First Impressions of the Reorganisation of the School Network in Portugal     

JORGE MIGUEL FONSECA PINTO FERREIRA 《European Journal of Education》2009,44(4):559-568

The aim of this study is to provide a retrospective on the reorganisation of the school network in Portugal between 2005 and 2007. Underlying measures predicted the closure of approximately 2000 primary schools, mainly situated in rural areas. This is a current topic of considerable controversy considering the reform which is being implemented and the fact that relatively little work has been carried out in this area. The research comes from an exploratory study which took place between February and November 2007. The conclusions were presented at the Congress of Childhood Studies (2008). The case involved 20 primary school teachers from 12 schools located in rural areas. The main results show clear differences between what the central administration and teachers are saying. Teachers question improvements to the quality of teaching, since no changes were found in teaching-learning conditions.  相似文献

Motivation of Faculty Members at a Latin American University: A Case Study     

GABRIEL PINTO  ELENA PULIDO 《European Journal of Engineering Education》1997,22(4):421-426

The purpose of this study is to analyze the kind of motivation in academia at a university in Argentina, taken as an example of a Latin American country. The study used a questionnaire containing the same 37 attitudinal statements that At-Twaijri et al. used recently for a large university in the Arabian Gulf. Motivators in both universities are compared. Despite being two very different academic cultures, there are analogies between the responses of lecturers: financial rewards are the least motivator in both cases; the most important items affecting the university professors’ motivation deal with the internal reward along with a feeling of accomplishment in the Argentine, and self-achievement and social respect in the Arabian Gulf. This paper also serves to make the international academic community aware of the Spanish ‘Intercampus’ programme. This programme allows the interchange of a significant number of students and professors between universities of Spain and the Latin American community.  相似文献
