Facing the Challenges of Bologna: The Implementation Process in IPCB
Facing the Challenges of Bologna: The Implementation Process in IPCB
Índice
The Bologna Process was responsible for the reformulation of the education system in several countries in Europe, with a great impact on the Portuguese education system, which presented a curricular structure and pedagogical practice very different from the recommended. This article, in addition to contextualizing the Bologna Process, exposes data related to the methodology followed by the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (Portugal) to monitor its implementation, as well as the indicators used to carry out annual monitoring reports. The strategies adopted by each higher school for the transition between curricular plans are presented, namely the methodology for adopting credits and for adapting to new study cycles. It also addresses the centralized strategy for monitoring the Process and planning initiatives that involved all higher schools. After implementing the Bologna Process, the quality assessment system was structured, based on previous work and considering performance indicators and the institution’s structure. This work makes it possible to measure the profound changes incorporated at all levels and to understand their impact on teaching and learning practice.
