Este trabalho académico, intitulado “Análise do impacto dos cursos oferecidos em contexto de Escola Profissional para a Educação e Formação da Pessoa Adulta”, intentou analisar, num primeiro instante, a educação e formação da pessoa adulta, apresentando não só os seus conceitos-chave, como uma perspetiva evolucionista, até aos dias de hoje, considerando que os cursos orientados para o adulto têm um intuito de formação reforçada e adaptada, de modo a aumentar as suas competências e, consequentemente, certificações profissionais e escolares, com estratégias adequadas ao público alvo e, a maioria das vezes, com impacto numa aprendizagem ao longo da vida.
Projetando conhecer melhor a realidade da formação oferecida em 2021/22 em contexto de Escola Profissional da Região Autónoma dos Açores, realizámos um estudo de casos múltiplos a partir de três escolas da Ilha de São Miguel, confrontando as recolhas efetuadas pela análise: documental da legislação em vigor e documentos específicos, dos projetos de escola disponibilizados; de conteúdo dos testemunhos obtido em conversas informais com os coordenadores pedagógicos e diretor de escola (n=3); e, por fim, da recolha (motivações, expetativas e nível de satisfação) efetuada através do inquérito por questionário aplicado a um grupo de alunos adultos das escolas (n=199). Para a análise destes dados, deu-se especial realce à comparação efetuada entre os cursos ABC da Rede Valorizar e Ensino Técnico-Profissional, recorrendo a procedimentos estatísticos ajustados.
Concluímos, com este estudo que, não obstante a fase de vida e a modalidade de formação, a pessoa adulta, aluno do contexto de escola profissional, em geral satisfeito com a sua formação, procura além de se formar, informar e interagir, para obter melhores qualificações pessoais, académicas e profissionais que os tornem mais aptos para enfrentar os desafios de um mundo em permanente mudança. Em conformidade, podemos também observar que, por parte das escolas onde se aplicou o estudo, as ofertas formativas são cada vez mais direcionadas não só para o mercado de trabalho, mas também para as motivações e expectativas dos alunos adultos, em procura de reconhecimento profissional, mas também escolar e pessoal.
ABSTRACT: This academic work, entitled "Analysis of the impact of courses offered in the context of Vocational School for the Education and Training of Adults", intended to analyze, in a first moment, the education and training of adults, presenting not only its key concepts, but also an evolutionary perspective, to the present day, considering that the courses aimed at the adult have an intention of reinforced and adapted training, in order to increase their skills and, consequently, professional and school certifications, with strategies appropriate to the target audience and, most of the time, with an impact on lifelong learning. Projecting to know better the reality of the training offered in 2021/22 in a Professional School context in the Azores Autonomous Region, we have carried out a multiple case study from three schools in São Miguel Island, confronting the collections made by the analysis: documentary analysis of the legislation in force and specific documents, of the school projects made available; of the content of the testimonies obtained in informal conversations with the pedagogical coordinators and school director (n=3); and, finally, of the collection (motivations, expectations and level of satisfaction) made through the questionnaire survey applied to a group of adult students of the schools (n=199). For the analysis of these data, special emphasis was given to the comparison made between the ABC courses of the Valorizar Network and Technical-Vocational Education, using adjusted statistical procedures. We conclude with this study that, notwithstanding the stage of life and the training modality, the adult person, student in the vocational school context, in general satisfied with their training, seeks besides training, to inform and interact, to obtain better personal, academic and professional qualifications that make them more apt to face the challenges of a world in permanent change. Accordingly, we can also observe that, on the part of the schools where the study was applied, the training offers are increasingly directed not only to the labor market, but also to the motivations and expectations of adult students, in search of professional recognition, but also school and personal.
