Um modelo formativo em Ciência da Informação, de feição europeia e adequado a Bolonha : o caso da Universidade do Porto

Abstract

After a short review of the evolution of the formative models, in the so-called "BAD area", either at international level or in the Portuguese context, an approach of the challenges that the Bologna process places and the implications it has in the educational models in Portugal, is outlined. The particular case of the formative model in Information Science of the Oporto University and its adaptation to Bologna is analysed. In this process, the first and the second cycles of studies (bachelor and masters level) are restructured having into account the European orientations, not only at the curricular plan level, but also, as far as the definition of the competences to be developed, in each one of these cycles of studies, is concerned.
