    Metodologias ativas na Educação
    2019 - Reis, Carlos Sousa; Formosinho, Maria das Dores
    O âmbito educativo, como constitutivamente problemático (Cabanas (2002), tem-se desenvolvido em torno do eixo de uma antinomia fundamental (Suchodolski, 1984). Neste conflito ínsito e axial perspetiva-se uma antinomia entre as pedagogias da essência e as da existência, cuja base se encontra na linha divisória das tendências para a considerar, alternativamente, o “como deveria ser” ou o “como é” o ser a educar.

    Social responsibility and career education: An international case study
    2018 - Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Menezes, José; Campina, Ana; Caramelo-Gomes, José; Morais, Paula; Jesus-Silva, Natacha; Formosinho, Maria das Dores
    Corporate Social Responsibility and career education emerge in a context of a society where the importance of the ability to anticipate change, adapt to new circumstances, and invent new business practices is explicit. Career education has been presented as an effective response to the requirements of adaptability, flexibility, and continuing education. This paper is a report on the findings of a study conducted at an international leading food group. Documentary analysis and discourse analysis techniques were used to examine how corporate social responsibility and career education are valued by this international group. The sample of this investigation is composed by the Director of the development area, by the Coordinator and two Social Assistants of the Social Emergency Fund. The success and effectiveness of this international group are marked by ambition, ability to resist difficulties, sharing of values, spirit of unity and team sense. In addition to internal training, it directs investments for external training by promoting actions such as participation in seminars and congresses worldwide and the creation of partnerships in various areas of management with prestigious teaching entities. Findings indicate the creation of a training school, with initiatives for internal and external training, in partnerships with prestigious teaching entities. Of particular note is the Management Trainees Program, developed for more than 25 years, characterized by building a career by obtaining knowledge and skills acquired in the combination of on-the-job experience and a training program.

    Desafios metamodernos da filosofia da educação
    2013 - Reis, Carlos Sousa; Formosinho, Maria das Dores
    este artigo discute-se o projeto da Modernidade, na sua relação com os pressupostos antropofilosóficos que o sustentavam, articulando-o com o conceito de Bildung, correlativo da ideia de formação humana por meio da educação. Procura-se de seguida mostrar como a Pós-modernidade operou uma desconstrução deste paradigma, confrontando-se com aporias e limitações que exigem uma reconstrução dos referentes educacionais, de forma a instituir uma nova Razão Pedagógica.

    Science legitimacy and the postmodern condition of knowledge
    2014-03 - Formosinho, Sebastião; Reis, Carlos Sousa; Formosinho, Maria das Dores
    We start by showing how science is as much a personal as a social endeavour, carefully driven between convictions and scepticism, depending on strictly defined criteria that are made possible through a conjunction of social norms intimately connected to epistemological principles. If the sociological contexts play an important role, we must recognize that science compensates their influence with the experimental gathering of evidences. However knowledge always requires a link to tradition, believe and authority, i.e., tacit knowledge and a fiduciary framework. Objectivity can also be supported by science’s success to describe and transform reality, within a renewed process that continuously expands what we know and can transform. This attests the power of science that meanwhile was separated from the ethical dimension required to all kind of knowledge appliance, thus redirecting us to the sociological contexts of science. We then refer to how science’s sociological structures consequently changed when the dimension, cost and importance of science for economic progress was such that responsibility for it was taken from the hands of scientists. The age of competition for scarce resources marks the end of pure intellectual competition in which science’s progress was conditioned mainly by individual creativity. That’s why sociological factors regain nowadays a much more important role to play in science dynamics. The paper concludes by presenting how a new sociologically framework of scientific knowledge is emerging: the “fourth age of research” driven by international collaborations between elite research groups, strongly guided for markets, and once again science’s autonomy is at stake.

    Emancipatory and critical language education: A plea for translingual possible selves and worlds
    2019 - Reis, Carlos; Formosinho, Maria das Dores; Jesus, Paulo Renato
    Language is the main resource for meaningful action, including the very formation of selves and psychosocial identities, shaped by practical norms, beliefs, and values. Thus, language education constitutes one of the most powerful means for both social reproduction and social production and ideological maintenance and utopian innovation. In this paper, we attempt to emphasise the invaluable psychosocial, political, economic, and cultural function of language education in order to propose a critical view of the current transition from the monolingual to a multilingual paradigm. We maintain that multilingual approaches tend to serve the neoliberal framework and reproduce its systemic inequalities. Therefore, we argue in favour of emancipatory multilingual practices that could embody a translingual pedagogy capable of promoting the development of capabilities, the recognition of otherness, and the cultivation of diversity. Rooted in critical theory, namely in Foucault’s notion of subjectification and Freire’s view of conscientisation, an emancipatory translingual pedagogy would enable and empower every learner to synthesise a contextually creative field of new semantic and pragmatic relationships. Critical language education would enhance the ethos of biophilia that fosters what we term the poetics of communality and selfhood, that is to say, the proactive commitment to expanding symbolic and existential novelty

    Psicologia evolutiva y justicia de menores
    2011-03 - Taborda, Maria da Conceição; Fonseca, António Castro; Dias, Maria da Luz Vale; Formosinho, Maria das Dores
    Frente a la creciente complejidad de las cuestiones jurídicas y sociales, extensivas a la situación de los menores, se justifica una incursión cada vez más amplia de la Psicología en el ámbito de la justicia, en concreto de la Psicología Evolutiva que consideramos relevante para esclarecer las cuestiones forenses que involucran a los menores sea en papel de víctimas o como transgresores. De cara a la violencia que se ejerce sobre ellos/as y a la violencia que ellos/as ejercen, la sociedad occidental denota una creciente conciencia crítica que evidencia la necesidad cada vez más apremiante de ampliar la fundamentación científica de las propias decisiones judiciales, haciéndolas cada vez más adecuadas a los intereses del/la menor. Esta referencia a la psicología en el área del derecho, permitiría, de acuerdo con algunos autores como Melton e Wilcox (2001), la ascensión de una perspectiva que designan por “realista” en la área de la jurisprudencia. No cabe la menor duda que pocas cuestiones suscitan tanta perplejidad y controversia en la sociedad como la criminalidad infanto-juvenil. En las últimas dos décadas del siglo XX, particularmente en la legislación de ciertos estados de U.S.A., se verificó un cambio sustancial en la legislación referente al tratamiento penal de los menores. Esta nueva orientación se reflejó nel número creciente de delitos practicados por jóvenes que fueron juzgados en los tribunales comunes, en donde los adolescentes se encuentran expuestos a condiciones más adversas que en los tribunales de menores. Esta inflexión jurídica que algunos refieren como la “criminalización” del sistema de justicia para menores constituye, sin duda alguna, un retroceso histórico que suscita cuestiones de diversa naturaleza entre los psicólogos dedicados al estudio del desarrollo quienes insisten que las características evolutivas de los adolescentes deben justificar, en función de su menor grado de responsabilidad y también de su mayor plasticidad, un tratamiento penal diferenciado de los sujetos.
