Abstract(s)
O ensino profissional assume, presentemente, um papel cada vez mais preponderante na formação e escolarização dos jovens que escolhem esta via de ensino. Com um crescimento constante que se acentuou desde 2005, quando esta oferta foi alargada às escolas públicas, regista-se atualmente um número de cerca de 118 mil jovens a frequentar esta modalidade de formação, que, apesar do crescimento e do reconhecimento em termos escolares é ainda socialmente estigmatizada e associada a percursos de insucesso escolar. Deste modo, ao ser o ensino profissional uma opção para o cumprimento da escolaridade obrigatória de 18 anos e, simultaneamente, uma formação com perspetivas de empregabilidade, é pertinente dar a voz aos alunos sobre o curso que frequentam para confirmar ou contestar esta imagem associada aos cursos profissionais.
Começamos por expor um breve historial que conduziu ao panorama atual do ensino profissional e, de seguida, apresentar os resultados de um estudo de caso realizado numa escola profissional, localizada no distrito de Lisboa. Considerando que o objetivo era investigar as perspetivas dos alunos de uma escola profissional em particular, de modo a aplicar o conhecimento produzido para a melhoria dos cursos e da escola, para além de apresentar o perfil socioeducativo e escolar dos alunos, serão apresentados os resultados relativamente a motivações e expectativas para a frequência de um curso profissional, aspetos valorizados tanto ao nível da frequência do curso como do contexto de trabalho e projetos profissionais dos alunos.
Professional education is assuming an increasingly important role in the formation and education of young people. With a steady growth that has accelerated since 2005, when this offer was extended to public schools, nowadays there is about 118,000 young people attending this mode of education, which, despite growth and recognition it is still socially stigmatized and associated with school failure. Thus, when professional education is an option for the fulfillment of the 18 years of mandatory education and simultaneously an educational trajectory with employment prospects, it is pertinent to give voice to the students that are attending a professional program of education to confirm or disprove the above-mentioned images associated with professional education programs. We begin by exposing a brief history that led to the current panorama of professional education and then present the results of a case study conducted in a professional education program located in a school in the Lisbon area. Whereas the objective was to investigate the prospects of students in this particular school in order to apply the knowledge produced to improve the courses and the school, it is also important to present the socio-educational and academic profile of students, the motivations and expectations for the frequency of a professional program, and the valued aspects both at the course’s frequency level ant the work environment and professional projects.
