Pretendemos com este artigo dar a conhecer um trabalho final de Seminário realizado no âmbito do curso de Complementos de Formação de Educadores de Infância, em 2005-06, na Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu (Portugal) e que teve subjacente um projecto de investigação-acção desenvolvido num Jardim-de-Infância da rede pública. A questão central desta investigação foi a de determinar até que ponto a educadora, através da sua prática pedagógica, poderia contribuir para a aproximação no mesmo espaço educativo de crianças oriundas de culturas e etnias diferentes. A reflexão, baseada na autoscopia (autoavaliação feita pela própria das suas práticas pedagógicas) e na heteroscopia (avaliação feita pelos pares), através da observação de gravações vídeo e da utilização de uma grelha de registo de dados, permitiu à educadora questionar as suas atitudes no desempenho profissional, com vista à renovação da sua prática pedagógica.
