- Higher education students’ dropout intention: relational factors and life managementPublication . Ferreira, Manuela; Margarida Campos, Sofia; Guiné, Raquel; Duarte, João; Abrantes, José Luís; Rosário Cabral, Lídia; Balula, JessicaSchool dropouts are a problem with which educational systems have been struggling over the last years. This issue, that may jeopardize the quality of the school institution and of the education system itself, tends to get more and more serious and may be related to the students’ Quality of Academic Life (QAL) and to the formal nature of the learning processes. To identify the relationship between the Quality of Academic Life and higher education students’ dropout intentions and to analyse the impact of some socio-demographic variables on higher education students’ dropout intention were the main objectives that were defined for this study. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study was conducted. In order to collect the data that will be used in our study, we used a questionnaire that allowed us to gather information about the demographic characterization of the students and of their parents and the Brazilian Reasons for Higher Education Dropout Scale (M-ES; 2015). The sample consists of 891 students from polytechnic higher education institutions who were attending courses in different scientific fields. Participants are mostly female (68.2%), with a mean age of 19.68 years (± 2.34 years). Students who are ≤ 19 years old are those who show a better quality of life in dimension that involve their personal and interpersonal lives, their study conditions, their institutional life and their overall quality of life. Female students exhibit higher ratings when they refer to the quality of their personal life, their career, their study conditions, to their institutional and their overall quality of life, while male students reveal a better interpersonal quality of life. The causes of school dropout in higher education are multiple and the implementation of interventions that can provide students with an easier and better academic and institutional integration are increasingly important, a procedure that will involve the strengthening of the support provided by the academic services in order to better monitor and optimize processes and to provide more information about the requirements of academic life.

- Redes de investigação interinstitucionais e o processo ensino aprendizagem: como avaliar e monitorizar - A realidade do Instituto Politécnico de ViseuPublication . Guiné, Raquel; Ferreira, Manuela; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Abrantes, José LuísO Instituto Politécnico de Viseu (IPV) tem 5 escolas, 400 professores e aproximadamente 5200 estudantes. O IPV oferece formação desde o ISCED 4 ao 7, na formação de professores, multimédia e comunicação, estudos culturais, desportos, engenharias, gestão, marketing, turismo, ciências da saúde, ciências agrárias, veterinárias e alimentares, apoiando as suas atividades em inúmeras parcerias e projetos. Inclui uma unidade de investigação, CI&DETS, que tem dois centros de investigação autónomos (CI&DEI – ciências sociais e CISeD – serviços digitais) e dois polos de investigação (UICISA – ciências da saúde e CERNAS – ciências naturais). A investigação é orientada para a cooperação com a comunidade envolvente, contribuindo para a implementação de soluções nas organizações. O IPV realiza atividades de cooperação a nível nacional e internacional com cerca de 100 instituições. Ai desenvolve projetos bilaterais e multilaterais, tendo também centenas de vínculos em diversas redes internacionais. As suas atividades de investigação são orientadas para o serviço à comunidade e constituem pilares do processo de ensino aprendizagem, com uma participação ativa dos estudantes, através da realização de estágios, projetos e dissertações em colaboração com empresas e organizações, mas também através do envolvimento em projetos de investigação, podendo ser enquadrados em Unidades Curriculares. A monitorização das atividades de investigação faz-se no âmbito do Sistema Interno de Garantia da Qualidade, atualmente em processo de acreditação pela A3E’S (Agência de Avaliação e Acreditação do Ensino Superior, em Portugal). Em resultado das avaliações periódicas são analisados indicadores no âmbito do ensino, transferência de conhecimento, divulgação científica e prestação de serviços à comunidade.
- Revalidation of the academic quality of life questionnaire for students attending portuguese polytechnic higher education institutionsPublication . Ferreira, Manuela; Campos, Sofia Margarida; Guiné, Raquel; Duarte, João; Abrantes, José Luís; Cabral, Lídia RosárioIntroduction: School dropout is a problem that affects higher education and the schools that are part of this educational system. School dropout has increased over time and is closely connected with students’ Quality of Academic Life. Objectives: To test the factorial structure of the Questionnaire of Academic Experience for Portuguese higher education students. Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. A student socio-demographic background questionnaire and Almeida Soares and Ferreira’s Academic Experiences Questionnaire (QAE) (2002) were used as data collection instruments. The sample consists of 891 students aged between 17 and 40 years, with a mean age of 19.68 years (± 2.34 years). Results: The QAE designed by Almeida, et al. (2002), after validation, was composed of 35 items. Confirmatory factorial analysis demonstrates the validity of its structure in five dimensions: personal, study, interpersonal, career and institutional. Statistics on Quality of Academic Life have an average index of 60.46%; ± 10.02 sd. Female students show higher rates in dimensions such as: personal quality of life, profession/career, study, institutional, and overall quality of life. Male students show higher mean values in the quality of life, interpersonal and career dimensions Conclusions: The results of the present study support the psychometric adequacy of the QAE Almeida, et al. (2002) designed for the Portuguese population, indicating that it can be used in tests conducted in this field of knowledge.
