The programme is organised according to the following points and syllabuses: 1. Education policies: introduction and systematisation of theoretical and analytical approaches
2. Globalisation and its impact on education policies
3. Europeanisation of education policies
4. Policy cycles and the state model: contributions to analysing education policies
5. Portugal: dynamics and cycles of government in education
6. School autonomy, management and administration
7. Decentralisation and territorialisation of education policies
8. Logics of school action and school policies
9. Public schools at the centre of the debate: problems and policies

The assessment of the course has been defined in line with the General Regulation for the Assessment of Knowledge and Competences (GRAKC), version 2024.

The assessment throughout the semester of the course has the following elements:
1) A presentation (in groups) of a research and analysis text on education policies (15-20 min, 30%) and participation in the debate on the various presentations. The text will be selected by the group from a list drawn up by the lecturer.
2) Individual written work of critical reflection, theoretically supported and empirically illustrated, on a type of education programme or policy. The work should not exceed 10 pages (arial 11) (70%).
Given the very diverse backgrounds of the students, especially in recent years, the public policy chosen for the assignment can be wide-ranging and does not have to be limited to the Portuguese context. On the other hand, the group presentation of texts has made it possible to systematically share a bibliography and theoretical contributions that are central to or illustrative of the research on some of the topics covered, as well as the ability to articulate specific educational realities and contexts.

Assessment by exam:
This situation applies to students who do not complete the assessment elements proposed throughout the semester and do not attend classes, as defined in the General Regulations for the Assessment of Knowledge and Competences (RGACC). Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and potentially covers the subject taught in the course unit. It must include a written test. Students who have opted for this assessment method and students who have not passed the assessment method throughout the semester are admitted to this method. However, although this is an available method, students are encouraged to follow the assessment throughout the semester, as it involves a more consistent and secure learning process of the content in question.

In specific situations, the teacher may organise an oral test or a discussion session on the assessment elements presented, in order to clarify the marks awarded.

1. Assessment throughout the semester, which includes the instruments listed below with their respective weights for calculating the final grade (between 0 and 20 points):
- Individual work (100%): Each student will have to hand in an individual piece of work selected according to the themes of the syllabus. These assignments consist of analyses of studies in the field of education, specifically school administration and management, or mini-essays on the syllabus of the course (with a maximum of 2 pages for each individual assignment).
The assessment process throughout the semester, known as continuous assessment, is aligned with the feedback process, in order to promote progressive and continuous learning, and is expected to be carried out informally, in the participatory and active components of the classes, and formally, in individual work and in the presentation and group essay/work.

The assessment system for this Curricular Unit is designed to measure student progress comprehensively throughout the semesters and covers both methods of assessment in the General Regulations for the Assessment of Knowledge and Competences:
1. Assessment Throughout the Semester, which includes the instruments listed below with their respective weightings for calculating the final grade (between 0 and 20 points):
- Attendance and Participation (10%): students are advised to attend classes regularly so that they can acquire the necessary skills, not only to complete the Curricular Unit, but also to apply in their professions.
- Individual assignments (40%): Each student will have to submit a minimum of three individual assignments via moodle throughout the semester, which will be proposed each week by the lecturer and selected according to the students' preferences and time. These assignments consist of analyses of case studies of evaluation processes in school organisations, or mini essays on the program contents of this Curricular Unit (with a maximum of 2 pages for each individual assignment). If the student so wishes, he/she can do more work than the minimum number to obtain the grade for the assessment instrument; the teacher will give individualised feedback on all the work handed in via moodle. The grade for this instrument will be calculated from the arithmetic mean of the three assignments submitted via moodle with the highest marks.
- Group work (50%): Critical reflection essay on a practical case of evaluation processes in school organisations, presented and discussed in class, before the final submission on a date to be determined (maximum 12 pages).
The assessment process throughout the semester, known as continuous assessment, is aligned with the feedback process, to promote progressive and continuous learning, and which is expected to take place informally, in the participatory and active components of the classes, and formally, in individual work and in the presentation and group essay/work.
Continuous assessment requires a minimum mark of 7 in each assessment instrument for approval.
2. Assessment by Exam (100%): for students who choose this mode of assessment or who do not meet the minimum criteria in the modality of Assessment Throughout the Semester. the Final Exam will last 2 hours and will cover all the program content taught over the semester.

Periodic evaluation which requires (a) a minimum attendance level of 80%; (b) a written work, in group, preceded by oral presentation and discussion in class (40% of the UC classification); (c) conducting an individual written work (60% of the UC classification). Approval in the UC on a periodic evaluation basis implies obtaining a minimum score of 10 values for each of the evaluation elements.

In the beginning of this curricular unit, students will be prompted to choose a personal interest topic, which is relevant for the state of the art, as well as a supervisor. With the supervisor, students will:
- Formulate the starting question
- Identify the relevant literature and elaborate a theoretical and empirical revision
- Formulate the research problem and the hypotheses
- Design a study to test the hypotheses
- Create a procedure and the materials
- Carry out the study
- Analyse and interpret the results
- Elaborate the dissertation plan
- Write the dissertation
Throughout this process students will receive important information for the theme of their dissertations and for the conduction of the process itself, as, for example, literature that is relevant for their topic and indications on the design they should use.

Two teaching methods will be used:
(i) dissertation guidance in direct contact with the supervisor in individual sessions or, seldom, in small groups of students whose dissertation topics are very similar;
(ii) attendance of seminars in which each student presents his/her dissertation progress, planned activities, difficulties met, etc. These seminars will focus on the dissertation topic, as well as in the research and writing process.

|

The dissertation will be assessed by a panel of judges in public tests, after the supervisor's approval of its conclusion and quality to be presented in public tests. Assessment will be based on the scientific merit of the study and on its theoretical and methodological adequacy.
