Abstract(s)
O ensino profissional, que surgiu em 1989 em escolas profissionais, era frequentado por
cerca de 30 mil estudantes no início do milénio e assume, presentemente, um papel cada
vez mais preponderante na formação e escolarização dos jovens que, à chegada ao 10º ano,
escolhem esta via de ensino. O crescimento desta formação tem sido constante e acentuouse
desde 2005, quando a oferta de cursos profissionais foi alargada às escolas secundárias
públicas, registando-se atualmente cerca de 118 mil jovens a frequentar o ensino
profissional, ou seja, um número quatro vezes superior ao do início do século.
Apesar do crescimento e do reconhecimento em termos escolares, esta modalidade de
formação é ainda socialmente estigmatizada e associada a percursos de insucesso escolar.
Deste modo, damos voz e ouvimos a opinião dos alunos sobre o curso que frequentam
nesta modalidade de ensino profissional para confirmar ou contestar esta imagem
associada aos cursos profissionais.
Em termos metodológicos, optámos por um estudo de caso numa escola profissional,
localizada no distrito de Lisboa. Depois obter as devidas autorizações, submetemos um
inquérito por questionário a alunos finalistas de quatro cursos profissionais, que já
frequentaram o curso durante praticamente três anos, já realizaram diversos estágios e
estão a perspetivar o seu futuro profissional. Posteriormente, efetuámos uma análise
descritiva com base nos dados recolhidos.
Neste estudo, concluímos que o perfil socioeducativo dos alunos confirma os resultados de
investigações similares. A maioria já conheceu o insucesso escolar e optou pelo ensino
profissional porque crê que esta formação os qualifica adequadamente para entrar no
mercado de trabalho. Em relação ao curso, os alunos valorizam todos os aspetos relativos
às componentes práticas e, quando concluírem o curso, pretendem encontrar um trabalho
dentro da sua área de formação. Contudo, indiciando uma reconciliação com a escola, um
terço dos jovens equaciona prosseguir estudos superiores.
Professional education, which appeared in 1989 in professional schools, was attended by about 30 thousand students in the beginning of the millennium and assumes, presently, an increasingly important role in the formation and education of young people that, when arriving to the 10th year, choose this mode of education. The growth of this formation has been constant and accentuated since 2005, when this offer was extended to public secondary schools. Nowadays there are about 118,000 young people attending this mode of education, this means, a number four times higher than in the beginning of the century. In spite of the growth and recognition, this mode of formation is still socially stigmatized and associated with school failure. Thus, we give voice and hear the opinion of students that are attending a professional program of education to confirm or disprove the mentioned images associated with professional education programmes. As far as the methodology is concerned, we chose a case study conducted in a professional school located in the Lisbon area. After obtaining the due authorizations, we submitted an inquiry by questionnaire to finalist students of four professional courses, which have attended the course for about three years, have done several trainings and are preparing their professional future. After this, we made a descriptive analyses based on the collected data. In this study, we concluded that the socio-educational profile of these students confirms the results of similar investigations. The majority has known school failure and chose professional education because they believe that this formation prepares them correctly to enter in the world of labour. As far as the course is concerned, the students value all aspects related with the practical components of their course and, when they finish their course, they intend to find a job within their area of formation. Even though, assuming reconciliation with school, one third of the young people plans to continue to study in higher education.
