La participación infantil en la organización de los ambientes de aprendizaje

Abstract

The present title work entitled "Children's participation in the organization of learning environments", is a research and educational innovation project that arises from a problem evidenced along pre-professional practices carried out in some Initial Education centers (cities of Cuenca and Azogues) about participation of children is limited to comment, propose and execute actions of their interest in relation to what they learn and the design of their learning environments. In response to this situation, the purpose was to create opportunities for participation in the organization of the learning environments for the children of the parallel 4C of the morning session of the Initial Education Center "Ciudad de Cuenca". The theoretical contributions on child participation, its forms and levels, proposed by Hart (1993), Trilla and Novella (2001), constituted the main references of the study. The methodology was proposed under a qualitative approach, through Participatory Action Research and the use of techniques and tools, such as: participant observation, documentary review, interviews and assemblies. The proposal developed with the children participating in the study favorably transformed this form of participation in this scenario.
