Mostra a importância da pesquisa no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Enfoca a biblioteca escolar como estimuladora da prática da pesquisa escolar, a partir da Pedagogia de Projetos. Evidencia resultados de pesquisa de campo em uma escola de São Luís-MA, dirigida a alunos, professores e ao ambiente da biblioteca da escola. Propõe um modelo para o processo de pesquisa, através do uso de projetos, a ser aplicado no âmbito da biblioteca escolar, promovendo a eficácia da construção, concretização e internalização da pesquisa.

O objetivo do presente texto é apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa que procurou discutir a formação dos professores de Matemática que trabalham com projetos e documentar a maneira da implementação dessa proposta na escola. Os dados são provenientes de entrevistas com dez professores de Matemática, os quais atuam no Ensino Fundamental ou Médio. Seus relatos possibilitam identificar três formas diferentes de trabalhos com projetos: i) individualmente e por iniciativa própria; ii) por sugestão da escola, de forma fragmentada; iii) coletivamente. Não há indícios de que a formação inicial desses professores os tenha influenciado a trabalhar com projetos. Esse preparo foi construído ao longo de suas carreiras, através da participação em cursos de formação continuada, da experiência com a prática e das interferências de suas características pessoais.

This thesis investigates the possibilities of working with projects in order to provide training strategy and contribute to the continuous professional development for teachers of Early Childhood Education. It soughts to identify how the project work can contribute for making the teachers become more sensitive in their educational practice as to better serve children, stimulate their learning more effectively and allow them greater autonomy, but also for making them become more sensitive to their own needs, develop their autonomy and expand their knowledge. The purpose of this study was also to investigate what factors influence to the completion of project work to contribute to the professional development of kindergarten teachers. The analysis of professional development and teacher training are based on studies of Oliveira-Formosinho (1998, 2001, 2003, 2009), Dewey (1976, 1978), Nóvoa (1995), Imbernon (2009) and Gomes (2009) and of working with projects is based on Dewey (1978), Kilpatrick (2005), Barbosa & Horn (2008), Hernandèz (1998) and Oliveira-Formosinho (2002, 2007).This is a qualitative research, like action research, also called intervention (ANDRE 1995), with teachers from public schools in Fortaleza. Through intervention, these teachers experienced a project and later developed their own projects with their pupils. Data collection was done through techniques such as interviews and observations and instruments such as the Adult Engagement Scale and questionnaires. Data were recorded in the diary, video footage and pictures. Our findings indicate that training opportunities are more likely to happen when the project work is a formative process. The teachers, at different levels of involvement, developed, regarding the children, attitudes concerning the sensitivity of commitment, strove to “pay attention to” and listen to the children, to stimulate their learning by the proposition of challenging activities and their independence, in the opportunities for experimentation offered. They also developed, to themselves, attitudes related to the sensitivity of commitment, by paying attention to their needs and desires to learn about projects; as well as attitudes related to stimulation, by intending to engage in readings, in search of information and ideas for activities; and to autonomy, on the occasions of choosing and deciding how to accomplish these activities. These teachers revised positions about the learning expectations of younger children and public schools in order to develop projects and rethought the family participation in projects. The teachers were surprised at the protagonist attitude required in the planning and implementation of actions for the project. Factors related to the workplace and organizational conditions, such as training in the institution, the participation of the coordinator in group training; guidance of a trainer and availability of material resources contributed to the development efforts of the teachers. It was evident that the little time for training, the breach of agreements with respect to time and space allocated to training and the gap between management and the teachers have discouraged such efforts.

This study aims at describing and interpreting the complexity involved in the phenomenon of teaching German as a foreign language, where project development is taken as an additional means of constructing knowledge. The theoretical foundations of the current study are related to complexity (Demo, 2002; Maturana & Varella, 2007; Moraes, 2006; Morin, 2005; Tescarolo, 2005), and to the concept of project, as described and interpreted on the scope of this work (Almeida, 2005; Behrens, 2006; Boutinet, 2002; Hernández & Ventura, 1998; Josgrilbert, 2004; Moresco & Behar, s/d; Valente, 2005). Hermeneutic-phenomenological methodology was taken up for describing and interpreting the above mentioned phenomenon (Ricoeur, 2002; van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2006, 2007), by means of electronic-hermeneutic conversations (e-conversations) with a participating teacher, in a private language institute. In a complex scenario where previous understandings are acknowledged as additional strategies to teaching German as a foreign language, the research has shown that working with projects might help mediating, not only language learning itself, but it may also promote the construction of knowledge on socio-cultural aspects, as well as political and economical ones. Two major themes, attitude(s) and process, have come up while interpreting the phenomenon of teaching German as a foreign language, in its complexity, by working with projects

The discussion we have established in this study is about how the practice is developing educational projects based on work with because the methodological choice of the teacher. The study of an ethnographic qualitative approach was conducted with a group of six teachers in two public schools in School Administrative Zone north of the city of Natal / RN. Data were constructed from semi-structured, reinforced by the direct observation of the practice of teaching of teachers. The goals outlined were to identify the reasons why the option for the project, listing the benchmarks that subsidized their construction, the observation of everyday experience in educational planning and development of projects developed. In the light of information we can notice a complex and even contradictory, which is confusing the concepts and practices are weakened. The analysis revealed inconsistencies between theory and practice in working with projects, the fruit of little theoretical development of teachers. The adoption of the project as a methodological option has meant a change in direction of the effective action didactic. Reflects on this situation, it was concluded that there is a need to broaden the understanding of the significance of this type of work, covering the different dimensions that involve the practice of research, research and training of teachers. Even preventing the intentions and initiatives of the teachers, it must be emphasized is the process of learning within an approach that focuses the process of learning in multiple dimensions, inter-relational, both the capabilities of students in the areas of knowledge.
