Resumo(s)
The current narrative on lifelong learning goes beyond formal
education and training, including learning at work, in the family
and in the community. Recognition of prior learning is a process
of evaluation of those skills and knowledge acquired through life
experience, allowing them to be formally recognized by the
qualification systems. It is a central aspect of lifelong learning. This
mixed-method study aimed to understand what changes were
perceived by participants due to their participation in a program
of recognition of prior learning in Portugal – grade 9 and grade
12 equivalence, resulting in certification. Content analysis of focus
groups and interviews identified changes at personal, educational
and training, and professional levels, but gains primarily occurred
at the personal level. A scale of changes in participants was
created to measure the effect of recognition of prior learning at
an individual level of analysis. Descriptive statistics revealed
mainly effects in terms of learning, increases in confidence,
realization of the prior knowledge and skills, valorization of the
life experience, and motivation to further learning.
