Abstract(s)
Os professores voluntários são um dos pilares das Universidades Seniores (US) em Portugal, em conjunto
com as entidades promotoras e com os alunos seniores. No entanto há pouca literatura sobre esta
temática. Neste estudo apresentamos os resultados de um inquérito feito a 575 desses elementos (de
uma população de mais de 7.500). Concluímos que os professores são de todas as idades,
maioritariamente voluntários e com cursos superiores, dão 2 horas de aulas por semana. Esta população
é também representada por reformados e ativos, estão muito satisfeitos com o seu voluntariado e as
principais motivações apresentadas são o gosto de ensinar e ajudar o próximo.

In this study, we present the results of a survey on 575 of them (out of a population of more than 7.500). We conclude that teachers are of all ages, mostly volunteers and with higher education degrees, who give 2 hours of classes per week. Retired and active people also represent this population. They are delighted with their volunteering and the main motivations presented are the pleasure of teaching and helping others.
