Abstract(s)
O presente relatório centra-se na temática da Observação na Educação de Infância, o
qual intitulei de “Eu observo … tu observas … - a importância da Observação em Educação
de Infância”. Este estudo desenvolveu-se em dois contextos educativos, creche e jardim de
infância e tem como principal objetivo compreender o papel e a importância da observação na
prática educativa do/as educadores/as de infância.
O estudo enquadra-se no paradigma da investigação qualitativa, que segue a
metodologia da investigação-ação. Durante este processo os principais procedimentos de
recolha de informação foram as observações, os registos e a análise documental, assim como
as respostas dadas pelas educadoras cooperantes à entrevista semiestruturada que realizei.
Como procedimentos de tratamento da informação foi realizada análise de conteúdo. Tendo em
conta o tema da investigação apresento quatro intervenções que me ajudaram compreender a
importância da observação nas práticas educativas das educadoras cooperantes, e que me
possibilitou responder à questão de investigação - De que forma a observação influencia a
prática de um/a educador/a de infância?.
A construção deste relatório deu-me a oportunidade perceber o contributo e relevância
da observação na educação de infância em geral e em particular. Na prática das educadoras
cooperantes onde realizei os estágios no âmbito do mestrado a observação das crianças e a
reflexão que faziam sobre a informação recolhida eram a base das suas práticas educativas.
Compreendi assim que a observação tinha um papel fundamental nas práticas educativas das
educadoras cooperantes, pois permitia que as educadoras conseguissem conhecer as crianças,
planear e avaliar, assim como fundamentar e organizar a sua ação educativa.
Esta investigação promoveu o aprofundamento dos meus conhecimentos sobre a
observação, isto é, percebi que as informações recolhidas através da observação são o
fundamento das práticas educativas intencionais e adequadas às necessidades e interesses das
crianças.
The present report focuses on the theme of Observation in Early Childhood Education, which I titled "I observe... you observe... - the importance of Observation in Early Childhood Education." This study was developed in two educational contexts, nursery and kindergarten, and its main objective is to understand the role and importance of observation in the educational practice of early childhood educators. The study is framed within the qualitative research paradigm, following the (research- action?) methodology. During this process, the main procedures for collecting information were observations, records, and document analysis, as well as the responses given by educators during the semi-structured interview I conducted. Content analysis was performed as an information processing procedure. Considering the research topic, I present four interventions that helped me understand the importance of observation in the educational practices of the cooperating educators, allowing me to answer the research question - In what way does observation influence the practice of an early childhood educator? The construction of this report gave me the opportunity to understand the contribution and relevance of observation in early childhood education in general and in particular. In the practice of the cooperating educators where I completed the internships within the scope of the master's degree, the observation of children and the reflection they made on the information collected were the basis of their educational practices. I thus understood that observation played a fundamental role in the educational practices of the cooperating educators, as it allowed them to get to know the children, plan and evaluate, as well as support and organize their educational action. This research promoted the deepening of my knowledge about observation, that is, I realized that the information collected through observation is the foundation of intentional and appropriate educational practices to meet the needs and interests of children
