Estudo exploratório para implementação de um espaço maker

Abstract

The digital age brings a multitude of possibilities for accessing information and leads us to question: how will the school adapt to the new demands for learning in such a fast and challenging world? From this questioning, over a period of ten months a group of researchers from a public university conceived a proposal for a maker space (e-lab) for elementary school students, as a space for integration between research and learning. This report aims to present the work of organizing this space and its preliminary results. The methodology applied to gather the data was participant observation. Field notebooks and meeting minutes were used. In the discussions, the pedagogical didactic elements highlighted were: diagnostic evaluation to plan, organize, monitor and evaluate activities; performance of educators in two groups: tutoring-coaching and tutoring-scaffolding based on project pedagogy and problematization; work with educational reciprocity based on ethical values and respect for differences, for example, the age difference. The creation of the e-lab covered technical, structural and didactic-pedagogical aspects, but as it is proposal in implementation, it will be in the course of the activity, that is, in the implementation and execution of the activities, that it will be possible to evaluate and adjust the goals.
