Student involvement in the school and the perception of parental support are core variables in the context of studies on personal and school adjustment of children and adolescents and should be considered in the context of socio-educational intervention. In this study, we formulated the following objectives: i) to understand the differences in students’ involvement in school and the perception of parental support, according to several socio- demographic and school variables, ii) to analyse the relationship between involvement and the perception of parental support iii) to outline socio-educational intervention strategies in the contexts of children’s lives. This is a non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional study by means of a non-probabilistic convenience sample consisting of 150 children, aged between 10 and 16 years, attending the 2nd and 3rd cycles basic education [5th – 9th years of schooling] attending a school in the central region of Portugal. The data collection instruments were “Students’ Engagement in School: a Four-Dimensional Scale – SES-4DS” (Veiga 2013, 2016), the “Perceived Parental Support Scale” (Veiga, 2011) and a part with socio-demographic and school questions was added. We found significant differences in overall (and partial) amounts of student involvement and the perception of parental support, depending on the age, gender (in agency and behaviour subscales), school difficulties/retentions and methods of study (time, a place to study and a study schedule). We also found positive and significant relationships between student involvement and perception of parental support. The results are in line with the scientific literature in the field, which highlights the key role of the variables, student involvement and perception of parental support in the academic and psychosocial adjustment of young people. These should be considered in the context of socio-educational intervention. Given the above, we present areas and action strategies promoting parent and student involvement in the educational process.

Introduction: Institutionalized children exposed to early adverse experiences are a particularly vulnerable group with a high risk of developing health problems. Objectives: i) to know the representations of attachment in institutionalized children; ii) to understand if there are differences of attachment, according to some sociodemographic variables; iii) outline socio-educational intervention strategies in the children’s life’s contexts. Methods: This is an exploratory and cross-sectional study, using for this purpose, a non-probabilistic and convenience sample composed of 82 institutionalized children, aged between 8 and 17 years old. The gathering instruments were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Inventory Attachment for Children and Adolescents. Results: The results show that most children have secure attachment representations, followed by the avoidant attachment representations. We also found signiicant differences in the results of attachment, according to the gender (in avoidant attachment and ambivalent attachment) and in the institutionalization time (in the ambivalent attachment). Conclusions: The results show promising lines of research, being our purpose to outline socio-educational intervention strategies for children in their pathways of life by promoting protective factors, especially the establishment of secure relationships, thus promoting better quality of life and well-being.

Introduction: Resilience is a core variable in the context of studies on the psychosocial adjustment and school children and teenagers, and should be considered in the context of strategies to promote their well- being and quality of life. Objectives: To know the relationship between resilience, parental support and some sociodemographic variables; outline socio-educational intervention strategies in contexts of children’s lives. Methods: This is a non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional study, having used a non- probabilistic convenience sample consisting of 150 children, aged between 10 and 16 years old, attending the 2nd and 3rd cycles of Basic Education. The gathering instruments were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Inventory Measuring State and Child Resilience (Martins, 2005) and Perception Parental Support Scale (Veiga, 2011). Results: Results show that there are signiicant differences in the values of the current, past and overall resilience, between the age groups children, revealing that children aged between 10 and 11 years have higher results in resilience than young people aged between 14 and 16 years. We also observed signiicant differences in the current resilience, depending on the parents’ marital status (higher when parents are married). We also observed positive and signiicant correlations between resilience and perception of parental support. Conclusions: Results are in line with the scientiic literature in the ield that highlights the key role of resilience in school and psychosocial adjustment of children, and should be considered within the design of socio-educational intervention strategies. Keywords: Resilience. Parental support. Attachment

Enquadramento: O interesse pelo tema Educação Sexual germinou da conscientiza-ção de que a sexualidade está na essência do homem, com o ideal de ser experimentada e vivida; procura-se cada vez mais expandir esses conhecimentos com responsabilidade e naturalidade, principalmente frente à responsabilidade de educadores por participar de uma capacitação oferecida pelo grupo do Instituto Kaplan Programa / PROJETO VALE SONHAR. Objetivo: Proposemo-nos analisar a importancia da metodologia das oficinas formati-vas na Educação Sexual na Escola;Determinar a eficácia das oficinas nos conhecimentos sobre sexualidade nos adolescentes;Construir conhecimento sobre sexualidade, desmitifi- cando conceitos. Método: Foi desenvolvida uma intervenção formativa com aplicação de 03 (três) ofi-cinas, em que foram avaliados os conhecimentos antes e após a intervenção formativa. Du-rante estas oficinas foram aplicados questionários e coleta de depoimentos dos participantes. A amostra foi constituída por adolescentes de ambos os sexos, que frequentavam o 1º ano do ensino médio na Escola Estadual de Educação Básica Costa Rêgo, no ano letivo de 2013 e 2014. Resultados: Os conhecimentos sobre planejamento familiar, infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e reprodução dos adolescentes na maioria aumentaram após a intervenção formativa no âmbito da afetividade/sexualidade na adolescência. Os conhecimentos estão relacionados com a idade no sentido em que são os mais novos que demonstram mais co-nhecimentos. Na separação dos conhecimentos por sexo são as meninas que manifestam mais conhecimentos, assim como os residentes em meio urbano. A existência de irmãos, a idade e escolaridade dos pais não influenciam os conhecimentos dos adolescentes. Obser-vou-se também que os adolescentes que já tinham iniciado relações sexuais são aqueles que detêm menos conhecimentos. Conclusão: Os dados mostram que as oficinas realizadas e os questionários servi-ram para conscientização dos alunos e contribuiu para a redução dos índices de evasão escolar por motivos de gravidez, mostrando assim a importância de se tratar de educação sexual no ambiente escolar. Palavras-chave: Adolescência, Sexualidade, Educação Sexual, Planejamento Famili-ar, Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis.

Enquadramento – Os adolescentes com acesso a conhecimentos, informação e motivação, para adotarem comportamentos sexuais seguros, serão capazes de alterar as suas atitudes e os seus comportamentos. Objetivos – Caraterizar os adolescentes relativamente às variáveis de contexto sexual; identificar os conhecimentos dos adolescentes sobre IST e planeamento familiar; identificar as atitudes dos adolescentes face à sexualidade, pílula e preservativos; identificar a motivação dos adolescentes para terem ou não relações sexuais; determinar a eficácia de uma intervenção formativa no âmbito da sexualidade nos conhecimentos sobre IST, Planeamento Familiar, bem como nas suas atitudes face à sexualidade. Métodos - Investigação experimental de campo. O instrumento de recolha de dados é um questionário, elaborado pela equipa de investigadores do Projeto Monitorização de Indicadores de Saúde Infanto-Juvenil (MISIJ) no domínio temático da “Sexualidade Adolescente”. Este permite caracterizar sociodemograficamente e sexualmente os adolescentes, inclui ainda a Escala de atitudes face à sexualidade em adolescentes (AFSA) (Nelas et al., 2010), Escala de conhecimentos sobre infeções de transmissão sexual (Nelas et al., 2010), Escala de atitudes face ao preservativo (Ramos et al., 2009), Escala de atitudes face à pílula (Ramos et al., 2009), Escala de conhecimentos sobre planeamento familiar (Nelas et al., 2010), Escala de motivação para fazer e para não fazer sexo (Alferes, 1997). Resultados - A amostra é constituída por 56 estudantes do 9º ano de escolaridade (28 do grupo de controlo e 28 do grupo experimental). A maioria dos adolescentes do grupo de controlo é do sexo feminino (71,4%), contrariamente ao grupo de controlo onde 64,3% é do sexo masculino. As raparigas do grupo de controlo revelaram mais conhecimentos sobre infeções transmissíveis sexualmente, em ambos os momentos da avaliação, os adolescentes do sexo masculino, em ambos os momentos, revelam mais conhecimentos sobre o planeamento familiar, comparativamente às adolescentes do género feminino. Aos índices positivos antes da intervenção formativa corresponderam melhores índices após a intervenção formativa. Conclusão - Os profissionais de saúde devem, através da educação para a saúde, promover atitudes que promovam a saúde sexual e reprodutiva e promover o desenvolvimento de competências indispensáveis para adoção de comportamentos saudáveis. Palavras-chave - Adolescentes; Sexualidade; Educação sexual; Intervenção formativa.

Higher education institutions, responsible for training social educators, should ensure the construction of a profile marked by their technical versatility and whose socio-educational intervention is directed at all people, regardless of their situations in life. Reflection on the construction of this profile is fundamental given the difficulties of identity that the profession faces. In this context, we sought to develop a study which would allow us to identify how the students of a degree course in Social Education characterise this professional, in order to reflect on the contribution of training provided by the institution concerned and, if necessary, make the adjustments arising from the results. This is a qualitative, exploratory study, using an unstructured questionnaire applied to a convenience sample of 140 Portuguese students of the three years of a degree course in Social Education. Its emerging categorical content analysis was performed using the NVivo software, version 11. The main results point to a broad vision of the profession and are not limited to the work geared to specific populations or issues, valuing the relevance of the professional in the field of non-assistance socio-educational intervention. The main area of overlap between training objectives and students’ perceptions about practice allows the impact of training to be positively assessed, despite possible curricular adjustments resulting from further analysis, including the need to reinforce community intervention, undervalued by students, even though it plays a key role for social educators.

The functional profile of the social educator is based on the development of theoretical, technical and personal/relational skills, which should guide training courses organization. Assuming the shortcomings of a merely theoretical approach, besides a consistent preparation in theoretical and essential technical contents for socio-educational intervention, practice in context should be favoured as an opportunity to develop professional skills, together with a critical reflection on the functional profile. This study emerges from the need to reflect and rethink the internship, as well as how the respective supervision is developed, of the degree in social education at the School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, and it is based on the students’ perceptions about the impact of the internship on personal development. This is a qualitative and exploratory study, using the documentary analysis of 50 final internship reports. From the content analysis, four categories emerged referring to gains in terms of acquiring and managing knowledge, development of technical skills, personal and relational development and reinforcement of professional identity. The importance given to personal and relational development should be noted (41.4% of mentions) taking into account its relevance in constructing a professional identity. Findings on the technical skills and on the increase of profession knowledge, also by mobilising theoretical training, positively reinforce the internship model that is based on a proximity supervision approach and on a dialogical perspective of the professional learning.

Teachers’ emotional competences and well-being are fundamentally important to developing and maintaining positive relationships in the classroom, which can contribute to improving pedagogical action. References to several intervention programmes are found in the literature with the purpose of changing the practices, attitudes, and beliefs of teachers, who show evidence of a significant improvement in personal competences and school success. Therefore, an intervention with teachers integrating a broader line of research was carried out, involving parents and students as well. It consists of a programme which promotes personal (well-being and emotional intelligence) and professional (acquiring differentiated pedagogical strategies) competences over a period of six months, followed by a focus group to assess the contribution of an empowerment programme with the intention of promoting school success. The preliminary action-research study involved 10 teachers of two classes with students who show disruptive behaviour in the 7th year in a school in the central region of Portugal. The teachers, of both genders, are aged between 44 and 52, and belong to several recruitment groups. The main research question was: “To what extent does an intervention programme, intended for training, contribute to developing personal and professional competences in teachers of the 3rd cycle of basic education?” The teachers revealed a rather favourable view of their participation in the programme, considering that it helped them perceive some behaviours and practices which are less adjusted to their action in the classroom with these students (shouting, scolding, etc.). From the pretest to the posttest, statistically significant differences were found in assessing their own emotions and in their use. Signs of improvement in positive affections and satisfaction with life were also found, though with a marginal significance. The preliminary data in this empowerment programme for these educational agents points towards the importance of teachers’ awareness in what concerns their pedagogical action, as well as the need to change traditional pedagogical practices that contribute to discouraging students towards learning. The need to establish closer and systematic contact with the students and their families in order to meet their needs and expectations was also highlighted.
