Abstract(s)
Ao longo dos anos é notável a evolução no que diz respeito à educação. A preocupação por um currículo significativo e funcional tem sido mais presente, com vista a promover o sucesso escolar. Aulas mais interativas, com estratégias inovadoras e apelativas passaram a ser fundamentais numa escola mais atual, assim como a relação entre professor-aluno, que também se foi ajustando aos tempos modernos. Houve a necessidade de adaptar o ensino, deixando de lado um ensino mais tradicional para usufruir de uma escola equitativa, com um ensino mais participativo. Nesta linha, também a participação das crianças passou a ser uma assídua temática, pela importância de colocar a criança como um agente ativo da sua própria aprendizagem. A criança é uma parte importante da sociedade, com a capacidade de entender o mundo que a rodeia, e ao colocar a criança no centro da sua aprendizagem está, certamente a promover-se o seu interesse, a participação efetiva, na procura de respostas a questões que ela mesmo formulou, impelindo-a a agir, explorar temáticas, e a refletir sobre as mesmas. A metodologia de trabalho de projeto, vai ao encontro destes princípios, valorizando a participação ativa da criança, que procura apresentar soluções para uma problemática, que investiga, partilha e debate ideias, e no fim, apresenta os resultados. Este estudo, centrado na praxis, tem como intenção analisar o envolvimento das crianças, em contexto de creche, jardim de infância e escola do 1.º CEB enquanto investigadoras e perceber o quão significante é para elas. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa, e as técnicas utilizadas são a observação participante, notas de campo, registo fotográficos e um inquérito por questionário. Através de alguns projetos, realizamos atividades propicias aos temas, e que foram ao encontro dos interesses das crianças. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, as crianças que fazem as suas próprias investigações, através do desenvolvimento do trabalho de projeto, por exemplo, têm um maior autonomia, criatividade e capacidade de resolução de problemas. Além disso, este tipo de trabalho proporciona oportunidades para a construção de relações significativas com os colegas e adultos, educadores e professores, contribuindo para um ambiente de aprendizagem rico e estimulante.
The evolution of education over the years has been remarkable. The concern for a meaningful and functional curriculum has become more present, with a view to promoting school success. More interactive lessons with innovative and appealing strategies have become fundamental in a more modern school, as has the teacher-student relationship, which has also been adjusted to modern times. There has been a need to adapt teaching, moving away from more traditional teaching towards an equitable school with more participatory teaching. In this vein, children's participation has also become a regular topic, given the importance of placing children as active agents of their own learning. Children are an important part of society, with the ability to understand the world around them, and by putting them at the center of their learning, we are certainly promoting their interest and effective participation in finding answers to questions they have formulated themselves, pushing them to act, explore issues and reflect on them. The project work methodology meets these principles, valuing the active participation of the child, who seeks to present solutions to a problem, who investigates, shares and debates ideas, and ultimately presents the results. This study, which focuses on praxis, aims to analyses the children's involvement as researchers in a nursery, kindergarten, and primary school context and to understand how significant it is for them. The methodology used is qualitative, and the techniques used are participant observation, field notes, photographic records, and a questionnaire survey. Through several projects, we carried out activities that were conducive to the themes and that met the children's interests. According to the results obtained, children who carry out their own research, through the development of project work, for example, have greater autonomy, creativity, and problem-solving skills. In addition, this type of work provides opportunities to build meaningful relationships with peers and adults, educators and teachers, contributing to a rich and stimulating learning environment.
