Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como tema a importância de brincar ao ar livre no contexto do 1.º
ciclo do ensino básico. Partindo do pressuposto de que o contacto com a natureza e os espaços
exteriores contribui de forma significativa para o desenvolvimento global das crianças, este trabalho
teve como principal objetivo compreender as perceções de professores e alunos relativamente às
aprendizagens que ocorrem fora da sala de aula.
Foi adotada uma metodologia qualitativa e quantitativa, recorrendo à aplicação de um
questionário dirigido a educadores e professores do 1º ciclo do ensino básico, e à realização de
entrevistas a crianças do1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. A análise dos resultados revelou uma valorização
clara do brincar ao ar livre por parte dos profissionais de educação, que reconhecem os benefícios a
nível físico, emocional, social e cognitivo. Entre as principais aprendizagens destacadas estão a
criatividade, a cooperação, a resolução de problemas, o respeito pela natureza e o desenvolvimento da
autonomia. As crianças, por sua vez, expressaram entusiasmo pelas brincadeiras no exterior, referindo
sentimentos de alegria, liberdade e bem-estar, associando esses momentos à interação com os amigos
e à exploração do meio natural.
Conclui-se, desta forma, que o brincar ao ar livre é essencial para o crescimento saudável da
criança e que é necessário reforçar estratégias, recursos e mentalidades que promovam o contacto
regular com o exterior, mesmo perante adversidades como a meteorologia ou a escassez de materiais.
The present research focuses on the importance of outdoor play in the context of primary education. Based on the assumption that contact with nature and outdoor spaces significantly contributes to children’s overall development, this study aimed to understand teachers’ and students’ perceptions regarding the learning experiences that take place outside the classroom. A qualitative and quantitative methodology was adopted, involving the application of a questionnaire for educators and teachers, as well as interviews conducted with children from the 1st cycle of basic education. The data analysis revealed a clear appreciation for outdoor play among education professionals, who recognize its benefits at physical, emotional, social, and cognitive levels. The main types of learning identified include creativity, cooperation, problem-solving, respect for nature, and the development of autonomy. The children, in turn, expressed enthusiasm for outdoor play, reporting feelings of joy, freedom, and well-being, associating these moments with interaction with friends and the exploration of the natural environment. It is concluded that outdoor play is essential for the healthy growth of the child and that it is necessary to reinforce strategies, resources, and mindsets that promote regular contact with outdoor environments, even in the face of challenges such as weather conditions or limited materials.
