Abstract(s)
A integração no ensino superior, principalmente num país que não o da nossa naturalidade, é um processo multifacetado que, dependendo do grau de dificuldade, pode levar ao abandono ou permanência no ensino superior. Os estudantes da comunidade dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa (PALOP) por serem oriundos de países estrangeiros, com culturas diferentes e sistemas de ensino diferenciados, têm uma maior dificuldade neste processo, tanto em relação à instituição de ensino, bem como na vida académica e extra académica.
O presente estudo tem por objetivo contribuir para um melhor conhecimento das necessidades e dificuldades dos estudantes dos PALOP no concelho de Bragança. Para tal, fez-se um estudo descritivo, aplicando um questionário online aos alunos oriundos desses países, residentes na cidade de Bragança, seguido de entrevistas a um restrito grupo de voluntários participantes.
A aplicação destes instrumentos, levou-nos a conhecer melhor os principais fatores de integração e adaptação, tanto na vida académica como extra académica, o que permitiu refletir sobre a necessidade de novas medidas de combate ao insucesso académico.
Neste sentido, o projeto da criação de um gabinete de apoio aos estudantes estrangeiros e migrantes em geral, apresentou-se como uma iniciativa de extrema importância, para que todos, e não só a comunidade dos PALOP, possam integrar-se no ensino superior e na sociedade em que se encontram, de forma satisfatória, ultrapassando limitações e atingindo objetivos académicos e posteriormente socioprofissionais.
Integration into higher education, especially in a country other than one's own, is a multifaceted process which, depending on the degree of difficulty, can lead to dropping out or staying in higher education. Students from the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP), who come from foreign countries with different cultures and different education systems, have greater difficulty in this process, both in relation to the educational institution and in academic and extra-academic life. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the needs and difficulties of PALOP students in the municipality of Bragança. To this end, we carried out a descriptive study, applying an online questionnaire to students from these countries living in the city of Bragança, followed by interviews with a small group of volunteer participants. The application of these instruments has led us to better understand the main factors of integration and adaptation, both in academic and extra-academic life, which has allowed us to reflect on the need for new measures to combat academic failure. In this sense, the project to set up a support office for foreign students and migrants in general was presented as an extremely important initiative, so that everyone, and not just the PALOP community, can integrate into higher education and the society in which they find themselves, in a satisfactory way, overcoming limitations and achieving academic and later socio-professional goals.
