    Liderança nas organizações educativas: a direcção por valores
    (2008) TRIGO, João Ribeiro; COSTA, Jorge Adelino
    Leadership is one of the most common themes in the study of organisations in general, although this prevalence has not reached the same importance in educational organisations, particularly in some geographical contexts. Even though we assume in this article that schools have got some specificities in relation to other organizations, we also recognize that the studies in the education field cannot remain immune to the contributions of other areas. Due to this reason we refer here to the model of Management by Values as a proposal that by breaking away from the more technical-instrumental branches of traditional theories of management, could contribute to a shared reflection with the leadership of educational organisations, specially taking into account the conceptualisation of leadership as a dialogue on values.

    O fenômeno das explicações: aspectos da realidade portuguesa e do contexto global
    (2007) COSTA, Jorge Adelino; NETO-MENDES, Antônio; VENTURA, Alexandre; AZEVEDO, Sara
    Private tutoring, as a phenomenon that occurs mainly outside of school, can be interpreted through several points of view: as a pedagogical instrument for pupils who have already experienced or think they will experience school failure; as something that helps families in "conquering" the best positions to compete in the selective process to enter a university; as an expression of the education market, in which families exercise their freedom of choice; as a phenomenon that can put external pressure on schools, namely when it is identified by its "consumers" (families) as a symptom of the reduced quality and efficiency of schools; or, on the other hand, as an ally of schools in securing better exam results, having in view the improvement of their position in the so-called school ranking. The perspective adopted notwithstanding, it seems essential to us to further explore the contours of this phenomenon, in Portugal, and in other national contexts. As a follow-up to the research on private tutoring began in 2001, which now has five consecutive years of information gatherings, carried out through a questionnaire aimed at 12th year pupils (last year of Portuguese secondary education, the school year preceding higher education entry) of four secondary schools of a city located in the Portuguese coast, which we call Aquarela City, we present here some data concerning the 2005

    O impacto de um programa de avaliação externa no desenvolvimento organizacional de uma escola: a new institutional approach on an external evaluation program
    (2004) LIBÓRIO, Helena; COSTA, Jorge Adelino
    The evaluation of the schools is a problematic one that it can be studied under some perspectives. We go here to present it in a organizacional dimension, placing us in an analytical-interpretative perspective and convoking the new instituonalism as analysis model. To the light of this theoretical picture, the pertaining to school organizations usually are presented as systems debilmente articulated, therefore that it does not have joint between the organizational structure and the activity technique (contemplating the this last activity of teach-learning). In this direction, the pertaining to school organizations legitimize its existence through mechanisms of conformity with the institutional way, appealing to the reliable logic and good faith, of that the emphasis is example that gives to the teacher professionalism.
