- Conjectures and democratization of higher education: the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu casePublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo eHigher education in Portugal its characterized by the implementation, in the last two decades of the XX century, of a binary system: university and polytechnic studies. The establishment of polytechnic education allowed an effective democratization of the access to higher education. However, this process took time to be implemented and we still verify, today, persistent dichotomies with the university system. Nevertheless, it is unquestionable that, the institution of this higher education system, allowed a redistribution of the regional offer and the possibility for young people, coming from socioeconomically disadvantaged sectors of society, to have access to higher education, contributing to reducing geographic, social, and economic contrasts. In this reflection, we intend to address the specific case of the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, as the first institution of polytechnic education created at national level. We have revised the data obtained in several investigations that took place between 2006 and 2020 (557 surveys), in search of, in a longitudinal perspective, to verify the changes in the social profiles of its students, in their access to higher education, their motivations and professional expectations.
- Contextos de democratização do acesso ao ensino superior: uma abordagem sociológica sobre o Instituto Politécnico de ViseuPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo eA instituição do ensino politécnico em Portugal permitiu uma efetiva democratização do acesso ao ensino superior. Contudo, este processo foi de implementação morosa e não isenta de persistentes dicotomias com o seu congénere ensino universitário. É questionável que, a instituição do sistema de ensino superior binário, permitiu uma redistribuição da oferta regional e a possibilidade de sectores da sociedade, socioeconomicamente mais desfavorecidos, acederem ao ensino superior, contribuído para o atenuar das dicotomias geográficas, sociais e económicas. Pretendemos, nesta reflexão, abordar o caso específico do Instituto Politécnico de Viseu, como a primeira instituição deste subsistema de ensino a ser implementada a nível nacional. Partimos de dados obtidos em investigações ocorridas entre 2006 e 2020, procurando, numa perspetiva longitudinal, verificar alterações nos perfis sociais dos seus alunos, nas suas motivações de acesso ao ensino e nas suas expetativas profissionais, após a obtenção do diploma de licenciado. Os resultados evidenciam um aumento da representatividade dos alunos finalistas das classes de baixos recursos económicos e qualificacionais e uma diminuição dos alunos das classes médias, a persistência de uma procura regional da educação superior e elevadas expetativas dos alunos face à importância da obtenção do diploma no seu futuro profissional.

- Ensino politécnico, empreendedorismo e transição para o trabalhoPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo eO crescente aumento do desemprego entre os diplomados do ensino superior ultrapassa a simples questão do fluxo de entrada no sistema de ensino superior em Portugal, o processo de transição para o mercado trabalho complexificou-se de uma forma evidente, refletindo um aumento da concorrência no mercado de trabalho e escassez de oportunidades de carreira no mercado de trabalho, adiando as expetativas profissionais dos mais jovens. Este movimento tem ganho, nos últimos anos, uma dimensão crescente e, atualmente, representa uma das grandes preocupações das diversas entidades envolvidas neste processo. Consequentemente, promover o empreendedorismo no ensino superior pode representar hoje, um apoio central no processo de transição para o trabalho dos diplomados. O programa Poliempreende representa, neste movimento, os esforços do Ensino Superior Politécnico neste sentido. Suportando-nos nos resultados alcançados com a aplicação do inquérito on-line aplicado aos participantes deste programa, pretendemos aqui dar um contributo para conhecer e refletir, de uma forma exploratória, sobre a relação entre empreendedorismo no ensino superior, diplomas e mercado de trabalho. Palavras-chave: Ensino superior politécnico, empreendedorismo, transição para o trabalho.
- Ensino Superior e a percepção da empatia em alunos - um estudo sobre as competências emocionaisPublication . Santos, Maria João Sousa; Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo eEsta análise decorre do projeto «Percursos formativos, transição para o trabalho e empreendedorismo: perspetivas sobre o Ensino Politécnico em Portugal» objetivo de analisar a transição para o trabalho dos alunos que frequentam o último ano das licenciaturas dos Institu-tos Politécnicos de Viseu (IPV), Leiria (IPL) e Guarda (IPG). Neste âmbito, numa primeira fase da investigação, em 2019 e 2020, foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário online tendo sido obtidas 658 respostas válidas. Face à dimensão do objeto de estudo, que abrangia a totalidade dos finalistas das respetivas licenciaturas dos três Politécnicos, implica que a amostra recolhida é aleatória e não probabilística. A análise estatística das perguntas fechadas do questionário foi realizada através do programa SPSS, segundo a escala de Likert. Nesta comunicação fazemos o enquadramento sociogeográfico dos finalistas e abordaremos as motivações de acesso e as ex-pectativas face ao emprego. Paralelamente, centrar-nos-emos, nos resultados obtidos nas ques-tões relativas às competências emocionais, especificamente as que agrupamos no fator - per-ceção das emoções do outro. Assim, pretende-se apresentar os resultados que avaliam os níveis de empatia, ou seja, as perceções que facilitam a partilha mútua de sentimentos.

- Entrepreneurial assessment and transition to work: perspectives of Politechnic educations finalistsPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo e; Paiva, TeresaThe creation of polytechnic education in Portugal is positioned to respond to the labour market expectations in terms of human resources. From a developmental perspective, it intends to reinforce equality in access to higher education, adapts the contents and practices to different population groups, and encourage continuous training and recurrent education. Entrepreneurship Education is today a polytechnic goal that covers this higher education institution national network, which has a recognised methodology for entrepreneurship teaching and learning education, shared in terms of methods, contents and coordination. It reaches a wide range of students in different areas of specialisation to develop their skills and abilities, create their own business, or register new patents. The analysis presented is the result of a study carried out on the training paths of students at the Polytechnics of Guarda, Leiria and Viseu. As self-employment is one of the mechanisms that promote the transition to the labour market, it was intended to observe the extent to which it is referred to as an option for accessing higher education. At the same time, it was envisioned to verify how entrepreneurial skills were learned and perceived by the finalists during their academic careers, bearing in mind the assessment made to the courses attended.
- Entrepreneurship education paradoxesPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo e; Paiva, TeresaEntrepreneurship education is commonly recognised as an imperative of higher education. It is seen as a transversal competence essential to be developed in all levels of education. It is a crucial competence to be integrated into the different subjects and scientific areas. Additionally, entrepreneurship is one of the possible ways of accessing the labour market, as can be seen in community directives and national policies. In practical terms, this issue poses new and important challenges to Higher Education Institutions, related to their capacity, together with other actors (economic, social, political, among others), to develop an entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial culture and innovation. The academic context is an essential part of the student environment and, as such, is centrally placed to change and encourage entrepreneurship. Today, higher education institutions represent a significant factor in the transition to work by their graduates. Polytechnic education has a recognised methodology for teaching entrepreneurship and a closer relation with the business market. In consequence, we analysed the student training paths in higher polytechnic education. We focused on the Polytechnics of Guarda, Leiria and Viseu finalists, with the behavioural tendency of other studies identified from the Polytechnics network promoting entrepreneurship. In this way, it was possible to pinpoint some territorial specificities that national studies do not present and a better redefinition of priorities identified by students about institutional processes and programs to support the promotion of employment entrepreneurship. Also, an education paradox regarding the entrepreneurial education goals of HEI was possible to be acknowledged since students claimed for a more practical and entrepreneurial type of learning. It was possible to draw some considerations on the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and the entrepreneurship abilities of teachers and institutions.
- Higher education and employment: a case study of higher education finalistsPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo eThe increasing difficulty of young graduates in accessing to a job reflects the evolution and expansion of higher education and the changings of the labour market characteristics. Unemployment represents, itself, an economic and social problem, and one of the most pressing concerns of young people and families. Bearing in mind that work plays a central role in social integration, in construction of identity and in the social relationship’s structuration of the youngest, its sociological relevance is evident. Consequently, it involves, not only the access to employment, but also the transition to adulthood, in view of the prolongation of youth and educational trajectories. Our object of study is constituted by a sample of 655 surveys of 2019 and 2020 finalists from Guarda, Leiria and Viseu Portuguese Polytechnics. We intend, here, to contribute to the reflection on the importance, for young people, of employment in their motivations accessing higher education and their perceptions and expectations about the professional future. We approach, in parallel, the professional situation in the last year of academic training.
