Abstract(s)
As crianças da atual geração estão cada vez mais precoces. Ouvem e falam
de tudo. São sagazes, inteligentes e atentas ao mundo que descobrem a cada
dia. Características que, se de um lado chamam à atenção, por outro inspiram
desafios, aos pais responsáveis e, é claro, aos educadores. Assim, ambicionase
que (no campo educativo) a aprendizagem e a educação para a cidadania
se convertam numa prioridade do ensino. A escola enquanto instituição
considera-se como um espaço privilegiado para a formação de cidadãos. É
necessário que os professores reflitam sobre a sua prática pedagógica de
forma a promover nas crianças competências para o pleno exercício da
cidadania. A presente investigação percorre os caminhos da cidadania no
sentido de perceber como se caracterizam os consumos e gastos efetuados
pelos alunos na escola e que conhecimentos têm estes e os seus
pais/encarregados de educação acerca dos mesmos. Ao mesmo tempo,
procuramos perceber se as ações de sensibilização surtem os efeitos
desejáveis em matéria de consumo, poupança e saúde. Privilegiamos um
quadro de investigação numa perspetiva interpretativa e adotamos o uso de
instrumentos qualitativos e quantitativos de recolha e análise da informação
numa turma de 5º ano. Os resultados deste estudo permitiram evidenciar que
existem muitas fragilidades e que os professores podem potenciar o
desenvolvimento de competências de cidadania nas crianças, criando na sua
prática pedagógica ambientes onde esta se viva. Os dados obtidos ainda
sugerem que as tarefas desenvolvidas e os materiais utilizados permitiram aos
alunos tomar consciência dos seus consumos, gastos e mudar
comportamentos.
The children of the present generation are getting more and more precocious. They listen and talk about everything. They are sagacious, intelligent and attentive to the world they discover every day. On the one hand these characteristics call attention, on the other hand they inspire challenges to the responsible parents and, of course, educators. Thus, it is hoped that in the educational field learning and education for citizenship will become a priority of education. The school as an institution is considered as a privileged space for the formation of citizens. It is necessary for teachers to reflect on their pedagogical practice in order to promote in children skills for the full exercise of citizenship. The present investigation goes through the paths of citizenship in order to understand how the consumption and spending of students in school are characterized and what knowledge these and their parents/guardians have about them. At the same time, we seek to understand whether awareness-raising actions have the desired effects on consumption, savings and health. We favoured a research framework from an interpretive perspective and adopted the use of qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis tools in a 5th form class. The results of this study made it possible to show that there are many weaknesses and that teachers can foster the development of citizenship competences in children by providing them the appropriate environment in their pedagogical practices. The data obtained also suggest that the tasks developed and the materials used allowed the students to become aware of their consumption, spending and made them change behaviours.
