Testimony I was told by the Official University of Coimbra, the
goat, on the recent drafting and approval of Disciplinary Regulations
by Portuguese universities.
1. Agrees with the existence of Disciplinary Regulations in Higher Education?
My agreement is relative so I explain below. These regulations stem from the asserted need to address the real problems: in recent years, both teachers and students, have identified and reported, with the appropriate instances, problematic behavior on the part of some students in both academic context more generally as room class, as well as various types of fraud in the work that you are asked. Are manifestations that are believed to have become progressively more frequent and severe. Thus, for, at first, reducing its occurrence and / or to discourage justified typifies them up and legitimize sanctions. But a disciplinary regulation, by itself, does not educate or liability. And I need to do something else with students coming to higher level of education, even so it is not necessary to resort to these regulations. I understand that what has to be done by schools and by all of his teachers, is a deliberate and systematic work in terms of allocation of value to knowledge, attention to others, curiosity and intellectual honesty. Dir will that the university is not the place to do this work, that students should already have purchased before, on primary and secondary education, this sensitivity. We can say that there is some reason in this, but there are two aspects to consider: first, you must realize that this job is always open, can not just give up on, should be taken at all levels of schooling and on the other hand, the education systems are not adequately preparing students to the levels I mentioned, very little reach university prepared to develop independent learning and responsible. 2. Are other educational levels that are below the top that are failing? All levels of education are failing in some respects. The same for schools and for teachers. But this has much to do with the social context in which we operate. You need to think a little about it, where are we fail we need for a disciplinary higher education. 3. Believes the disciplinary regulations will be properly applied? me not the answer. I realize that there is a commitment of Dean of Faculties and I know to enhance learning and attitude of the students. So, I assume that the regulation will be taken as a reference. 4. You know an episode that could have been the subject of disciplinary action? Tomei knowledge of several episodes. Troop most relevant in three points: aggressive behaviors related to academic practice, academic fraud with various embodiments; disruption of classes that prevent the normal course of teaching and hence learning. But I must say that many of the episodes that I learned reveal something more worrisome than the episodes themselves: the protagonists do not show consciousness of social rules that guide individual freedom and, in sequence, not realizing that their behavior is inconsistent with these rules. 5. The University of Coimbra has to have the only document approved. Did you know that one of the warnings may lead to disqualification from the university for 5 years? Li regulation but took no attention to the punishments provided. I imagine that could identify students’ behavior so serious that justify this kind of penalty.
