O presente Relatório de Projeto de Investigação surge no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação
Pré-Escolar, possui como tema “A importância da organização do espaço e dos materiais em
educação de infância”, e como questão de investigação “Como pode o/a educador/a otimizar
e organizar o ambiente educativo com intencionalidade educativa em contexto educação
de infância?”. Neste sentido, de forma a dar resposta à questão de investigação, foram
descritas, analisadas e interpretadas propostas realizadas em dois contextos de estágio: creche
e jardim-de-infância.
Esta investigação enquadra-se na metodologia de abordagem qualitativa, mais precisamente,
na metodologia de investigação-ação. Assim sendo, de modo a realizar esta investigação foram
utilizadas diversas técnicas de recolha de informação, características da metodologia de
investigação-ação, nomeadamente: observação-ação; notas de campo; registos multimédia,
fotografias e vídeos; pesquisa e análise documental; e entrevistas semiestruturadas às
educadoras cooperantes e às crianças do contexto de jardim-de-infância. Todas as técnicas de
recolhas de informação acima mencionadas foram fundamentais para a interpretação das
propostas realizadas e experiências vividas em contexto de estágio, bem como para dar resposta
à questão de investigação.
Relativamente às propostas efetuadas em contexto de estágio, estas são descritas e, em seguida,
apresento um balanço onde reflito acerca da sua realização, mencionando as intencionalidades
ponderadas aquando da sua planificação, os pontos positivos a destacar, as dificuldades e
constrangimentos sentidos e as aprendizagens realizadas. A descrição e posterior balanço das
intervenções realizadas permitiu-me refletir acerca da temática em estudo, consolidar
aprendizagens realizadas e responder à questão de investigação.
Deste modo, através das observações e reflexões realizadas ao longo de todo este percurso
investigativo, pude compreender a importância que a organização do espaço e dos materiais
possuem no desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças. Durante a realização do presente
documento pude também concluir que o espaço e os materiais refletem as conceções e
intencionalidades dos educadores que o organizam, pelo que é importante que reflitam acerca
do mesmo e que o alterem consoante as necessidades e interesses do grupo de crianças,
incluindo-os neste processo.
This Research Project Report arises as part of the Master's Degree in Preschool Education. Its theme is “The importance of organizing space and materials in early childhood education” and the research question is “How can educators optimize and organize the educational environment with educational intentionality in the context of early childhood education?”. To answer the research question, proposals carried out in two internship contexts, nursery and kindergarten were described, analysed and interpreted. This research falls within the qualitative approach methodology, more precisely, the action research methodology. Therefore, to conduct this research, various information collection techniques characteristic of the action research methodology was used, namely: action observation; field notes; multimedia records, photographs and videos; research and documentary analysis; and semi-structured interviews with cooperating educators and children in the kindergarten context. All the above-mentioned techniques were fundamental for interpreting the proposals made and the experiences lived during the internship, as well as for answering the research question. The proposals implemented during the internship are described and subsequently evaluated, where I reflect on their effectiveness, discuss the planning intentions, highlight the strengths, challenges, and limitations, and share the insights gained. The description and subsequent evaluation of the interventions enabled me to reflect on the topic, consolidate my knowledge, and address the research question. Through the observations and reflections made throughout this investigative journey, I came to understand the significance of organizing space and materials in children's development and learning. the writing of this thesis, allowed me to conclude that the arrangement of space and materials mirrors the educators' intentions and beliefs. Therefore, it is crucial for educators to reflect on and adjust these elements based on the children's needs and interests, involving them in the process.
