Resumo: This article reports a case study in a Portuguese public institution of higher education that aimed at characterizing the profile of the students that access the institution, through examinations for candidates aged 23 or over (M23 Access), focusing on the motivations for their entry and on their perspective of this type of access to higher education. This mixed method study used a questionnaire, answered by 180 former students. Acquisition of new knowledge, personal valorization and a professional change are among the most important reasons to access higher education. While analyzing the results, we are also able to discern the importance of implementing educational policies for adults, which, in the Portuguese case and regarding the promotion of learning opportunities for all, are still few and poorly disseminated.

Se realizó un estudio, de enfoque mixto, concretado a través de una encuesta por cuestionario respondida por 180 exestudiantes. La adquisición de nuevos conocimientos, la valorización personal y el cambio profesional son los motivos más considerados para el accesoa la enseñanza superior. La lectura de datos permite poner de relieve la importancia de las políticas de educación para adultos, que, en el caso portugués, son todavía escasas y localizadas, para la promoción de oportunidades de aprendizaje para todos.L’article présente une étude de cas menée, dans une institution publique portuguaise d’enseignement supérieur. Son objectif était de caractériser les étudiants qui ont accédé à cette institution par le biais d’un examen d’admission réservé aux plus de 23 ans et de connaître leur motivation, tout comme leur point de vue concernant ce type d’accès. Cette étude a utilisé une approche mixte, ayant recours à une enquête par questionnaire répondue par 180 anciens étudiants. L’acquisition de nouvelles connaissances, la valorisation personnelle et les changements professionnels ont été les raisons les plus envisagées pour l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur. L’interprétation des données a permis de souligner l’importance des politiques d’éducation destinées aux adultes, qui, au Portugal, sont encore rares et clairsemées, pour promouvoir les opportunités d’apprentissage pour tous.O artigo pretende apresentar um estudo de caso, aplicado numa instituição pública portuguesa de ensino superior, que teve a intenção de caracterizar os estudantes que ingressaram nessa instituição a partir da prova de acesso para maiores de 23 anos, conhecer os motivos para o seu ingresso, bem como a sua perspetiva sobre esta forma de acesso ao ensino superior. Foi realizado um estudo de abordagem mista concretizado através de um inquérito por questionário respondido por 180 ex-estudantes. A aquisição de novos conhecimentos, a valorização pessoal e a mudança profissional são os motivos mais considerados para o acesso ao ensino superior. A leitura dos dados permite destacar a importância das políticas educativas para adultos, que, no caso português, são ainda escassas e localizadas, para a promoção de oportunidades de aprendizagem para todos.Fundação Carlos Chagas2019-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/5943Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 49 No. 172: abr./jun.2019; 36-52Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 49 Núm. 172: abr./jun.2019; 36-52Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 49 No. 172: abr./jun.2019; 36-52Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 49 n. 172: abr./jun.2019; 36-521980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
