Research with children under three : their rights to participate in planning the curriculum in early years settings in Greece and England

Bitou, Angeliki January 2010 (has links)
This thesis poses a number of questions about research and pedagogy with young children under three, with a particular focus on the opportunities for children’s ‘voices’ to be heard and for them to participate in the planning of the curriculum in early years’ settings. The persistent division between education and care has been an issue in many European countries for a long time (OECD, 2006). The thesis reports on the findings of a research project in both England and Greece. The research aims were to consider how the meaning of children’s participation is defined in the settings in the two countries; whether children use the resources provided according to adult expectation and initial planning and how practitioners react to children’s choices by supporting, ignoring or disapproving them. The theoretical underpinning for the thesis is drawn particularly from the work of Rogoff and Corsaro. Research focused on six children in both England and Greece who were observed during their involvement in both adult directed and child initiated activities in the settings. An ethnographic approach together with a range of ‘participatory’ methods were used including data gathered through video recordings made by both children and adults.This study has found that children express their perceptions during an activity in a very complicated way, elaborating and examining all the parameters that could place them in trouble. Additionally, the findings have shown that what the child is doing during an activity is not always what he is thinking, while many times children appeared to have their own agenda, thus ignoring or subverting adult plans. The main finding is that no matter what the differences and similarities in early years’ education and care between the two countries are, there is an urgent need to promote the children’s participatory rights, as adult’s authority and power is generally taken for granted. This thesis argues for ethical tensions in research with young children and for balanced pedagogy where both adults’ and children’s voices influence the curriculum.

Entre se dizer e ser dito crianÃa: significados e sentidos construÃdos pelas crianÃas acerca da aÃÃo de participaÃÃo / Among say and be told child: significances and meanings constructed by children regarding the action of participation.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O presente trabalho objetivou compreender os significados e sentidos construÃdos pelas crianÃas acerca da aÃÃo de participaÃÃo. Dos diversos lugares que crianÃas ocupam na sociedade brasileira constata-se que junto aos discursos e prÃticas sociais que enaltecem seu direito à participaÃÃo e à voz na vida social e polÃtica, coerentes com o fato de as crianÃas serem facultados direitos e deveres, coexistem aqueles que a afirmam em um lugar de incapacidade e inferioridade no percurso de desenvolvimento do sujeito racional de uma sociedade eminentemente adultocÃntrica. Desde uma perspectiva histÃrico-cultural da constituiÃÃo humana, compreende-se que as crianÃas se constroem como tais nas tensÃes caracterÃsticas desse contexto. A participaÃÃo à compreendida no presente trabalho como uma aÃÃo que se concretiza na interaÃÃo com o(s) outro(s), em contextos social e culturalmente carregados de valores, sendo focadas as situaÃÃes cotidianas, com sua diversidade de modos possÃveis de participar. A pesquisa, de carÃter qualitativo, foi desenvolvida junto a um grupo de crianÃas e adolescentes, com idades entre 7 e 17 anos, participantes de um projeto social no nordeste brasileiro. Como tÃcnicas de geraÃÃo de dados, foram utilizadas a metodologia das Oficinas, caracterizando uma pesquisa-intervenÃÃo, e a observaÃÃo participante. As formas de registros adotadas foram o diÃrio de campo e a gravaÃÃo dos encontros em vÃdeo, seguida de transcriÃÃo. Os dados construÃdos foram analisados a partir do referencial da Rede de SignificaÃÃes e de uma anÃlise microgenÃtica na matriz histÃrico-cultural. As crianÃas e os adolescentes criaram estratÃgias participativas para lidar com a tensÃo entre o instituÃdo e a experiÃncia, produzindo sentidos em torno de significados hegemonicamente compartilhados acerca de sua participaÃÃo. Assim, a participaÃÃo destes sujeitos acontece em seu cotidiano, nas situaÃÃes mais simples de interaÃÃo, nos microespaÃos das relaÃÃes, assim como, em prÃticas participativas socialmente reconhecidas para que esse processo se concretize. Entretanto, as imagens de infÃncia presentes nas prÃticas com crianÃas muitas vezes acabam por (for)matar as experiÃncias de ser crianÃa e de participar, desconsiderando os contextos, as demandas e as possibilidades de um tempo que està sendo sempre desfeito, refeito e construÃdo. / This study aimed to understand the significances and meanings constructed by children regarding the action of participation. From the many places that children occupy in Brazilian society, it appears that, among the discourses and social practices that enhance their right to participation and voice in social and political life, consistent with the fact that rights and duties are assigned to the children, it coexists those that claim a place of inadequacy and inferiority in the course of development of the rational subject of an eminently adultocentric society. From a historical-cultural perspective of the human constitution, it is understood that children are constructed as such by the context characteristics tensions. Participation in this study is understood as an action that is realized in the interaction with the other (s) in cultural and social contexts filled with values, focusing on everyday situations, with their diversity of possible ways to participate. This qualitative research was developed with a group of children and adolescents aged between 7 and 17 years, participants in a social project in northeastern Brazil. As techniques for generating data, we used the methodology of the Workshops, characterizing an intervention research, and participant observation. The registers adopted were the field diary and video recording of meetings, followed by transcription. The constructed data was analyzed from the reference of Network of Significations and the microgenetic analysis by the historical-cultural matrix. The children and the adolescents created participatory strategies to deal with the tension between the instituted and the experience, producing meanings around shared hegemonic significances about their participation. Thus, the participation of these subjects happens in their daily lives, on most simple interaction, in micro-spaces of relations, as participatory practices socially recognized for this process to take place. However, images of children present in practices with children often end up formatting the experience of being a child and to participate, disregarding the contexts, needs and possibilities of a time that is always being undone, redone and built.

A visão das crianças sobre sua participação no contexto escolar: a vez e a voz da infância

Karlsson, Juliane Karla Freitas 01 November 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-11T13:59:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Juliane Karla Freitas Karlsson.pdf: 4400142 bytes, checksum: 3d45e7dc83b293e8c743fd6f4758236d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-11-01 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This research aims to investigate how a group of children understand and execute their participation in a public primary school in Manaus. Considering that this kind of participation in public spaces has been discussed more and more by researchers fighting for the rights of children. Therefore, we performed a qualitative and interpretative research, based on the triangulation of methods which emphasizes a dialectic construction to understand the phenomena, trough the combination and crossing of multiples points of view, instruments, and other areas of knowledge. Thus, starting with participant observation and a systematic record in a field diary, we perceived, as months went by, a lack of children participation in school due to the established power relations that submit them to a strict institutional hierarchy. In ten small focus groups, we created a space where the children could express their ideas and feelings, through dialogue and drawings, about how they see their participation in school. We found out that almost all of those children didn t see themselves as having rights at school; and they even proposed the use of punitive and controlling systems (similar to those employed by the school itself) to deal with problem children . Through digital and artisanal photography workshops, we created a mechanism for the children to play and modify their participation at school; by shooting pictures of what they liked the most in the school environment. All procedures have been helpful to allow us to compare, analyze, and interpret their actions and speech about children participation in the institutional context. Employing historic-cultural psychology and critic pedagogy we concluded that the school is too far removed from contributing to the subjective autonomy of the children. Nowadays, their biggest concern is not to live the present day, nor to question the school system, but only to hope for a better future when they will grow up and, finally, be considered someone . Today they are no one , just mere students / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal compreender como um grupo de crianças dos 1º e 5º anos de uma escola pública municipal de Manaus concebem e exercem a sua participação neste espaço. Considera-se que a participação infantil nos espaços públicos está cada vez mais nas pautas de discussão, tendo em vista a luta para a efetivação dos direitos sociais já respaldados em várias instâncias nacionais e internacionais. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa, pautada pela triangulação de métodos que enfatizam a construção dialética da compreensão do fenômeno, através da combinação e cruzamento de múltiplos pontos de vista, instrumentos e outras áreas do conhecimento. Por isso, a partir da observação participante com o registro sistemático em diário de campo, percebemos ao longo dos meses a ausência efetiva dos direitos das crianças de participar dos processos decisórios da gestão das atividades desenvolvidas no contexto escolar, devido às relações de poder estabelecidas, que condicionam a submissão da criança à hierarquia institucional. Nos 10 grupos focais realizados com pequenas turmas, possibilitamos um local no qual as crianças pudessem expressar suas ideias e sentimentos através da fala e dos desenhos sobre como participam da escola. Constatamos que elas em sua grande maioria, não se veem como sujeitos de direito nesse espaço e ainda propõem como solução para as crianças problemas o mesmo sistema punitivo da escola, reproduzindo uma cultura de vigiar e punir. Através das oficinas de fotografias digital e artesanal criamos um desvio metodológico no qual o objeto da pesquisa , i.e, as crianças, passou a pesquisar e subverter a sua participação na escola ao clicar o que mais gostavam do local. Todos os procedimentos nos ajudaram a comparar, analisar e interpretar as ações e falas das crianças sobre a sua participação no contexto escolar, através da psicologia históricocultural (que pensa a dimensão social do psiquismo humano) e pela pedagogia crítica (que entende a escola como um espaço de luta cujo fim deve ser a emancipação dos sujeitos). Concluímos que a escola está muito distante de contribuir para a formação subjetiva autônoma das crianças e, atualmente, a grande preocupação delas não é viver o presente, nem questionar o sistema escolar, mas esperar um futuro melhor, num tempo-espaço que justifica o estado atual das coisas. Assim, quando elas crescerem serão alguém; hoje não são ninguém, só estudantes

Children's participation in changing school grounds and public play areas in Scotland

Mannion, Gregory B. January 1999 (has links)
The study draws on theories of society, learning, planning and design, democracy, identity formation, and cultural change to inquire into children’s participation in the social sphere. The thesis emerges from the growing literature in the sociological and educational study of childhood, identity, space and culture. A case study approach, using a variety of participatory methods and photographic visual evidence, is employed to investigate the substantive issue of children’s participation in changing their locales in a contemporary Scottish context. Two main cases are narrated: the first concerns primary school children’s experience in participating in changing school grounds throughout Scotland; the second details the experience of one local authority’s efforts to enhance public play provision for children with disabilities. Local socio-cultural / spatial practices used in the construction of children’s participation and their places of learning, work, and play are described. Children are found to be ‘positioned’ between adult desires to increase children’s participation in matters that affect them, while at the same time, adults may wish to protect children from perceived dangers. The context for children’s participation takes cognisance of the influences of schooling, the exclusion of children from the workplace, as well as the influences of technology, the media, and the changes in family make-up. One central finding of the thesis is that children’s experience of participation appeared to be constructed out of ‘essential beliefs’ about the relations between children and adults, the nature of the child and the child’s ‘place’ in society.

La pesquisa fue realizada en un círculo infantil municipal de Santo André – S.P (Brasil),en los momentos dedicados a la formación continua en horário de trabajo, denominada Reunión Pedagógica Semanal (RPS). Participaron seis profesoras, de estas, dos fueron observadas en sus prácticas y participaron de devoluciones individuales. Para discutir conceptos de niño e sus trayectória en la história y en la educaçión, fueron utilizados los autores: Priore (2013), Kramer (1995; 2006), Sarmento (2007; 2009), e Kuhlmann (2000). Los autores que dieron las bases para la planificación en la Educación Infantil fueron Ostetto (2015) e Redin (2013). Para la discusión sobre la escuela democrática, estudiamos los autores Freire (1996; 2001), Araújo (2002) e Romão & Padilha (1997). Para abordar la cuestión de la participación de los niños utilizamos la autora Oliveira – Formosinho (2007; 2013), entre otros. La metodologia es cualitativa de acuerdo con Severino (2007), Luke y André (1986) y basada en los conceptos de Freire (1996) de acción-reflexión-acción de las prácticas pedagógicas, teniendo una propuesta de pesquisa-intervención. Los análisis de datos fueron realizados de acuerdo con Franco (2012). La pesquisa obtuvo como resultado que la ejecución de una planificación democrática y participativa con niños de círculo infantil es posible y que para eso es necesario que el profesor conciba al niño como un sujeto capaz y con derechos, que también produce cultura, teniendo como procedimientos metodológicos acciones que permitan el desarrollo de la democracia, siendo ellos de elección y de participación, promoviendo la constante actuación de los niños como protagonistas. / This essay had as research objective the democratic and participative planning build with children from 0 to 3 years old, the main objective was to analyze if it is possible to realize a collective planning in association with the children; having as specific object to analyze which conception of children make this job possible; and what are the best strategy the teacher can use to promote it. The accomplish research was realized in a municipal school in Santo Andre/SP (Brazil), at times intended for continuing education in working hours, called the Week Educational Meeting (RPS). Was attended of 6 teachers, which two were observed in their practices and participated in individual fed back. To discuss child concepcions, their history and path in education, were used as base the following authors: Priore (2013), Kramer (1995; 2006), Sarmento (2007; 2009) and Kuhlmann (2000). The authors that gave basis to the planning in childhood education were Ostetto (2015) and Redin (2013). To a discusition about the democratic school, we studied the following authors Freire (1996; 2001), Araújo (2002) and Romão & Padilha (1997). To address the issue of children's participation used to author Oliveira – Formosinho (2007; 2013), among others. The methodology is qualitative according to Severino (2007), Luke and André (1986) and is based in the concepts of Freire (1996) action-reflection-action of educational doings, having a proposal for intervention research. Information analyzed were performed according to Franco (2012). The research had as result that the exection of a democratic and participatory planning with daycare children is possible, and it is mandatory that the teacher conceives the child as a capable and with rights person, which also produces culture, having as methodological procedures, actions that allow the development of democracy, namely choice and participation, promoting the constant performance of children as protagonists. / Esta dissertação teve como objeto de pesquisa o planejamento democrático e participativo construído com crianças de 0 a 3 anos de idade; seu objetivo foi analisar se é possível realizar um planejamento coletivo com as crianças; tendo como objetivos específicos investigar qual concepção de criança torna possível esse trabalho; e quais as estratégias que o professor pode utilizar para promovê-lo.

Barninvolvering i socialtjänstenverksamhetsutveckling : En kvalitativ studie om barns delaktighet via Västermodellen

Wallin Salthammer, Björn January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this case study is to understand how children participation cancontribute to the organizations development through the Västermodel. TheVästermodel is a tool which four municipalities use to involve children in purpose toachieve a development. The method of use in this study has been semi structuredqualitative interviews and document analysis. The data has been collected from oneorganization that used the Västermodel during two years. The result shows that theVästermodel is orientated towards evaluation and that the children have a low degreeof participation. Despite this, the result show that the Västermodel has contributed toimprovements of the service and a higher degree of customer orientation. Theorganizations ability to work with continuous improvements also seems to havematured between the two years. The conclusion in this study is that the studiedapplication of the Västermodel can contribute to an organizational and a servicedevelopment, primarily through evaluation of existing services and how theorganization delivers that service. It could therefore be a first step towards a higherdegree of children involvement. The organizations need to take actions to analyze theimprovements that have been made to be able to show the value of childreninvolvement. / Denna fallstudie har syftat till att förstå hur barns delaktighet kan bidra tillsocialtjänstens verksamhetsutveckling genom Västermodellen. Västermodellen är ettarbetssätt som fyra kommuner använt för att involvera barn i syfte att åstadkomma enverksamhetsutveckling. Datainhämtningen har skett i form av kvalitativa intervjuer samtinhämtande av skriftliga dokument vilka har kvantifierats, datainhämtningen har ägtrum inom en organisation som använt sig utav Västermodellen under två års tid.Resultatet visar på att Västermodellen är utvärderingsorienterad där barnen utifrånbeskriven teori har en låg grad av involvering. Trots detta visar resultatet på attorganisationen med stöd av Västermodellen bidragit med förbättringsåtgärder och enökad kundorientering. Även organisationens förmåga att arbeta med ständigaförbättringar verkar ha mognat mellan de två åren. Slutsatserna i denna studie är blandannat att Västermodellen i den studerade tillämpningen visar på en förmåga att bidratill en verksamhetsutveckling, främst gällande befintliga tjänster och hur den tjänstenges. Västermodellen kan därmed utgöra ett första steg mot ökad barninvolvering,organisationen behöver dock vidta åtgärder för att analysera de förbättringsåtgärdersom genomförs för att visa på värdet av att involvera barnen.
