O presente relatório foi elaborado no âmbito da unidade curricular da Prática Profissional Supervisionada II (PSS II), pertencente ao 2.º ano do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar. O principal objetivo deste relatório assenta na descrição de todas as experiências vividas ao longo da prática realizada num contexto de Jardim de Infância, com um grupo de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os três e quatro anos, bem como a investigação de um tema que surgiu no decorrer na mesma.
Através das observações feitas na prática, durante os diversos tempos do grupo passados no exterior e do seu próximo contacto com a natureza, bem como todas as oportunidades, proporcionadas pela equipa educativa para que as crianças tivessem esses momentos, apercebi-me da importância da exploração da natureza, privilegiando o modelo pedagógico implementado na organização socioeducativa: o HighScope. Desta reflexão surgiu o tema para a investigação presente neste relatório: a importância da exploração da natureza em HighScope.
Tendo por base, uma abordagem de investigação qualitativa, este relatório segue as diretrizes de um estudo de caso. Para a recolha dos dados, sustentei-me não só na observação direta participante, que resultou nas notas de campo e nos registos fotográficos, mas também na observação indireta, através das entrevistas realizadas a educadoras das diversas valências da organização socioeducativa em questão, com o objetivo de compreender a conceção sobre a importância da exploração da natureza e esta mesma importância no modelo pedagógico implementado. Nas entrevistas intencionei, também, suscitar a reflexão sobre a importância da exploração da natureza enquanto parte integrante da prática do/a educador/a.
Desmistificando as diferenças entre tempo passado no exterior e contacto com a natureza, baseando-se nos dados recolhidos, a exploração da natureza é um momento fulcral no desenvolvimento e aprendizagem da criança, momento este impulsionador no desenvolvimento de competências e capacidades da mesma. Para além disso, este tempo ajuda as crianças a compreender o mundo à sua volta e a desenvolver a perceção do real. No modelo HighScope, este momento é imprescindível porque é através do contacto com o exterior e, consequentemente, com a natureza, que se aprende. Apesar da investigação se centrar na importância da exploração da natureza em HighScope, é evidente que a exploração da natureza é um momento essencial no quotidiano de qualquer criança.
ABSTRACT The present report was made in the ambit of Supervised Professional Practice II (PPS II), belonging to the 2.º year of master’s degree in Pre-School Education. The main objective of this report is based in the description of all the experiences lived throughout the practice carried out in a kindergarten context, with a group of children aged between three and four years, as well as the investigation of a theme that emerged during the previous. Through the observations made in practice, during the different times the group spent abroad and its close contact with nature, as well as all the opportunities provided by the educational team for children to have these moments, I realized the importance of exploration the nature, privileging the pedagogical model implemented in the socio-educational organization: the Highscope. From this reflection emerged the theme for the investigation present in this report: the importance of exploring nature in HighScope. Based on a qualitative research approach, this report follows the guidelines of a case study. For data collection, I relied not only on direct participant observation, which resulted in field notes and photographic records, but also on indirect observation, through interviews carried out with educators from the different areas of the socio-educational organization in question, with the aim of objective of understanding the conception about the importance of exploring nature and this same importance in the implemented pedagogical model. In the interviews, I also intended to provoke reflection on the importance of exploring nature as an integral part of the educator’s practice. Demystifying the differences between time spent outdoors and contact with nature, based on the data collected, the exploration of nature is a key moment in the development and learning of the child, a moment that boosts the development of skills and abilities of the same. In addition, this time helps children understand the world around them and develop a perception of reality. In the HighScope model, this moment is essential because it is through contact with the outside and, consequently, with nature, that one learn. Although the research focuses on the importance of exploring nature in HighScope, it is clear that exploring nature is an essential moment in every child’s daily life.
