Accredited Training

The Seminar Assessment and Didactics. State of Play and Perspectives, will be held on March 7, 2024 (Thursday) in hybrid mode. The event is organised by OP.Edu – the Observatory for Education and Training Policies in collaboration with the Autonomous Section for General Education and Training of NOVA University of Lisbon – School of Social Sciences and Humanities, in partnership with the António Sérgio Training Centre.

Taking as its starting point the recent publication by Peter Lang of Évaluation et didactique : un dialogue critique by Daniel Bart, this seminar aims to open up a space for analysis and debate on issues related to the epistemological status of an assessment discipline, its more scientific, more practical or more political character, and its relationship with didactics.

Experiences – both in France and Portugal – of interdisciplinary intersection will be presented, and the didactic challenges of assessing competences will be analysed. On the other hand, considering that didactics  and assessment of students’ knowledge are not always considered in harmony, with direct implications for the relationship between the two, some of these relationships will be problematised, including socially shared perspectives, how teachers take ownership of the relationship, and the different visions that assessment can take in relation to didactics.

The Seminar PISA 2022. Discourses, the truth of numbers and post-pandemic changes in education will be held online on 11 January 2024 (Thursday). The event is organised by OP.Edu – the Observatory for Education and Training Policies in collaboration with the Autonomous Section for General Education and Training of NOVA University of Lisbon – School of Social Sciences and Humanities.

PROGRAMME

One month after the OECD – Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – published the results of the latest edition of PISA – Programme for International Student Assessment, the seminar aims to open a space for exchange and informed debate on the regulation of education policies through the so-called International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs), of which PISA is the most iconic representative.

Main topics to be discussed: PISA 2022 results and the post-pandemic changes in education; the relationship between Portugal’s participation in PISA and the improvement of its equity levels; the PISA discourses  and the conceptual and methodological limitations that the Programme has placed on education research.

The third colloquium of the Cycle April 25 50 Years: Looking into the Past, Thinking about the Future, will take place on January 23 at 6:00 PM (Portugal time), under the theme School as a multifaceted space: acknowledging and including diversity.

Inclusion is a broad and complex principle and, as such, it should be a subject for reflection and guidance for education policies and practices. Assuming this premise, the Observatory for Education and Training Policies (OP.Edu) invites researchers Alice Ribeiro (Head of the Inclusion Support Centre, University of Porto, Portugal), Cássia Sofiato (Department of Philosophy of Education and Education Sciences, Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo, Brazil) and researcher Joaquim Melro (Director of António Sérgio Training Centre and researcher at the University of Lisbon, Portugal), who will reflect and discuss in this online Colloquium open to the public, the epistemological, educational and cultural complexity that has shaped the principles and practices of inclusive education.

The Colloquium will also include the participation of Teresa Teixeira Lopo (OP.Edu-CeiED) in the Opening and Isabel Sanches (CeiED, ESEL-IPLUSO), who will be responsible for the Moderation of the debate.

The event, organized by OP.Edu with the collaboration of the School of Education of IPLUSO, will be held and broadcast online. Link: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/98469945254
