Fatores preditores do sucesso escolar no ensino secundário

“O segundo capítulo – “Fatores preditores do sucesso escolar no ensino secundário” – de Manuela Ferreira, Ana Paula Cardoso e José Luís Abrantes, continua de certa forma esta discussão, ao identificar variáveis influentes no êxito académico dos estudantes no ensino secundário. Este tema é tanto mais importante se tivermos presente que este ciclo de ensino tem registado taxas de abandono e de insucesso massivas, tendo recentemente atravessado uma profunda mudança em Portugal, com a expansão da escolaridade obrigatória e do ensino profissional. A partir de um inquérito a estudantes do ensino secundário, os autores mostram como alguns fatores são importantes para a perceção da aprendizagem e o rendimento académico, tais como o sentimento de pertença à escola, a motivação intrínseca para o curso, a “conscienciosidade” e a autoestima, a interação dos discentes e com os docentes. Trata-se, pois, de um estudo que identifica fatores promotores do sucesso escolar que não têm sido abordados no debate público e nas orientações governamentais, mas que são certamente relevantes para o desenho de políticas educativas mais eficazes e equitativas” (Veloso e Abrantes, 2013, p. 3).

Velhice e exclusão social: Um estudo no Centro de Convívio e Apoio à Terceira Idade do Tortosendo

O envelhecimento generalizado da população portuguesa tem levado ao aparecimento de novas políticas sociais de curto, médio e longo prazo, que se repercutem na actual organização social com a criação de instituições de apoio aos idosos, às quais é cada vez mais requerido a prestação de um serviço de qualidade. Por isso, elegemos como objecto de estudo uma instituição pioneira em Portugal, o Centro de Convívio e Apoio à Terceira Idade do Tortosendo, e como problemática geral, saber se este contribui para a inserção social do idoso na comunidade local, procurando analisar e compreender o seu contributo no combate à exclusão social. Através de um estudo exploratório, de carácter descritivo, concluímos que esta Instituição desempenha um papel significativo na inserção social do idoso na comunidade local, na medida em que os idosos revelam um forte sentimento de pertença para com a Instituição.

Fundamentos do agir ético em estudantes do ensino superior

Introduction: It is urgent that higher education in health develop a proactive ethico-moral commitment in students which is translated into the creation of socio-professional values. Objectives: To evaluate the ethical foundations which support morality in higher education students. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sithectional study, performed in 345 ESSV/IPV students, 80% female, average age of 20.82 years old. The “Questionário de Cidadania Ativa e Modo de Agir Ético” (CiAMAE) by Cunha (2015) was applied. Results: The results were 74.8% of the students showed a positive/adequate ethical method of acting; (with 45.8% adequate and 29% very adequate). In 25.2% the method of acting was ethically inadequate. The morality of the student’s actions were focused mostly on individualism and were based on the following ethical principles: 68.7% ethical subjectivism (69.1%♂ and 68.6%♀); 56.5% Relativism ( 56.5%♂ and 56.7%♀); 53.9% Deontological Ethics (Kant) (55.8%♂ and 47.0%♀); 11.3% Subjectivism/Ethical Selfishness (7.4%♂ and 12.3%♀). Conclusions: We may infer that the majority of the students do not have/ do not use an impartial consideration of good as criteria for morality of actions. They mostly manifested accepting an ethical subjectivist perspective, which means that good is not considered as a value for everyone. In contrast, applying the criteria of ethical impartiality would imply considering the greater good, and choosing/adopting the universal point of view in which any rational and enlightened student would choose for him/ herself and for others that universal greater good.
