NEW EDUCATIONAL ACTORS AT THE SERVICE OF THE COMMUNITY ALIGNED WITH THE NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE AREA - CTeSP IEE

Abstract

The article presented here intends to characterize the training practices of the educational pedagogical project of the Higher Professional Technical Course of Intervention in Educational Spaces (CTeSP IEE), operating in a higher education institution in Portugal, as a course aimed at training of professionals working in pedagogical and educational contexts. In order to monitor this process in the CTeSP of IEE, we seek to answer the research question “What practices characterize the development of the professional higher technical course of intervention in educational spaces?” In order to answer the research question, the following objectives were outlined: i) to understand the context in which the formation of the CTeSP of IEE takes place; ii) to characterize the context of those involved in the training process and iii) to characterize the methodologies and resources present throughout the training. The methodology used is shaped by the case study, of a descriptive and interpretative nature, and the investigation is carried out in the context where the practices are developed and implemented. The results show practices that favor the professional profile and the competence reference of the Higher Professional Intervention in Educational Spaces, allowing them to act and put into practice innovative pedagogical models for teaching/learning in different institutional and social contexts.
