MADEIRA, Maria Helena. Training Education of the Students : A different teaching process towards the (re)construction of projects of life . Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2006, n.7, pp.121-141. ISSN 1645-7250.

This study is about Initial Professional Education and it is intended to analyze the reasons and conditioning factors perceived by young people that took them to choose this way of education.The study considered two possible ways for professional education in Portugal: the Learning System (called Sistema Aprendizagem) and Professional Schools. Among the reasons pointed out by the students for choosing professional education, emerges the concern in obtaining a qualification that could facilitate their insertion in the labor market, combining a qualified education with skills obtained from real work experience during practical apprenticeship training. The welfare exhibited by young people seemed to be related with the achieved success, with the acquisition of the necessary knowledge for working on the chose profession, allowing some of the students to reconcile themselves with school and to (re)construct plans for their lives.
