Abstract(s)
Numa realidade marcada pela globalização neoliberal, o Ensino Superior tem sofrido profundas transformações. A promoção de um ambiente competitivo que valoriza métricas e resultados, ao qual as instituições de Ensino Superior não conseguem escapar, tem marcado as experiências das lideranças, bem como dos docentes e investigadores. A influência crescente de entidades supranacionais e processos como o de Bolonha contribuíram para uma maior pressão nas instituições para a adaptação ao mercado global, com efeitos na autonomia e na produção e disseminação de conhecimento.
Esta dissertação procurou compreender as perceções de diferentes lideranças, docentes e investigadores sobre os efeitos da influência supranacional na autonomia e na produção e disseminação de conhecimento, nas instituições públicas de Ensino Superior da área das Ciências da Educação, das cidades do Porto e Lisboa. Constituindo-se como um estudo de caso, a abordagem qualitativa concretizou-se na realização de sete entrevistas semiestruturadas e dois grupos focais. Posteriormente, recorreu-se à análise temática dos dados.
Com base nas perceções reunidas no processo de recolha de dados, foi possível compreender que a influência supranacional se traduz, essencialmente, em questões como a pressão para a publicação, o acesso a financiamento, a definição das agendas de investigação, a preocupação institucional com a reputação, entre outras.
Os resultados obtidos potenciam uma reflexão sobre os desafios que as instituições de Ensino Superior portuguesas enfrentam face à influência supranacional, concorrendo para uma discussão sobre a configuração da autonomia destas instituições e o seu papel na construção e disseminação de conhecimento.
In a landscape shaped by neoliberal globalisation, higher education has been going through major changes. The promoting of a competitive environment that values metrics and results, from which higher education institutions cannot escape, has marked the experiences of the institutions' leaders, as well as those of the teaching staff and researchers. The growing influence of supranational entities and processes such as the Bologna Process have contributed to greater pressure on institutions to adapt to the competitive global market, with effects on autonomy and on the production and dissemination of knowledge. This dissertation attempted to understand the perceptions of different institutional leaders, teaching staff and researchers on the effects of supranational influence on autonomy and the production and dissemination of knowledge in public higher education institutions in the field of Education Sciences in the cities of Porto and Lisbon. As a case study, the qualitative approach was implemented through seven semi-structured interviews and two focus groups. This was followed by a thematic analysis of the data. Based on the perceptions gathered during the data collection process, it was possible to understand that the supranational influence essentially translates into issues such as pressure to publish, access to funding, the definition of research agendas, institutional concern for reputation, among others. The results obtained encourage a reflection about the challenges that Portuguese higher education institutions face in the light of supranational influence, contributing to a discussion about the configuration of the autonom
