Resumo(s)
As relações coloniais entre o Brasil e Portugal garantiram, durante muito tempo, a mobilidade de uma elite brasileira que pretendia formar-se na Universidade de Coimbra. No entanto, foi somente no século XXI que o fluxo dos estudantes brasileiros para o ensino superior português se intensificou, constituindo, desde 2008/2009, o maior grupo de estudantes internacionais em Portugal. Este trabalho pretende analisar as motivações dos estudantes brasileiros do ensino superior para estudar num país estrangeiro, escolher Portugal, e ainda identificar os fatores mais relevantes, de ordem individual, relacional e coletiva, que motivaram a escolha da universidade e da localidade de destino. Para tal, este estudo de caso utilizou uma triangulação metodológica, combinando dados qualitativos e quantitativos, de fontes secundárias de informação e de recolha direta (entrevistas e questionários). Foram realizadas 63 entrevistas em profundidade, a dirigentes universitários e estudantes, para além de um inquérito online, dirigido aos estudantes, que contou com 449 respostas válidas. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a motivação para estudar no estrangeiro, bem como a escolha do país, da universidade e da localidade de destino, constituem um processo complexo, resultante da interação de diferentes tipos de fatores. As motivações para estudar fora do Brasil, e para a escolha de Portugal, prenderam-se, sobretudo, com fatores de ordem individual, como ter uma experiência de vida e/ou académica no exterior, e com o capital linguístico e cultural dos estudantes. A escolha da universidade teve em conta, fundamentalmente, fatores coletivos e relacionais como, o prestígio da instituição de ensino, a existência do curso pretendido e de redes de conhecimento com estudantes que frequentavam, ou já tinham frequentado, esta instituição, para além das relações de cooperação (convênios) que as universidades portuguesas mantinham com as brasileiras. A escolha da localidade relacionou-se com a proximidade à universidade e com a qualidade de vida.
The colonial relations between Brazil and Portugal guaranteed, for a long time, the mobility of Brazilian elite who wanted to graduate from University of Coimbra. However, only in the 21st century, the flow of Brazilian students to Portuguese higher education has intensified, constituting, since 2008/2009, the largest group of international students in Portugal. This study intends to analyse the motivations of Brazilian students of higher education to study in a foreign country, choose Portugal and furthermore identify the most relevant factors, individual, relational and collective, that influenced the choice of the university and the place of destination. To this end, this case study used a methodological triangulation, combining qualitative and quantitative data, secondary sources of information and direct collection (interviews and questionnaires). A total of 63 in-depth interviews were conducted with university leaders and students, in addition to an online survey for students, which had 449 valid answers. The obtained results allowed to conclude that the motivation to study abroad, as well as the choice of the country, the university and the place of destination, constitute a complex process, resulting from the interaction of different factors. The motivations to study outside Brazil and to choose Portugal, were mainly related to individual factors, such as having a life and / or academic experience abroad, and the students' linguistic and cultural capital. The choice of the university consisted of, fundamentally, collective and relational factors such as the prestige of the educational institution, the existence of the intended course and the knowledge networks with students who attended and had already graduated from this institution, besides the relations of cooperation (agreements) that Portuguese universities maintained with the Brazilian universities. The choice of locality was related to the proximity to the university and the quality of life.
