The program focuses its attention in the problematisation of the relationship between youth, equal opportunities and citizenship, following different theoretical contributions, such as those of the processes of social and cultural reproduction; cultural production; the theories of gender, diversity and ethnic relations; and social and educational exclusion. The aim is to understand the diverse ways formal and non-formal educational institutions contribute to the construction of particular identities and to legitimise dominant forms of knowledge. It will equally focus on the ways educational agents negociate or resist those identities, questionning the dominant forms of knowledge. A reflection on broad understandings of citizenship will serve as the structuring axis of the program. A biographical narrative of education pathways will be constructed by students and will be interpreted in the light of perspectives and theories that have already been the focus of Education ociological contributions. Social and cultural reproduction and social inequalities (social class, gender, ethnic origin, etc) will be central to interpret this biographical narrative as well as perceiving education also as a process of cultural production and of opportunities for the expansion of social rights and social justice.
Aims
- to identify socio-educational issues, mainly around Equal Opportunities, Youth and Citizenship, for the making of inclusive practices and policies;
- to identify, from the work of seminal authors in this domain, relevant sociological perspectives on education;

- to elaborate a small biolgraphical narrative (bographical method) embodying issues ane problems approached in sociology of education

Attendance at this curricular unit is obtained:
- attendance at 75% of the classes taught;
Students who have attended a minimum of 75% of the scheduled contact hours and have not obtained a mark of 10 or more in the distributed assessment may take the final exam. In this case, the exam is worth 100 per cent and no marks will be taken into account in the assessment.
Students who are unable to attend classes under special circumstances will be assessed using an alternative model and should contact their teachers at the beginning of the academic year.
The final grade (distributed assessment) results from the grade obtained in the following assessment components:
- preparation and interpretation of the above-mentioned narrative, potentially with a presentation - 50 per cent.
- a synthesis done individually on the basis of the programme, during a two-hour period in the first two weeks of January, the scheduled assessment period. This assessment component - graded from 0-20 - is worth 50 per cent.
To summarise:
50%+50%= 100%
It is possible to improve the final classification by taking an exam.
Students may request an exam to improve their classification only once per course, in one of the two periods, normal or appeal, immediately following the one in which they obtained approval and in which the course has an assessment test (Article 11, point 1. of the ‘Regulation of the principles to be observed in the assessment of students at the University of Porto and specific rules to be applied in FPCE courses’)
