The school journey is one of many visual aids in perceptual learning. It is not the purpose of the writer to over-estimate the values of this method of teaching, but to suggest it as one activity that meets the need of many individuals for growth and maturation, as well as a technique for capturing the educational values of direct contact with the world in which children live.

This dissertation describes the introduction and development of school journeys within the Swedish elementary schools during the period 1890 to 1940. The study focuses on how the jour­neys were perceived, organised and performed by elementary school teachers and their pupils. The development of school journeys is mainly due to two different organisations: The Elemen­tary School Teachers of Sweden (Sveriges allmänna folkskollärarförening, SAF) and the Swe­dish Tourist Association (Svenska Turistföreningen, STF). The latter started to support school journeys performed by elementary schools in 1898, by allowing teachers to apply for economic benefits. SAF, on the other hand, helped the development of journeys through the production of guidelines. They also appointed a special School Journey Committee 1899 that were to pro­mote school journeys, and they introduced special youth hostels for travelling school-classes in about 50 cities in Sweden during 1897-1930. School journeys were introduced in Sweden in 1894. The term was used to describe longer journeys taken by school children under the direction of teachers. Its intention was to give the pupil direct experience of the work that had been done in the classroom. The subjects that were dealt with in school, geography, history and nature studies, were thus objectified during the journey. Children were to see and experience such things that hitherto had been nothing but names. In this dissertation the different purposes of the journeys are discussed and it is argued that the journeys became a mean to translate into practise some of the progressive educational prin­ciples that Swedish progressive educators discussed at the end of the nineteenth century. These principles included that education should be based on direct observation, that it should pro­mote self-activity and that it should give the pupils a sense of the national community and shape their national identity. The study consists of three parts. The first part deals with the origin of school journeys and the educational principle of direct observation. The second part presents the ways the notion of school journeys were translated into practise. The third part discusses the image of Sweden that was presented to the children, through the journeys. / digitalisering@umu

Esta dissertação se insere nos estudos da linha de pesquisa Políticas, Direitos e Desigualdades, do Mestrado em Educação da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Tratase de uma pesquisa sobre um projeto de ampliação de jornada escolar realizado em uma escola da rede de ensino público do município de Niterói. A presente pesquisa se desenvolveu a partir da seguinte questão: que resultados as atividades de ampliação de jornada escolar trazem à escola e aos alunos? Para responder a esse questionamento, defini como objetivo geral investigar a experiência escolar vivenciada por alunos do ensino fundamental regular, que permaneceram três anos em um projeto de ampliação de jornada. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa se constituiu em um estudo de caso instrumental, que descreveu, discutiu e analisou a complexidade de um caso concreto de projeto de ampliação de jornada desenvolvido por uma empresa de economia mista, que atua em parceria direta com a escolacampo. A partir da investigação do projeto em vigor, um recorte da realidade se fez necessário para se chegar ao foco da pesquisa, que é a sistematização dos resultados escolares de alunos participantes do projeto de ampliação de jornada. O rendimento escolar foi tratado a partir dos indicadores avaliativos dos alunos já existentes na escola, como as notas e registros das avaliações internas e externas; os resultados da Prova Brasil e do IDEB; e a frequência escolar. Compõe ainda a parte metodológica desta pesquisa, o levantamento e análise de documentos governamentais e escolares; o levantamento e análise dos registros das avaliações externas e internas dos alunos; a realização de entrevistas e a observação direta. Para dar suporte a esta proposta de pesquisa, foram utilizados como referência teórica sobre educação integral e ampliação de jornada escolar, os estudos de CAVALIERE (2002, 2009, 2012), COELHO (2009), MAURÍCIO (2009, 2012); com relação a discussão acerca dos indicadores educacionais e rendimento escolar foram utilizados os estudos de BROOKE (2008) e LAHIRE (1997). / This thesis is part of the studies in the Policy, Rights and Differences field in Masters degree of the University of Rio de Janeiro State (UERJ). It is a survey on a school journey expansion project performed in a public school in Niterói. This research was held from the question: what outcomes the school journey expansion brings to school and to students? To answer this question, I set as general objective look into the elementary and basic school students performance that stays at least three years in the extended school journey. In methodological regarding, was constituted in an instrumental case study, that described, discussed and analyzed the complexity of a real case of a school journey expansion project performed by a mixed capital company, that act as a partner of the school studied here. From the project into effect, a cut out of the reality showed as necessary to reach the object of the study, which seems as the systematization of the performance of the students that participants in the extended journey project. The academic performance was handled from the students evaluation indicators that already existing in the school studied here, as well both internal and external grades and records; the results of Prova Brasil and IDEB; and school attendance. Is a methodological part of this study the research and analysis of governmental and school files; the research and analysis of both internal and external students evaluation; interviews and field observation. To support this study were used as full period education and school journey expansion theoretical reference the studies of CAVALIERE (2002, 2009, 2012), COELHO (2009), MAURÍCIO (2009, 2012); regarding evaluation indicators and academic performance discuss were used the studies of BROOKE (2008) e LAHIRE (1997).

Les élèves faisant le voyage dans la journée pour visiter le Musée-Mémorial d’Auschwitz-Birkenau font une expérience particulière à la fois de ce site et de l’événement dont il est la trace. Ils ne se contentent pas de recevoir passivement les informations qui leurs sont donnés, mais les réinvestissent dans leur propre champ d’expérience. Ils l’élaborent à partir des différents élément matériels et des différents informations qui leurs sont donnés sur le site. L’image de l’espace est le moyen par lequel quelque chose est communiqué et le résultat de cette communication. Le compte-rendu de la manière dont un groupe d’élève parle de sa visite quelques semaines plus tard permet d’observer la constitution de cet espace vécu et cette mémoire, lorsque ce qui a été éprouvé se met en mots malgré la difficulté du passage de la perception éprouvée à l’élaboration discursive qui se manifeste dans la plupart des situations d’interlocutions. Chaque moment de la visite est associé à des informations apprises sous forme de notions générales dont ils se rendent compte et de représentations mentales qu’ils imaginent, ainsi qu’à des ressentis. À travers cela, ils prennent conscience du caractère à la fois morbide et empathique de la nature humaine. Il s’agit d’une expérience touristique particulière. Se crée alors une certaine communauté entre ceux qui ont eu cette expérience et la volonté de la transmettre qui est à la fois une exigence civique et un besoin de mettre en mot un vécu intime pour le comprendre. Cependant, dans la mesure où cette transmission engage l’intimité d’un vécu et non des informations historiques, elle ne se fait qu’à des proches perçus comme étant intéressés / Pupils making the day trip to visit the Memorial Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau have a particular experience both of this site and the event the event of which is the trace. They do not passively receive information given to them, but reinvest it in their own fields of experience. They do it from various material elements and informations which are given during the day into the site. The image of the place is both the way by which something is communicated and at the same time the result of this communication. The report of how a group of pupil speaks about its visit a few weeks later allows to observe the constitution of this living space and this memory. What was felt puts itself in word, despite the difficulty of the passage perception proven to the discursive development manifested in most interlocutions situations. Every moment of the visit is associated with learned information that are general concepts they realize and mental representations they imagine, and with feelings. Through this, they become aware of the human nature that is both morbid and empathetic. So this is a different experience of those are touristic entertainment. There is a community between those who had this experience and the will to transmit that is both a civic requirement and a need to put in word an intimate real-life experience to understand it. However, to the extent that this transmission engages the intimacy of a real-life experience and not af a historical information, it is made only to close people perceived as being interested
