Abstract(s)
No âmbito da unidade curricular da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada, integrada no
Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar (EPE) e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico (CEB),
desenvolveu-se uma ação educativa em contexto de creche, jardim de infância (JI) e
1.ºCEB, na qual se procurou planificar e implementar experiências de ensinoaprendizagem que fossem ao encontro das necessidades e dos interesses das crianças e
possibilitassem um maior contacto com o espaço exterior e com a natureza. A
investigação centra-se na ideia do espaço exterior enquanto contexto educativo,
potenciando as oportunidades que o exterior poderá proporcionar às crianças, através da
vivência de experiências singulares, aprendizagens e desenvolvimento em diferentes
domínios. Delinearam-se os seguintes objetivos: i) planificar atividades ao ar livre que
suscitem o desafio, permitam o conhecimento prático e a exploração da natureza e dos
seus recursos; ii) melhorar a qualidade dos espaços exteriores, tirando partido da
diversificação de recursos e atendendo aos interesses das crianças; iii) criar no contexto
exterior do pré-escolar, um espaço educativo, considerando-o como um prolongamento
do espaço interior; e iv) perceber as perceções das crianças, relativamente ao espaço
exterior. Elegeu-se uma investigação de natureza qualitativa, na qual se recorreu a
diferente técnicas e instrumentos para a obtenção dos dados necessários ao estudo, como:
a observação participante, as notas de campo, os registos fotográficos e o inquérito por
questionário realizado ao grupo de crianças do JI e do 1.º CEB. Durante a prática
investigativa adotou-se uma atitude reflexiva e crítica relativamente ao trabalho
desenvolvido. Os resultados obtidos no estudo indicam que as crianças têm uma maior
satisfação por brincar e aprender ao ar livre, bem como, interagir com a natureza e com
os seus recursos, evidenciando uma maior motivação pela aprendizagem, mais
concentração, participação entre os pares, bem como vontade incessante de exploração.
As part of the Supervised Teaching Practice course unit within the master’s degree in PreSchool Education and Primary School Teaching, an educational action was developed in a nursery school, kindergarten, and primary school context, in which we tried to plan and implement teaching-learning experiences that would meet the children's needs and interests and allow greater contact with the outside space and nature. The research focuses on the idea of the outdoor space as an educational context, enhancing the opportunities that the outdoors may provide to children, through unique experiences, learning and development in different areas. The following objectives were outlined: i) to plan outdoor activities that raise the challenge, allow the practical knowledge and exploration of nature and its resources; ii) to improve the quality of outdoor spaces, taking advantage of the diversification of resources and meeting the children's interests; iii) to create in the preschool outdoor context, an educational space, considering it as an extension of the indoor space; and iv) to understand the children's perceptions regarding the outdoor space. Qualitative research was chosen, in which different techniques and instruments were used to obtain the data necessary for the study, such as: participant observation, field notes, photographic records and the questionnaire survey conducted with the group of preschool and primary school children. During the investigative practice a reflective and critical attitude was adopted in relation to the work developed. The results obtained in the study indicate that children have a greater satisfaction for playing and learning outdoors, as well as interacting with nature and its resources, showing a greater motivation for learning, more concentration, participation among peers, as well as an incessant desire for exploration.
