Abstract(s)
The article is focused on the cognitive and normative framework (référentiel)
behind the Bologna Process and on how this European référentiel was edited and
disseminated in Portugal by the Portuguese mediators. This is part of a broad study,
which analyses the implementation of the Bologna Process in Portugal, in the first
decade of the twenty first century. The study adopted the public action approach in
the analysis of political decision, which helped focus attention on the multilevel
multiple actors of the BP, as well as on their contexts and modes of interaction, and
mobilized the concepts of référentiel and edition. An interpretative descriptive
study was conducted, based on content analysis of documents mostly retrieved from
the Internet, by using a mixed deductive and inductive method. The aim was to
identify and learn about the cognitive and normative frameworks of the key actors,
who functioned as mediators, and analyze how these influenced the interpretations
and edition of the European référentiel, which those actors disseminated in the
Portuguese context. Results suggest that the Portuguese mediators edited the
European Bologna Process référentiel of knowledge-based competitive economy, around the Lifelong Learning "paradigm". This référentiel of lifelong learning
circulated through opinion documents and lies behind the legislation that frames the
Bologna Process in Portugal.
