In the educational context, three models of leadership with increasing importance - ethics, transformational and moral - have emerged, being the most developed the model of transformational leadership. This study aimed to analyze the internal structure of leadership questionnaires in the educational context and to know the construct validity of the ethical, moral and transformational dimensions of leadership in the Portuguese educational context. In a sample of 204 teachers, it was possible to verify the behavior of the three questionnaires in the validity of the construct and in the reliability. Leadership scales (Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and Moral Leadership Questionnaire) presented good levels of adjustment to the factor structure and reliability values between acceptable and excellent. Considering the results obtained of innovative character in the level of the psychometric study of the different measures in the educational context will be relevant, in the future, to assess their concurrent validity in different samples of teachers.

Abstract:The self-determination theory proposes a multidimensional concept of motivation and distinguishes how different types of motivation can be promoted or discouraged. For the application of the theory of self-determination to the educational context, this study aimed to adapt and validate the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS) in the educational context. The scale was answered by 419 teachers from 30 schools from the North and Center of Portugal. Factor analysis indicated that the 19-item scale has the same factor structure as that obtained in the original study. In this study, it was possible to identify that the items that constitute the MWMS are good indicators of constructs to be measured in an educational context and the factors are properly individualized. The scale showed five robust dimensions that permit a broad understanding of motivation, similar to the studies of the original scale. The dimension with the best internal consistency is demotivation, while introjected regulation obtained the lowest coefficient.Keywords: self-determination, motivation, questionnaire, teachers Estudo de Validação em Contexto Educativo da Versão Portuguesa da Escala Multidimensional de Motivação no TrabalhoResumo: A teoria da autodeterminação propõe uma conceptualização multidimensional da motivação e distingue como os diferentes tipos de motivação podem ser promovidos ou desencorajados. Para a sua aplicação ao contexto educativo, o presente estudo teve como objetivo a adaptação e validação da Escala Multidimensional de Motivação no Trabalho (MWMS). A escala foi respondidapor 468 professores em 30 agrupamentos de escolas do norte e centro de Portugal. A análise fatorial indicou uma escala de 19 itens com estrutura de fatores semelhante à obtida nos estudos originais. Neste estudo foi possível constatar que os itens que constituem o MWMS são bons indicadores dos construtos que se pretendem medir em contexto educativo e que os fatores se encontram devidamente individualizados. A escala demonstrou cinco dimensões robustas que admitem um entendimento lato da motivação, comuns aos estudos da escala original. A dimensão com melhor consistência interna é a desmotivação e a regulação introjetada é a mais baixa.

This paper presents a case report of a child with Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy on the right arm, with C5, C6, and C7 nerve injuries. The symptoms presented at birth and at the time of diagnosis were absence of movement in the right arm but with mobility of the fingers; internal rotation of the injured limb with elbow extension; active flexion of the wrist and fingers; and ulnar deviation of the hand. The rehabilitation plan followed the conservative approach and included different intervention strategies (passive and active mobilisation, kinesio tape, use of splints, bimanual stimulation, etc.) carried out by the occupational therapist and the physical therapist. The rehabilitation allowed the child to have a functional limb for daily activities, with bimanual motor integration and coordination; passive and active range of motion in the different joints except for pronation, sensibility, and maintained strength. In conclusion, it can be said that this case report describes a set of rehabilitation strategies that were used in the conservative treatment of a child with NBPP and the functional gains they allowed. Early intervention, parental involvement in the rehabilitation process, and continuous follow-up of the child favoured the prognosis and allowed the prevention of functional sequelae of the limb.

O conceito de liderança tem sido alvo de análise e estudo, particularmente no contexto organizacional. Existe bastante complexidade em definir a liderança resultando num conjunto vasto de definições, contudo, existe alguma confluência na representação da liderança enquanto o processo de influência exercido como forma de atingir determinados objetivos. O presente estudo teve como objetivos: realizar a validação das escalas de Liderança ética, moral e transformacional em contexto educativo. Numa amostra de 204 professores foi possível verificar o comportamento dos três questionários ao nível da validade de constructo e da fiabilidade. As escalas de Liderança avaliadas (ética, transformacional e moral) apresentaram bons níveis de ajustamento à estrutura fatorial e valores de fiabilidade entre aceitável e excelente.
