considera-se oportuno ensaiar um retrato das principais tendências que marcam o
acesso a esta instituição de ensino superior, bem como das características sóciodemográficas e académicas dos estudantes que a ela acedem.
La obligación de asistir a la escuela por un tiempo cada vez más largo transformó la escolarización en un pivote narrativo de las biografías juveniles y en un elemento ineludible del proceso de individuación. En Portugal, a la entrada de la escuela secundaria, los jóvenes adolescentes son invitados a formular la elección de una carrera entre un con...
Within an already completed project on vocational choices made by students entering secondary education in Portugal, a finding has deserved our particular attention: the renunciation of influence, that is, the belief that the choice made was free from any kind of influence, which emerged as a common value shared by all the young people surveyed. Ba...
Tradicionalmente, a promoção de disposições cosmopolitas tem sido um importante elemento formativo das elites portuguesas e, simultaneamente, um ingrediente diferenciador, num contexto de baixas taxas de escolarização da população. Após três décadas de intensa democratização da educação e de ampla generalização da experiência escolar, a situação mu...

In Portugal, the imposition of a numerus clausus system at the HE entrance has contributed to the strengthening of a hierarchy of excellence in the school system. At the same time, it has introduced an increased uncertainty regarding the possibility to accomplish future projects and ambitions.
The case of medical courses has been paradigmatic in...
In contemporary societies, adolescents' individuation is largely staged within the educational system, and is defined by several schooling options. This is particularly true when young people reach upper secondary education, as this transition implies the definition of a personal project. In the Portuguese context, authenticity is linked to the ‘ob...
The obligation to go to school for an increasingly long period of time has turned schooling into a crucial dimension of biographical construction. In this respect the transition to secondary education is proving to be a particularly critical moment, given that the young person is asked to define a project (for the future) by choosing an educational...

The 2011 edition of Education at a Glance: OECD Indicators enables countries to see themselves in the light of other countries’ performance. It provides a broad array of comp...

Contemporary Portuguese higher education differs radically from what distinguished it four short decades back. It has acquired new dimensions and a new public.

University 'failure' is the starting point of this article, which is based on a case study at the University of Lisbon. The objective is to discuss concepts constructing 'school failure' as a problem in higher education systems, with special attention being given to contemporary debates on 'youth condition' in strongly individualised societies. The...
Most often shown socially - as well as sociologically - as a social group with significant room for collective and almost a-social autonomy, Brazil’s grande bourgeoisie inspired extremely generalistic writing that contributed in large part to the crystallisation of its identity. With Lisbon’s grande bourgeoisie as the focal point for analysis and t...
This article investigates some of the arguments concerning the relationship between school and work and assesses them against the backdrop of the specific nature of how modernity has been constructed in the Portuguese school system. We conclude by arguing that currently it is increasingly relevant for learners to understand what it means to learn t...
