Resumo(s)
In this communication we intend to present and cliscuss preliminar)' results frorn a work
developed within a post-doc research entitled "Higher Education and Life long Learning:
Recognition of prior learning and educational change". This research work is being developed
fram a theoretical framework and from appraaches to Education/training of adults.
Since the problem of recognition of prior experientiallearning is very recent in the context
of Higher Education in Portugal, we try to identify the emerging practices and reflect on
the tendencies and the rationale of these processes.
At a first stage of the empirical work we performed an exploratory study - a questionnaire
presented to the Portuguese public universities followed by a bibliographical analysis of
political and legal documents. At a second stage of the research we interviewed postgraduate
degree coorclinators (masters) and from the analysis it seems possible to identify
clifferent rationales for the valorisation of prior learning in the context of higher education.
Considering that it is a complex phenomenon, we try to inter-crass these clifferent levels
of analysis in order to contribute to a more profound understanding of the recognition
and validation processes of experiential prior learning in Portuguese Higher Education
institutions.
