The Bologna Process

Considerando as mudanças ocorridas na educação superior europeia com a implementação do Processo de Bolonha (PB) cujas ações impactam diretamente na ação docente e na formação do professor, este artigo tem o objetivo de mapear as pesquisas realizadas em Portugal sobre a formação de professores no contexto do PB com vista a compreender as implicâncias que uma reforma no ensino superior desta amplitude pode impactar nos trabalho docente dos professores. A metodologia utilizada foi revisão sistemática utilizando pesquisa nos Repositórios Científicos de Acesso aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) que agrega metadados das principais instituições universitárias e de pesquisa daquele país. Os resultados demonstram que os estudos sobre os impactos do PB sobre a formação docente ainda são incipientes  e que, dada a dimensão das mudanças em diversos aspectos que envolvem a profissão docente, existe a necessidade de mais pesquisas e estudos que visem investigar e propor melhorias para os problemas levantados.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Formação de professores; Processo de Bolonha; Ensino Superior.     ABSTRACT Considering the changes that have occurred in European higher education with the implementation of the Bologna Process (PB) whose actions have a direct impact on teacher action and teacher training, this article aims to map the research carried out in Portugal on teacher education in the context of PB with a view to understanding the implications that a reform in higher education of this magnitude can impact the teaching work of teachers. The methodology used was a systematic review using a research in the Scientific Repositories of Open Access of Portugal (RCAAP) that aggregates metadata from the main university and research institutions of that country. The results show that the studies on the impacts of PB on teacher education are still incipient and that given the scale of the changes in several aspects that involve the teaching profession, there is a need for more research and studies aimed at investigating and proposing improvements for teachers problems raised.   KEYWORDS: Teacher training; Process of Bologna; Higher education.     RESUMEN Considerando que los cambios ocurridos en la educación superior europea con la implementación del Proceso de Bolonia (PB) cuyas acciones impactan directamente en la acción docente y en la formación del profesor, este artículo tiene el objetivo de mapear las investigaciones realizadas en Portugal sobre la formación de profesores en el contexto del PB con miras a comprender las implicaciones que una reforma en la enseñanza superior de esta amplitud puede impactar en el trabajo docente de los profesores.

The Bologna Process

Higher Education in Europe has undergone massive changes due to technological advancements and changes resulting from the Bologna Process, by which learning should be accessible for all regardless of social exclusion reasons, such as imprisonment. The resulting massification of access to Higher Education requires a flexible and inclusive training offer focused on the student. These are the primary aims of Distance Learning at the Open University of Portugal. The aim of this paper is to understand the viewpoints of twenty-six respondents (students, applicants to courses and senior rehabilitation technicians) on the reality of Higher Education in Distance Learning and e-Learning in a Portuguese prison. This study occurs in a context of a non-positivist paradigm, placing the emphasis on the perception of individuals through a qualitative methodology. The results obtained from interviews show that the education process has many weaknesses and limitations mostly due to the lack of facilities, educational and technological resources, and support from teachers. The conclusion is that it is essential to provide better conditions for prisoners to receive this type of education, as it can be an opportunity for obtaining professional qualification and for personal development, thus increasing their prospects of success in the future. La enseñanza superior en Europa ha venido experimentando grandes transformaciones gracias a los avances tecnológicos y a los cambios derivados del proceso de Bolonia, que prevé la creación de condiciones para que todos tengan acceso al aprendizaje, independientemente de factores de exclusión social, como la reclusión. La subsiguiente masificación del acceso a la Enseñanza Superior exige una oferta educativa flexible, centrada en el estudiante e inclusiva: son estas las prioridades de la Educación a Distancia de la Universidade Aberta en Portugal. Este artículo tiene como objetivo conocer las impresiones de veintiséis individuos (estudiantes, candidatos a estudiantes y técnicos superiores de reeducación) sobre la realidad de la Enseñanza Superior en la modalidad de Educación a Distancia y aprendizaje virtual (e-Learning) en una cárcel portuguesa. Este estudio se encuadra en un paradigma no positivista y hace hincapié en la percepción de los individuos, recurriendo a una metodología de carácter cualitativo. Los resultados, obtenidos mediante entrevistas, revelan la existencia de enormes debilidades y limitaciones en el proceso educativo, debido, sobre todo, a la falta de instalaciones y medios, recursos pedagógicos y tecnológicos, y apoyo de los profesores. Se ha concluido que es fundamental crear mejores condiciones de asistencia a distancia en las cárceles, porque esta formación superior puede ser una oportunidad de cualificación profesional y desarrollo personal, que incrementa sus perspectivas de éxito en el futuro.

The Bologna Process

Abstract The article deals with the features of promoting and organizing professional pedagogical mobility of educators in the European context. Therefore, theoretical framework of the current research includes relevant documents of the Bologna Process (the Sorbonne Declaration, the Bologna Declaration (1999), the Prague Communiqué (2001), The Berlin Communiqué (2003), The Bergen Communiqué etc.). It was specified that one of the main objectives of the Bologna process was to promote mobility of educators since it is an indispensable condition for the existence and development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). It was indicated that professional mobility of educators occupied a prominent place in the Bologna process, determined attractiveness and competitiveness of the EHEA worldwide and improved the quality of higher education and research. It was clarified that the following important aspects of the international dimension of teacher training and professional mobility of educators providing such training should be considered in order to improve the international mobility of teacher students: teachers of the native language for foreigners should have experience of study in the country of the language taught; it is important to encourage HEIs to recognize school work internships related to the teaching subject that were completed abroad in the framework of the study exchange programme; development of international faculties in HEIs should be encouraged. It was found that the following ways could enhance the international dimension of teacher training and support professional mobility of educators providing such training: an acknowledgement of the importance of this particular student group as well as a commitment to improving the framework conditions, such as national regulation which may hinder the mobility of teacher training students. It was concluded that professional pedagogical mobility in the European context was targeted at culminating the personality of teacher students - future educators. Based on the obtained findings, some relevant recommendations were outlined to enhance the quality of professional pedagogical mobility of future educators in Ukraine.

Abstract:The article analyses the model of initial basic education teacher training in Portugal resulting from the commitments made in the framework of the Bologna Process. This analysis focuses on the impact that the policy guidelines - that point to an improvement in education quality - have on the socialization with the teaching profession. The empirical study analyses policy guidelines for teacher training and the opinions of teachers responsible for initial teacher training courses obtained through a survey. Overall, the data show a moderate agreement with policies concerning teacher training and some tensions regarding the training model adopted. On the one hand, it is pointed out that this model offers reduced opportunities of professional socialization, but, on the other hand, it is considered that it allows greater flexibility in obtaining a degree to teach in different levels of the education system. From this point of view, it can be considered that this model resolves educative system problems related to teachers placement, currently facing an elevated number of teachers which is higher than necessary in some school levels.Resumen:El artículo analiza el modelo de formación inicial de maestros de educación básica en Portugal, como resultado de los compromisos hechos en el marco del Proceso de Bolonia. Se centra en los efectos que las políticas -que apuntan a una mejora en la calidad de la educación- tienen en la socialización de la profesión docente. La investigación analiza documentos políticos que orientan la formación de maestros y las opiniones de los profesores encargados de los cursos de la formación inicial obtenidas por cuestionario. En general, los datos muestran un moderado acuerdo con las políticas de formación de maestros y algunas tensiones en relación con el modelo de formación adoptado. Por un lado, se señala que este modelo ofrece reducidas oportunidades de socialización profesional, pero, por otro lado, se considera que permite una mayor flexibilidad en la obtención de una habilitación para ejercer la profesión en diferentes niveles del sistema educativo. Desde este punto de vista, se puede suponer que este modelo puede resolver problemas relacionados a la ubicación de los maestros, que enfrenta situaciones de exceso de docentes en algunos niveles de Educación Básica.

The Bologna Process

This article contributes to the conceptual and empirical distinction between (the assessment of) appraisals of teaching behavior and (the assessment of) self-reported competence acquirement within academic course evaluation. The Bologna Process, the current higher-education reform in Europe, emphasizes education aimed toward vocationally oriented competences and demands the certification of acquired competences. Currently available evaluation questionnaires measure the students’ satisfaction with a lecturer’s behavior, whereas the “Evaluation in Higher Education: Self-Assessed Competences” (HEsaCom) measures the students’ personal benefit in terms of competences. In a sample of 1403 German students, we administered a scale of satisfaction with teaching behavior and the German version of the HEsaCom at the same time. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the estimated correlations between the various scales of self-rated competences and teaching behavior appraisals were moderate to strong, yet the constructs were shown to be empirically distinct. We conclude that the self-rated gains in competences are distinct from satisfaction with course and instructor. In line with the higher education reform, self-reported gains in competences are an important aspect of academic course evaluation, which should be taken into account in the future and might be able to restructure the view of “quality of higher education.” The English version of the HEsaCom is presented in the Appendix .

The Bologna Process

The Bologna Process, Information and Communication Technology, and market forces have brought manyinnovations and great changes to higher education systems throughout Europe. Reforms in higher educationhave taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, manycountries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ stylewhich often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomouslearning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for theindividual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and theimportance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promotingautonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. Thepaper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher EducationManagement program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learningfor students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.

The Bologna process has spurred higher education reforms in various European countries. Higher education reforms in Lithuania took place rather incrementally and represented an interaction between two strong powers—the state and the academic oligarchy. In the 1990s, the structural changes at the forefront of the Bologna-related reforms in Lithuania, but higher education reforms have remained stagnant in Lithuania. It is too early to draw conclusions about the success of the reforms, but the involvement of various stakeholders and the vision of broad reforms increase hopes for prospects of a more radical change of the Lithuanian higher education landscape.
