Resumo
Neste trabalho pretendemos indagar sobre qual o papel que uma metodologia
do tipo PBL tem no desenvolvimento de competências pessoais dos alunos,
saber se a metodologia melhora as competências pessoais dos diplomados PBL
quando comparados com outros graduados, e perspectivar o papel da metodologia
ao nível das competências pessoais na construção do perfil de um graduado
para o terceiro milénio. Partindo de um estudo de caso de uma IES profissionalizante,
recorremos à técnica da entrevista junto dos docentes e entidades
empregadoras, e à técnica do questionário junto dos restantes participantes.
Os resultados conseguidos com os alunos, diplomados e docentes conduzemnos
a sustentar que as metodologias PBL contribuem para o desenvolvimento
de competências pessoais, essencialmente ao nível da utilização de recursos
e da construção do conhecimento. Mais ainda, parece-nos possível sustentar a
possibilidade de inserir nas teorias existentes, a lógica do empreendedorismo,
como motivada pelas metodologias PBL. Nos empregadores, detectámos uma
persistente tendência em não reconhecerem a metodologia como directamente
responsável por uma melhoria de competências pessoais dos diplomados,
exceptuando-se uma valorização de fundamentações mais consistentes e de
atitudes mais confiantes. O trabalho reflecte ainda sobre o problema da identificação
de competências que assegurem as necessidades de um mercado de
trabalho multifacetado baseado em estudos e resultados concretos.
In this work we intend to query the role of a PBL-type methodology in the development of personal competences in the students, and to assess whether the methodology improves the competences of PBL-type graduates when compared to non-PBL graduates, and to approach the role of the methodology at the level of the personal competences in the construction of the profile of a graduate for the third millennium. Having as a point of departure the case study of a vocational higher education institution, we have used the interview technique with academic staff and employers, and the questionnaire technique with the rest of the participants. The results obtained in relation to the students, graduates, and employers led us to support that PBL methodologies contribute to the development of personal competences, essentially at the level of the use of resources and the building of knowledge. Additionally, it seems that we can support the possibility of including in the existing theories the logic of entrepreneurship, motivated by PBL-type methodologies. In the employers we detect a persistent tendency of not recognizing the methodology as being directly responsible for the improvement of personal competences in the graduates, with the exception of the valuation of more consistent basis for action and more confident attitudes. The work also reflects on the problem of identifying the competences necessary for a multifaceted labour market based on concrete studies and results
