Pesquisa em sala de aula e a formação do professor pesquisador: análise de um caso.

Abstract

The aim of this 'report'(ve se eh esse o nome pode ser 'paper') is to develop the project "water supplying in Bage", related through researchs in the classroom and based on the School Model of Investigation, which the main goal was: building the benefits of the 'autonomy' and "cidadania" of the students and the teacher. From the investigation of the issue (Why do we have lack of water in some areas in Bage?), the reseach is focused on students learning, as well as, the influences of these techniques in my professional development. First of all, it was made a research with the students, who were involved, through surveys about the development of the project and its benefits in their learning, from the subjects and techniques used. Moreover, this experience allowed me to increase my own skills. I point out, in this project, the professional development boosted through questions and evaluation of a higher knowledge and common sense, made by a traditional model. As a alternative to get over the teaching issues, created by the traditional model of teaching, I introduce the School Model of Investigation, as a reference to be used by 'seacher-teachers'. Basically, the technique used in this project is: doing the researches in the classroom. In fact, that means to take advantage of all points of the debates, questions time, arguments and communication among the students, in order to develop the searching activities of them. That will allow them to increase their knowledge throughout 'pressupostos da cidadania e autonomia desejados'. This technique, not only allow the teachers evaluate their current performance, but also increase their professional capacity. Finally, the results had shown that the learning capacity of the students is 'boosted' (verbo boost ve se o passado eh boosted - cheers) by the techinique used, mainly, in terms related with attitude 'com a construcao da autonomia e da cidadadnia'. In conclusion, the development of these activities had permited me to reorganize and increase my professional knowledge.
