Abstract(s)
Este projeto de mestrado visa contribuir para um esforƧo
global de mudanƧa de certos padrƵes de pensamento, na
forma de um objeto de cultura visual que estimule o interesse
das crianƧas e as consciencialize de que todas as ideias que
acreditamos serem verdadeiras sobre nĆ³s mesmos, podem
ser desafiadas. Ao longo da vida, as pessoas colecionam
rĆ³tulos, e esses rĆ³tulos influenciam o modo como uma pessoa
pensa sobre si mesma, e se comporta, com base nesse
conhecimento. Contudo, a perspectiva que alguƩm pode ter
sobre o outro, nada tem que ver com a sua real identidade.
Isto deve-se ao facto de que as ideias de outras pessoas sĆ³
existem enquanto percepĆ§Ć£o individual da realidade, que se
devem Ć sua forma de ver o mundo, bem como a outros
fatores.
Ć possĆvel repensar rĆ³tulos negativos que nos foram
atribuĆdos no passado; parar de os reproduzir nas nossas
mentes; ter pensamentos positivos, com gentileza e apreƧo
por nĆ³s mesmos e pelos outros.
O projeto Ć©, assim, um livro ilustrado que demonstra
interativamente o conteĆŗdo baseado em pesquisa, de forma a
que uma crianƧa possa entender. Por fazermos parte de uma
realidade cada vez mais digital, dentro do livro, Ć© possĆvel ter
acesso a uma aplicaĆ§Ć£o mĆ³vel, onde o leitor pode colecionar
os seus feitos, mesmo os menores, para ir construindo uma
autoestima positiva.
A escolha do conteĆŗdo a ser apresentado no livro e a forma
como ele Ć© tratado partem dessa questĆ£o premente, que estĆ”
presente no dia-a-dia de grande parte das pessoas, sendo a
faixa etƔria a que se destina a dos 7 ou mais anos de idade, o
grupo etƔrio considerado mais adequado.
ApĆ³s terminar o livro "Inner Garden", a minha colega Joana
Sofia dos Santos Guerreiro utilizou-o para a sua dissertaĆ§Ć£o
de mestrado e apresentou-o a crianƧas do ensino bƔsico
portuguĆŖs para saber as reacƧƵes e opiniƵes das crianƧas
sobre o livro.
This masterās project aims to contribute to a global effort to change certain patterns of thinking, with an object of visual culture that is interesting for children and makes them aware that all the ideas about ourselves that we believe to be true can be challenged. Throughout life, people collect labels, and those labels influence how a person thinks about themselves and behaves based on that knowledge. But the way a person sees another person has nothing to do with who that person actually is. Because other people's ideas only exist in their perception of reality, based on their way of seeing the world and other factors. It is possible to rethink negative labels that have been attached to us in the past; to stop reproducing them in our minds; to think positive thoughts with kindness and appreciation for ourselves and others. The project is an illustrated picture book that interactively demonstrates research-based content in a way that a child can understand. Since we are part of an increasingly digital reality, you can access a mobile app inside the book where you can collect your accomplishments, even the smallest ones, to build positive self-esteem. The choice of content to be presented in the book and the way it is treated came from this pressing issue that is present in the daily lives of most people, with the age group of 7 years and older being the appropriate group. When I finished the book "Inner Garden,'' my colleague Joana Sofia dos Santos Guerreiro used it for her Master's thesis and presented it to children in the Portuguese primary school system to find out the children's reactions and opinions about the book.
