Abstract(s)
As formas de ensino destinadas aos adultos apresentam duas características em comum, nomeadamente, a participação
voluntária e a frequência de um curso que serve um objetivo específico. Embora alguns possam fazer a escolha e optem por
frequentar um curso por razões sociais e outros possam não saber claramente o que pretendem, todos eles têm em mente
um propósito e, se não o conseguirem alcançar, mais cedo ou mais tarde abandonarão o curso.
Esta investigação teve como objetivos conhecer as expectativas dos estudantes do Curso Técnico Superior Profissional que
frequentam; perceber que atributos consideram ser mais importantes para a sua escolha; e, identificar os fatores que mais
contribuíram para o nível de satisfação com o curso até ao momento. Foi desenvolvido um estudo quantitativo e
transversal baseado num questionário desenvolvido com base na literatura. O questionário foi administrado por e-mail,
durante o mês de janeiro de 2017, após obtida a autorização por parte dos responsáveis da instituição. Os dados foram
tratados com recurso ao software SPSS 23.0. Foram validados, até ao momento, 27 questionários de três localidades,
designadamente, Amarante (7,4%), Bragança (55,6%) e Marco de Canaveses (37%).
Os estudantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 39 anos, são na sua maioria do género masculino (77,8%),
fazem parte de agregados familiares constituídos por 3 elementos (51,9%), com um rendimento mensal até 1000 euros
(65,6%). A maioria dos estudantes está deslocada (66,6%), a uma distância, igual ou superior, a 50 km da sua residência.
Relativamente aos fatores que motivaram a escolha e a frequência do curso, os mais valorizados foram, por ordem
decrescente de importância, o gosto pela área (88,9%), a possibilidade de poder continuar os estudos (37,0%), a influência
dos pais (33,3%) e o potencial do curso em termos de saídas profissionais (18,5%).
Melhorar as condições de funcionamento dos cursos deslocalizados e intensificar a relação aluno/escola pode contribuir
para a fidelização e aumento do nível de satisfação.
Forms of education for adults have two characteristics in common, namely, voluntary participation and the frequency of a course serving a specific purpose. Although some may make the choice and choose to attend a course for social reasons and others may not know clearly what they want, they all have a purpose in mind and, if they cannot achieve it, sooner or later, they will drop out. This research had as objectives: to know students expectations of the Professional Higher Technical Course that they attend; to perceive which attributes they consider being most important for their choice; and, to identify the factors that contributed the most to the satisfaction level with the course. A quantitative and cross-sectional study was conducted based on a questionnaire developed based on the literature. The questionnaire was applied by e-mail, during January 2017, after obtaining the authorization from the responsible of the school. The data were processed using SPSS 23.0 software. To date, 27 questionnaires from three localities have been validated, namely Amarante (7.4%), Bragança (55.6%) and Marco de Canaveses (37%). The students, aged between 18 and 39 years, are mostly males (77.8%), are part of a household with 3 individuals (51.9%), with a monthly income up to 1000 euros (65.6%). The majority of the students are displaced (66,6%), at a distance, equal or superior to 50 km from their residence. Regarding the factors that motivated the choice and the frequency of the course, the most valued were, in descending order of importance, the love at the area (88.9%), the possibility to continue the studies (37.0%), the parents influence (33,3%) and the course potential in the labor market (18.5%). Improving the working conditions of the delocalized courses and intensifying the student/school relationship can contribute to the loyalty and to increase the satisfaction level.
