institutions.
- The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Promoting Accessibility for Students with Disabilities: The Landscape of Inclusion in Vocational and Higher EducationPublication . Vitor Gonçalves; Gonçalves, Vítor; Santos, Leila Maria AraújoThe inclusion of students with disabilities in Vocational and Technical Education (VTE) faces challenges that go beyond physical barriers and encompass communication and pedagogical limitations. This research investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies as strategic tools to promote accessibility at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). The research was motivated by the need to overcome the still-nascent adoption of these technologies in educational institutions, with a view to the ethical and critical training of teachers and the empowerment of students with disabilities. The central objective was to investigate and systematise innovative pedagogical practices that utilise AI technologies to personalise educational support and adapt content to students’ specific needs. Methodologically, the research adopted a mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach of an exploratory-descriptive nature. Data collection involved a population of approximately 800 students with disabilities (physical or motor, visual, hearing, intellectual, multiple, ASD (autism spectrum disorder), high abilities or giftedness, fibromyalgia and similar conditions) studying at the EPT at UFSM, of whom 45 participated. In the quantitative part, as of December 2025, we characterised the initial landscape of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources and other digital technologies to promote accessibility for people with disabilities or specific educational needs in Professional and Technological Education and in Higher Education at UFSM. The data reveal low adoption and limited awareness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools among respondents. The majority state that they do not use, or have never heard of, specific applications for academic support, such as chatbots, literature review tools, writing assistants, tools for creating visual content and presentations, or tools for adapting teaching materials to improve accessibility. A lack of, or very low, knowledge of the subject predominates, with frequent responses indicating a lack of prior reflection on the impact of AI on accessibility. The study highlights a critical need for digital literacy and institutional support, bearing in mind that, whilst this research aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4 and 10), it also reinforces the commitment to equity and social justice within the academic environment.
