Abstract(s)
O presente relatório, desenvolvido no âmbito do Mestrado em Educação Pré-
Escolar da Escola Superior de Educação de Coimbra, apresenta um estudo de
investigação-ação realizado durante a prática educativa no ano letivo de 2023/2024, num
Jardim de Infância da rede pública, com um grupo de 21 crianças entre os 3 e os 6 anos.
Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender de que forma a utilização de
materiais naturais em atividades de artes visuais pode favorecer o desenvolvimento da
criatividade das crianças em contexto de jardim de infância. A definição do tema partiu
da observação de um dos interesses comuns do grupo, especialmente pela natureza e
pelas artes visuais. A partir dessa observação surgiu o projeto “Mãos que criam a
natureza”, composto por quatro sessões: leitura do Livro Esta Flor É Minha! de Alice
Hemming (2023), um passeio onde as crianças realizaram desenho à vista e recolheram
materiais naturais, pintura com esses materiais e criação de escultura em barro.
A recolha de dados foi realizada através de observação participante, registos
fotográficos e videográficos, gravação de áudios, entrevista com as crianças e análise das
suas produções gráficas. Ao longo das sessões, verificou-se um desenvolvimento da
criatividade, autonomia, imaginação e expressão pessoal das crianças. Verificou-se que a
integração de elementos naturais nas práticas artísticas promove aprendizagens
significativas e reforça a ligação das crianças com o ambiente. Conclui-se, assim, a
importância de integrar regularmente estas práticas no contexto educativo, incentivando
uma relação mais consciente e harmoniosa com o mundo que as rodeia.
This report, developed as part of the master’s degree in Pre-School Education at the Coimbra School of Education, presents an action research study carried out during educational practice in the 2023/2024 school year, in a public kindergarten, with a group of 21 children between the ages of 3 and 6. The aim of this study was to understand how the use of natural materials in visual arts activities can foster the development of children's creativity in a kindergarten setting. The theme was defined by observing the group's interests, especially in nature and the visual arts. This led to the project “Hands that create nature”, which consisted of four sessions: reading the story Esta Flor É Minha! by Alice Hemming (2023), a walk where the children drew pictures and collected natural materials, painting with these materials and creating a clay sculpture. Data was collected through participant observation, photographic and videographic recordings, audio recordings, interviews with the children and analysis of their graphic productions. Throughout the sessions, the children's creativity, autonomy, imagination and self-expression developed. It was found that integrating the natural environment into artistic practices promotes meaningful learning and strengthens the children's connection to the environment. This concludes the importance of regularly integrating these practices into the educational context, encouraging a more conscious and harmonious relationship with the world around them.
