Perfil académico e profissional de professores do ensino superior que asseguram a formação inicial de professores

Consiste em um projeto de investigação que pretende aprofundar o conhecimento sobre o perfil académico dos professores do ensino superior público que asseguram a formação inicial de professores em Portugal, tanto do ensino básico, como do ensino secundário. Nesse projeto, estou a desenvolver atividades de apoio, junto à equipa, na caracterização do perfil académico e profissional dos professores que, nas instituições de ensino superior, asseguram a formação inicial de professores. A tarefa de apoio consiste inicialmente em organizar e relacionar todos os dados dos currículos dos docentes do ensino superior público politécnico em Portugal fornecidos pela A3ES. A partir da organização desses dados, preenchidos em uma grelha detalhada, são realizadas breves análises e elaboração de sínteses dos dados relacionados para poder responder aos objetivos desse projeto financiado pelo EDULOG.

DEMOSpEJS La democracia en las escuelas como fundamento de una educación para la Justicia Social.

Any endeavor for Social Justice should be concurrently an effort of democratization (Fraser, 2008). Building an Education for Social Justice must, therefore, necessarily address democracy in schools and the teaching of democracy. Thus, this proposal is based on the persistent research, development, transfer and training on Education for Social Justice of the research group "Educational Change for Social Justice", whom, in this occasion, takes a further step focusing on democracy in schools. To this aim, it is strengthened by the Institute for Human Rights, Democracy and Culture of Peace (DEMOSPAZ) and the "Hermanadas por la Justicia Social" school network. It proposes an international study among 6 research teams from 3 Europeans and 3 Latin Americans countries. The current line of work harmonizes and reflects the latest international advances that request for greater democratization in school and in society. The three main objectives of this research are: To know the conceptions of democracy from the school community members and the praxis at school context. To understand the significances and political meanings that underlie the school democratic culture. To deepen the knowledge and development of democracy for an education in and for Social Justice based on an action-research process with a network of schools committed to Social Justice To achieve these three complementary studies are proposed: Phenomenographic study. The participants will be 270 teachers, 60 principals and 270 students from 6 countries and of different educational level, context and school ownership. Ethnographic study complemented with Social Network Analysis (SNA). At least 9 schools will be studied in 6 countries, involving principals, teachers, students, administration, staff and families in order to understand the senses and political meanings of the school community in relation to democracy. Action-Research will be held with a 7 school network that is characterized by working for Education for Social Justice. It seeks to transform and generate knowledge about education in and from democracy through a Project Based Learning (PBL) approach. The research has been designed to optimize its impact and internationalization. In this way, above collaborating with DEMOSPAZ and with the Hermanadas school network we stress the participation of 6 teams from six countries, and RILME network.
