Annonce

After the call for panels (http://calenda.revues.org/nouvelle22256.html), we are pleased to announce the call for papers for the II INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON COOPERATION AND EDUCATION - II COOPEDU. Authors are invited to submit abstracts to any of the 11 panels listed in the Congress web site: http://www.coopedu.cea.iscte.pt

List of panels

Panel 1 Portuguese Language in Southern Africa: Cooperation, Training and Research

  • Maria da Conceição Siopa (msilvasiopa@instituto-camoes.pt) Instituto Camões – Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Maputo, Moçambique
  • Rui Vicente de Azevedo (cepe.africasul@instituto-camoes.pt) Instituto Camões – África do Sul, Suazilândia, Namíbia e Zimbabue

Portuguese language in southern Africa lives a time of visible vitality and expansion. In Angola and Mozambique, political stability, economic growth as well as the enlargement of the school system and a greater improvement of the Portuguese teaching training programmes had a consequence on alphabetization as well as on the growth of the number of Portuguese speaking people. This situation raised, in the region, interest to learn Portuguese language as a way to facilitate social, touristic and economic flux. Cooperation in the area of Portuguese language in southern Africa covers a range of different countries, with a large relevance of resources for the African Portuguese speaking countries. In the last decade, this cooperation has been arising, mostly, in the training and qualification of Portuguese teachers, in the Portuguese language research as second language and in the creation of opportunities for the university training at a post-graduation level in Portugal, Brazil and locally. These studies and qualifications involves universities, public and private Portuguese, Brazilian and African institutions, various cooperation protocols and a large number of human and material resources. The proposal of this panel is related to the overall theme of this Congress and stands within the specific theme of the first topic, Local, national and international languages: challenges, opportunities and risks. On the one hand we want to identify and analyze developing cooperation in the sector of Portuguese language, especially with Southern African countries. On the other hand it seems well-timed to debate and to reflect as far as the Portuguese language challenges are concerned in the Southern Africa and contribute to put in perspective guidelines that may contribute for a larger development of this language and may concern people and institutions involved.

Panel 2 State and Civil Society Partnership in education and Training in PALOP: Complement or Substitution?

  • Maria Antónia Barreto (antonia@ipleiria.pt) Escola Superior de Educação e Ciências Sociais Instituto Politécnico de Leiria, Portugal Centro de Estudos Africanos Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal

The political discourse in PALOP presents development as a result of education and training but the most of the measures taken are limited, don’t preserve the identity, have a reduced depth, wrong strategy of implementation, among other factors. Civil society also plays as fundamental the intervention in these areas. There are multiple projects implemented by NGOs, churches, businesses in the formal and informal education and training. These projects, with different dimension, have the acceptance of the state ,fall within state programs or are “spaces” with great autonomy at various levels. How to cohabit the state and civil society in these areas of intervention? Complement or substitute for one? Be reconciled? What is the degree of autonomy enjoyed by civil society? This panel aims to reflect on the meaning of the State and civil society as partnerships in education and training.

Panel 3 Teacher Education in the Context of International Cooperation: Challenges, Opportunities and Risks

  • Patrícia Albergaria Almeida (patriciaalmeida@ua.pt) Centro de Investigação Didática e Tecnologia na Formação de Formadores Departamento de Educação Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal
  • Betina Lopes (blopes@ua.pt) Centro de Investigação Didática e Tecnologia na Formação de Formadores Departamento de Educação Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal

  Education and, consequently, the initial and in-service teacher education has been one of the priorities of the Portuguese cooperation. Linguistic proximity, as well as sharing the Portuguese language as the official language of all the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP) and East Timor, since 2000, have been fundamental factors for the development and strengthening of this cooperation at several levels, including education. With this panel we aim to promote the discussion about the role of the Portuguese cooperation in the education of teachers from PALOP countries and East Timor in the various levels of education (elementary, secondary and higher education). It is intended to address and discuss a range of subjects linked to the education of teachers from the PALOP countries and East Timor, namely: (i) the adequacy of teacher education in the various contexts in which it has been developed, either in Portugal or in these countries; (ii) the conceptual and methodological diversity of the teacher education models thathave been adopted; (iii) the impact (on the trainees, but also on the trainers) of the several teacher education programmes carried out; (iv) the obstacles/challenges identified by the trainers in the various countries and,also, in the several teacher education contexts. Furthermore, it is intended that this panel constitutes an opportunity for sharing and discussing results of research studies focused on the education of teachers from PALOP countries and East Timor. As a sharing space, this panel aims to create opportunities for the establishment of research networks and partnerships, which may support the conceptualization and implementation of teacher education models able to overcome the identified obstacles.

Panel 4 Higher Education of Africans in the Western World: Individual and Professional Trajectories, Cooperation Policies and Development Process

  • Ana Bénard da Costa (anabenard@gmail.com) Centro de Estudos Africanos Instituto Universitário de Lisboa,  Portugal
  • Discussants:
    • Francisco Noa Centro de Estudos Sociais Aquino de Bragança, Moçambique
    • Paulo de Carvalho Universidade Agostinho Neto, Angola

Following  the  thematic  challenge  launched  by COOPEDU II – that is to reflect  about  the issues of  cooperation in education between African countries and other countries – this panel seeks to analyze a set of themes related to higher education of African students in  the developed countries, its  implications  on  individual and professional trajectories, as well as in the African countries  development  processes. Also, how they relate to the construction of academic and professional   networks and international partnerships. Since advanced degrees are becoming increasingly instrumental in gaining access to leadership positions, the repercussions of the degree holders’ individual life choices reach  a much  larger  scale when  viewed in the  context   of  collective action.  It  is particularly interesting  to  analyze  the relationship between  higher  education and development agencies, and how they relate to different cooperation policies. This  set  of problems  have been  investigated  in  the  framework of  a research Project  focused  on higher  education students from Lusophone African  countries attending (or who have attended) Portuguese universities. This panel is an opportunity to discuss the project outputs and simultaneously compare them with  similar researches carried out in other contexts.
