A faculdade de Ciências da Educação da UNTL na percepção dos estudantes

Abstract

In Timor-Leste, the imposition of foreign languages and colonial culture inflicted on the people resulted in a university that reflects a society seeking to form a new human being: A conscientious citizen, participatory, critical and professionally competent. The university, in relation to teaching, research and social activities, besides teaching science to the students, by using existing texts, must produce science and develop new technology. Hence the need for research that could help to improve the quality of education, through the study of students perceptions on such relevant matters as infrastructure, education and their concerns about career prospects. The focus of this research is the Faculty of the Educational Sciences of National University Timor Lorosa'e, analyzed from the perspective of its pupils, whose opinions have been heard and systematized from six focal groups. The conclusion being, that improvements are urgently needed in various parts of EGF’s buildings, as well as the infrastructure, academic and administrative management and in the methodological dimension of teaching and learning.
