Pienso, imagino y creo: una experiencia de participación infantil a partir de la cocreación pedagógica

Abstract

The present research exercise arises from the interest in contributing to the conception of participation, from the co-creation of a didactic unit, in the school environment, specifically at the Gimnasio las Palmas School, with boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 8. years, of the Second grade, since many of them feel invisible, with regard to their opinions and interests and their participation in the classroom is subject to school dynamics; In order to make a real approach to the participation scenario of boys and girls, qualitative methodology and ethnographic approach in the educational field are used, as it allows us to get closer to the perception and experiences of children, in this sense. Workshops, observation, field diaries and visual methods are used, which reveal participatory practices, through the voices of the children.Finally, among the findings, it was found how the environments and participation practices that children experience in the school environment are developed, one of them is the need to be recognized, to expose their points of view, ideas, thoughts and interests, since they express not feeling listened to because of their age range, there is a predominance of adultcentrism, since they perceive notions of wisdom and experience, from the adult world as a guiding source; therefore, it is reflected about the true child participation.
